Imagine if the Baroness had replaced the COBRA logo on her chest with Destro's golden knife one. The action figure would've been the #1 seller.

[@Jtr_ceral_killer]

I liked the Iron Grenedier line. It gave Destro free reign to develop his own stuff. The big drawback was that Scrap Iron wasn't included in the line for the 1st year.

[@MacDowin]

Unfortunately Scrap-Iron was never officially part of the Iron Grenadiers.

[@Jtr_ceral_killer]

@@MacDowin he should have been since he was a product and armament designer for Destro. A missed opportunity

[@dubuyajay9964]

Or Baroness. :(

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

mmm, good job bro, you re a real reference, pro ; theeeey re baaaaack! yep, classifieds, I skipped Destro to get this version, gold! not only by colour, but having his own army is a very cool move from Hasbro I can t wait to see what he looks like.... those latest versions of troops with capes, I remember them, just f... fab! I m going for essentials, and this helps thanks man! so now you know... good show bro

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

How many iron grenadiers were in a squad? The new iron grenadiers for the GI Joe classified series Cobra I'm trying to put together a squad of them once they are available for purchase...

[@ericsonofjames4573]

I might be wrong, but I thought General Mayhem was from MASK as GI Joe brought in Matt Trakker as a cross promotion figure.

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

But I'm seriously looking forward to a iron Grenadier huge Squad with the grenadiers and the new Iron Grenadier bats and whatever else they decide to make afterwards

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

My favorite squads were the python vipers and that's what I concentrated my collection on

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

Awesome Review You Are very knowledgeable in the Cobra Joe universe

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

I'm hoping later they make Cobra Destro himself as a iron Grenadier as he once was and all his commanders under him and maybe a vehicle or two

[@sexcorpio6976]

Iron grenadiers were a badass nemesis army

[@MacDowin]

They were pretty awesome. Had some awesome characters in the mix too. I wish tehy had been more developed

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

I'm not real familiar with the iron grenadiers I was always just all about the Vipers

[@WrestlingWithDerek]

Absolutely fantastic!!

[@dubuyajay9964]

Link to part 2 plz?

[@MacDowin]

The link should be at the end of the video. It’s also the next video I released.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

Awesome video tbh for me though I'm not interested in anything after 1990 I love the vintage IGs

[@sabumnimphillips]

Unfortunately a lot of this line was just throw together for no reason. Nullifier was supposed to be a Cobra-La pilot.

[@MacDowin]

Yep.

[@justinsixx90]

Darklon has been a favorite figure of mine since I was a kid!! Also voltage is awesome with a repaint and different head!!

[@MacDowin]

Hoping we see them both in Classified in the next year or two. The Evader would be an easy small vehicle for Hasbro to do.

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

Good review

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

👍👍👍

[@ToddWhite-oc9il]

Cooooooobraaaaaaa

[@victorcolon1454]

The Nullifier uniform and Darklon's Evader were originally supposed to be designs from Cobra-La.

[@OnionSavoya]

Yo bro! You better cut out all that scary talking shit bro. I will report this!

[@MacDowin]

Huh?

[@MacDowin]

Maybe you can let me know what is scary?

[@OnionSavoya]

@@MacDowin The way you said " iron grenades" at the begining. Knowing I'm all sensitive and shit.

[@MacDowin]

@OnionSavoya ah, ok.

[@General_Klytus]

Great Video

[@MacDowin]

Thank you.

[@legovampire5564]

The arctic lion looks cool

[@MacDowin]

It does. Missed oppertunity.
