Hey hey! Thanks for the shoutout Kevin! And a lovely review. Great that the Rocket Sled is the fastest, as if it were by design! You've convinced me to procure a Scuba Pack for some coastal adventures...
Starting at 11:40 , Shockwave will soon retire from the G.I Joe team due to chronic back pain he is slowly beginning to develop at that moment.... Crystal Ball told me this..... Crystal Ball is the seventh son of a seventh son, so he knows what he's talking about. : ) Beginning at 8:04 , Hydro Viper gets into a severe crash and is injured. After unable to pay his hospital bills due to Cobra Commander being a cheap skate and only paying minimum wage, Hydro Viper sues Cobra and wins.
The interesting aspect of a lot of these GI Joe accessories is that they make for good toys, but outside of that you'd wonder if the vehicle designers for both sides were either trying to deliberately out-do each other in terms of goofiness or if drugs were involved. The later years were certainly unusual. Then I recall stuff the Nazis did when they designed vehicles as well as some of the more unusual ideas of other real-world militarys and realize that, unfortunately, practicality isn't always part of the equation. Sometimes they just throw random things at a wall and see what sticks. It does also go into something I commented on earlier for their backpack capabilities- most likely anyone strapping these on would break their spine or suffer other serious injuries trying to walk around.
