dark energon is the cause and that is what keeps unicron alive.. years ago there was a transformers vs gi joe comic where cobra found the ARK with all the autobots and decepticons stil in stasis from the crash and they remade them all into weapons and such if they go that route it be super dope
@mrdunbar6758 I think I have that story(IDW or Devils Due) and it was very well done. What they did to Duke and the Twins was cool. I’m pretty sure I had the Marvel run version of the story too. Maybe do a sub-line like Retros? This way I can keep them separate for my mental health haha
I'm really loving the design for Shooter she looks so freaking cool and she's another female Joe which I'm really digging since we don't have a lot of ladies on this line . No body likes a sausage party 😂😂😂😂. I am also liking the Mole Vipers design and to me, it appears like the Mole Viper's face is swappable and you can switch between the mask and the infected face... I'm hoping to get these and if possible the Crimson Alley Viper but the latter is not a priority to me
Nice to see you wearing an Iron Maiden shirt, my favorite heavy metal band of all time, trying to decide which album is the best between Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind or Somewhere in Time is difficult.
@@BaldyLockz Never had the honor of going to their concert as I don’t enjoy being around that many people but I did watch a concert of theirs on TV as a kid.
Don't really care for transformers like others may when it comes to merging them with the Joes but I am excited for the shooter the crimson alley viper and the mole rat.... I don't have any v1 alley vipers I don't mind the orange and blue but the crimson colors now make more sense✨👍
I’ll tell you what, give me little nods between the franchises but I feel the same, keep them separate for this line. The Dark Energon is coming but I don’t need Classified Transformers unless they get super creative and change the whole thing up.
SHOOTER was the standout for me! She is a beauty, I'll be getting her. I'll pass on the Crimson. I would get the Zombie, if her wore different colors, i don't like the purple and yellow.
Great video. Will get shooter, 2 mole rats, and 2 crimson alley vipers. I feel like there is plenty of Gi joe material that they don’t need to mix in Transformers for the classified line. Unfortunately, this may be a case of a future movie starting to influence the direction of the line which would be a mistake.
I’m really hoping it’s just a subtle approach they go with. I don’t think either franchise needs the help of the other but since the movies are going that route you may be right
I am good with Shooter. More female characters in the ranks :). I will probably get 2 each of the Mole Rats and Crimson Alley Vipers. I suspect they are going to sell out quick. As for Transformers entering Classified, I suspect they are going to release figures that look like or represent a Transformer. Remeber way back when they released an Arcee GIJOE figure? She was human but had her color scheme, etc. They also did another character. I can see them making a Classified Arcee.
I'm into the Night Force stuff. With Big Ben, Rip-Cord and hopefully Crazy Legs, I think she would be good addition to this team. I'm with you on that Alley Viper. I'm buying 2 of these new ones. My inner 10 year old says we don't need Mole Rat, my inner 10 year old is strictly ARAH, but it piqued my interest so I'll get a couple. I would have liked the name Zombie Viper better than Mole Rat. Mole Rat doesn't sound cobraish at all.
Yeah, who wants a job called Mole Rat?!? Make me a Tunnel Viper and then let the Zombie thing happen. But I’m with you on the name. Mole Rat is kinda weak
I knew Yo Joe July was going to be expensive. What is Yo Joe August going to look like? Hmmm, well now you got me thinking, seeing that Megatron gun with Zartan, which looks awesome btw, and with the o-ring Baroness HISS tank Meagtron mash up..........what if the Crimson Baroness comes with her own official Megatron handgun? Now that would be more then meets the eye!
Haha it’s been expensive. That’s a great idea and that’s what I want. Like Chuckles, give us little nods to the Transformers without adding them to the series
Best video to date. I really appreciate the breakdown of the dark energon and how it correlates to _G.I. JOE._ As far as Shooter I'm looking forward to her because she's one of the figures that I most wanted to see in the _Classified Series._ Her look gives me a kind of _Sigma 6, G.I. JOE: Extreme_ kinda vibe. I like it and it gives me an impression of what the _Sigma 6_ and _Extreme_ characters would look like in the _Classified Series._ Hey _Baldy_ Jodi doesn't look like Rihanna. Rihanna is a light skin chick with a big ass forehead. Rather Shooter bears a resemblance to Candace Owen's. 🤣
Thanks a lot! I can’t wait to get Shooter. I can see that with the design but I also see a little simplicity like an OG “14”. Maybe I’m off with Rihanna but she popped right in my head. Could you imagine CO as a Sniper?!?
I don’t like Transformers coming into the Classified line, I like it in the comics but that is where it should stay, but if they need to add it to a toy line keep it with the 3.34” line. Can’t wait to order these figures
@@BaldyLockz I couldn’t see my self buying a classified vehicle that transforms, I fell it takes away from the vehicle it is supposed to be, let’s hope they continue it with the o-ring figures.
Easter eggs are okay but I hate cross overs. It's like DC, I enjoy Batman and street level crime far more separated from the Justice league metas and Supes. I'm fine with allowing people to choose what they want as far as both worlds. Have the crossover in comics, in the Oring line, but leave Classified alone, do a new line for that like the retro cardbacks. Don't sell it under one umbrella, the TF movie flopped and Joe/formers is going to tank huge. I know for a fact it's not going to sell and am just disappointed they don't do something new, do something new besides what you have been doing for 30 years. And I think Classified is good enough taking that Cold War, and 40's/60's serialization of adventure and weird pop sci fi, ninja king fu mysticism, 80's GiJoe and throwing in 1/3rd modernization to bring it into the present while keeping true to the aesthetic. I'm fairly sure they will drop the dark energon thing fast, just like the lame Joe Pro holographic Transformer communicator nonsense. And it boggled my mind why Chuckles even has a Joe Pro on him.
Not SO suttel please! I'll pay anything to have 1/12 scale tranformer model vehicles that Gi Joe classified can ride in! Id pay for vehicle alt mode and sold seperately robot mode unTransformable for better articulation. I don't have time for complicated transformations anyway! Id pay over 200-1000 depending if they do Combiners and Triple-Changers (yes Id buy all 3 modes)! They ARE CROSSING over Transformers Vs GI JOE in the movies also so why not and HASLAB!
Great video I really want Shooter!
Me too. She looks bad ass. I like how she’s got some simplicity to kind of make her a part of the OG “14”
Been seeing those purple crystals. Never even thought about transformers being an option. Very insightful.
Thank you. Let’s see what happens. I like the subtle references I don’t think I want Transformers in the line though.
@@BaldyLockz no, me neither.

