I noticed when I got my DVD set that Dusty had the name Tadur on his chest. The file card as well as the 2002 release file card says Tadur also. Now I specifically remember him having a different name on the show, so I put on the dvd to check. If you watch the episode The Traitor, they refer to him as Dusty Rudat several times in both episodes 1 and 2. Now it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that Rudat is Tadur spelled backward, but what gives. Anyone know the story behind this?

One of those Cartoon F-Ups.
Here is his original file card, that is the foundation of the character in my book.

I do also agree that file cards are gospel. Was just curious.

Dusty's name is BOTH, Rudat and Tadur. In the comics and figures it's Tadur. In the Cartoon it's Rudat, so named for someone associated with the show...producer, writer, I forget, but both names are correct.

Great question!
I've always wondered this myself. Those episodes were burned into my head as a child for some reason. I always stuck with Rudat because of that 2 parter, but the Toy was made before the show so it must be the Tv show's error. Maybe some one had dislexia. |

Listen to Yoda. The Force is not strong in script supervisors.

I was thinking that it had more to do with copyright issues and such. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that Dusty was the only Joe ever named on the cartoon (real name). I assumed it was some copyright issue.

From YoJoe.com -
It was common practice for Hasbro to name and/or sculpt G.I.Joe characters after real-life individuals. The character of Dusty was given the real name "Ronald Tadur" - an anagram for Ron Rudat, a Hasbro artist who helped design much of G.I.Joe's early look. |
