Memorable Quotes[]

"That man has the constitution of a vending machine!"

--Cobra Commander, after Sgt. Slaughter quickly recovers from the DNA extraction process.

"Hey, why didn't you tell me you were using me as a decoy for violence?"
"'Cause I didn't want you to say no."

--Lifeline and Beach Head

"Know that I am the one you seek. I am the one born to rule, destined to conquer. Let those who fear me, follow me. Let those who oppose me ... DIE! For I am Serpentor ... and this I command!"

--Serpentor introduces himself.

Notes[]

Animation and Technical Errors[]

  • At 20:47, Mainframe can be seen next to himself.

Continuity Errors[]

  • When running down the list of of targets that they were unaware of, Hawk says that Cobra stole "the ashes of Julius Caesar," then follows that up with "Lord know what Cobra wants with them." In the previous episode, Doc and Lifeline presented him with a lengthy dissertation about how Cobra was using the DNA to build a super soldier.
  • After extracting Sgt. Slaughter's DNA, Tomax and Xamot unchain him and leave him in his cell. Sgt. Slaughter then escapes easily.

Miscellaneous Notes[]

  • The casualty report that Duke and Beach Head give to Hawk states that there were no fatalities among the Joe forces. Even mentioning the possibility of death for the characters is a big deal for the cartoon, given the "no deaths" rule imposed on the production.
  • Why was Sgt. Slaughter placed in electro-chains, inside the laboratory? Why not place him in a cell with guards? Him being chained in the lab, directly leads to his destroying his DNA sample.
  • This episode features more screen time than ever before for the Cobra characters, with Cobra Commander receiving the highest amount of screen time in the series to date. The episode is heavily focused on the dynamics and shifting loyalties within Cobra, with the Joes only making a small appearance.
