So I had a thought hello Victor and hello Core commander Cody and rip Tito Larry wants beach head. So For the most recent video, which was monster blaster I There was no file card. It's just a figure with or I'm sorry. It was just a vehicle with no figure Now I did show a file card. I showed Clutch's file card But but the clutch was not the subject of the Review so I did not Read Clutch's file card. So I just got I was thinking like I haven't looked at file cards for a little bit So the next couple of videos The main reviews will be actual Um That doesn't go there. Hold on. I got some things miss Misallocated here. Oh, I gotta fix this Let's see Yeah, yeah, I got the right here. I just gotta find me hang on. I'm fine to be Chad So my thought was I've got I've got this which is my big giant tray o file cards You know, I've got them. I've got them like Sorted by year They're sorted by year, but unfortunately, they are not otherwise sorted Hello Dale Centford and Dave sees straight from the pit. Hello. How do you do? So, yeah, I just got a fine beachhead. So I thought okay. I haven't looked at file cards for a little while and you know today I had a chance to actually Dig into a file cards. See this is I've got some 1985's in my 1986 stack. That doesn't work guys That doesn't work. Hold on. I'm gonna have to resort all of these No wonder. I can't find anything. Hello chewing bubblegum Let's hold on hold on Let me grab these and then ripcord, please. Okay Let's see This yeah, I had this this was all gonna go much smoother than this Thank You Beta Ray Bob. There's beachhead right up front. Okay So let's what I thought I'd do for for fun Z's is Do dramatic readings of file cards. So let me try to put these in order We had sneak piece a peek first, so let's let's read a sneak peek file card This is Owen King This is Stephen King Jr Wild truck rear had both the monster blaster and the og opc. Hello, Robert is airy And and cyclonus, how do you do so? Let's let's read this it says sneak peek is a legend in the ranger Rickon Battalion This they tell of one mission where he his control unit got overrun In the evening, I'm sorry in the ensuing confusion and sneak peek was never recalled He stayed put observing enemy activity taking notes and sketching maps for two weeks Altitude no problem. No problem Hold on I am I am almost certain that I have altitude Let's see So he was overrun He stayed sketching maps for two weeks until somebody remembered He was out there and sent him a signal to return. He is of course ranger qualified and proficient in all NATO night vision devices, so they they is basically Forgot to tell him to come home they just They like so did nobody notice that sneak peek was missing Well, they like they got back to the base and they're like Wasn't there a guy? Does anybody remember a guy that? That was here's I seem to remember We had a guy I know I have altitude Okay, I shouldn't say I know I'm pretty sure I have altitude I May look up altitude for you No problem. No problem. No problem. Not a problem. What? So and then we have I'm gonna have to read fast you guys are doing file cars faster than I thought Firefly version 1 Fly I was right here right here. This says Patience endurance and guts is what sneak peek has plenty of he's got the patience to creep inch by inch into enemy Territory carefully bending back every branch and twig on and his way And just as carefully replacing them. He got the he's got the endurance to sit motionless in Cramped cover for days on end waiting for the bad guys to show up and when they do he's got the guts to stick around and watch So that is sneak peek The guy everybody kind of just forgot that to tell that the mission was over. That's really nice So I've got to I've got to Zartan file cars. I'll read I'll read the first one Because this one has more text Zartan I'll try to read it in Zartan's voice Zartan gonna alter his skin color at will at will to blend in with his environment He's a mutant basically Zartan is a mutant. Hey somebody put black marker on the back of this card Have I did I notice that before? Hello heavy load and Bob's dungeon and anybody else who came in hello og or sorry yo, Joe OC and Eric Gullinger and I think I said hello to Matt, but if not hello again So he's he's a mutant. He's got mutant powers. Let's let's be truthful here Yeah, sometimes he use how uses holographic technology But but that doesn't make you alter your skin color at will. He's he's got he's got magical powers He also is a master of makeup and disguise a ventriloquist I'd like to see his dummy a linguist over 20 languages and dialects and acrobatic contortionist So he's a circus performer And a practitioner of several mystic martial arts several mystic Martial arts Which essentially he's a ninja he everybody in GI Joe is a ninja breaker is a ninja probably Very little is known about his background and origins But most security agencies agree he must have had a European military Academy training probably St. Sear psychological profile. Oh Gazz says shockwave we have we have shockwave right here. So we we've got shockwave in the queue a Psychological profile extreme paranoia. So the schizophrenic grows Into various multiple personalities To such an extent that the original personality becomes buried and forgotten the that's the the text that they excised from that and yeah Schizophrenia does not work that way. That's that's not what that is But anyway, that's that's Zartan the famous. Oh and Chad wants the 86 Cobra bat. I just happen to have that right here. I got a full card back on that one Let's move on to shockwave. This is gonna this is This is gonna be more reading than I thought but hey, this is hey Maybe next time we can do story time. So, you know, I'll do even more reading. So shockwave We've got the SWAT specialist shockwave here There's the other side of the card His name is Jason faria. Primary specialty is special weapons and tactics or SWAT Secondary military specialty is choir. So when he kicks down the door, he goes, oh He's he's from Dearborn, Michigan and is great as he for this says shockwave was the youngest member of the Detroit police Department SWAT team and the holder of two citations for bravery when he signed up for and was accepted by the Joe team When asked why he left a promising career to work longer hours for less money kicking it down doors on better armed adversaries Shockwave says what do you think I do this for the money? I do it to shoot people Everyone on a SWAT team has a specific job like in a choir Choirs have tenors, baritones, altos, etc SWAT teams have sharp shooters climbers and inside men Shockwave is the door-kicker He is he's the first inside and the first to find out how bad it really is He's also a half decent tenor when his voice is in shape. His voice is not in shape You know, it's it's all the bourbon and Cigars it you can't sing anymore. It's it's a little rough right now So we've got we've got beach head next somebody asked for beach head This is a beach head is Wayne Sneedon Primary military specialty is infantry's measure secondary message is small arms armor. He's from Auburn, Alabama Alabama sir It says a beach head was a lane instructor at the ranger school at Fort Benning and an observer slash advisor At the covert ops school in Central America. He's meticulous patient and strong-willed He likes getting up at 0500 hours to take a 10 mile run in PT in parentheses physical training session before breakfast He enjoys squatting motionless behind a jungle trail for three days straight waiting to ambush bad guys that might never show up What he hates is people who aren't interested in doing their best Qualified expert all NATO and Warsaw packs small arms This quote says most folks will get mad on occasion and get irritable not beach head He thinks anger is a waste of time and energy Rage clouds the vision and pollutes logic fury impairs judgment and makes you careless The results of anger are totally unacceptable to beach head. He doesn't get angry. He gets even even He's not mad. He will just he will just kill you. He's not angrily not not in not in anger But you know you piss him off. He'll he'll just he's not gonna get angry He's just going to shoot you and then problem solved right Let's read now the the the obrah saboteur Firefly I got this it's it's clipped off a little bit. So the firefly the obrah saboteur has also got like a Like a Kool-Aid stain on it there Unless unless that's a hey, is that a bloody fingerprint? Is that what