So here is my feelings about the cartoon. I hauled ass home everyday from school just so I wouldn't miss an episode. I remember after watching, my brother and I would grab the Skystriker and Rattler and run around the back yard and front yards of our neighbors shooting the hell out of each other. I didnt care that they made some snake critter/guy out of some crazy dead a-hole leaders and tyrants from the past. I didnt care that there were big tube worms,or that a big stone statue came to life in Montezumas temple. (That was a bad case of Montezumas revenge)LOL. I just looked at it as the best thing to happen to cartoons since Scooby Doo and Robotech!! Sure everyone could hop in a Skystriker,they were a highly trained special mission force werent they? Im living proof anyone can fly a plane!! I can really. I think now there could have been some things that could have been different in terms of the reality of some of the equipment and their functionality. Didnt it get your imagination going as a kid of how you could play with your Joes? It did with me!! It was a great platform to which the possibilities were limitless with what we could do. As adults we are faced with the cruelty of reality and what war is really like and what is possible and whats not. I love the fact that there were jetpacks. Harsh reality, those things would burn the shit outta your legs and lower back!! Cobras jumping out Fang helis and deploying a chute in time to make it. Yeah right. You know what I say to it all??? F**K it! We got a kickass toyline that has lasted for 25yrs and still strong as ever. Look at some of the things we produce as a hobby/obsession? The best dio stories are here, custom figures and vehicles. All because of what we watched as kids 25 yrs ago.
