G.I. Joe Classified Series

[DarthDre758]

I have to imagine that GI Joe was getting inspiration from MASK at the time.

Possibly. MASK debuted in late 1985, and the Costal Defender hit in 1986.

 

[Ru1977]

Yes, the Mobile Armed Latrine, codenamed Battle Johnny.

 

[DarthDre758]

I read "a hammer?" With complete shock. Probably Bradley Whitford.

"Its clearly time to do my hammer idea!" The head of R&D couldn't deny the battle landscape has shifted completely from the realm of his understanding. Maybe it was time to listen to ideas he used to think we're irretrievably stupid.

"Jimmy! The hammer thing was great! What else do you have?!"

"You know that Sky Hawk thing we made a while back? Lets take that and put helicopter blades on it!"

"Brilliant!"

[Ru1977]

"Ew! I love it!"

Cobra has never even heard of OSHA, but Joes R&D will stare OSHA in the eye and laugh when they hit print.

Poor Steam Roller.

 

[Ru1977]

Joe R&D must have even smaller vests to treat Steam Roller that way.

 

[docsilence]

Poor Steam Roller.

He throws that clip board at least three times a day in rage-fueled frustration. "THAT IS AGAINST CODE"

 

[Ru1977]

His office is probably STACKED with replacement clipboards.

It's stupid how much this makes me want a Steam Roller figure even more.

 

[TENIME]

I assume this was already talked about yesterday, but my AWE Striker is going back in time?

 

[DarthDre758]

22% of the Joe budget is for clipboards. 16% is for vests.

 

[Revox]

Jeez, I was beginning to wonder if this fella would ever show up but finally, here he is.

 

[DarthDre758]

He turned out so well. Probably one of my favorites of the year.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Jeez, I was beginning to wonder if this fella would ever show up but finally, here he is.

Well, no wonder. It looks like you live in a pretty remote area

 

[vicious]

I just got Dial Tone recently as well, from EE. I like him way more than expected.

His little computer that opens up is giving Barbie accessory vibes and I'm all for it.