that is that that is that a bloody fingerprint? I'm not sure So this is his codename or sorry, it's filing his flat classified. Wow, I can't it's filing his classified But in fact, we know his file name his file name is Rufus T. Firefly his numerous military specialties include sabotage demolitions and terror He does it's not he doesn't make other people terrified. He's just he's terrified. He's just he's kind of scared He's a little skittish his birthplace is also classified Killer weasel wants blizzard or bullhorn. Let me I'll find I Think do I have I think I have bullhorn And I think I have blizzard too. I'll see if I can find it here So let's see no one knows what fireflies real name is or what he looks like well if you watch GI Joe retaliation You know what he looks like No one knows okay, he's known by his work Expert in all NATO and Warsaw Pact explosives and detonators always places charges in the one place that Affords maximum damage. There is no question about his infiltration skills since no one has ever reported seeing him Enter or leave any target area Even Cobra commander doesn't know much about firefly his fees are paid into a numbered Swiss bank account and are always payable in Advance he makes no guarantees and gives no refunds gives no refunds. So he can just you give him the money it goes into an untraceable account and You know if he doesn't feel like working that day He's like, yeah, I never guaranteed anything no refunds But but presumably presumably He would have to he would have to produce some kind of results in order to in order to to Keep working right so, you know, he can't actually take too many days off and And And and not oh cloudburst. Okay, hang on. All right one. All right. Let me read some Chris from comic tropes requested altitude So let me let me I had to look up altitude because it seems I'm sure I have the car But I can't find it in my my horribly disorganized file card been here So let's see Let's do it this way Thanks for bearing with me folks And I'll get you a cloudburst as well. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. That is not what I'm looking for Gosh darn it. There we go All right, here's altitude. I Got it. I'm just gonna read it off of here. This is John Edward Jones Primary specialty is a sky patrol recon scout If the cops checkpoint is beachhead son Shouldn't his name be Wayne Arsenaid junior and not Wayne Arsenaid in the third That's a good point unless unless beachhead is the second and he just doesn't use the Doesn't use the the the numeral after his name. I don't know maybe So he's a sergeant major. He's a Californian from Cambria, California. Oh And a secondary military specialty is combat artist. He draws pretty pictures of of the war zone I used to do that when I was a kid. I just draw pictures of giant battles The people and things blowing up Okay, this says being a full-blooded Apache Indian and the son of a famous Hollywood stuntman There's a hell of a combo Altitude has a lot to live up to he certainly does Altitude was gifted with both a photographic memory and a talent for drawing after his budding artistic career in The animation industry was shortened by the collapse of syndicated cartoon programming Did that happen? Cobra viper Cobra Cobra viper Cobra viper. Hold on. I got you. I get you Cobra viper. I Get you Cobra viper Thank You guys See so apparently the syndicated comic industry collapsed and so that ruined There's the viper. Thank you guys So that ruined Homeboy's career here Bradley. How about Steeler got a good deal on Steeler? And Moab at for a hundred dollars yesterday, yeah, that's pretty good It said they're 83, but they're both 82 picks show straight arm Steeler and thumbs With thumbs and 82 Moab at with no holds in the treads. Yes, that would be 82 that hundred percent is 82 and Let me grab Steeler then This this is the tonight's gonna be like more reading file cards than I expected But but I wanted to do this. I I kind of meant their Steeler Their Steeler and thank you Bradley. Oh, yeah, and I was also looking for Let's see I have really got to organize this this is a shambles this is just shameful shame on me for being not being organized Okay, I don't want to miss anybody. So somebody said cloudburst. So let me get the cloudburst I should have written this down. Why don't I write things down eel version one eel version one? Everybody wants file cards. So let's do eels version one. So eels version one will be in here And since I'm not sure where cloudburst is. Let's do this. I'm gonna make this happen I'm gonna make it happen. Now. Where's eels? I know I've got eels because eels is one of my favorite Figures and problem. I am my favorite army build. There's eels. I found eels. Okay, so we've got that in the queue We're good Let's see Okay cloudburst I Don't know that I've ever read cloudbursts file card. This will be interesting. Let's let's check this out Let's see what we can learn about cloudburst. His name is Chuck Ram I'm pretty sure that's his porn name He is specialties aeronautics secondary specialties infantry. He's from San Diego San Diego is a very nice place. I like San Diego. Hello, Armour Magnus. Nice to see you It says not content with simply flying hang gliders cloudbursts designed and built his own working prototypes as a teenager in San Diego Later after joining the army. He was instrumental in development of Ultra stealth gliders for military recon and special troop insertion And is currently on special assignment to the GI Joe team as the in-house glider specialist Well, you need one of those you got to have hello Jeffrey ball. Thanks for joining Hello, Occam's razor And this quote says cloudburst won't settle for For almost or pretty good He is consistently updating his gliders and redesigning his flight gear to cut down on drag and radar signature He knows that his services will be called upon when all other methods or covert troop Insertion are deemed impractical and that can only happen in the the situation if the situation is Harry to the max Harry to the max I think his name should have been Harry. They should have gone with Harry So hold on hold on there was Bull somebody said okay somebody said bullhorn or We can do bullhorn. I Can't find I'm trying to do the ones that I I can't locate right now because this is like I said I've got this is what I'm pulling from and it looks it looks more organized than it is unfortunately Here's bullhorn So this is hello sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse A grunt left to become an engineer so they needed a new glider operator. That's right grunt was the first GI Joe glider operator And he went off to college or some crap like that. I don't want an education or something. I Don't know sounds kind of dumb to me, but whatever I'm just kidding education fans, you know get get an education. That's good learn to read and write that's that's important Be it be a thinker not a stinker Okay, here's here is bullhorn and all right. Let's let's read bullhorn I know bullhorn was in the queue and then we've got we've got these to go Bullhorn Final name is Steven a Ferrer Ferraria, thank you He is an intervention specialist So you need one of those hello a case on Nelson and bubble wrap memories I don't know if I said hello to you, but hello Okay, secondary especially his armor. He's from Providence, Rhode Island So it's very possible that somebody from Hasbro wrote this file card they did have a tendency to Overrepresent Rhode Island in their birthplaces When when Larry Hama wasn't writing the file cards Anyway, hello inter glass intergalactic classics and Jake and I think I already said hello to photo viper, but hello in case I didn't Okay Bullhorn is an extremely calm individual me too Possessing an open mind and compassionate personality. He's exactly the type of person needed to negotiate with wackos and Fanatics who have an axe to grind with society. I have an axe to grind with society File cut of your choice probably stalker. Okay. Thank you riptide. Oh, Larry. Yeah, let's do stalker. Why not? I read stalker's file card for Not too long ago episode of the show But I do like that file card So I'm going to grab it as soon as fine there. Okay, we got stalker in the queue Thank you riptide. Oh, Larry. Hello. Oh, I think I said hello Jamalyn Sparks, but hello in case I didn't Do bullhorn and shockwave have the same last name and we just looked at shockwave Faria so it's it's not the same. It's it's it's close. It's close. It's close to the same, but it's