The Commandos heard of an Indian, considered the "terror of the Amazon" that drove away hunters with bombs. "An Indian with explosives?! So it can only be a Cobra!" - concluded the Commandos. And they left to capture him. But because of the ability to escape into the dense forest, and he ended up chasing the Commandos and conquering them all! It was a half-breed of the jungle that only protected the animals and the forest, stopping deforestation by blasting machines of illegal logging. He was soon recruited to the Tiger Force, - elite troops of super commandos for missions that require superhuman ability. In the grip of the "Tiger of the Jungle" the Cobras station is lost in the jungle without hope!

I couldn't resist! I had to try and translate the 1984 "Snake-Eyes" enemy that the Brazilian "Commands" had to face!
O Invasor ‘The Invader’ [Snake-Eyes v.1 - "pre-Cobra" version] Deposited brand Of unknown origin, the enemies are very powerful and they want to dominate the world. They always attack in packs and appear anywhere in the world. The only thing that can stop their advancement is the presence of the Commands, super prepared to face this terrible threat worldwide. |

Who has not heard of "Sailor"? The son of a Coast Guard, who saved a military base belonging to Tiger Force Commandos! Born and raised on a maritime platform, the vast sea was his yard and his friends, the dolphins. When the young Sailor found that the Cobras were setting explosives underwater in the military base of the Tigers, many miles away, the commandos called the boy, who got the fame for talking to the fish. Later, Sailor went to Tiger Force, - elite troops composed of super commandos for missions that require superhuman ability. Since then, the sea does not belong to Cobra!

yeah the Argen cards did give alot of file names.
Condor (Aaron Sternfield) Coyote (Robert J. Austin) T.N.T. (Theodore Nicolas Thomas) Sokerk (John Murphy) Shimik (Jerome Ford) Redmack (Sgt. Reginald Cobb) Glenda (Jane Mullighan) Manleh (Sgt. Jason Kavanagh) Topson (Sgt. Frank Barbieri) Alado (George Thompson) Crag (Arthur Gray) Sparta I (Jean Cornington) Sparta II (Brigid Cortez) Joe Con Set. Fuego (Michael Berger) Sigilo (Tung Li Chang) White Dragon (CLASSIFIED) Felino (Joao Kayapo) Joe Con. Sgt. Alan Heavy S.O.S. (Dr. Gordon M. Kline) But even as crappy as the file cards might have been some of the stuff in them make say a TF Duke a completely different figure. Tapping into Thundercats it seems.

Gladion may be related to Gladius, the Roman sword.
I thought it was Athena.Never seen it spelt 'Atena' Tigor, Leontor, Kangor and Urzor are clearly in the realms of Thundercat names. It looks like the name for the animal they're related to, but is different enough for copyright. |

Who is that again?
I keep losing the YoJoe INternational page since it is somehow not linked through the normal clicks to get there. YOJOE.COM | International G.I.Joe - Brazil With some of the older figures I wonder if they were inspired by Roman and Greek deities? Not sure if they translate into anything, but Triton, and Athena for sure and Eletron and Furion just sound Greek Godlike? Although Furion is probably just a made up word. Dragon and Olhos de Fenix just imply more mythology in there naming convention.

Alado does mean 'Winged'
Alado: (Argen) Alado is a born winner. He joined the Air Force early with the desire to become a pilot. But then he discovered that his true passion was parachute jumping. He travels the world jumping higher and higher and winning the most important awards: someone never ever danced in the sky like Alado. The falls like a feather drawing on the most incredible acrobatics air tests. His skill and talent aroused the admiration of his peers. (Brazil) Alado was a born winner. He joined the Air Force early: his dream was to become a pilot. But soon discovered that his business was even jump parachute. Travelled the world jumping higher and higher and winning the most important awards. No one danced in the sky like Alado. He falls into the target as a feather: quietly. Master in the parachute, Alado became master of troops Commando "Look bird" say the commandos "Look at the storm," as his enemies see it! |
