I agree, I think the weapon might be Transformers-related. Maybe it's Nightbird or Nijika from the G1 show. That's the best guess I can think of at the moment. Outside of that, I do hope we get to see Snake Eyes again. Maybe even an origin before he loses his voice. But there are still three issues so we'll see what happens. And who knows? Maybe he might be the next mini-series.

I'm really curious how and when they'll introduce Snake Eyes. I think your idea of an origin is an interesting one! And you know, I think he could make sense as a potential mini-series...assuming Hasbro isn't taking an approach to Snake Eyes similar to what they wanted with Bumblebee...

Actually, good job with Muge no Nami (Wave of Infinity). I too feel that it may be something like Nightbird, a ningyou (doll) built from a salvaged Transformer in the past? I wouldn't be surprised having a "battle doll" fighting in the Sengoku Period.

I still think the second team may be called the Falcons, considering it's more covert based and it's what Flint's team was called in GIJOE Renegades, though their mission was to hunt down the Joes, who were more of an A-Team style team consisting of Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat, Rip Cord, and Snake Eyes

​​​@@Moonbase3hell there might be another announcement of an ongoing series(or mini)of hawks falcon team but I think that might be retain n the ongoing joe comic cuz the reason I say that is because how r they gonna balance both teams n this 1 ongoing comic series(not to mention cobra)?.and even then who would the falcon team be going up against if they did get their own ongoing series while the Joe's r fighting cobra?I would say baron ironblood or probably non-cobra members/villians from the transformers franchise that have their hands on cybertronian tech like Silas/mech or dr.arkeville. There r so many possibilities on where they can go(temporarily)with hawks falcon team and I'm here for it.

Moonbase, thank you for another great video. My only guess regarding the weapon, is the ninja bot from the G1 Transformers series. Do you think they would introduce the Head Masters this soon? That is my only other weapons guess that combines the Joe's and the Autobots. Thanks again for a fantastic overview of this comic.

@Moonbase3

Thanks for watching! I think it's a little early for Headmasters yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Nightbird at some point. Maybe even in this series, as you suggested!

Can't watch this yet as nowhere online has issue 2 fsr.

Do we think that at some point there's a separate ongoing ninja title? IDK. I saw a comment speculating what Cybertronian aspect could be involved. I also thought maybe an individual, like Yoketron. But maybe a sentient sword?

@Moonbase3

24 күн бұрын

I was wondering that as well...some sort of Ninja Force title maybe? And Yoketron would make my brain explode! I never would have thought of that!

This issue was okay, not sure why they need Scarlett to be bi-sexual, but they are definitely trying (and failing) to be subtle about it. I don't have anything against it on the face of it, but I'm not sure why it's necessary. While this creates a connection to Jinx and the extraction angle, it concerns me as a kind of deletion of Snake-Eyes in the lore we have so far. I'm not clamoring for a Snake-Eyes / Scarlett relationship - that can all be different in this reality - but I DO wonder how he will figure into the entire story if they're separating him from the Arashikage. I think this issue is slower, but better than Destro #1 - not to say ANY of these have been bad, just so far I'm not feeling it as much. I also think the announcement of G.I.Joe this November has a bit of an effect on these titles. For my money, if there's going to be a Transformers reference, it's going to be this weapon. And to keep all this 'together', there NEEDS to be at least a reference.

@Moonbase3

I agree, I really think the weapon is going to tie into Transformers in someway...but I'm confused on how it could be so important to the Arashikage that it's referred to as the "Soul of the Arashikage." I saw stuff going around online about Scarlett being gay/bi because of her closeness to Jinx, but I was skeptical because of the line where she says Jinx is like a sister to her. The significance of that line has been confirmed when Thompson shut down the possibility of a Jinx/Scarlett romance on her substack page: 1979semifinalist.substack.com/p/birds-puffs-joes-and-black-cloaks As for Snake Eyes, he could still have a connection to Arashikage - and (eventually) Scarlett. But, I can't help but wonder...with how much Skybound is drawing on the cartoon continuity, will Scarlett hook up with Duke instead of Snake Eyes?

This is the only series in the Energon-Verse I'm not liking which is odd because I always liked Scarlett and Jinx was a favorite but this comic book isn't good. Everything feels off. Snake Eyes Journey with the Arashikage was light years more interesting. I have nothing against Scarlett being Bi-Sexual but the execution feels forced, to the point where its cringe. I'll give this comic book one more try. Personally I think I'll be wasting my time but just one more. However I was never a fan of Destro but his series so far is off to an excellent start. If it fails to reel me in...always have your excellent reviews to fall on my friend.
