In the vast and intricate world of G.I. Joe, a franchise that encompasses toys, comics, cartoons, and movies, few groups stand out quite like the Dreadnoks. This band of renegade mercenaries, introduced in the early 1980s, has captured the imagination of fans with their unique blend of anarchy, loyalty, and comic relief. The Dreadnoks serve as a significant antagonist force, often aligned with Cobra, G.I. Joe’s main adversary, but their distinct personality and modus operandi set them apart from the typical villainous fare. Origins and Evolution The Dreadnoks were first…

G.I. JOE STORIES – “Zarana’s Initiation”!

September 25, 2023September 25, 2023 Serpentorslair StaffCobra, Dreadnoks, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Zarana, Zartan0 comment

Zarana had always been a wild spirit. Growing up, she had felt like an outsider, a rebel with no cause. That was until she met her older brother Zartan, the enigmatic master of disguise who would change her life forever. Now, she stood at the precipice of her initiation into the criminal Dreadnok biker gang, and the tasks before her were nothing short of daunting. The moon hung low in the night sky, casting eerie shadows over the decrepit factory where the Dreadnoks had made their headquarters. Zarana’s heart pounded…

G.I.Joe ‘Zanzibar’ With Air Skiff Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Dreadnok Zanzibar and his Air Skiff. This is one I got for Christmas back in 1987 and the whole figure and vehicle are really cool. First you have Zanzibar that is a really cool looking figure. The outfit is unique and he featured a real pony tail. He is also a Dreadnok Then we get to his skiff which might not be the most safest design but what vehicle didn’t defy the laws of logic in the late…

G.I.Joe ‘The Dreadnoks’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. I’ve been talking about a lot of G.I.Joe sub groups as a whole lately and there is one group that I don’t believe was ever labeled as a sub group but certainly can be considered one. The group is the Dreadnoks. Zartan is the leader but the first three Ripper, Torch, and Buzzer were a huge part of the cartoon and one of my favorite lines is when they say ‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello, and it is followed up with them getting knocked out with an audios…

G.I.Joe ‘DREADNOK DOOM CYCLE’ Reviewed By Mitchell Smith!

June 17, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Dreadnoks, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today we are talking the 2010 G.I.Joe Dreadnok Doom Cycle with Storm Rider. This is one I picked up. This one is pretty cool. The is similar to the classic Dreadnok 3 wheeler from 1987. Storm Rider is a really cool figure and too bad he never made it into a cartoon, at least I don’t believe he did. This is a really cool Dreadnok and he looks great with some of the classics such as Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch. I know I have neglected this figure myself and I need…

Background In Issue 35, the Dreadnoks took Zartan’s motorcycle on a joy ride, while Clutch, Breaker, and Rock ‘N Roll were enjoying time on leave before the two groups met. Zartan was not pleased with the Dreadnoks, and neither was Rock ‘N Roll. The issue did not go perfectly well for the Dreadnok Buzzer. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 35 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe”reviews there as well.) On to the issue This issue is titled All the…

Several talented people came together to make this Holiday parody involving the lovable? puppets based on the G.I.JOE Dreadnok characters. David Hof, Sabrina Lacroix, James Bachand, Asa Hof, Stephan “GeekViper” Allen, Philip Ockelford (highly recommend you check out his Fiverr.com page he is excellent.) and myself collaborated to put together this umm… new holiday classic. If you love G.I.JOE you know those Dreadnoks are always getting into mischief, usually based on their lack of intelligence. Here we present what happens when they sing the 12 days of Christmas. Mupnok style.…
