Yeah, I'd want to see an alternative take on GI Joe at some point, based on the idea that the Joes "aged" in real-time. So at this point, most of the '82-'88 Joes would have retired, replaced by newer ones, maybe a younger guy like Grunt would be a colonel by now.
I think Marvel recently did something similar with the X-Men in an alternative universe book (forget what the series was called), where they set a "hard timeline" at around the Dark Phoenix Saga (1980) and started aging all the X-Men in real-time from there, and most of today's X-Men are now either totally new or the kids of retired members. I could be misremembering though... I haven't read a "Big Two" superhero comic book in years.
