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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
