Of which, remains thee largest toy of the line. It has also become one of thee most coveted and sought-after item among 80s nostalgia and toy collectors today.

Joe comics, IDW, now features more stories, a greater role, and an entire issue (G.I. Joe: Origins 7) dedicated to the popular G.I. Joe computer specialist, Mainframe.
- Ooookay. What? I really don't know what this is supposed to mean. Why is the announcement of sequel writers related to this episode?--buttbutt 03:45, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
Wernick and Reese's writing sensibilities of melding horror and laughter (Zombieland) is being compared to the Shakespearean tradition of melding comedy with tragedy. Because of this, fans are pointing to the "Computer Complications" episode for it too is very Shakespearean in a Romeo & Juliet way also using both comedy / tragedy. Of which, fans would like to see Wernick and Reese translate to the big screen. Perhaps fans want to see this used for movie material because of Shipwreck's own comment on watching the FLAGG blow-up is like watching a "real big budget (movie) spectacular finish!" Indeed, like Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (where both were sent to their graves) the Mainframe & Zarana comedy / tragedy also resulted in two big deaths - the blowing-up of two big carriers on both sides being sent to their watery graves. Many fans do want to see the Flagg too turn into toy-form once again, and pointed to this episode's potential movie material. Many other fans are simply excited Wernick and Reese are onboard and found the very Shakesperean "Computer Complications" to best match the Wernick and Reese style of melding comedy / tragedy.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.230.192.115 (talk • contribs).
- Okay, that makes more sense, then. Anyway, feel free to keep expanding this article - take a look at The Gamesmaster or Cobra C.L.A.W.s Are Coming to Town to see what constitutes a "finished" episode article (not that those are completely done, but you'll get the idea).
