    G.I. Joe Classified Beamish-Style Weekend Vehicle Poll - #44 - Cobra Fang II

    I don't know, the bright color is what attracts me to it. I always thought it was the military cousin of the Gator from MASK.

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #167 - Velocity (Plague)

    Take away the sleeves, but the keep the vest as is. Gives it a good balance of future tech and classic look that way I think.

    Naughty or Nice by Fresh Monkey Fiction

    Just as an aside, I am always down for Evil Robot versions of beloved characters.

    Bike yes. Nok bikes don't need to be too outrageous.

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #167 - Velocity (Plague)

    Being a young teenager when all that came out, we thought that was the coolest shit and how lame characters like Captain America and Superman looked in comparison. My goodness, those designs did not age well at all and it's a reminder of why the classics are classics. The only rationale I can...

    Storm Rider is what somebody in 2006 thought edgy young bikers looked like. I wasn't really following Joe during this era, but to me it looks like in an attempt to make them more "realistic" and "grounded", the designs came out super generic and boring. DD Zarana- Yes on the left, looks like a...

    G.I. Joe Classified Beamish-Style Weekend Vehicle Poll - #44 - Cobra Fang II

    It looks like a ride at a waterpark, ideally built for 9-16 years olds, but 47 year old pirate men can fit with mild discomfort as well.

    Big Bad Workshop General

    Maybe for Monster Force, that Koala gains intelligence and seeks revenge against those that killed his friend. Either way, I think it's the appropriate amount of absurd that I adore.

    Zanzibar yes, but give him Ripper levels of design refresh.

    Somebody let their awkward uncle join the team so he could leave grandma's basement.

    He needs a little more pop, but sure. Maybe if he had an actual machete on display.

    GI Joe x TMNT toys coming.

    I'll throw my name in for support of Jada. Let the little guys show what they got.

    GI Joe x TMNT toys coming.

    Makes me wonder if these will be some of the last TMNT under Playmates.

    I don't know why, but this guy works a bit more then the last one. Sure.

    GI Joe x TMNT toys coming.

    I'm not upset at this. And was that a render of April/Scarlett with the bike?

    You'd think they'd just paint the vest a different color to add some semblance of uniqueness, but nope.

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #167 - Velocity (Plague)

    I was gonna say, isn't that Gnawgahyde? Makes me wonder if some chucklehead thought the original name was too lame and wanted a new name. Change his vest, maybe give him an unnecessary amount of tats, different head, then he can be a decent third tier Nok.

    They live in a universe where OSHA was just a suggestion.

    I don't love it when there isn't at least 5 foot clearance from rotor at 500 rpms with no canopy. But of this thing skims across the swamp, why have a rotor up top?

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #167 - Velocity (Plague)

    Kaos seems like a failed Mortal Kombat character. Nothing about him scream Dreadnok. I could see him as a generic Cobra villain, hired Tomax and Xamot to pull a heist, knowing he will fail so it acts as a distraction for the real trouble they are pulling elsewhere. However, I actually think he...

    Burnout, yes. DD Torch, meh. I've met two types of bikers in my life. The "Let's go cause trouble for anyone who isn't us" type and the "Let's go cause trouble for anyone who stands in our way for delivering funds we raised for children's hospitals so all treatment is free. And a BBQ in the...

    Generic background Nok on the right. Batman goon that gets Robin's batarang to the face just after commercial break on the left. The right seems like a decent alt look, but doesn't exactly scream Ripper to me.
