I just finished watching all of the mini series with my son and I find that I like "The Revenge of Cobra" best because it seems that my favorite characters are the stars...Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow Scarlett, Zartan, Baroness, and Destro. Is this my "era" of JOE?
Upon further reflection, I find that this is the era of characters that really defines what I perceive to be authentic and not authentic. The JOEs don't just steamroll over Cobra and sometimes, they don't win a battle. Cobra Commander is not a wuss, Snake-Eyes is more than a silent sidekick to be dressed in women's clothes and get kisses from his pet dog. *groan* (Pyramid of Darkness anyone?) Anyway, which is your favorite of the minis and why?

I voted "Revenge of COBRA" for basically the same reasons you listed.
A very close second is "The MASS Device." I think it has more clever dialogue and characterizations than ROC, but there are more enjoyable characters in ROC. Next comes "Pyramid of Darkness" for the pure camp factor. It is almost DiC-like in its utter lunacy, yet it succeeds because it is infinitely quotable. Last is ASA, AKA GIJOE Jumps The SHARC. The blandest of the mini-series, focusing on the new characters and nearly ignoring all the ones people became attached to in 1984 and 1985. |

Don't know I liked them all! Each one has a good quality in its own way
Mass Device a lot of reference to Comic Books and adding new characters to 83 only downfall no General Hawk. Revenge more interesting more bad guys and more vehicles, also Cobra Commander lookin like a goofy KKK member in the hood when Roadblock scares him by muttering from behind "I ask myself the same question!" POD Yeah it was not as good as the last two but it paved the way for the series and added more Joe characters ASA I felt this was GI JOE facing the end as it got a lot worse after the 87 movie. Only good thing we finally get Hawk into the story. |

ASA from your list. But you didn't mention Operation Dragonfire.

I can't stand Operation Dragonfire for so many reasons...I actually just watched it again to refresh my memory. Still a stinker in my book. But maybe that's just me? Anyone?

Revenge of Cobra--Flint and Zartan, FTW!!
Resolute is OK, but could never compete with Sunbow. |