@@BaldyLockz Understood👍✨
Thanks, now i have to pick up shockwave for that gun.
It’s a well done little piece but the plastic is soft. Maybe I’ll do a review on Shockwave RED even though he’s about a year old now.
SHOOTER was the standout for me! She is a beauty, I'll be getting her. I'll pass on the Crimson. I would get the Zombie, if her wore different colors, i don't like the purple and yellow.
I like we are getting another new female character. She looks great

Definitely want the Crimson Alley, but I still have to get Range Viper.
I still have my original Range Viper. This updated Classified looks so good
@@BaldyLockz I'm going to be mad if I can't get one. :)
I am good with Shooter. More female characters in the ranks :). I will probably get 2 each of the Mole Rats and Crimson Alley Vipers. I suspect they are going to sell out quick.

Yes!! That I could get behind. Clever nods. I think I’m going with 2 AV and 3 of the Mole Rats. I need to see the Mole Rats in hand first
These shared exclusives are cool, Hasbro Pulse & Walmart.
Moreover, this is a good video.
Thanks so much. I think we’ll all have a good chance to get these
@@BaldyLockz Agreed!
Moreover, you're doing awesome work! 👍
Preordered the Mole Rat, if only it would arrive by spooky season
The perfect October figure will likely come out near Christmas haha
I'm into the Night Force stuff. With Big Ben, Rip-Cord and hopefully Crazy Legs, I think she would be good addition to this team. I'm with you on that Alley Viper. I'm buying 2 of these new ones.

If you can, you should back the Dragonfly. By the time it funds you get TWO Nightforce characters. Riocord and Crazy Legs.
from my understanding Mole Rats and the leaked “zombie vipers” are one and the same as no one knew what Mole Rats were at the time
Yes sir, I think I worded/edited it poorly. But I agree these are the Zombie Vipers
I hope these go up on pulse UK, no Walmart's in the UK. We have Asda, but I doubt they will be stocking Gi Joe.
Did you see the announcement of Pulse expansion in the UK/Europe? I think it could happen for you
@@BaldyLockz I didn't. I'll check it out.

@@BaldyLockz Zoe Saldana... Would love to see Shooter in her retro form, with less SCI-FI gear.
I’m pretty sure the mole rats are what was thought to be zombie vipers
Correct. That’s what I meant to imply but I think I said/edited it weird. These are definitely the Zombie Vipers
Pretty sure Mole Rats are the Zombie Vipers
I’m pretty sure you’re right. I guess I said it weird but this will be where the Cobra zombies start.
Keep it coming !!!my Guy Awesome content and vids
WORD !!!!🫵🏿✌🏿

100% agree. It gives the Orings some life and uniqueness by having them crossover. For Classified just some clever nods works for me

Totally agree. But not too many. My wallet needs a break

When are those supposed to start arriving at Walmart?
Next week. I’m adding the links in the description
