    YO JOE!!! A few of us are getting back together, but the goal is to return to our 3-person setup one day. Oh, few things we missed in this episode: In the UK the GI Joe are known as ACTION FORCE, much like the Ninja Turtles being the Hero Turtles. They redid the theme songs and everything as Action Force and Sgt. Slaughter was changed to Sgt. Slammer! Weird. We also wanted to get more into how the soundtrack needed something like Transformer's Stan Bush songs, but this episode was already running a little long. Hope you know more about GI Joe now, and knowing is half the battle.

      don't forget, the transformers cartoons was also based in the same reality. Cobra Commander later shows up in an episode of Transformers dealing with synthoid human bodies that the transformers are put into. he's called Old Snake in the episode and he's obviously wearing the face plate and at the end when he's leaving he starts to shout out "Cobra" but he start starts to cough.

If you’re calling him a habitual liar because he was trying to protect the business and his character then I guess he’s a habitual liar. Also by your logic most wrestlers are all Habitual liars because they were all working you from the start.

    One thing I liked about the GI JOE cartoon was that they put a lot of detail in the background. Most cartoons would put in bland backgrounds, but I find every scene to be really impressive.

    Jinx and Tunnel Rat were my favorite characters on the Joe side. I loved the Swamp Rats team too. Buzzsaw, Torch, Tomax and Xamot..

    I do have to disagree with this movie being a starting point if you want to get into GI Joe. Start with the original TV miniseries in 1983 and 84. They are much better without all the weird Cobra-La stuff.

    A few years ago I had the honor and privilege to interview Buzz Dixon, one of the legendary writers on the Sunbow family of cartoons.

    Quick Fact : Sgt Slaughter is a WWE character... he was NEVER in the Army... he is an actor and thats it... i've seen a few documentaries about when he was "claiming" he had been in the Army, which was false, but back then wrestlers would stick to their characters 24/7 as if it were reality...
