again, i could be wrong as i have not seen any episodes in atleast a dozen years. obviously SE's file name was made Classified to make the character more mysterious and dramatic, and that is why the characters were given code names as well. a toy named Stalker is far more exciting and appealing to a child than Sergeant Lorenzo Wilkinson....yawn. |

i see your point and agree with the likely motives, etc. and the unlikely use in a realistic setting however i agree to diagree regarding it's purpose/use in joe cartoon/comics. again, i always remember all the identities being secret, not just a select few. if there are examples otherwise please refresh my memory, it's been a long time were there ever consolidated graphic novels for the gi joe comic line? i'd really need to go back and read the stories. reading thru this forum makes it clear just how much joe info i have forgotten over the years.
yep, found my answe... i'll have to hit up the comic shop to get the volume editions however i only see vol. 1 and 2 so it doesn't seem like they went very far with it? Last edited by arch2b; 12-23-2007 at 05:24 PM.. |

Seriously. Heavy Duty is despised 'because' he's a cheap Roadblock ripoff. There's not one thing unique about this guy. I even remember in the SpyTroops movie, Heavy Duty sucked at cooking and everyone laughed and compared him to Roadblock. |

After a day of sitting on it, I still feel as though Roadblock should not be overlooked - Although I must say, your great responses prompted me to do my homework.
I came to a sad conclusion that Heavy Duty does in fact belong with the ARAH line. Optimism: They will use both characters in the film and we will see a huge Joe team for this movie. (wink'n) If they used Michael Clarke Duncan as Roadblock it would def' make him the dominator of the two. Just my two cents... Points: Heavy Duty is a character from the G.I. Joe series of toylines, comics and cartoons. His original file card indicates his real name is Lamont A. Morris of Chicago, Illinois. He serves as the G.I. Joe Team’s heavy ordnance specialist with a passion for classical guitars and Bach. He is described as being unafraid of any situation despite heavy enemy fire. The first appearance of Heavy Duty was in the 1991 edition of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline. Although he appeared in very minimal roles in other G.I. Joe media, Heavy Duty was still able to attain some level of popularity despite appearing late in the series. He is one of very few characters from that time to crossover to the G.I. Joe revival in 2002 and is included in G.I. Joe: Sigma 6. He has had several editions of action figures since then. In other media, Heavy Duty first appeared in issue #130 of the G.I. Joe comics published by Marvel Comics. He was among the group of Joes who defended the Pit from an assault by Cobra. He did not appear again until an issue in the comics published by Devil’s Due. He was also featured in the second season of the second animated series. In both comic and cartoon incarnations, he had a fairly generic personality and no mention is made of his love for classical music. In the G.I. Joe: Spy Troops CGI animated film, Heavy Duty returns with a more colorful personality albeit as one who loves explosives. It is mentioned in the film that he is Roadblock’s cousin. Like his relative, he shares the same passion in cooking, if not the skills. Thank our friends at Wikipedia, they had the most accurate info. |
