G.I. Joe The Mass Device The Joes first became animated in a 5-part cartoon miniseries which aired in 1983. The MASS Device mini-series introduced a device that could move, well, mass to other places. COBRA used this to their own advantages, but they needed the proper elements to work the MASS Device. The series had alternate "looks" for several popular Joe characters. The Baroness did not have her black uniform with the red Cobra symbol; rather, she wore blue. Snake-Eyes wore the original uniform that he had worn with his first action figure (see below). When he appeared again in "The Revenge of Cobra," the 1985 uniform was used. Finally, Cobra Commander's mask was slightly altered, having blue underneath the silver mask rather than silver as used in the main G.I. Joe animated series. EPISODES #1 "G.I.

Joe The Revenge of Cobra (aka The Weather Dominator) The second G.I. Joe miniseries involved a contraption called the "Weather Dominator" which would be COBRA's means of revenge against the G.I. Joes. Aired in September 1984, this mini-series introduced several new Joes to the canon -- before they even had action figures! Zartan and the Dreadnoks led the pack of new baddies; and new heroes included Flint, Lady Jaye, and Roadblock. Like the first mini-series, "The Revenge of Cobra" had its own unique opening sequence that was very cool... Complete with a flaming Cobra head around the logo.

Joe movie to be released by Reel FX. The plot revolves around a new remote-control device that the Joes have in their possession. The title refers to the fact that the two opposing forces, the Joe Team and Cobra, make use of spies to achieve their objectives. Cobra sends Zartan to steal this device while the Joes also send in their own spy to the enemy camp. The movie ends in a battle royale between Joe and Cobra forces.
