Out of every single Joe character in the Joe Universe, why the heck did they pick Heavy Duty?
because he has BECOME a significant part of G.I. Joe in the last 7 years, and there will be plenty of people in the audience who will recognize him. the movie may be based heavily on the concepts from the original cartoon and comics, but that doesn't mean it is going to follow it to a tee. this is a new telling based on old concepts.
I am certain that the film makers aren't analyzing appearances from the cartoon and comic to determine who and what will be in it and when. it is arbitrary and silly to say only characters who appeared in the cartoon before Serpentor should be in the movie when the fact is G.I. Joe is much bigger than that narrow view. the problem isn't Hasbro for not adhering to your arbitrary and narrow opinion, it is your arbitrary and narrow opinion.
we are all glad you are here to voice your opinion and debate the subject so passionately, but unfortunately you still have not provided one sound reason why the character should not be Heavy Duty.
