Man, the MASS device has it all baby! Cool scientists, evil bad guys, spies and masquerades, tank battles, sci fi, man, I want to watch it again right now!

What awesome, awesome cartoons. The best part was their massive, world-wide scale and the thrill of continuing day to day plot.

If they do a new show, they need to keep that "on-going plot" element.

I liked them all, but gotta go with MASS Device. As the first Joe toon, it made quite an impression on me as a youngster.

As you can see, an impression that lingers 26 years later!

Revenge of Cobra

The classic scene with them fighting for the Laser Core on the ice has always stuck with me

Hm..

Well, I'm no big fan of the cartoon, and the only minis I remember well enough are the first two... but between the two, I'd go with Revenge of Cobra.
It's less stupid than MASS Device.
I mean... they needed to mindprobe Duke just to realize his special ring was gone, and that said special ring had a tracking device? And that's just one instance out of many....

Plus, Revenge of Cobra featured a lot more characters, which helped take the focus away from Dorky Duke. Flint, Lady Jaye, Roadblock, Storm Shadow, Zartan... all great classic characters.

So yeah, Revenge gets my vote.

I went with Arise Serpentor Arise, it always stood out to me as Cobra actually winning something.

Revenge of Cobra for me. Even tho it represented the first major shift toward replacing the original characters, they still figured in prominently enough. The previews of characters not out as figures 'til the next year was a real treat. That was the year they could finally do full tilt battles in all the major environments with vehicles and figures that were actually toys. Cobra finally had enough characters to fuel some serious power struggles. The big battles were awesome, what more could you want??

It's a toss up for me between MASS Device and Revenge...but Revenge got the vote. Hello! Shipwreck!

Yeah, I always thought that was hokey. Even as a kid I wondered why they didn't just track him down in the first place.