But both bullhorn is ferrariah and shockwave is feria feria ferrariah Close close Okay, so he's negotiating with wackos Like me because I've got an axe to grind with society Of course that same steely coolness also comes in handy when he is forced to take decisive action That requires an accurate and lethal delivery of firepower Everyone is willing to talk to bullhorn and why shouldn't they be he has the looks of a choir boy and he's a good listener This guy has more finesse than the slickest diplomat using it to convince the his adversaries that he actually cares about their problems He doesn't really care, but hey, you know what they say sincerity once you can fake that Hmm That's when they discover the folly of messing with a former hand-to-hand combat instructor From Quantico who is also a contender for the national practical pistol title Well, that that would be good to know that should be in in his And his specialties somewhere. Oh, I pull I pulled major blood because he's in the wrong spot I Honestly did think that was a little more organized than it was. All right, so I'm right. Where are we now? Salker is kind of in the back. I'm gonna try to get back in order. Oh the cobra bats All right, somebody we have the cobra bats. Let's read the cobra bats. I have the full file card Thank you bubble wrap to memories honored be the KB on your patreon. So I thank you KB I Appreciate you letting me know that you are KB. So thank you. Thank you for that. It's nice to put it's nice to connect the the initials with the with the The online handle, but I think you had mentioned that before but thank you. Thank you very much Late to this party, but I'm loving being here. I'm loving having you here. Thank you fake sincerity is how you Many men stay married. That's yeah, that's yeah, that's true Okay Bullhorn now owns a huge used car's car lot. He'd probably be good at that too. Let's There there are there are some professions where fake sincerity will get you for There are other professions where being a robot is essential Copperhead copperhead cool. Thank you MC DJ ACDC. Let me grab copperhead while I am Reading the Cobra bats the battle Android. That's some interesting artwork Isn't that that elbow right there? That elbow is that is that an awfully human looking elbow? not very robot like Okay, Cobra Android trooper bats are the perfect Cobra troopers. They never question orders Complain about the chow sharp duty or surrender They require no leave time no sick pay Or benefits of any kind and they are cheap and easy to replace That is probably the most unrealistic thing about the The bats The robot this sophisticated would be ridiculously expensive and not easy to replace. Oh Yeah, I'm looking in the wrong year. Good grief Do I even know anything about GI Joe? I'm looking for copperhead in the wrong year I've heard of GI Joe. What is this GI Joe thing that I've heard about? I don't know. I don't know Okay, so yeah, but they don't need anything they've got to be oiled if you don't oil them They freeze up like the 10 man, so either they need oil can On their own hands bats do not react well to changes in field conditions, nor do they discriminate between targets They will shoot at anything that moves be it friend foe or animal Then they have to shoot at the animals. That's rude They also have an unfortunate tendency to burst into flame when hit from behind. That's I I believe that's a reference to the Ford Pinto that's the quote says Bats are dangerous to everyone. They'll shoot bayonet or take anything in sight Cobra infrared infantrymen don't like to be on the same battlefield with bats when a cobra unit is losing a battle They will dispense bats into the midst of the firefight in order to evade the Evacuate I'm sorry evacuate the area easily. That is the cobra bats the cobra bats now that is a file card on a robot. It's a profile on Something that has no personality More like tech specs There's copper. I found him. I found copperhead. I found copperhead All right, so I know I could do it I knew like if I if I kept trying long enough I would eventually that just through process of elimination find oh Tomax and Zemot. Okay, cool I'm gonna grab Tomax and Zemot and then we are going to read The cobra eels wow that there there we go the cobra eels one of my my favorite army builders and Let me hold on. I just I thought I just saw Tomax is a month. So let me find him real quick There it is It's a two-fer It's it's one of the rare Multiple characters on the same file card. How about that not the only one though Those like 1993 mail away sets like the the Arctic commandos and the international action force That also had multiple characters on the same file card So, okay, so these are the ones that we got These are the ones that we still have yet to read so Let's let's do that And Next up is the cobra frog man the codename eels and you'll notice that I think I think it was in Starting in 1986 that they started putting the codename in the bold letters And in the specialty in the smaller type But by 1985 they were still doing the specialty in the bold and the codename underneath it So what do we know about? Okay The eels file name is classified actually it's multiple file names. It's it this is it should say file name various Hello Wilkinson studios and bad ape. Thank you for joining And Tim won hello My buddy and I always use the bat file card as absolute war and if they And if one was shot in the back it would burst into flame It would not be used again during that play session. Yeah, cuz it you know It's got that like that fuel tank that you know you hit it a certain way and it it it explodes That that's what yeah, so I think it implies doesn't it that the cobra bat is run by an internal Combustion engine it's got like a car engine in there Maybe like a it's too small to be a car engine. It's like um It's probably like a Lawnmower engine. Yeah, that's it the cobra bat is run by a lawnmower engine That's what all those parts are that you can see through the window. Hello uberolk nice to see you. Thank you for joining us and joining us Yes, so Wilkinson, I really like the cobra eel. It's one of my favorites Okay primary specialty underwater demolitions secondaries specialty marine engineering birthplace various see birthplace is various countries and file name should be various Various file names. Do you have either the bio viper monster viper mega viper or cyber viper? I do not have those I do not have those I would be happy to look them up and read them if you wanted to but I don't possess those actual file cards at this time It is a gap in the collection that I hope to fill sometime in the near future Robocop versus cobra bats. Absolutely. Okay, where we we got Eels are the underwater demolition specialists of the cobra legions They man and operate the cobra marine outposts disguised as offshore drilling rigs and augment the crews of larger cobra naval vessels Eels undergo a rigorous two-part training program in the In the warm shark and pirate infested waters of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean and in the frigid dark depths of the North Atlantic Their training regimen includes marines structural engineering explosive ordinance underwater Fighting techniques and marine geology. That's pretty good skill set. That's pretty good skill set. It's not bad Laura says are you hoping for another live-action GI Joe movie? I am it would be nice if they did one that was successful I I would still like to see GI Joe succeed in you know the broader culture There have been multiple attempts now. None of them have quite Hit like we wanted them to I Would like for them to keep trying I would But but again hey hasbro Just give me call give me a call or an email my email is out there.

I have Like this big file tray full of them Um And I don't know exactly how much that is this file tray a law and order cool This file tray I found like at a resale shop. It's like this steel thing It's it's really heavy and heavy duty like you could drop it off the top of a building and it would it would survive and it's just the right size to keep both the cut file cards and The full card backs so that's why I thought it would really be handy for for file cards Is because I can I can keep all my file cards in there including the full card backs Where's law and order? Come on. Oh For Pete's sake. Is this another one that I've miss filed. I Have a real problem with that. I probably put it in the wrong year Oh, no, it's right there. Duh There we go.

