When "4:20" Used To Mean 10 More Minutes Until G.I. Joe!

We at Lethal Dos grew up on 80s cartoons, which might help explain what's wrong with us. When we're not wrestling little people or designing web pages, we watch G.I. Joe. The Movie. You know why?

Team Action Cartoons

I don't know about you, but G.I. Joe was IT for me when I was 10. It came on RIGHT after school so I really had to run straight home to see new ones. But it also played in the morning and after a while you'd pretty much seen them all. I sort of LIKED all the others, but G.I. Joe was religion for me and most of my peers. I attribute G.I. Joe for my success in the Air Force - I was naturally interested in jets and missiles and tanks and everything.

Get Your Original G.I. Joe Cartoon Fix!

There's been a 3" G.I. Joe revival in the last couple of years, but to me none of them seem quite right. Maybe I just remember them differently, but the supposedly original molds just don't seem the same. Well, at least there's always the orginal. Check out the Original G.I. Joe Miniseries below. I didn't even know there was one!

Transformers

christinsword says:

Transformers, of course!

retrostatic says:

Transformers, of course. They're robots, they become cool vehicles, it doesn't get better than that ;)

G.I. Joe

LethalDos says:

It's all about G.I. Joe! The cartoon to rule all others. Snake Eyes. Stormshadow. Roadblock. Cobra Commander. Serpentor. Transformers is awesome, but G.I. Joe WAS 1985 America.

Tiny Creatures

I ate a Smurf once. I had to get my stomach pumped. It was not pretty. Plus there was blue die all over my clothes that wouldn't come out. I was wearing my favorite shirt. Seriously though, Smurfs = lame.

This is a collection of the 4 volumes of Devil's Due Publishing's GI Joe vs. Transformers series. Taking some conitnuity (read: one character) from their GI Joe series, but otherwise this book in entirely in its own universe, therefore nothing that happens affects the canon of either set of characters.

And let me tell you, with the characters they kill off, that's good. Very popular and famous characters (specifically Autobots) hit that Giant Junkheap In The Sky.

COBRA finds the ARK that contained the Decepticons and Autobots that has been buried on Earth for the last 5 million years. Luckily, a few Autobots were not discovered, and they and the Joes must save the day!

We also have time travelling adventures, the creation of a new Serpentor, and finally, the secret alliance between Cobra-La and Unicron!

It helps a lot if you know the mythos of both Joes and 'Formers. The writing is very good. The art is that new fangled manga/cartoonish look I don't know how they do, but it looks spectacular.

If you can find this, pick it up, it really is an excellent read!

Release Date: 12/31/1969

Girl Junk

Two of these were for girls, and the other two were boy cartoons thinly disguised. I watched Jem, but for different reasons. My sister had a She-Ra action figure when she was about 6. I secretly considered it part of my He-Man collection. Weird huh?
