Larry Hama said the dreadnoks liking grape soda and chocolate donuts was a metaphor for alcohol and drugs

I love all the Sunbow references. I’m rewatching now for the first time since I was a kid and it’s aged really well. Somehow it manages to simultaneously be: weirdly nuanced and humane cold war propaganda, unabashed corporate toy marketing, and an exquisitely insane and exciting piece of entertainment. It’s also bats**t crazy in the best way. Plus, the Joe corps is a love letter to every part of the US, with Joes that hail from every state. As a masshole I always had a soft spot for Barbecue, Doc, and Lady Jaye.

Great video! One Easter egg that wasn’t in here is the person in the distance on the box art for the Arctic B.A.T., which many think is Snowjob. Look closely though, it doesn’t have Snowjob’s brown shoulder straps and the face inside the hood is black. I believe it may be Snake Eyes in arctic gear.

I had heard that the box art for Agent Helix and Shockwave were swapped. The presence of police cars in Agent Helix's box art was meant to put Shockwave as one of the agents. As for Helix being under the bridge with the train....I am not so sure. It is possible that this train is the same train featured on Metal Head's box art with Gnawgahyde riding on it.

@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal 8 ай бұрын

I heard the same idea about the swap, but I don't think it makes sense. That would be hard to do. If you read SILENT OPTION mini-series you;ll see why my theory makes more sense. It's possibly her most significant story line and it involves a house and a SWAT team at the climax (I edited this because, there is certainly the possibility I am wrong)

@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal 8 ай бұрын

You could be right about the train. I don't know for sure on that one, but there's not a lot to pull from with Shockwave, as he was later in the line and so missed the Sunbow cartoons, leaving only the terrible DIC series to pull from

buzzers badge and dog tags may also be a reference to the episode where some of the joes go to an alternate timeline. buzzer was a cop in that timeline and the dogtags could be from joes he killed in that timeline.

Interesting. Yeah, Buzzer always had a badge and I never questioned why until I watched a review (I think it was Hooded Cobra Commander 788's review). But that is an interesting addition @HCC788

It’s funny seems like half the fans think chuckles Walkman was just a fun nod to transformers and nothing to be taken seriously and the other half are very adamant that it’s sound blaster it’s part of the story line there spying on the joes (when none of that has been confirmed) like you said we will just have to wait and see …….I mean they definitely have a crossover of some sort planned

I heard that they mistakenly switched the backgrounds of Helix and Shockwave. He should be in front of the SWAT truck, and she should be on the shore in front of a bridge.

@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal 8 ай бұрын

I heard Baldylocks reviews say "What? t seems like they should swap Shockwave & Helix's box art." But it wasn't a statement that is what happened. It was a statement that it SEEMS like that's what happened. I think the idea that they made that big of a mistake is pretty hard to swallow. Plus, when you read the IDW series, the Swat team makes perfect sense for Helix
