Joe: A Real American Hero, chances are you remember the mighty MOBAT (Motorized Battle Tank).

If you grew up during the golden age of Saturday morning television, there was nothing quite like waking up, grabbing a bowl of cereal, and planting yourself in front of the television for a morning filled with robots, spaceships, monsters, dinosaurs, and larger-than-life heroes.

Sub-Teams Part IV: D.I.R.E. Tech

My final installment in this series of G.I. Joe sub-team articles hits today. The Hasbro team has done such an excellent job creating new characters that fit so well into the lore while also turning out to be outstanding figures. I absolutely love it.

Tech crew, though, there’s also some reuse of older parts and designs—and it works incredibly well. When Crystal Ball first came out, I was a little…

For years, G.I. Joe fans have dreamed of seeing their favorite franchise receive the kind of big-screen treatment it has always deserved. While previous live-action films delivered explosive action and impressive visual effects, many longtime collectors and comic fans felt they never truly captured the heart of what made A Real American Hero such a cultural phenomenon. Now, that could finally be about to change. According to an exclusive report from Nexus Point News, Bradley Cooper is being eyed to replace Chris Hemsworth in Paramount’s upcoming G.I.