He put himself through college on ROTC scholarship And work what work as a heavy equipment operator familiar with and proficient with all NATO Warsaw Pact AFVs armored fighting vehicles graduated armor school top-of-class special training Cadre X AFB project Artillery school AFB, you know, they don't actually say what AFB stands for here that That would that would be helpful AFB desert exercise covert ops school qualified expert M16 in 1911 a1 Mac 10 and Uzi and the very short very brief quote that it has on here is Young restless. He's the young and the restless. So he's into soap operas Often clashes with authority Superior in parentheses superior officers, but he's one tough soldier. That's really what you want in your soldier is Is somebody who clashes with authority the armed services? That's that's cool, right? You know, they they encourage, you know dissent and discussion and yeah Yes, that's true MCDJ CDC Joe Burke is also very close to 10,000 subscribers and I Yes, and comic tropes. Yes. I technically I think I would be The most subscribed GI Joe focus channel if I hit 16,000 subscribers Hello, Joe fan 84 for a second. I thought you were Joe fan 82 Who we haven't seen for a little while But that's okay. I'm still happy to have you here Joe fan 84 and if Joe fan 82 decides to show up He would we'd be happy to have him here as well Do I have a wild bill as the locust chopper pilot? I think he would make sense as a pilot I don't think there was a wild bill figure that came out the same year I think there was a wild bill figure that came out the following year But in the comic book, I'm pretty sure they had wild bill piloted. So we're we're on to the Viper now the famous Cobra Viper who has both a visor and goggles I You know, I can't not point that out, right? That's that's just something that oh air devil Do I have air devil? Hold on? I gotta check to see if I have air devil. Hold on. Oh wait, um, I Write it down. Hold on air devil Let's let me get through this and thank you killer weasel much appreciated This Viper Cobra infantry Vipers are the backbone of the Cobra legions. They are highly motivated superbly trained and formidably equipped They can't hit the broad side of a barn though their their aim has not improved That's the one thing. They're not highly trained in All vipers are issued a combination assault rifle grenade launcher The rifle part of which can function as a short burst assault rifle a sustained fire cover support weapon Or a long-range sniper rifle with an advanced light intensification night vision telescopic sight with a built-in range fighter and It slices it dices it makes Julianne fries multi-layer body armor and wrap around acrylic composite helmets will built-in RTO gear Standard issue. So this paragraph is almost entirely about the equipment Victor says he has the armor bot in the collection. That's awesome. I have an incomplete armor bots That is one that I keep looking at to complete eventually But I haven't quite pulled the trigger on that Yeah, that's okay, but we're still we're very happy to have you here Joe fan 82 you don't have to be Joe Fan 84 see I did I did the thing thank you for being here Joe fan 84 You do not have to be Joe fan 82 you just have to be yourself. Just just be yourself. We're happy to have you Okay, so we got one more paragraph for the vipers this says If you want to get anywhere in cobra, you have to start out as a viper That's the bottom of the pyramid and so cobra is a pyramid scheme So this is this is how you get started Crimson guardian mortal. I'm pretty sure I do have that Let's see that crimson guard immortal Oh, it's right there. Yeah. Yeah crimson guard immortal. I got it. All right, and thank you Vdub Also have the plans to go buy in a review any of the valorous action figures if That is something that I've been asked about a couple of times. I would like to But I have my budget is such that I have to Be very selective at what I get right now So hopefully that'll change in the future and I can get more stuff. I did I did. Oh, it's right here. I did Look at the the sergeant slaughter Which I have the lights kind of glaring with I did sergeant slaughter if I do anymore It'll have to be you know, I'll have to see what fits in the budget Yeah, okay. Yeah cobra's a pyramid scheme cobra infantry a small price to pay to gain access to the glittering Prizes at the top the glittering prizes like a brand new car Hello JLS comics nice to see you. Thank you for joining See cobra doesn't reward success with parades and metals they offer material wells power and an outlet for the terrible urges The the sinister sexual urges I'm taking it that drives the greedy envious and the cruel If that doesn't make a cobra viper a dangerous opponent nothing does so To be a viper you have to be a pervert So, you know, that gives you some idea of what kind of organization cobra is right there That's I disapprove of that kind of thing. I wag my finger. Okay, we're up to we're up to stalker We're up to stalker. Hello Arthur Fisher Let's let's look at stalker Laura Lorenzo Wilkinson Primary specialty is infantry secondary specialty is interpreter A skill that he did not use very much in in the comic book series or elsewhere He's from Detroit So, yeah, probably lion's fan. Hey, maybe that's why he left. It's not because of the Street gangs. He was just ashamed of the lions and he had he wanted to get out of town join the army see the world Hello United States Navy Roblox. Thank you for joining and raise on her What gang was he from he was he was from the get along gang Anybody remember the get along gang? That was that was what he was the Surprised that despite the name the get along game is much more vicious than you would expect Stalker was a warlord of a large urban street gang prior to enlistment fluent in Spanish Arabic French and Swahili Which he picked up in the get along gang Very rigorous Recruitment requirements for that gang Graduated top of class basic combat training advanced infantry training top of class Special training US Army language school intelligence school qualified expert m14 m16 m 1911 a1 autopistol m3 3a1 grease gun m32 pulverizer submachine gun This paragraph here It says Functions well under high stress situation Situations intelligent perceptives moves like some sort of jungle cats silent fast strong Like what wasn't that buffering? So he's He'll also cure your headaches. Hello bad. Ape. I don't know if I think I said hello to bad a but hello again Did you review? Did a review on barricade introduced Captain power? I remember seeing it when I was little but didn't know what it was I now have a captain power and pilot figures. I tell you what um, I Really shouldn't be collecting anything Outside of GI Joe right now just for budgetary reasons. I've been awfully tempted though to get some more captain power That is a very intriguing set of Toys that's a very intriguing line is the captain power Well, like I said, I should let's look at copperhead the often forgotten copperhead People forget about him and a guy like dressed like that. How can you forget about a guy like that? Okay, we've got it says a file name classified file name is classified his birthplace is unknown His primary military special. It doesn't say primary military special. He's only got one military specialty And that is air driver swam vehicle operator so Very specific he can drive the boat. That's all he can do. That's all he knows how to do And this says it is presumed that copperhead is native or otherwise Intimately familiar with the Florida Everglades intelligence sources venture a guess that he raced speedboats in high-stakes races in Monaco and Japan his major weakness is Gambling odds are that he got started by placing bets on his own races Apparently he Compounded his folly by selling his services to Cobra in hopes of paying off his bookies He bet on his own races and then and then law did he bet that he would win and then he lost He's an idiot Now hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on. Wait. No worse. All right, this guy We think that he's not super bright. Did he bet that he would lose and then he's still won I'll bet that's what happened. I'll bet that's what happened Copperhead, I think I think your helmet is on a little too tight loose it loosen that helmet Yeah, I'm here. Oh And I think pad warmer said something about I missed it, but I Something about copperhead and while we still being army builders You could definitely use them as army builders once one more time. Let's get what's on Joe mine I thank you Josiah. I guess what's on Joe mine over the 1,000 goal with subscribers and check out the Friday live stream Absolutely. I am a big fan of what's on Joe mind. I think it's a great show It's been a great show for a long time if you want a lot of gi Joe history Check out what's on Joe mine? Check out their back catalog, which is huge and goes back more than 10 years now and Check out their live stream every Friday. I never miss it. So thank you Josiah I am subscribed and I hope that they can get over the 1,000 mark very soon Okay, this says gung ho says Sure, I know the types. They're all around the Gulf Coast trash drifters. That's rude They can drive a swamp buggy like the devil himself rebuild a v8 with a coat hanger and spit fight all night and raise Cain to the cock crows and they got a heart full of gimme and a mouthful