History and Origin of GI Joe's TORPEDO!

[@kratoscraken5614]

TORPEDO!! Always been a fan of the SEAL Teams and all of G.I.Joe's elite ops. Hell yea! 🇺🇸👍💪

[@dinomonzon7493]

Torpedo was my very first G. I. Joe action figure. I much preferred him over both Shipwreck and Wetsuit (who looked more like a civilian diver than a US Navy SEAL). Its a shame that he, like Stalker or Cover Girl got little to do in the cartoons.

[@brycevo]

Hawaii represent! Glad to see a Hawaiian in GI Joe

[@paulleyharris7851]

Torpedo was the first GI Joe figure that I bought I also wanted to join the Navy and become a US Navy Seal

[@aolcom-nl9qb]

The first actually Navy Seal on the team,but not likely to have or need a spear gun for any reason, I like the new classfied character, it's the real deal.

[@seanagone]

Love this series. Considering the current state of affairs, a History and Origin of AIRTIGHT seems appropriate.

[@joeblaster8770]

Yep.

[@Ubermentsh]

as a kid I remember purchasing this figure from my local Toys r Us. When I got in the parking lot I realized he had two left arms😂

[@sodajerkclassic]

I like Torpedo as he was my very first GI Joe figure. Cheers!

[@thekalaoakidd]

Cheee-hoo!....Always loved Chief Leialoha. The only SeAL on the 'Joe Team',and the only Kanaka.

[@kealunleday3948]

Wetsuit was a seal too

[@grail25]

1st time in my life I heard about SEAL's was with that character.

[@paulleyharris7851]

Same here.

[@jessem317]

Poor guy didn’t get enough respect. Hasbro should have made 2 variants of torpedo (one land & one sea)

[@terrencechilds8984]

I'd like to hear something about the dreadknots now

[@iceman7763]

Awesome keep up the good work. Do Cutter

[@torpedo8384]

The challenge coin Torpedo gives the Burkhart family in #206 takes its' design cues from the GI Joe 50th anniversary coin created for the GI Joe convention and was a gesture of Torpedo's respect for the doctor's bavery and strength of her convictions.

[@localbody3840]

Thanks for the info! I just pre ordered this figure on Amazon. Looks so cool.

[@samuelfawley646]

I don't have the Torpedo figure but I have a lot of the vehicles mentioned including the Toss 'N' Cross Bridge Layer, the Dragonfly helicopter, and the APC which I put in which I put a lot of my favorite G.I.Joe figures in which I have Duke diving and Scarlett riding shotgun, on the side behind the passenger seat or where Scarlett is sitting, I have Rock 'N' Roll, Grunt, Breaker, Airtight, Barbecue, Footloose, Bazooka, and Alpine! On the driver's side behind Duke I have Roadblock, Gung Ho, Stalker, Doc, Recondo, Mutt and Junkyard, Ricpcord, and Blow Torch!

[@KingKong-fj4dk]

Thank you for doing a Torpedo vid!! Him and Wet-suit are my favorite Joes!!

[@Metsfan2011]

I’m really loving your videos. I’d love to see you tackle Mutt & Junkyard if you haven’t already

[@Baseballpit3795]

My favorite joe

[@FnRenner]

Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@dragonweyr44]

Torpedo's file card says his rank is warrant officer 4 but in the history it says he's a lieutenant, which is it? Also, if he's a SEAL, then why is it he never had a mission on land or air and always alone, not part of a team? 4:57 I wonder how a dog can ride on the skids of a helicopter? 5:47 And WHY is Snowjob wearing a parka in the Florida Everglades? 6:06 Where is Torpedo here? Please do Snowjob

[@systemshockcomics3542]

G.I. Joe just dug out out mine from the comic basement

[@ikeb9367]

Still waiting on LT Falcon

[@dirus3142]

Silly fan cannon I thought of. Falcon is really Gotham mob boss Falcone's nephew.

[@AnthonySforza]

Oh man, no cover from Special Missions #1, with him and Wetsuit?

[@eeeisme7946]

Hey can you do a vid on Bombstrike? I'd actually like to learn more about her being that I've never seen her before.

[@Homeschoolsw6]

My 1st Joe. Thanks.

[@solaceboy]

Can you please do one on Lifeline?

[@dirus3142]

The first few years of GI Joe has my favorite characters. They have specialties that really work with each other. Torpedo added a lot to the team being a frogman/SEAL. It was a start to a great core of navy characters. Sadly in the IDW Hama run fellow SEAL Wet suit does not show up.

