What The **** are these?  Was this what caused Hasbro to pull the plug in '94?

Hasbro was just throwing every thing on the drawing board and see if it would stick.   A Hasbro rep at one of the GIJCC conventions mentioned this.  They were taking all the vanilla favours of the day like Exo-Squad, Captain Planet, TMNT etc. and trying to get some of that action.

I know you would have bought boatloads of these... right... I know you... 5h4rK

Nope!
There's no difference between the Replicators, the Rat and the mole pods..

I would've bought these.

Who says that it's not their armor that is a shapeshifting gastric alien?

Guys, it's poor sales that lead to GI joe's demise, plus the joe brand not appealing to kids anymore, it started way before this in a declining way. Kids started to be more into video games than us in the later 90's, unlike our generation (for the most of us), so that forced Hasbro taking a long break and plan a comeback later on, I'm sure. Gi joe is like Barbie is to Mattel. I doubt that Hasbro would "kill" the line, they'd just try to do better in a next time to come, and so on.

Yeah, me too.. but probably one of each only (because 5h4rK has a tendency to be a completist)
But I hate the concept behind them..

Now bring me the unproduced Payload... Muhahahahahah!

General Hawk: Technically, G.I. Joe does not exist, but if it did, it\'d be comprised of the top men and women from the top military units in the world, the alpha dog\'s. When all else fails, we don\'t.

Now that 5h4rK said he would have bought 1 of each, I will buy 3 of each just to outdo him.  Then after he has turned green with envy, I would place them on the freebie table at the CJC, after he checked it out so he could not pick one up.

Instead of these horrors, they could've gone back to Super Joe, but in 3 3/4 form if they wanted to tackle science fiction so bad.