of much obliged so Yeah, we think that Copperhead is not the brightest and and I'm I'm adding this Okay, I'm adding this to camp. This is gonna be in my movie. All right when Hasbro calls for me to write the next gi Joe movie one of the plot one of the the the B plot is gonna be about Copperhead Placing bets on his own races But he bets that he's going to lose and then wins anyway because he's an idiot Okay, we are up to We are up to the Crimson Guard commanders Tomax and Zemot Tomax and Zemot There we go. This is I just This file card always kind of fascinated me just because it's it's a two-fer and I think this is the yeah, this is the first time they did a two-fer Anyone asked for version one snow serpent yet? No, not. Well, thank you Matt. Thank you. Let me grab snow So very real quick. I Got a little bit of a story about snow serpents that I did not include in the review Where are you snow? Well, I'm looking at the again. I'm looking in the wrong here should grief Come on snow serpents I'll look I'll read Crimson Guard as I'm looking for snow serpents It's a file names are classified But their file names are co max and they mocked there. Okay. I found I found snow serpents That's like yeah, that's one of them despite them being brothers one of their last name is Max and the other's last name is Mott I Don't know how that works. I have to check their birth certificate Specialty infiltration espionage sabotage propaganda and corporate law look I've taken a corporate law course and You probably do have to be pretty evil to have that as as a specialty it says and a Birthplace an island in the Mediterranean. I think we We determined that this was referring to Corsica is my recollection There was a movie where Chesapeake Chevy Chase was a gambling Doctor who said he lost on a bet on who would win Rocky III No That's that is funny. That's a that's good Chevy Chase. He's done a couple of good things So, alright, this okay, this first paragraph is mostly about the gimmick, right spell out the names Tomak Spell at the name Tomax and capitals and hold it to a mirror. It reads Zemot Which conversely also works if you do that with Zemot the same holds true for the actual brothers Each is a mirror image It's an H is a mirror image of the other except for a scar on Zemot's face Both excuse me. Both twins served with the Forad legion Paris in Algeria before the officer's push. They honed their mercenary Mercenary skills in the bush wars of Africa and South America. They were too smart to be soldiers forever Went to Zurich and became a bankers Hello, Kujo. How you doing and hello Ivan? And thanks for joining and anybody else who snuck in hello Robert Long. I already said hello GLS comics, but hello again Corporate laser artillery weapon. Yes that that kind of corporate law. Yes. Thank you Spies like us and three amigos. Yeah those classics, you know the classics spies like us the three amigos You know the the the great Hollywood films This paragraph this is long They quickly found the ins and outs of the international finance of international finance to be too haphazard for their tastes They preferred the situation they could control Cobra was willing to give them access to that control now. They command legions But they're legions wear three-piece suits and fight their battles in executive boardrooms These then are the most fearsome of the Cobra adversaries They don't fight with steel and claw back with muscle and honest sweat now on I'm talking about honest sweat Sometimes they have dishonest sweat But not honest sweat They chase you with paper wound you with your own laws and kill you with the money you loaned them So yes, they they're the the financiers of Cobra With with dishonest sweat I'm just gonna call that the I'm gonna call it what it is that sweat is dishonest not honest sweat Okay, I believe we are up to if I do this in order. Oh wait somebody asked for air devil and I don't think I well I may have air devil. Oh, I think I have air devil's file card with the figure Okay, but it's that's over there. So I'm just gonna I'm looking at oh and somebody okay. I see I'm getting out of turn Somebody asked for Star Brigade Cobra commander and I have not done that one yet So Star Brigade Cobra commander has a file card. It's like the the baseball card size file cards the ones that came out with in in 1994 So this one's a relatively short one. Unfortunately, it is also in hot pink whoof Supreme commander of the Cobra legions Cobra commander is the ultimate enemy of GI Joe, although no one knows his true identity His true identity is Chevy Chase It's common knowledge that he's the most diabolical villain imaginable because he has Failed so far in his plans to take over the earth Thanks to of course to the courage skill and firepower of GI Joe forces Cobra commander is heading into space To set up battle stations on the moon and strengthen his troops GI Joe's Star Brigade must stop him before he gains power or risk destruction of earth space and the entire human race So he cannot conquer earth. So he's going to the moon He's gonna set up a base on the moon He's gonna live there and he's gonna be like glaring at us. He's gonna be glaring at the earth. He's like You should have given in see what happened now. I'm on the moon That's That's that's yeah, that's real. Oh, yeah, air devil. Hold on. Let me do air devil and then I think the next one is is law Yeah, the fridge the fridge file card I I thought it would have been really cool if somehow the fridge Could have come to Joe con or Joe Fest. I think that would have been great, but unfortunately the fridge is not Raise your two four with a three four for the renegades. I have the renegades Right here and thank you the killer weasel. Yeah, there it is. Okay. I'm putting the renegades in in there I know it's eight o'clock, but like I've got more file cards to go through. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go through these Um Before we before we wrap up. All right, here's air devil. Let's read air devil. Somebody asked for that Okay Cobra air devil air devil. I can't talk I can't say it, but I'll try to read it Cobra air devil Acrobatic aerial assault trooper This is one of those file cards that has like the quote at the top It says never fight in the open when you can ambush from cover never ambush from cover when you can set a well-hidden Explosive booby trap. It's good. Actually, that's that's wise. That's smart Air devil is smart This paragraph says Cobra air devils are the front line stealth assault air commandos of the Cobra lesions highly trained in unorthodox combat styles unorthodox combat styles like rock paper scissors And plain dirty fighting, you know kicking you in the nuts That they train on that every day kicking you in the nuts their mission is to Penetrate deep in behind GI Joe lines to wreak havoc amid the support units and supply lines lightly armed To save weight and increase their gliding range air devils are expected to procure heavier weapons and ammunition From anybody they can sneak up behind and overcome these guys receive a cursory three-day glider training course Just enough to enable them to get to their targets. So they're not well like oh just because you love Cobra la la la la la Cobra la la la la la La la la la. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Okay. I got you and don't worry. I like I haven't forgot about About the snow serpent So, yeah, that's the kind of disposable which is too bad because their quote there was pretty smart I I don't disagree with their quote. Let's read law. Let's let's read law. You ready for law law So this is law and order It says that law's file name is Christopher M. Levine it doesn't say what orders real name is. I guess orders real name is order Oh Cool, that's that's cool Ivan. That's good to know Okay, this says law and order Walked a beat in Houston's fifth ward for two years before law decided there must be a more fulfilling way to be a cop So he and his canine order enlisted for the MPs law is a trained dog handler with a national affinity for animals He is also airborne qualified. So they let you bring your own dog. That's new. I didn't I didn't know that I didn't know that Yes, a judge dread. Thank you for notice for recognizing the judge dread impression that's Well, at least somebody recognized it that's that man. That's a weird movie that judge dread movie that's the lone judge dread that that was something All right, we're continuing on with law I'll try to I'll try to show you the The beautiful card art there The law or order just coming right at you there It says MPs are responsible for the security of an installation. They may sound That may sound like a cushy job If all they are guarding is a garrison full of clerks cooks and accountants But it's another matter altogether when they're acting as the defensive line for an elite unit like the joes The bad guys are going to send in their the best they have and that's not good enough to get past law and order You don't want to mess with him and his that dog of his Chew your leg right off. He will after that you'll still have to deal with the dog. So yeah Law will chew your leg off and then order will chew your other leg off So, uh, yeah, so his job would be easy if he only were guarding like a base full of clerks But since he's guarding Uh an elite military unit Like gi joe, you know how helpless they are