Cobra Commander. Because he must be behind this contest to give out such a diabolical prize

My favorite character has to be the pilot of the helicopter. Not only is be ballsy enough to land them in the oddest and dangerous of places, but to be perfectly on time to pick them back up. He needs more screentime.

Going back to the comics, one of my favorite characters was Sgt. Slaughter. His introduction during Zartan’s infiltration was beating up the welcoming party, followed by randomly decking Zartan when he was disguised as Gung Ho. Another favorite was Flint, from when he beat up Xamot (or Tomax) at the amusement park. And “Chuckles” was pretty tough during the whole fiasco where the “lost” missile the fake Joes were guarding got launched, and then he marched right in on the corrupt army officers and demanded their resignations. … Those comics bring back great memories…

Snake eyes because he was going in on his foster brother in there lair that whole fight scene was hot but he should have at least had one line after he couldn’t save him from the drop

Helicopter Pilot,because nobody ever cares about him. Sure, he may make it look easy, but it isn’t and he needs more credit. He may look like he has nerves of steel flying that thing around like he does, but inside he’s sad that he doesn’t have his own fanclub and that on his birthday nobody sends him singing cards.

I’m going to have to go with Snake Eyes. Words aren’t necessary with him, it’s all about action.

Storm Shadow… because nobody respects the white ninja anymore. In the comics he was “bananas”, in the TV series he was “bananas”, & in the movies… well, he made you take notice. Too bad he wasn’t in the animated movie… curse you Cobra Commander! CURSE YOU!

‘Oh… I can’t get that terrible song out of my head. COBRA!!!
Leon Durham

My favorite is Cobra Commander because of his voice in the cartoon and I always wanted to know what was under the mask.

My favorite would have to be Snake Eyes. Oh, and did you know this little known fact? Snake Eyes was told that the 1998 Brian De Palma film “Snake Eyes”, starring Nicolas Cage, would be a biography about his life and him eventually joining the G.I.Joe team. He showed up to the Hollywood Premiere and was devastated to find out that the film had absolutely nothing to do with him. He fell into a deep depression and started wearing black all of the time. Eventually, due to his embarrassment, he hid his face in shame and has never spoken again. In a strange twist, Storm Shadow was the co-writer on the film who convinced Brian De Palma to make the story about a cop in Atlantic City instead. To make a long story short (too late), the tears falling out of Snake Eyes’ 2 eyes now signify when you roll two ones on dice….hence the phrase “you rolled snake eyes”. Actually, never mind, I like Wild Bill ’cause of his cowboy hat.
