I have to agree with everyone else here. By 1985 Hasbro and beefed up the molds and improved the sculpting over the 1982-1983 stuff. The characters were all reality / military based enough to be believable. Cobra command structure had been developed and the troops weren't ridiculously specialized yet. After 1985 stuff slowly started to unravel. 1986 was a great year, but Serpentor should never have been introduced. We simply shouldn't have gone down that road. And 1986 was the first year neon colors were introduced. Also a road that should never have been traveled.