So they've got to have somebody good to you know patrol and whatnot um Joe fence says the newer dread movie wasn't that bad. I've heard that but I haven't actually seen it yet Um miss shaco. Thanks for your video. Uh, I can't think of a Cobra law now without also thinking about those special beads for adults. Yes, that's uh Well, we'll keep we'll keep that on the download, but yeah, I get you I get you I get you I get you um, so we're I think we were at we were at hardball. So let's let's read hardball Yeah, just you know just before the super bowl. Let's read a baseball themed uh file card. So um Codename hardball multi shot grenadier real name is wilmer dougalby Primary military specialty infantry secondary military specialty special services His birthplace is cooperstown, uh new york. That's uh, that's where the baseball hall of fame is right in cooperstown Uh, the the first paragraph says after five years of playing center field in the minor leagues Hardball came to the realization that the big league salts just weren't interested in athletic prowess Who's interested in athletic prowess? He was just too good Um, uh, the joe team was more interested in team players than in stars. Oh, yeah, sorry. They wanted star quality. Yeah, well, you know Uh athletic prowess is one way to get star quality, but you know, whatever he's he's not bitter He's not bitter and that's the important thing. So the joes wanted team players Uh, they had a real need, uh for a guy who could judge distances accurately and react quickly with deliberation Grenade launchers are fitted with adjustable, uh, graduated sites Calibrated in 25 meter increments in a fireflight. Nobody wants to start Readjusting sites, especially the blooper man the blooper man. Why couldn't his name have been the blooper man? All right new codename suggestion for hardball blooper man That's gonna be in my movie That that's that's gonna be in the gi joe movie that I write. It's it's gonna be In fact, that'll be the subtitle. It'll be gi joe blooper man Um, let's see, uh, the blooper man, uh, hardball can drop a 40 millimeter frag into a bucket from 75 meters Simply by eyeballing it the man's a natural Who isn't that movie the natural was that uh, robert redford am I misremembering that? Um, anyway, so that yeah, there's hardball the goat There you go. So there there's hardball next is Um, our our friends here our friend the the crimson guard immortal The blooper man sound see somebody else thinks the blooper man sounds good I I think I think this is genius. This is this is box office gold has bro Let's get let's get it going um, okay All right, so crimson guard immortal. Let me this one's got the file the actually no this This does not have the flag point cut out somebody cut out the the barcode What to cut out the barcode for but not the flag point like okay, so you want the barcode That's that's cool. So you cut that out. But why not also cut out the flag point So you want the barcode but not the flag point? I don't know. I don't know Um, but anyway, there's there's the artwork. There's the artwork Um, joe fan says got a hardball in uh, his rpv. I think he was on the box art for the rpv wasn't he? Who else had a baseball uniform? I don't recall right off several characters had football uniforms Okay, so crimson guard immortal cobra elite trooper trooper Uh vehicle proficiency cobra grade eight whatever that means Hey, you can kind of here. I think you can kind of like there's a window cut in so you can kind of see my See my face here Okay, uh, we're okay. Where was I? Uh cobra crimson guard immortals are fanatical super soldiers who swear fearsome A fearsome oath of absolute obedience to cobra commander Advanced weapons systems marksmen and martial arts experts. They are the most formidable fighters of the cobra legions a cg cg When not serving as a personal bodyguard for the head snake Is involved in covert operations around the country under deep cover Assuming the apparently normal occupation and apparently normal occupation and frequently running for public office Uh, thank you bubble wrap memories. Sorry stepped away for a beer run. I missed uh, this one. Can you read? Uh, both of the zartan carts. Yeah, I I got I got the zartan cards. We'll go over zartan again. I got Actually, there's really only I need to read one Because like this one is the same as this one. It's just missing a piece. So effectively if I read this one It's like reading both Um, so I'll put I'll put that back in the rotation. Uh, we will read zartan again Uh to finish out the crimson guard of mortals. This says the immortals are lawyers or accountants who pump iron And lord knows regular lawyers and accountants never pump iron I I I never I never lift anything more heavy than my cell phone anything heavier than that. It's it's a no go Uh, see uh and carry big guns what they can't uh get by stomping and shooting they get by suing and auditing So, yeah, once again Some white collar criminals with the crimson guard immortals and let's move on to The uh the snow serpent. I'm not trying to get through all these before we finish. I know we're we're over time But I'm gonna I'm just gonna keep going. I'm gonna keep going And but I appreciate all of the super chats Even if you cannot do a super chat, I still appreciate uh you being here and I'm happy to have you here Um for those who are unaware I am doing this channel as my primary income right now. So Um all of the help help that you can give uh is important But if you cannot help in any uh specific way Just watching the videos and just being here That is is sufficient and I'm really glad to have you here So thank you to everyone. It is time to read The snow serpent file card. So are you ready for this? You ready for this? Cobra polar assault code name snow serpent file name classified that should be file name various but whatever Primary military specialty arctic operation secondary military specialty infantry birthplace various countries again. Yeah, that's that's correct Very it probably came from all around the world various countries Um bubble wrap memories says snow serpent was my favorite. Yeah, snow serpent is really good Not necessarily my favorite but really high up there as far as cobra troopers though the snow serpent And it's a really great figure too. Oh, yeah, I had a story about the snow serpents I'll tell the story about the snow serpents after I read the card. Okay Snow serpents are the arctic specialist branch of the eels. So you have to be a cobra eel first To become a snow serpent They must undergo the same rigorous training Uh program as the eels with the addition of a six month cold weather course Somewhere in the arctic circle just anywhere in the arctic circle Other aspects of their training include airborne operations under arctic conditions Anti-tank procedures and the same. I'm sorry and the use of snowshoes skis and kayaks All right, so yeah snow stuff If the eels are the elite of cobra's naval branch, the snow serpents are the best of the best They're the best of the best of the best The cream of the crop if you will Uh, how else could you characterize an individual who would parachute into an ice flow in subzero temperatures And then be prepared to march 50 miles with full field pack assault rifle and anti-tank weapon Okay, so quick story about the snow serpents A few years ago There was a gi joe collector Who was hoarding snow serpents? Like literally hoarding them and he apparently collected like thousands of them Um, the purpose for doing this is not entirely clear Um, he posted on uh on the yojo.com forum about his, um his hoarding of snow serpents And for a while, I don't think it's true now, but for a while if you were to go on ebay, for example Um, and look at any auction for a snow serpent And look at like the top bidder it would be the same guy That's the top bidder on every Uh ebay auction for a snow serpent the guy was buying them by the thousands Apparently he had the disposable income to buy thousands of snow serpents I don't think that's true now. I don't think this person is still doing it, but That is a thing that happened Um, and I don't know what he did with them. I don't know what you do with thousands of snow serpents Um But uh, yes, so if you were wanting a snow serpent You had to outbid this guy right on ebay or you already like get a buy it now and like snag it But he wasn't only doing that on ebay. He said that he had people like out at the toy shops No buying snow serpents there too. I don't know that's You know, that's that's it's extreme army building Um Yes, uh a file name classified. Um, yes, they're not one character. Uh, but like But for instance, let's let me find an example here actually I got Uh, let's see So like there are other ways that you can do that though. For instance, like the this Cobra officer has like file name unknown So there are different ways that you can kind of denote That uh, that you're talking about you're not talking about an individual here. Hello, john carling. Uh, thanks for showing up. Um Uh Great artist john carling does excellent artwork. Nice to see you there So we've got a three first somebody asked for a three for And I think I think this is it. So I I've got three here I've got three here and I think and and then uh, I'm rereading the zartan file card And I think that's going to be it because it is A few minutes after eight and and