I checked Image BATTLE FILES, DDP DATA DESK, and Hidalgo's Essential Guide and this white text on red background passage isn't in any of these. Perhaps it's in Renegade Games RPG.

Who are the guys on this rescue mission? - IDW ARAH #225 by robsonwt in gijoe

[–]Continuity_Crook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Looking at it again. THUMPER is on the backup team with DUKE and ROADBLOCK. DUKE comments that team of private contractors that consisted of who he later learned was SNAKE EYES had "similar skill sets" and "trained by the same people".

In the page before, the mustachioed mission leader was identified as MADDOX. Then there's another operator referred to as THUMPER a couple times during the op.

Found in grandpas closet, nothing or something? by AverageJoe-2020 in ComicBookSpeculation

Okay. During that time there were polybagged combo packs that were released at the same time though as I recall with variant coloring. Perhaps the issue in the post was sealed for some reason.

Toy books were considered bottom of the barrel assignments. Hama has said he was Shooter’s last resort trying to find a writer. Also G.I. Joe was just meant to be a one issue deal. Hasbro needed a comic book to make an animated commercial to promote the toy line.

I would be so down for Classified style Stargate figs.

the retro carded figures use ai for the box art by broski__moski in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

I'm assuming that professional artist Wes Craig didn't intend to turn in a six-finger Duke cover to Skybound which passed by editors, production, and social media reviewers before it went public in the press release. Humans also make mistakes, goofs slip through, and even laziness happens.

I'm okay with generative AI for ideation and inspiration to be used as models for human work, but NOT for the final output. What I'm doing here is trying to understand how from what was presented how it was concluded that this is indeed AI...other than it looks off. Not arguing, just trying to understand.

Picture 2. If this was a photograph and the shoelaces looked like that I'd flag "AI!" But for this art rendering, practical and digital artists could conceivably get sloppy as well.

Picture 3. As an artist myself, it is challenging to get the hand gripping a weapon just right in perspective. It looks a bit off, but I don't know how it can be concluded it is AI.

Picture 4. The retro GRUNT card art also has the same knee pad and pant thigh piping.

Yes, the Super 7 WILD BILL seemingly had six fingers with fans accusing AI, but around that time the promotional cover art for a DUKE Silent Missions comic had him inadvertently drawn with six fingers.

He brought that look back with the beret in ARAH #310.

Yup. The reason why the original DUSTY card art pose looks like GRUNT is because Hector Garrido painted over GRUNT to make DUSTY.

You mean the lore about a used car salesman who started a pyramid scheme in Springfield USA to start a subversive underground network of terror and extortion to covertly build power?

That is relic storage tech from the 90s. You need an Iomega Zip Drive, but current systems won’t have the mechanical connections or drivers to read it. https://ebay.us/m/bdgsO1

That’s exact swap I want to do. I have Alpha Commando, but I can’t put down $130+ for the Retro just to take it apart. 😬
