Now I've always known that Cobra wasn't supposed to be taken seriously or have a good fashion sense, but jesus christ I stumbled upon this and am left with quite a few questions. Number 1 being "Was this shit offical?"the 2nd being "Who the fuck are these jerks" after that I wondered "What the hell happened to the ARBCO Textitles and child labour factories" because these costumes suck.
So would someone please explain to me who the hell the following are?
1.Balrog from Street Fighter 2, what the hell is he doing here?
2.The guy with a turtleneck and stubble beside what looks to be Mindbender. Did COBRA decide to base a guy off the joe fans who don't have ponytails and XXXL dragon shirts?
3.That Dr. Strange looking motherfucker behind Rip It
4.That butler looking motherfucker beside Raptor
5.The bone thru the nose Vulture looking dude behind Battle Armor Cobra Commander?
6.The 12 jerks in black in the third row
7. The guy beside Decimator, did Cobra go back to 1988 and hire Glenn Danzig but remove his steroids?
8.The cue ball black chick, Bam Bam Bigelow and the other white guy beside them who are all in red
9.The guy in the stupid mask with green dreads
There's a bunch more but I don't even care anymore.
As for question #3
when the hell did Tomax and Xamot become gay superheroes
why did Major Bludd get a neck brace?
Why did Ripper and Torch get updated too look even more homosexual?
What's with all the popped collars (Slice, Tomax, Xamot, Bludd have them, and Firefly and Scrap Iron have halfassed ones)
How come of all the jerks Copperhead was the only one who went unchanged?
6 comments:
1. That's Claymoore from the cartoon...or actually Collector's Club convention take on him...Balrog's head reused.
2. One of the Plague (another fanwank invention)
3. Crystal Ball...maybe.
4. Cobra's arms dealer from a non-Hama written issue #9 (which IIRC, Hama, in his grace disowned. Class act, Larry!)
5. No idea
6. Plague troopers including Munitia, Gallows, Grimskull and Grimace or whatever his name was.
7. Hannibal, a Serpentor clone.
8. Devil's Due take on the Red Shadows, which had nothing to do with Action Force's version. (So what was the freaking point?)
9. Some poor ass interpretation of Skullbuster, I think. The actual Range Viper seen is the named one from a MOTH set.
Twins: Alpha Flight #73
Bludd's brace: Special Missions #36
Torch and Ripper: 2004 and not sure
Collars: Uncreative artists/writers
Copperhead: Cuz he ain't no dweeb.
If they'd used a decent artist and stuck to established appearances of the characters, that scene would've been neat.
If they didn't listen to retarded collectors a lot of things about GI Joe would be pretty neat.
Did I see Casey Jones lurking in there, or am I crazy? And did I just miss Storm Shadow? Is he the tough guy who's like, fuck it, I'm not showing up for the group picture?
Why would an international association of villainy want an official group snapshot? I guess if you have a mask on it's okay. And if they arranged it, why do they all look so pissed to be in it?
Also, Zarr Chasm knows an awful lot for someone who comes to this blog often.
Zarr Chasm is a guy who knows things!
This image was released months ago and discussed elsewhere,though not as much as the big joe team picture. I remembered some of it from then, like the butler guy and the plague team.