I'm getting tired and my voice is going to give out. So So I'm going to cut it off here And we're going to read these and and then we will um Then we will call an eye a night, but I will say my deepest thanks to everyone who participated This has been more fun than I expected. Uh, we have we have explored the file cards So this is this is the sergeant slaughter's renegades Uh, and it's three file cards on one Card back So I will go through all these. Um, I it's been a really long time since I've read these file cards So it'll be like it'll be like new it'll be like new Uh, so the first one is mercer Mercer there there's There's the artwork on the front. So the first one is mercer file name is felix p statin Uh primary specialty small arms armorer He doesn't have a secondary specialty Apparently birthplace is spencer west virginia His uh great and actually says pay grade here is e five That's that's a little different Um, okay first paragraph there's and it's three paragraphs. Good grief. Okay um I haven't checked out the toy museum in brance in missouri yet not yet Actually, but thank you for mentioning that I I would like to do a bit more traveling and hit a couple toy museums I did go to the one that was in poll that's in poll's valley in oklahoma But I know there are other toy museums. I would like to check out. Thank you for reminding me of that Okay, so reading mercer's file card. I'll try to I'm trying to do this so you can see the The artwork as I'm reading here Uh, the renegades don't answer to anyone but themselves You know in true military fashion, right? Uh, they don't officially exist. They can function with very little restraint, but if uh, they are Compromised they are on their own Mercer was the only cobra viper that ever defected to the joes and survived Do the joes kill all vipers that defective is that are they revealing a like g i joe war crimes here? What the what the hades is going on here? Um, he uh had joined cobra for the adventure and the promise of material gain But soon grew dissatisfied with the cobra philosophy He escaped cobra island by hot wiring a hydrofoil and outrunning his pursuers across the gulf of mexico Mercer is proficient with all cobra small arms and explosive devices This quote says mercer found his true home with the renegades He gets three meals a day a warm place to sleep and a chance to shoot cobras. Well You get two of those three things things in jail, right? If you go to jail You will at least get you know food and shelter. So, you know You don't get the chance to shoot cobras. They frown on that. That's that's not allowed, but you know um, so this is Much has been said about mercer He's a defector From cobra And that's good. You want you want people to if you you'd rather the enemy just give up, right? You you'd rather the enemy just just quit, you know surrender I'll be on your side now. That's fine. The problem is You can't make him part of your team though. You can't like yeah, that's good that he's not cobra anymore But but do you want this former cobra guy who says he's he's changed his mind to now be on your team? And this guy's supposed to have your back. I don't know. I would question that I would question that Well, let's go ahead and read torus torus is a completely, you know reasonable looking person here with a Uh, a completely sane beard Uh, his name is uh Beruzion I can't read that that's not even that's not even a word. That is a collection of random letters That that's that that's lying About that guy's name. They did that's a typo All right, so final name is a typo primaries specialty is demolitions birthplaces istanbul pay grade is e5 This says renegades aren't i'm sorry. That's supposed to show the artwork Renegades aren't carried on the rosters of any existing military unit. They there is no computer access to the dossiers And they are paid through a special fund earmarked for pentagon pest control. Is this like a This is like the iran contra deal all over again, isn't this this is probably something that is probably a crime But let's let's move on. So we've hinted at multiple gi joe criminal offenses here, but maybe maybe this is Maybe they will be redeemed here. Let's go Um Let's see this gives the renegades the freedom of operation that the joes can't match It also means the government can deny anything if they're caught um, yes, that's Make sure you lie to congress about that too if if any if congress calls any hearings just just deny deny deny Uh next paragraph torus was a circus acrobat in europe who did occasional undercover work for interpaw Of course, you know as you do Uh his circus act involved breaking two by fours on his own face So that's that's why he looks like that. Okay. Good to know Uh A feat which so impressed the gi joe top brass. He was recruited on the spot Taurus has been cross-training explosives mountaineering and his fluent in a dozen languages So somebody in gi joe top brass just happened to be at the circus Saw this guy break a board with his face And it's like we need that guy He needs to be on the team they they recruited him right on the spot like sir Have you given a thought about your future? Have you considered enlisting in the united states army? That's that's wild man. What does this say? Uh, he's an animal Um, he plays the drums. That's just what that means. He plays the drums. He's an animal He stops hockey pucks with his forehead and opens bottles with his nostrils Lucky for us. He does everything the gi joe hq tells him opens bottles with his nostrils That is a hell of a party trick. All right, so um So anybody out there wants to try that i'm not going to try it But I would like for somebody out there that's watching this Open a bottle cap with your nostrils Make sure you get that get a video of that with your with your phone your phone camera Send that to me. I'll share it everywhere because if you can Open a bottle with your nostrils. You are special That is Something. Oh, we don't we forgot one. We forgot one. Oh, no, no, no, no I got so overwhelmed with the bottle nostril that I forgot. I forgot to read red dog. Let's let's let's not forget red dog here All right, so red dog uh file name David Tapu tapu it's tapu tapu. Yes, that's it Uh primary specialty infantry, uh birthplace pago pago samoa. So he is american samoan Which makes sense that he is wearing a football uniform um because american football is actually quite popular in american samoa and Several nfl players have come from there Where are we uh renegade the renegades have no official status. So basically, okay We've this is the third time we've heard that the renegades have no official status Their movements and activities are virtually unrestricted. They can do anything they want Including the bad things They don't get any credit when they succeed and everybody denies Knowing anything about them when they fail when they fail. I mean they we presume they will fail. They are nuts after all Uh, this says a red dog could have had a pro football career as a barefoot place kicker in a oh, uh, if a defensive lineman hadn't ground his cleats into Uh, the big samoans, uh Obtruding toe Oh, it's okay. Hold on So, all right Hold on time out time. All right. I'm calling time out. That's a 30 second time out. So there was this phenomenon I believe it started in the 80s and carried over to the 90s a little bit of the barefoot kicker in football It was really weird And nobody does it anymore And i'm pretty sure there's absolutely no advantage to kicking barefoot, but for a while for some reason kickers insisted even in the snow right even in a snow game Is like, you know what would make me kick even better That is if my foot, uh Felt like it was on fire and exploding as soon as it touched the ball. That is the that's the edge that I need um Yeah, made quick kick wear shoes and it's signed right up. Yeah Uh, okay. Where are we? Yeah, so he's a barefoot place kicker for some damn reason Uh, the lineman ended up with a broken helmet and a concussion Not from red dog. That was just He you know, that's just the game Uh, he later worked okay red dog was suspended for excessive roughness Uh, he later worked briefly as a stuntman in b movies until he was recruited by a gi joe command. All right One okay since this is talking about football. I will also add that there there is not A a place kicker alive Who is going to successfully? Uh beat up a defensive lineman. That's just not happening. Sorry Let's move on the other renegades think that red dog is a handy gun to have along on missions They encounter any obstacle of any kind barricade tank trap or uh phalanx of armed guards They simply point red dog in the appropriate direction let him go and wait for the dust to settle There you go red dog completely reasonable file card. Nothing weird about that at all so we are down to uh Cobra law and the reread of Of zartan so cobra law um Galobulus I will read this in the voice of mickey from uh from rocky Ed Descended from the serpent kings of prehistory Galobulus rules over cobra law a secret Valley in the limelay is where high the high priests of the biomechanical cult have Created a technological based so technology based solely on living organisms rock Living organisms rocky The buildings of cobra law really uh, what? All are are really colonies of crustaceans and the clothes of inhabitants are as alive as the people who wear them cobra law has