[@lonesquiff6551]

I've always had a soft spot for Dusty since he was the first GI Joe figure I ever had. I had thought him lost for years but then one day he turned up in the flowerbed outside.Thanks for the video!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

He's one underrated character.

[@altarush]

I am from El Paso. I love Dusty.

[@TheCohesiveGarage]

Dusty was awesome. I started writing my name on my school papers as Dusty and telling people my name is Dusty in the first grade. I kept that all the way through high School. Then I went back to the name my parents gave me.

[@DavidWCooke]

The "Traitor" episode helped to make Dusty a fan favorite. I'm surprised you didn't spend more time on that.

[@ghostbusterguy20011]

I was wondering that myself

[@Biorythym]

ahn but if he did that, they would have to add the episode where he teamed up with Footloose to rescue/compete for the affections of a scientist Cobra captured

[@johnnyilg838]

Dusty is and has always been in my top five favorite Joe's. He really is a badass. Great video.

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Same and he's quite good wearing mudflaps camo, You see marines in the Pacific wearing these in WW2 on Peleliu and Tinian

[@ReaverPrime]

I really liked Dusty v3. The simplicity of it kind of spoke to me and stood out in 91's lineup of wild and colorful figures (Snow Serpent, Incinerators, Eco Warriors). He and Cobra BAT v2 were my favorite figures from 91 (BAT v2 is my favorite of all time). As a former soldier who deployed to the Middle East and whose last duty station was Ft Bliss, I can say that life in the desert isn't nearly as bad as people may think. I personally loved it. Without humidity, 100 degree heat is alot more tolerable. Please, think of the bugs. In a place like Virginia, there are lots of bugs and they are small and annoying. In the desert, there are far fewer bugs and the ones that are there are much bigger, meaning easier to avoid or kill.

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Upmost respect dude, You were in the Army huh and what unit

[@jakeproven256]

In the cartoon Dusty was actually called Ronald Rudat when the reporter calls him as such.

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

Hector Ramirez, who was their version of Geraldo Rivera said that.

[@jakeproven256]

Derrick Threex yes

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

@@jakeproven256 both were voiced by Neilson Ross.

[@jakeproven256]

Derrick Threex I knew Neil Ross voiced dusty, shipwreck, Thunder, buzzer, and heavy metal but i didn’t know he voiced hector Ramirez to cool trivia.

[@zebrapetey9746]

Bazooka! C'mon man, I forget how much I love these guys. This series is so much fun. 😎🇨🇦

[@magnuslauglo5356]

Dusty is one of my favorite Joes. Thanks for the excellent review!

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Same and also an infantryman in desert combat

[@energicko]

Dusty, Footloose and Beachead were funny as hell. Thank you!

[@AslanAtreyu]

I also thought Bazooka was funny too

[@energicko]

@@AslanAtreyu Don't forget Quickick. 😂

[@JTManuel]

My first GI Joe action figure!

[@cowboyquebecanimations3068]

Am i the only one who thinks of Owen Wilson playing dusty in the movies

[@jaylengyel992]

Cowboy Quebec Animations good choice but they need to make better movies

[@falconone7230]

My favorite action figure as a child

[@sonicmagnus5312]

Dusty, taught me to put reflectors on the Mongoose !

[@diamondsandgold1993]

Please keep these deep, character lore videos coming!!! :)

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Dusty is also my favorite alongside Alpine, He wears mudflaps camo that used in the Pacific War of WWII and Korean War

[@dean4125]

Dusty is one of my top 3 joes alongside Footloose and Lowlight.

[@yalaa6648]

Dusty is my favorite

[@PrincessAmi9756]

I didn't remember anything about this character, except I really liked him, when I was a kid.

[@theonlymatthew.l]

Woot! Now I can stop asking for a video on Dusty!! Tyvm 👍

[@campbellrule5728]

Another reason why I keep coming back mate. Excellent research made for a excellent video

[@zebrapetey9746]

One of my top 10 favorite Joe's. Thank you for this series JLS 😎🇨🇦

[@keithpowell1902]

Could you do one on Dr. Mindbender?

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Hey I was wondering when are we going to have a video about Duke more importantly are we ever going to have a video about Storm shadow

[@walterarchie5388]

Dusty , I think he was always an fan favorite

[@zebrapetey9746]

Airtight! OMG- another top 10 favorite 😎🇨🇦

[@pablovargas7078]

My father's favorite joe

[@Nomadunlimited]

Thanks a lot for this!I hope hasbro also makes Thunderwing figure to go along with Dusty they just made months ago

[@KingKong-fj4dk]

Well done. But I'm still waiting on Torpedo and Wet-suit bios

[@cobraisland2594]

You forgot the Dusty figure that came with the Arise, Serpentor, Arise DVD pack

[@yalaa6648]

Loved Dusty

[@FnRenner]

Would you please consider doing a Wild Bill video soon?

[@chamberlain13zb]

I love these videos, keep it going 👊👏👏

[@terrancechilds3049]

Think you so very much from all of your friends in cobra.

[@Christophernorbits]

You can hear a little bit of "shipwreck" in his voice.

[@dustydurant2746]

This character has the same name as me my name is also dusty even if dusty is not his real name

[@lennyalcina4340]

How about William S. Hardy aka Wild Bill?

[@gijoburg]

Any speculation on where/how he became a linguist?

[@lalaagee8115]

Dusty was my favorite

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Same, He likely fought during the Iraq War in 2003 which Saddam was toppled

[@jakeproven256]

I didn't see Dusty in G.I.Joe yearbook #2.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@ghostbusterguy20011]

Dusty was one of my favorites as a kid but I never heard of tadur before in my life isn't it rudat wasn't it always rudat wtf ? Is this a Mandela effect? Strange always thought even mention his name as rudat even on the file card. This is weirding me out dude lol

[@adamsifford6228]

He was my favorite too other than Snakeyes and StormShadow. They made him act stupid on cartoon tho.

[@nieshapatterson2902]

I didn't realize serpentor was all about biblical antichrist comming into power.

[@woozertoo]

Game Over YEAH

[@robertmckinnon7003]

I liked Dusty. But, I thought he looked dorky.

[@magaz]

How did you not call this one “Whodat Rudat?” Haha

[@jamesmoss3424]

Give him some respect and he should be in all the time.

[@manuelhernandez6801]

Mounting medical bills makes him join cobra. Sanders 2020. Get Dusty some Universal Health Care.

[@bobbyrne8591]

Yeah because the VA is so good? No

[@manuelhernandez6801]

@@bobbyrne8591 VA doesn't have UHC... If it did, Dusty could have moved there and pay his bills. Think about it Cobra has better health coverage than American hero's... No wonder they never went broke and still afford all those weapons.

[@altarush]

I thought Cobra commander was kinda racist believing Dusty over his loyal black lieutenant and the Those twins who abandoned him. It was that black lieutenant who saved the commander from getting captured.

[@karlanthonymargate7362]

Famas?

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Yes, Dusty also may have fought with the Foreign Legion

[@acezanders1715]

killing snake eyes for good was the dumbest thing to do in all comics worst idea ever .............👎👎👎👎👎

[@TBustah]

If he was born (and seemingly raised) in Las Vegas, why does he have that accent? He’s from southern Nevada, not the southern USA. I’m from western Nevada, I visited Elko (in the far north) once, and I’ve been to Clark County many times. As far as I can tell, the only people in Nevada who talk like Dusty are transplants, not people who have lived there their whole lives.

[@cobrageneral556]

Like,thanksss for information.I am firssst.
