no matter what you say, you cannot refuse the truth of this statement: If Cobra had simply funded Cold Slither, they would've taken over the world a long time ago and they would've done the whole world a service by giving us better music. The things that could've been.
The Dreadnoks were some of my favorite characters!
Snap the best sub group in GI.JOE
Mine favorite aswel
Same! I need a dreadnok series! Give up on these gi joe movies... Everybody knows Cobra is what is actually interesting
I've always thought it was cool how Cobra had different affiliate groups: The Crimson Guard, the Dreadnoks, the Iron Grenadiers, Cobra-La. These dudes definitely diversified their "Evil Portfolio!"
What were those twins called?
@@pennystocklocks Tomax and Xamot
They need more.
@@altarush - What? McCobra?
We're Cold Slither you'll be joining us soon. A band of vipers, playing our tunes.
I actually had Zandar and Zarana action figures when I was a kid . When you put them in sunlight they changed colour.!! It was so mind-blowing as a kid.... Ahh the old days....
Yeah i had one of them too as a kid, it would change color if u put it in snow... the original hooded storm shadow was hard to find and nobody wanted to trade it at school 😔
Grape soda... lol these guys are basically swamp Juggalos.
At that time Zartan was one of the coolest action figures ever. Changing color in the sunlight was pretty sweet!
My all-time favorite Zartan lines come from the movie during the exchange with Pythona.
Z: "We don't know who you are, where you came from, or even what side you're on... why should we risk our necks on your behalf?"
P: "Does this answer your questions?" (she produces a gigantic gem)
Z: "A gem... of that size... answers... all.. my... questions."
Biker gang that loves "grape soda and chocolate donuts " is a cover for Jack Daniels and Meth.... LOL
Dont forget pua pua platters
They're Cold Slither, you'll be joining them soon. A band of vipers playing their tune.
😁 nicely said my friend
"Tha dreadnoks are tha best! Great Dreadnok history lesson dude, did'nt know all that about them! Loved watching them on the cartoon too!...and........ Cold Slither everybody!"
Man, The Dreadnoks were -- still are -- the coolest GI Joe characters for me. I wish I had all of their action figures, but having Zartan alone was one of my best childhood memories. That skin-darkening effect that Hasbro gave on the Zartan figure's body when exposed to the sun is AMAZING.
YO! You did it! Thank you so much man! I’m watching every ad that comes up on your channel from now on! Thanks again! This channel is dope.
COLD SLITHER was my jam!!!!
Road Pig’s cinderblock hammer is wicked awesome.
Zartan has a DAUGHTER Zanya?!? I thought I knew all these cats. Whoa.
Naw. Zanya was one of too many examples of Blaylock trying to make a personal mark on canon.
That year I got Zartan, Buzzer, and Ripper was the best Christmas ever!
In the cartoon, that is Zartan's HAIR!
I know the toy it does not look like hair, maybe just to fit the face mask.
But the cartoon it definitely doesn't look like a hood.
I always thought it was his hair but the toy looks like a hood
Larry Hama wrote some of the best stories. I collected the Joe comics when I was younger. Zartan being responsible for the Hard Master's death was a cool twist. Great memories.
Does anyone remember when you could make your own joe and send money off and they would make it? Any kid ever do that? It was like 3 proof of purchase. On the back of gi joes toy box.
Zartan and the Twins were my favorite characters. I always wanted to go punk after seeing them, and loved the side shave on girls long b4 it became popular
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar 👍
Loved the noks. Buzzer is my favorite. Never got why they didn’t make some regular motorcycles for them. I like how you included the custom vehicle pic with a Zanya vintage style figure. And would’ve been cool to see the Inhumanoids in the Joe toon
We all know grape soda & chocolate doughnuts are code words for pain killers and crystal meth.
#CobraConvergenceV
AWESOME! My favorite sub-unit in the entire line of comics and figures. Great job Jessie! Would like to see a video on Admiral Keel Haul and Cesspool.👍
You know they are badasses. When they just want Grape Soda and Chocolate Donuts. Seriously. Who drinks Grape Soda? It isn't even grape! Just Purple Soda.
Dreadnoks had the coolest commercial jingles: "They can destroy and leave no traces, DREADNOKS"! "Evil is wriiten all over their faces DREADNOKS "!