Achieved immortality through symbiosis. I don't think mickey could say the word symbiosis. I'm sorry. That's that would be a tough one At the cost of his humanity the cost of his humanity rock You became a leg breaker for that two-bit long shock Uh, this paragraph unfortunately says The plates of uh, Galobulus's body armor are living mutations of lobsters and crabs imagine if you're um imagine if like Your your pants were alive That's what they're saying the clothes They specifically said the clothes of the cobra laws are are alive so You don't have to put on your pants. You just stand there and your pants crawl on you You train you train your pants. You train your pants to put to put themselves on So yeah, like so your average cobra law guy does not put his pants on one leg at a time like everyone else His pants just kind of Crawl on him Just picture that imagine that What the hell am I talking about here? The plates of Galobulus's body armor are living mutations of lobsters and crabs Each genetically altered to perform a specific function and bred for the tensile strength strength of their chitinous shells and to taste really good with lemon and butter Over the centuries so much of Galobulus's body parts have been replaced or biomechanically Altered that very little of the original is left except for his brain And his central nervous system And a really long tail Cobra la la la la la la la nemesis enforcer Man a few words They say in cobra law that Galobulus raised the nemesis enforcer from a pile of dead things That was and that where his soul should be there is nothing but emptiness His leather and wings have beat across the night skies since before the ice age As he tirelessly carried out the dark will of his master and creator Bleeding glimpses of his sinister form gave rise to the legends of vampires Harpies and countless other things that go bump in the night. It's very poetic very poetic. Yeah. Yeah It's not bad. That's that's well written at least it doesn't make a look of sense, but it's well written at least Uh next paragraph he can glide silently and land without a sound He is the other presence in the pitch black room He is the lurker in the dark just outside your bedroom window He rattles the garbage cans and makes your floors creak He is the dread that stands behind you in the dark and dares you to turn and pace him He's a real jerk for making a lot of noise at night when you're trying to sleep He's out there rattling the garbage cans. What a jerk royal guard royal guard Bread and surgically enhanced for size strength and endurance the royal guards of cobra law are responsible for the personal protection of gallabulas Which is why he only comes with like only one in the set, right? So they're there for the protection of gallabulas supreme ruler ruler of the hidden valley and last descendant of the serpent kings In case from head to foot in organic insectoid armor Cobra law are impervious to any ordinance up to high explosive anti-tank round Although uh formidable imbatable imbatable formidable imbatable although we're all formidable imbatable Uh the guards tend to be technically Unimaginative and are relatively useless without close supervision. They wander off, you know They're they're really strong. They fight really good, but you know Really short attention spans It comes from the mtv. That's what caused it, you know That's what caused the short attention span was the mtv They wander off. Yeah, you have to kind of herd them in Uh, all right, uh, there was an attempt attempted coup in cobra law around the time when the emperor Hadrian was building his wall. Hadrian's wall a little bit of history there Uh, the roman empire Uh, Hadrian 500 irate noblemen stormed the inner sanctum of gallabulas's summer palace and were confronted by just 20 guards Gallabulas slept through the entire incident one guard was slightly wounded of the 500 noble when there were no survivors These are supposed to be really good fighters here really good fighters. They wander off though. I mean You got it. You really got to keep them focused and and do not let them watch the mtv They just totally lost but if you can get them focused if you can get them focused Uh, then then they're good. Then then they fight that they fight really well They just they just bore really easily All right, uh, okay Uh, last one last one Last one Um, and that is I'm rereading because it was a request again. I'm reading rereading zartan Uh, but, um Is scoop available, uh, well, okay, we'll do one more uh format because we like Matt. Let me let me find scoop scoop scoop Uh, hold on hold on. I'm sure I've got scoop in here somewhere I'm pretty sure I know I've got scoop somewhere Because I reviewed scoop so scoop has to be in here, but I'm looking in the wrong year and I I'm doing I'm doing it again I'm looking in the wrong year I tell you I I I don't know from gi joe.

I got scoop I eventually found it All right, so uh for dramatic effect. I will read uh Zartan's file card Uh in the voice of groucho marks All right, uh, let's get a Zartan master of disguise uh File name unknown aliases too numerous to list That's not groucho marks. Who is that? All right, I can't do groucho marks Uh birthplace is unknown Uh, zartan can alter his skin color at at will to blend in with his environment For most of us we just call that getting a tan But for for zartan, yeah, we'll give him that all right. Okay zartan. Yes, you can alter your skin color at will By by staying out in the sun for extended periods of time Yeah, nobody else can do that. Yes, zartan. You have that special power Um, it doesn't even mention cold slither here. It doesn't even mention his musical talent I mean come on Um, all right, uh, let's see. Uh, you can alter his skin color He's also a master of makeup and disguise Uh, he he likes lipstick and obviously he likes uh, he likes eyeshadow He goes a little overboard with the eye shadow You know, you you have to be a real master with the makeup to go that overboard with the eye shadow Um, in event ventriloquist Um, yeah, he took over for charlie mccarthy Um, he's a linguist A very a quite a cunning linguist in fact is what i've heard. I've heard that he's quite the cunning linguist Um over 20 languages end dialects and uh, acrobatic contortionist So he he I mean, he's not a really a contortionist He can only do this one trick where he can like pull his lower lip over his head He he thinks that's contortionism, but we'll you know, again, we'll we'll give him that Uh, let's see a practitioner of several mystic martial arts. He's does crocheting. He does needle point um Most of those martial arts involved, you know arts and crafts. They're mystical arts and crafts But still he um You know like but a lot of them several several mystical arts and crafts Very little is known about his background and origins because nobody bothered to ask He's like I wish somebody would ask me about my background and origins Uh, so background and origins, but uh, most Security agencies agree. He must have had european military academy training probably saint sear. That's where they teach the the The the I may that's where they teach the the makeup and the ventriloquism that dead giveaway dead giveaway He's ventriloquist. He must have been trained in europe You know how those european ventriloquists are if he were if he were a mime We would know exactly where he's from Um, I forgot this is the one I was supposed to read this one because it has this final paragraph here It says Psychological profile extreme paranoid schizophrenic grows into various multiple personalities To such an extent that the original personality becomes buried and forgotten That is not at all how schizophrenia works But again, we're we're letting zartan think that he can uh, that he he can change color by getting a tan And he we're giving him his little delusion about his contortionism um, but we you know We're we're we're giving him a lot. We're giving him a lot um So we're this this will be the last one this one a special one Special one special last one and then we'll then we'll wrap it up We got to wrap it up soon because my voice is going to give out I've been talking for a long time here.

Uh with an advanced degree in journalism as well as a master's degree in electrical engineering scoop could have had a secure future with a network news team Well, maybe uh instead he opted for service on the gi joe team because he wanted to be On the spot when the news was being made not reporting the aftermath math contrary to popular belief As a journalist you can in fact be there On the spot when the news is being made that that is that is potentially possible Uh, the last paragraph says the other gi joes were a bit put off by scoop at first They resented having a third wheel tugging along uh Lugging 60 pounds of video equipment and not much firepower Excuse me, uh, they changed their minds after he carried a wounded comrade two clicks uh to uh What okay two clicks to an extraordinarily harry evacuation site for a medevac harry Now you think that harry is some kind of metaphor for something but in fact there was just hair all around it It was at a barbershop Uh, it's extremely harry The evacuation site all the while his camera captured the whole thing on tape Now now that uh, that's now that's called doing your job and then some That and that is scoop our final fire file card For the night.
