Also: what do you suppose the smirk on original Duke's headsculpt is depicting? Joy? Cockiness? Flatulence? Answers this way lie!

Steve is right about the Flagg in that it's under designed. They should have made it with a bottom and wheels. If it could also float that would be amazing but it honestly just needs to be able to roll. And I don't know if you guys had the micro machines aircraft carrier, but if the Flagg had been built like that and had wheels for rolling it on carpet or concrete it would be perfect. It probably could have been a little shorter length wise from the footage I've seen.

I like the dreadnoks. They're interesting. I see Cobra using gangs as it's pawns and the dreadnoks being their main pawn. And I'm only talking about non Zartan dreadnoks.

Joe is an American icon. Same with Star Wars. Trek. Marvel. DC. Most pop culture is from here and made originally for us. I love anime. Akira is my favorite film. I would never want it or any anime to adapt to an American or global market and change the location of most animes from Japan to America or Europe. Like how for the film version of Akira they want to call Neo Tokyo Neo Manhattan. That sucks. I prefer the original canon in almost every franchise. For Joe's I see the original canon as the cartoon and comic books mixed.

And I think the CORPS perfectly fills the role Steve is asking for. Especially modern Corps in terms of story.

Rob's got it about Joe's being ARAH. The inclusion of the October Guard is proof they weren't pushing an American agenda. We worked with them sometimes and against sometimes. I think Steve is taking it a little too literally. Also, the international or global military force doesn't appeal as much to the Americans that tend to be into Joe's. Most Joe fans here are conservatives and don't like the idea of a global entity.
