I'd worry less about making them into joes and focus on making them into men first...

You misunderstand...i have no nostalgia for the arah stuff. i prefer a new take on it, updated, fresh and relevant to our current time and tech level. which is why i found it amusing to see someone on the tank with the "screw ARAH" mentality. most of the time i feel like i'm fighting against the current on that one.

When somebody says "oh, that new bike is crap, Joes never had robots" it just pisses me off. They didn't HAD robots. These aren't the Arah Joes, these are modern...and new. Most stuff is new, and/or unreleased charcters/versions.
The SNAKE armor is horrible. Ridiculous, unpractical and boring, even for Arah standards...but oooh, everyone loves them! Well not me, fuck nostalgia. I'm not 8 anymore.
agreed, see above.

I don't even know if the mold was relevant then...even as i kid i always wondered "how can these things fight anything without knees?"