I always wondered if it was Marvel that wouldn't let them drink beer or Hasbro. Marvel characters normally drank beer in comics and "grape soda" is obviously a stand-in for beer in the comic.
More likely, hasbro is giving guidelines for Marvel. It was a kids' toy line at the time, and the cartoon was the main outlet for the figures. The comics sometimes blended the two to give the character's more personality.
I always read the grape soda and doughnuts as being metaphors for alcohol and amphetamines, obviously you can't have these things in a kids franchise.
Patiently awaiting a Road pig Classified figure...Gnaw too.....Zanzibar first ever Joe vehicle and figure set i got when i was little...Toy Liquidators.... then i get to the end of ur video and the vehicles is there AND u brought up the Streetfighter reused vehicle.... been watching ue vids since i got up... ur good stuff man!!!
Please do some videos on Clutch, Grunt, and Steeler! The 3 G.I.Joes who remained behind in the alternate Cobra Controlled universe in the G.I.Joe episode Worlds Without End!
I have often wanted a follow up in some form to that excellent episode.
@@andrewgrant2990 I bet the writers did that episode with an alternate Cobra Controlled Universe and have Clutch, Grunt, and Steeler remain behind as a way to discontinue them in the cartoon without having them killed off because of how Hasbro discounted their action figure toys at the time! Because of all the broadcast standards and trying to keep the shows kid friendly, they had to have zero body count in all cartoon shows. However, once Transformers The Movie came out, we all know about how a lot of old autobots and decepticons were killed off including Optimus Prime just to discontinue the cartoon characters since they discontinued the toys so they could make room for new toys and characters! We all know the big controversy about killing off Optimus Prime in Transformers The Movie because of how so many kids were traumatized by the death of Optimus Prime in Transformers the movie which is what made the writers change Duke's death in G.I.Joe The movie to being in a coma which he'll eventually come out of! However, if they had released G.I.Joe the Movie before Transformers The Movie, Duke would've been killed off by Serpentor for sure but you know feature films don't have all the broadcast standards that the regular tv shows do! So I think they wrote Worlds Without End and had Clutch, Grunt, and Steeler remain behind in the alternate Cobra Controlled universe to discontinue them in the cartoon without killing them off!
You killed this! Great job buddy, I always learn something new from you.
You are so right. There are just so may creators I've discovering because of CCV. This was so fantastic. Thank you Jesse.
I still have all of my dreadnocks figures & vehicles, snake eyes & storm shadow figures.
Man I love the Dreadnoks.
Thrasher was my eternal favorite. I went to a private school where lacrosse and bad behavior were two traditions... I feel like he could have been a classmate.
Cobra, and the Dreadnoks were way cooler designs than the Joes. Had all the Dreadnoks but the one with the boar.
At one point I felt I had to buy six joes to even up numbers.
....up until Zanzibar, that is. Never knew about those exclusives.
These guys were awesome. I got their car one year for my Birthday. Dual mini-guns mounted on the front...a great toy.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video, the Dreadnoks were an interesting addition to a world fill with military guys and terrorists and make it more colorful those bikers really paid off their time with COBRA as an adult you notes that in the animated series were just mere clowns and sometimes their toughness that thing that made them unique were put aside instead of the comic book part were they were worth every penny of it, although their appearance in Renegades was very cool.
Is a shame that never got used in a live action movie, especially in Retaliation where Zartan was more prominent and Zandar did appear they could had been used as the President' s personal bodyguards.
Thank you for your videos Jesse, keep up the great work
Thank you Ron Rudat and Larry Hama for all the awesome character designs.
The Barroness would "GET IT"!😁😀😍😌
Mmm. Grape soda and chocolate donuts. Ahlalalala.
A gem that size answers all my questions……
The Original Marvel and the Image/Devils Due comics run are my Joe Canon. Just awesome!
Always love the comic book version of the Dreadnoks #CobraConvergenceV
Cold Slither is the greatest rock song ever.
A perfect villains concert:
"Out of my way"-The Misfits (JEM)
"Cold Slither" -Cold Slither (G.I.JOE)
"Instruments of Destruction"-NRG (The TRANSFORMERS: The Movie)
Yeah it was
I still have some Drednoks figures somewhere. I always liked Torch.
