Cobra would have done a lot better if they'd ever decided they needed to kill off a bunch of characters to make room for new ones (and thus, new toys to sell)

See Transformers: The Movie where they kill the poo poo out of absolutely everybody, including offing Optimus Prime in like the first 20 minutes and having Megatron straight up end an autobot execution style while the autobot is literally wrapping his arms around Megatron's legs begging for his life.

1980s transformers is a masterwork and you will not convince me otherwise

I remember one of the biggest fan complaints of the comic was that no one ever died; either side. It was, "No way that many weapons get fired over years and not a single person has died?" It wasn't blood lust per se, but just "Really?"

GI Joe comics eventually devolved into a toy catalogue, pimping new characters and vehicles to buy.

They eventually added "Battleforce 2000" or something, an addition of some new Joes to the team that had all their own cool vehicles. About 6 characters if I recall. Their dumbass vehicles could all combine for no obvious reason, essentially rendering them immobile in the battlefield.

The toys for them did not sell well, and readers of the comics complained it was just stupid.

So they did it, they finally offed some Joes. All of Battleforce was wiped out in a single issue. It was funny/stupid as heck.

Hell yeah, and he decided to stay behind with some other Joes to help rebuild that world.


As an adult I found out they left all those Joes in that reality because they canceled their toys to make room for new ones, which is far more clever than just murdering everyone like the Transformers movie.

You know, I'm thinking the Joes had no problem leaving this guy behind because they could see the writing on the wall with him.

He was already thinking about leaving the Joes because he was so sick of the never ending battle. Probably had they never gone over to that alternate world he would have eventually sold them all out to Cobra the moment Baronessempai noticed him.

What I'm saying is that he probably caused the downfall of the Joes in that parallel world.

Your mother!

GI Joe Retaliation has the US Army annihilating GI Joe and killing almost everyone at their base because Zartan is impersonating the president of the United States, that's a pretty big win.

Cobra should have run Serpentor as a presidential candidate with a NAGA organization backing him.

Big campaign promise is to literally crucify his political enemies if elected, due to ancient Roman emperor genetics in his DNA.

None of us or our friends had figures of female GI Joe characters growing up. We were forced to import sisters' Barbie dolls into the imaginative play which would result in stories of either shrink rays, growth rays to explain scale difference. Also, Barbie Baroness was always in disguise as a tennis player or fashion model for the plot.

No Assisting "GI Joe" Again. It's about small government and cutting funding to wasteful diversity programs like the Joes.
