base, where the Doctor intends to turn him into a Neo-Viper. While the Joes scramble to try to find a way around this, Duke is imprisoned at the M.A.R.S. Furthermore, Hawk tells them that they have each been recalled by their respective heads of state. The release, however, comes with strict orders that none of them are ever to return to France. Thanks to some diplomatic wrangling, the Joes are released from their arrest by the French. Following this, the Joes are arrested by French authorities, believing them to be the ones who damaged the Eiffel Tower. Breaker then manages to extract memory engrams from one of the Neo-Vipers indicating the location of the Arctic base and the remaining targets.
Although Duke is successful in preventing widespread destruction across Paris, the damage is sufficient to collapse the Eiffel Tower, destroying it utterly. The nanomites eat through part of the tower before Duke hits the kill switch, but in doing so he is captured and taken to McCullen's base under the Arctic Circle. Joe track down the Baroness and Storm Shadow and pursue them through the streets of Paris, but are unsuccessful in stopping them from launching the missile. They then plan to attack the Eiffel Tower. After which, Baron DeCobray is murdered by Storm Shadow under orders from McCullen if he touched the Baroness again. After a fight, Storm Shadow and the Baroness retrieve the warheads and take them to Baron DeCobray, the Baroness's husband, for him to weaponize. Joe base and sends Storm Shadow, the Baroness and Zartan with the enhanced Neo-Vipers to retrieve the warheads. Using a tracking device, McCullen locates the G.I. McCullen plans on using the warheads to cause a panic, causing the world to turn to the President of the United States for guidance. McCullen and his mysterious associate, the Doctor, are revealed to be using the same nanotechnology to build an army of soldiers. Hawk takes command of the warheads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, but when Duke reveals that he knows the Baroness, Hawk allows them to train to join G.I. Joe Team, at their headquarters, The Pit, in Egypt. They take the warheads to General Hawk, head of the G.I. Before Duke and Ripcord meet a similar fate, they are rescued by Scarlett, Snake-Eyes and Heavy Duty. In the ensuing firefight, many of Duke and Ripcord's teammates are killed or severely wounded, and both of their AH-64 Apache gunships are destroyed, along with all of their ground vehicles. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads.ĭuke and Ripcord are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness and several Cobra Vipers. He sells four nanomite warheads to NATO, and the U.S. In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen has created a nanotechnology capable of destroying an entire city. These things stole some of the reality of the cartoon for me, but are still entertaining nonetheless.James McCullen giving NATO a presentation regarding nanomites I like the idea of a dormant society from thousands of years back trying to reclaim the Earth, and the characters were cool, but the organic creatures that made up the base were a little too much, like a giant cockroach for a bridge, a big.whatever for an air transport. The Cobra-La element is the one thing that I think was overplayed.

I almost feel that the drama could have been heightened if Duke had died ( which was originally written into the script), but he is a great character, and we can't have a death on a kids' TV show like that.
Doing away with Cobra Commander wasn't a plot point I liked, because he was always a great character, but it had a valid reasoning linked into the movie, so I let it go. Now as far as this movie installment is concerned, watching it, you kind of get the idea that this was supposed to be a "next generation" type of story, especially dealing with new Joes on the force, and a new threat more powerful than Cobra.
And Gi Joe was always fresh with its story, and even kept elements of past episodes together in an ongoing story. Other cartoons couldn't do that as well as GI Joe, or even transformers, without coming off as sugary or presented in a way that talked down to its viewers. The writers of the show/movie had to juggle a story around several dozen characters, tie it all together, make it work, and not overwhelm the audience with it. And, unlike a lot of crap made today and back then, it worked out very well. The idea was obviously post- cold war type conflict put to paper, spawned a few characters, and was animated. What makes this one of the great cartoons from the 80's was it's realistic nature. I own it on DVD, and have watched it several times. Reviewed by Skeletors_Hood 8 /10 Would be very hard to top
