United We Stand
This reminds me a bit of Spell of the Siren.
Captain Grid-Iron makes two football puns throughout the episode.
Lady Jaye is sort of presented near him at all times, but is mute. Grid-Iron the Flint replacement, leads the team.
Pathfinder is leading GIJoe to a Cobra Chemical Lab in a jungle at the beginning of the episode, Recondo replacement, but in Jungle Trap, Recondo is shown as the best of the best at deep jungle treaking. Pathfinder does make a mistake overlooking a hazard. So, this sequence would not make me want to own this figure.
Ambush is shown to have no respect for Pathfinder and is just going to go on ahead and do his own thing throughout the episode. They are supposed to be sort of a bickering joemance, ala Wetsuit and Leatherneck.
Alley Vipers are on guard in the central lab room, face shields down. The base is destroyed but Cobra Commander uses the last of his behavioral modification gas on Salvo. Later they are guarding another Cobra Base, but shields are up.
He uses mirrors to make it look like he has enough missiles to pepper the world with this gas and black mails the world's governments for 50 billion dollars. At one point an Alley Viper is setting up mirrors and he calls him a Range Viper.
Metal Head was going to take out Salvo at five feet range, he accidently destroys a Cobra Rage, and accidently destroys Cobra Commander's command device, so he can't give more orders to the Joes he gets under his control.
While buffing, the joes are under house arrest, but Pathfinder and Ambush can go after Salvo because they are at a hospital, they sneak out dressing as nurses, even those Cobra forces are keeping a watchful eye. Painful scene, them in drag.
Gnawgahyde actually comes off a bit like Destro, he does stay reasonable and saves Cobra Commander at the end.
When the Joe team finds out this is all a big bluff, the mobilizing force going to Cobra Commander's base, Cobra looks hopelessly outmatched in terms of vehicles, weapons and forces.
Overall... its not bad, its not good either.
The plot is coherent, but the voice acting is bad and drag humor is cringe. I'd say 2 out of 4 stars. I just keep looking back to where Sunbow did similar ideas and much better. The highlight of this episode, for me, is Metal Head's insanity. Cobra Commander even feels underplayed in character and performance.
