The Cooler Show: Transformers or GI Joe?
 
In anticipation of the Joe disc next week and the Transformers just a bit after that, I pose this question: which is cooler - GI Joe or the Transformers, and why.

Transformers.

Two Words: Transforming Robots.

And now we know, and knowing is half the battle.

didn't watch the cartoon all that much, but I was all over G.I. Joe toys and comic books


go Joe !

I voted Transformers. I prefered the Transformers cartoon, but prefered GI Joe toys. I loved MASK and I don't see it as a ripoff.

GO-BOTS was for F@9s

They both sucked!

I liked the original GI Joe over Transformers. All though I always watched both shows. They seemed to always play right after each other when I was growing up.

So these DVDs that are coming out, are these the original? If they are the original 80's cartoon does this include the 3-4 elements that COBRA was trying to collect when the series first started?

GI Joe for ever. It's all about in the GI Joe movie when they sport some blood. In the original ending, Duke was supposed to die.

Cool. Just plain cool.

TRANSFORMERS! More than meets the eye!

MrX 02-07-03 06:51 PM

GI Joe for me. I never got into Transformers.

I agree with Pants about MASK. I had a ton of the MASK toys.

CaptainMarvel 02-07-03 07:08 PM

G.I. Joe ... now if Cartoon Network would actually start playing some NEW episodes, I'd be set.

G.I. Joe or the old Transformers or freaking Care Bears are all better than this new Transformers: Armada puke that's out now.

TF was a better cartoon, while joe had the much better comic. Joe toys were better as well.

Transformers. Robots In Disguise.

Hopefully Cartoon Network will pick up M.A.S.K. as well.

transformers.

Mopower 02-07-03 11:51 PM

Yo Joe! Ya can't beat em. I mean they had freaking Sgt. Slaughter and the Refridgerator Perry. All transformers had was energon cubes and Spike. Stupid Spike. The robot aspect was cool and all but they never had the epic battle of Joe. And transformers just got all weirded out in the later seasons. Well....Joe did too. I suppose.

JoeyOhhhh 02-07-03 11:58 PM

G.I. Joe, and apparently Clinton is a big fan also ;) http://www.geocities.com/spiritwrl//billcom.jpg

Yes, the GI Joe dvd coming this Tuesday contains the original 2 miniseries (A Real American Hero & The Revenge of Cobra) that aired before the official first season.

Aaron Amos 02-08-03 01:18 PM

I liked them equally. After watching a few episodes of Transformers: Armada I was :yack: . Give me the originals any day instead of these digimon knock off wannabes!

Captain Harlock 02-08-03 01:27 PM

I watched G.I. Joe this past summer for the first time in I'd say about ten years. I don't know but it just seemed so......lame. It really felt like a 30 minute infomercial for the cartoon. I know you're supposed to suspend your disbelief , but why would a polar trooper be running around the jungle in his white cold weather gear?

I'd like to see Cartoon Network do an updated version of G.I. Joe with a little more realism.

The one show that has held up remarkabley well over the years is Robotech. It really doesn't feel dated.
