G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #46 - Dr. Mindbender (Valor Vs. Venom)

Day 44 - Mercer (Energon) (10/26/25)

Apologies, we will come back to ROC later on, but for now we're kicking off a week for different versions of characters we have in Classified. The Energon adult animated series is coming, surely a Mercer (evil version) isn't far behind.

Eh. I generally like the Energon character designs (I'd be a yes for most of the characters on those team cover images), but this Mercer looks like the creative team slapped an existing character name onto an OC of their own making. Not a hard no, but light "nah" for me, meaning a cool enough figure I could be talked into it. (Realizing that the "should've been a new character but they needed name recognition" is my low-key pet peeve with a lot of newer comics versions.)
 
Not sure how I feel about Energon Mercer as a figure. I would buy it for sure, but I feel he would need to be Road Pig sized. Yet more muscular and then it becomes a question of would he just be another Sgt. Slaughter reuse?
 
I'm down. I have a big digital pile of the EU building up, I think I only read the first issue of Duke. I'm waay behind. But I'm about 6 years behind on all my comics.