[@lennyalcina4340]

Wow, one of if not the original scuba diver operative then came Deep Six and later Wet Suit, if they make a reboot it would be nice to see him being recruited to the team

[@mattelder1971]

FYI, the Navy has ratings, not MOS. Those not in the Navy might often refer to ratings as an MOS, but it isn't actually correct.

[@ghostwarrior3878]

I have to say torpedo wetsuit deep six are just in a list of my favorite GI Joe characters mostly because with these three they're all water-based and my passion and hobby is scuba diving I'm also a swimmer I've been doing it since I was a kid, And considering some of these fictional characters backgrounds, its made me consider enlisting as well, either navy. Or coast guard is where i want to go.

[@mauricehooks320]

DO SCARFACE!!!!ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHO HE WAS AND HIS PART IN CORBA!!!

[@jonnybridin]

Awesome video as always! Requesting Shockwave.

[@jamesschulziii9098]

Love his appearance with wetsuit in yearbook 4. We should have gotten figures of them in that gear.

[@FenrirFire18]

One hell of a Joe, and an even greater action figure, that's who!

[@bewareofwil]

0:41 It's the USS Arizona, not Missouri.

[@torpedo8384]

Actually both USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri Memorial are at Pearl Harbor. Missouri serves overwatch duty for the Arizona.

[@antwan1357]

You just gave me an idea for a kryptonian who prefers to be underwater. I'm gonna talk to someone else about a brainstorming idea . The worst that can happen is I get rejected.

[@keithpowell1902]

Could you do one on Dreadnocks individually in the future?

[@ghostwarrior3878]

2:36, Nice to see the pic from the Combat Squad line of figures, they were recolored and recycled Sigma six figures, with this torpedo. Being a re tooled and colored snake eyes. I have this figure, and i like it for what it is.

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

Seeing alot of Sea or Naval-type G.I. Joe character such as "Shipwreck","Wet-Suit", and "Torpedo" has even inspired me to make a G.I. Joe character of my own, my Joe character's codename will be "Rain Barrel" and not only that he'll be a Naval Scout but also a boxer too since his fists would be stronger than pistols when I also give him blue light-colored Power gloves based on the same Power gloves but in green color that Heavy Duty wears from one of my favorite G.I. Joe guilty pleasures called "Sigma 6" even Rain Barrel's jet boat vehicle "Tsunami" would also be based on Sigma 6 Duke's Thunderwave Jet Boat vehicle as well, 2 more best parts about Rain Barrel is that like Luffy from One Piece, I'd be giving him a straw hat and he'd also be good friends with Scarlett and Snake Eyes since I also thought they wouldn't mind a 3rd partner after all. Nothing wrong with being a creative G.I. Joe fan am I right? :)

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Don't forget Deep Six. DS was only picked because he held his breath 🤿 the longest.

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

@@DavidLLambertmobile Nice, and yeah him too lol.

[@jdsrcs8061]

Freaking AWESOME!!! I still have that c64 game!!!

[@delmarchipperson2049]

The checkerboard floor was weird

[@OMGIMSAVINCLIP]

Question will you be making a video on wet down

[@RecoilCDS]

Well done. Would be tits if you could do two videos a week, while most of us are stuck at home.

[@michaelmetler6315]

[@ironwork92000]

I lived on Hawaii. And aiea is just too crowded

[@skyden24195]

Wait, wait, wait... G.I.Joe originates as/of the concept, but re-designated, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.....ok.... so does that make Superman an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D?

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@bdscavenger]

can you do a video on admiral ledger?

[@jerryrice2752]

My wife’s uncle Stevie.

[@searchbar83]

Apparently when you go up in rank in the G.I.Joe task force, you also change ethnicity.

[@previnlubom4498]

Do one on kwinn the mercenary & Scarface

[@gonzalosirera7103]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jamesmoss3424]

Hawaiian are the best in the war.

[@spartanwarrior1]

Hawaiian koa rule!

[@stumbler10462]

so glad they didnt keep the nickname "Pedo" for him like they called him in his first TV appearance

[@raulcoronado6024]

👍👍👍👍👍👌🙏

[@ArshesNei8]

5:31 "Haole" is a derogatory term for White person.

[@jasonboyett8867]

As a haole person living in Honolulu, it’s not necessariley derogatory, it just means outsider. But it has been used as a negative description for white people by ignorant jackasses on the islands
