Who is your favorite Joe, or COBRA? hard mode: no snake eyes

>>88930732
favorite joe? i dunno, that newer animated series tunnelrat was pretty slick, as well as that duke. im pretty sure it was called renegades? I dunno, im not a huge GI JOE fan, but i really liked that show and an anime movie I saw a long time ago. I forgot the name of it and could never find it. Its got a really brutal fight between stormshadow and snake eyes, you know what im talkin about?

Anywho, good luck on your thread anon. I hope to see obscure joes.

Joe: Sargent Slaughter

>>88931000
Probably because he doesn't wrestle anymore

>>88931017

>>88931000

i kind of think it's because they no longer have rights to his likeness or something because there was a recent issue of ARAH in which he was shown, but only in silhouette

Yes. Even after I opened the full image, it took me several seconds to realize what he was actually doing.

Neat. Is it the whole lineup in the comics, or just a few? Guile is obvious, but who else made the cut?

It's a franchise jam-packed with fantastic characters so it's really really hard to choose just a few. But here's some that I enjoy a lot

Joes:
Roadblock
Outback
Lady Jaye
Flint

Cobras:
Wild Weasel
Destro
Firefly
Raptor

Joe: Tunnel Rat, Lady Jaye
Cobra: Baroness, Firefly
Superfluous 3rd tier character affiliated with neither: Daina from the Oktober Guard

Favorite Joe: Wild Bill. Cowboy pilots are rad.

Shipwreck is objectively thr best Joe, but GI Joe vs Transformers made me love General Flagg and Scarlet.

>>88930732
Joes: Shipwreck, no contest here. Roadblock and Rock'n'Roll are close third and second.

Cobra: firstly Cobra Commander for being a joy to read and watch. Secondly Destro for being, well, Destro.

Fumbles you know the best sniper they had until the incident.

Sgt. Slaughter. He's as strong as they come.
I don't know. Destro, I guess?

>>88937537
I still love that bit.

Favorite Cobra: Cobra Commander

IDW's Rock 'n' Roll might become my favorite Joe overtime though if he continues being great.

>>88930732

Zartan. I like him the way he was near the end of the original comic, as this independent force that can dance between the Joes and the Cobras and Destro by being sneakier than any of them.

I own 20 Cobra Commanders. You can practically have an army of those two and Storm Shadows.

Why aren't there more "explosives/demolition experts" in G.I. Joe? You'd think that'd be an obvious "specialty" for characters to have, but it's super rare in the series.

Rock and Roll. Or Shockwave, because his original toy was badass.

people attribute this to the faceless, primary colored, nature of the cobras

>>88952660
Yeah, the fact that he's one of the original Joes but never really got used much is why he's being used as the "main character" of the new ongoing. I'm liking him so far.

>>88952660
Best written cartoon Joe. Had some amazing, character building episodes in both Sunbow and DiC. And when he wasn't the focus or was on screen simply as a supporting Joe, he was hilarious.

So Shipwreck's design always bothered me. He's got the markings of a Chief Petty Officer, and he's always set as a post WWII sailor. Problem is, Chiefs wore khaki-colored uniforms after WWII. Those dungarees (tunic and work pants you see there) are for lower enlisted ratings.

Also, what's his rate? Boatswain's Mate? That's what they always make generic sailor characters because they have the iconic double anchor insignia, but has GI Joe ever asked this question?

His original look is a callback to the 1964 Action Sailor toy. Most versions of the toys are an alt color of that look, a diving suit or a commando sweater and knit cap. His filecards list him as E-7/CPO. No idea about his rate. This is the most recent Shipwreck.

He has Wild Weasel's face mask, doesn't he?

Well that was a bad decision

Are you literally blind and using a text to speech function to be in this thread? That's the only reason I can think of that you'd ask that question.

Yeah, his shoulder insignia on the OP is for a Chief (E-7/CPO), but unlike actual Chief emblems, his doesn't have his rate. A real CPO badge looks like pic related.

Thanks, sorry for putting so much thought into a toyline...silly on my part. With that new look, he's definitely rated an SO (Special Operations AKA SEAL). If his logo was correct, it would have the SEAL insignia instead of the crossed keys. It's hard to find a non-shitty image of the SEAL Chief insignia, so I had to use my rates...

Also, as an aside, if it's gold in color, that means they've gone 12 years without major disciplinary issues, so it's actually okay that Shipwreck's are red. He's probably done some shit.

David Duchovny?

Wait, holy fucking shit, there's new X-Files!? How did I not know this!?

Well, I think they generally tried their best. Larry Hama certainly wrote with his Army service in mind.

Yea that is one of the reasons he wound up in the Joes. He got pulled out the brig.

What exactly gets you into the Joes anyways? It seems like the most eclectic and fucked up organization imaginable. Like something that no one can actually apply or train for, just something you get pulled into.

I think basically Flagg/Hawk gets to pick whoever he wants for the team?

I honestly don't think they've ever gone into how recruits are actually chosen, in ANY version of the series. There have been a few stories where potential recruits are given a test mission to be cleared to join, though.

>>88970431
Actually trying to bump more than anything.

>>88971222
I genuinely would like to see a story about the whole bureaucratic process on how that works.

>>88971222
First gen was whomever they saw fit. Later they picked rawer recruits and sent them to train with Sgt. Slaughter at his compound.

Would you all play a G.I Joe fighting game done by Neither-realms Studios? I know most people here don't care for Japanese game studios.

But I want Hasbro vs. Capcom.
