Casting/help for "Battle of Cobra-La"

Many years ago, Marvel UK released "As Thick as Thieves", a story that didn't follow their continuity, but was a prologue fro the animated movie, involving Cobra-La and the Broadcast Energy Transmitter. In 2008, Hasbro released the Lt Falcon/Nemesis Enforcer pack with the comic "Showdown at the Top of the World", which seemed to continue from an unreleased "Battle of Cobra-La" two-parter. Now I'm going to make a story between "As Thick as Thieves" and "Showdown at the Top of the World", a story of how could have been a comic-book version of Cobra-La, and the logic title is that of the unreleased "Battle of Cobra-La".
Now I'm making the casting of figures, based on the charas who appeared or were mentioned to be there in both "...Thieves" and "Showdown...", beginning with

. I lack Dial-Tone,

, Mainframe and Lift-Ticket, but I have

(end of "Showdown"), Dusty (both stories), Falcon (Showdown), Flint (Thieves), Hawk (Thieves), Lady Jaye (Thieves), Leatherneck (end of "Thieves"),

(end of "Thieves"),

(Thieves), Sci-Fi (mentioned in "Thieves") and Wild Bill (mentioned in "Thieves")

A problem with which I need help is the chronological point, since the UK story wasn't made to coincide with the comic continuity. Given the presence of both

and Serpentor, it could be between US #52 and #53, but at that time Falcon (main chara in the comic pack story) didn't have appeared yet. The other possibility is duroing the period between US #64 and #72, when

was really the imposter Fred VII, but that raises the problem that

(who was very important in the plot of the UK story) had left

during that period. What can I do?
No

members appeared in "Showdown", so everyone here is from "As Thick as Thieves. I lack

,

and Serpentor, but I have

,

, a Crimson Guardsman,

, Tomax and Xamot and a Viper (not exactly the classic Viper from "Thieves" but a Viper anyways).

To make a Cobra-La story, there must be Cobra-La charas. I lack Pythona (who appeared in "Thieves") for obvious reasons, but I have Nemesis Enforcer and a Royal Guard, both having appeared in "Showdown at the Top of the World".

Now I'm casting some charas that DIDN'T appear in any of both stories:
Golobulus (because a leaderless Cobra-La would be boring), Iceberg (since the story will happen, or at least begin, in snowy places), Sandstorm (because Dusty will be there), :snakeeyes: and

(because some stories need them and

, who is already there). Maybe I could include more

members, but I haven't thought who else.

If I include any other

, he should be one of these:

, Croc Master, Dr Mindbender,

, Raptor, Scar-Face (he's alive due to a mistake: his appearance in issue #32 1/2) or

.

Possible Dreadnok appearances: Buzzer, Thrasher, Torch, Zanzibar (not so sure about this one; depends of the chronological point) and Zarana. Even though I have Gnawgahyde and Road Pig, they don't belong to that period.

Apart of the Siegie and Viper, I could use the other generics that belonged to that time: BATs, Eel,

, Ice Viper, Snow Serpent, Techno-Viper and Sea Slug.

And here I need help again: I don't have neither Serpentor nor Pythona, but I find them neccessary for this specific story, so here's the casting:
Serpentor: The MOTU villain King Hiss is slightly similar, but the scale... then I made my Mortal Kombat Liu Kang figure use some Serpentor's accessories I have. What do you think?
Pythona: I selected three Star Wars figures. Which one of them is better as Pythona?
PS: I guess I'll use Mortal Kombat Goro, Street Fighter Blanka and some figures from other collections as other Cobra-La citizens to not have an army of just four.

Ok, then King Hiss as Serpentor. Now i just need to decide the timeframe and who is better for Pythona (Aayla, Luminara or Slave Leia).
