I know this is its full, official title, but I doubt the one that will be spoken the most, or shown in marketing. If the characters' article titles go by their call-signs, shouldn't MARS Industries as well? 75.165.27.12 05:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- As far as I know, "Industries" was not part of its name. --Destron Commander 08:39, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Well see, this is for the movie. It's a different beast. Not trying to argumentative, just desiring highest quality. Would my original write-up still be okay, with the title 'M.A.R.S. Industries'? 75.165.27.12 15:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- We'll keep MARS since that was as is originally known. I don't even recall the word "Industries" being part of the name. Where did that come from? --Destron Commander 01:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- It's in marketing for TROC movie. 75.165.27.12 04:05, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Split?[]
Looking at what links here, there's a lot from the comics (many links predating any article at this location) and Destro's organisation is a key part of the storylines there. Would it be best to split the article down RAH and Movie lines or have a combined article detailing the common features? Timrollpickering 18:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
- For now, how about a common article with separate sections for each? We'll see what info we come up with, and if the differences are drastic enough, we can split them apart then (and fix the links as we go). --buttbutt 01:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, here's a suggestion: write the introductory paragraph as if it's talking about a real-world business, the sort of blithe chatter seen on company press releases and websites - something generic enough to suit any version of MARS. Then go into the fictional appearances once we break it into sections. --buttbutt 06:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

On subject related to just what this company should be called, part of the body currently reads: "The Military Armaments Research Syndicate and this company were created..."
So, wait. What's the Military Armaments Research Syndicate if it isn't M.A.R.S. Industries? - Caswin 03:15, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I think it's just bad writing. M.A.R.S. is M.A.R.S. --buttbutt 05:02, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Righto. One other question: Is this page about M.A.R.S. Industries across various G.I. Joe media, like the current Cobra page? Parts of it seem to be describing the M.A.R.S. of the movie, which is the one I'm most familiar with, but the "History" section describes it funding and supplying Cobra as a separate entity. I've already been confused a few times already trying to edit it. - Caswin 21:41, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