@4:15 Middle right panel -- I guess AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV series) Mack was a big Dreadnok fan -- that weapon is clearly the inspiration for Mack's shotgun-axe
My godmother had bought me the Thunder Machine. It was easy to put together
You're keeping up the awesome work! 👍
Great video. My favourite of the cobra
Always pumped when I see a new video is up!
In the cartoons the Dreadnoks were little more than comic relief. Looked badass but wasted potential.
Love your work, been enjoying it for a while. Glad to see you in the convergence #cobraconvergencev
I love this channel, and this series in particular, so fuckin' much!
Hey! My Sears boxed set of the photochromic repaint RAM cycle and VAMP didn't come packaged with a special Zarana, like that!
They're for sure Australian mad Max style characters
Zandar and Zarana were my very first toys and must admit had a crush on Zarana
I think Dreadnoks is meant to be a cool mispelling of the class of ship, dreadnaught. From the line, "Fear God and dread naught."
I wish they would make Classified Street Fighters!
Loved dreadnoks. They rode my maisto Harley models and terrorized the joes.
I had no idea Abbath was a Dreadnoks member!
I always forget Abbath was a GI Joe villain before he formed Immortal in 1990.
Dreadnocks were an instant hit amongst the toys.
My favorite baddies, right up there with Storm Shadow & Tomax & Xamot! I'm an only child so I couldn't be the twins.... I stopped taking tkd at Red/yellow belt so I couldn't be a ninja... Oh well I love my bike and my Club.... Guess I grew up to be a damn Dreadnok!!!
If Ozzy Osbourne and a biker gang got into weight lifting And terrorism. Joined up with some punk rockers into same.
#blackdiamondpresscomix.🇺🇸2k21 Thanks! The Dreadnoks were the Koolest! Signed by ×Mighty-Mighty Jr. 👌
I had so many of these toys.
Thank you I learned quite a bit from your videos.
I always thought of the Dreadnoks as a huge biker gang like the hells angels. Bit of an international criminal gang.
Yes! Been waiting for this one.
NOK is also next of kin, who’ll have to be notified after you meat the Dreadnoks or could imply they’re family, Domestic Toretoo would approve of criminals taking care of their own, gangs being like.
Fear family or family of fear. Somehow, that really fits the dreadnoks well.
Ripper was my favorite action figure when I was younger him and headman
Serpentor looks more good looking than in cartoon. 7:39
Freefall leather face dial tone backstop reaperer air wave laster viper rovar
I wanted and Assault saw when I was a kid. Hell, I want one now.
Bloody great mate
Big Boa...now there’s a Cobra who’s got a weird story.
The Dreadnoks are basically a Cobra faction devoted to Cobra Commander.
Thank you my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻
Chocolate donuts and grape soda for all!
Love your videos
They brought the grittiness to Cobra and always loved their gimmicked guns.
I wish they had the Joes attacking teddy bears and the Commander crying out aloud, “ Oh no, my poor teddies!
I've never had something i was so excited to watch put me to sleep so quickly
"Then you shoulda never watched it in tha first place u narco! I loved it!"
Grape soda and entimens chocolate doughnuts.
Not a gi joe guy..not a cobra guy..m a drednok
These dreadnok Characters r frkn Cool!
Chocolate donuts and grape sodas from everyone...that Cole's Dreadnok and grape soda stereotype (its okay,I'm a black guy..I approved this message)
You left out the episodes that zarana and mainframe 's star crossed love took place. But, sunbow never took it any further because of how things in the comics were developed.
Yo Joe!
Abbath from Immortal was in a cartoon?
I just saw that and thought the same thing.
Don't mess with the dreadnoks or they will mess with you.
Skit
Mark cobra eels
Gotta love the Dreadnoks!!! #CobraConvergenceV
Think you from your friends in cobra
how about doing a review of the crimson guard
I always thought the word was Dreadnauts as in astronauts but for dread instead of outer space
How about Captain Claymore.
Did you ever notice that Buzzsaw looks a lot like Dee Snider, the older he gets the more he looks like the character. In one of his newest music videos, he even has the spiked shoulder suit of Thrasher. watch?v=hljBz0zTEKQ
17:41 Sooooo... guessing that’s a custom Ground Assault box with added-in Zarana repainted as Zanya... for reasons? 🤨
