History and Origin of GI Joe's DARKLON! The Cousin of DESTRO

[@TheQuincyEdwards]

Do all the Dreadnoks - Ripper, Thrasher, Buzzer, Torch, Zandar, Zarana, Road Pig, Gnawgahyde, Zanzibar, and Monkeywrench. The Thunder Machine is still my favorite vehicle and pretty much the blueprint I’ll follow if there’s ever a zombie apocalypse. Remember that Dreadnok trike they had? That was dope too.

[@bryansardegna4195]

#CobraConvergenceV Great video on Darklon. Always thought he was a middle tier character at best. Keep em coming Jessie. Would like to see a video on Drednok Thrasher and General Flagg.

[@JLSComics]

Thanks for watching everyone! As a reminder, this month is Cobra Convergence and I have a contest running all month long. Just find Cobra Convergence V videos and leave the hashtag #CobraConvergenceV for your change to win a Kotobukiya Baroness statue! For more details look for my community post from the other day. My "Official" event video will premiere on 8/19/20. Thanks! -- Jesse

This is the first I have ever heard of Darklon. Intriguing character!

[@aztlanmerlin]

That dude was my favorite gijoe.

[@spineknife2386]

I love your videos. Really great content i haven't come across anywhere else on youtube. Your diction and delivery are getting to be more clear and confident as the series goes on. I hope you stick with doing these videos.

[@spacepiratejacen2258]

I used to have his figure and vehicle as a kid, I thought he was cool! Thanks for the explanded lore! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JLSComics]

Thanks Jacen !

[@spacepiratejacen2258]

You're welcome buddy!

[@maguffle]

Me too!

[@jamesh2321]

Pretty sure the figure in the Evader shown at the late 9 minute mark is a Night-Viper... That said, I had this toy and always found it odd that it would have manually operated MG's on either side of the driver... the cover showed them both firing but that would assume the driver was not actually steering his vehicle. They're meant to be removable for use by the figures but this made the small attachment peg weaken and eventually snap.

[@otiscarpenter6142]

I had Darklon & his Evader. Wish they would've brung him out in "87. Even though I got him in Xmas "90 I love it.

[@maxbrandt6]

So Darklon's helmet is surgically attached to his head, how does he eat and drink? Doesn't he have to brush his teeth and shave at some point? Is the helmet water proof, he has to shower as well. I'd think after a day or two the helmet would be unbearable, especially when he has to itch his nose!

[@ian_b]

And imagine when he gets a cold.

[@maxbrandt6]

@@ian_b Yuck! At that point any coolness factor that comes from wearing a high tech helmet goes out the door! After a while his skin would start to rot, what with all that mucus, sweat and grime under the helmet, nasty!

[@Mecha82]

Something tells me that they didn't think that trough and just went with "rule of cool". Then again even that's not true considering how silly Darklon looks.

[@maxbrandt6]

@@Mecha82 Kinda like that whole Headmasters/Targetmasters thing from Transformers. So Spike's son Daniel now becomes the head of Autobot Arcee, bullshit! He's needs to eat, sleep, use the toilet, go to school and eventually he's going to hit puberty....you know what happens then!

[@eetretsim]

Darklon is my favorite MARS member!

[@F13fan]

Night Viper was in the Evader in the Funskool box art. Guess to represent the random “Free! One Cobra Figure”

[@charlesdavis4887]

How did he eat if his mask doesn't come off??? Also, The other figure used on the Evader's box art was a Night Viper.

[@themerchantinblack6157]

probably a liquid diet.

[@jws1341]

Great video super interesting. I did not remember this character at all. Thanks for doing this.

[@robertokratosrage102]

Awesome video! One of my faves characters growing up!

[@Qardo]

Darklon named a country after himself. Yeah, it may be egotistical but really. The ego department is completely dominated by one man. Doctor Doom. Even then Doom's country is not even named after him. Yet he has a holiday named after him "Doom's Day". It is either celebrated on either his birthday or whenever he wants it to happen. All you need is Doom. Doom is the greatest. He better be in that new Avenger game. He better be. And he better be awesome. Doom demands it. DOOM!

[@gabebx4038]

Huge fan have the complete DVD collection seen every single episode never knew destroy had a cousin must be a comic thing only

[@destoker]

Really like the shot at 5:05 ! Wish i could play dr. Mindbender!

[@satior420]

Not one I know about but found this very insightful!! A great month to learn all about the Cobra side of things! #CobraConvergenceV

[@lennyalcina4340]

I dunno how you do it but you always make it interesting and awesome and I'm always looking for the next one, simply one is not enough for me, still, excellent job my friend

[@CobbicusPrime]

I wonder is he is also related to Lady Jaye?

[@dragonweyr44]

3:15 Even Dr Doom didn't name the country after himself 7:11 Strange that he's using a cold war era Dragonov sniper rifle instead of a more modern MARS made rifle

[@honorguard7616]

may been preference

[@philhatfield2282]

Darklon is completely unhindered by many things, including eating, drinking, and aging.

[@jeremygregorio7472]

Is there anyone in that family that isn't evil? I believe in the goldfish is committed some atrocities

[@grumpyorgre2336]

He's really name isn't bubbles it's general carnage and he's the mind of a brutal warcrimnal transferred into a goldfishs body after he went on the run from utrom council,the world criminal court ,the shadow proclamation and MI6 and MOSSAD after it was revealed that he was responsible for the great unicorn 🦄 geocide of '89 alongside Josef mengles,the invisible Man, Darth Vader and Dr mindbender,as well as crossbones and Czech war criminals and that he was bff's with Carmen sandiego, Brixton, the people who killed John Wick's dog,Joe chill, Ra's Al ghul, Al Capone,Al Capones hairdresser and Pablo Escobar and that he was the butcher of Buchenwald as well as

[@hthrun]

Wasn't there an episode that alluded to Destroy being a distant relative of Lady Jaye?

[@lensweet452]

That was night viper in the vehicle

[@zebrapetey9746]

I am enjoying the month of COBRA 😎🇨🇦

[@bdscavenger]

the next gi joe movie should be about the iron grenadiers

[@RecoilCDS]

Where are you finding the action force dossiers?

[@legendarytoys]

Cool video bro

[@ikabakhmorane8272]

More like "Lord Helmet" from Spaceballs....🤭🥴😃😄😅😂🤣😁

[@Tigerkaya]

He's back

[@Fulcrumshift]

I still have my Darklon figure. Unfortunately, like half of my 'Joes that i own, the rubber band holding him together broke.

[@yellowmartian]

Easy fix, just buy a new o-ring and a small Phillips head screw driver.

[@votefrmtherooftops3123]

The senate does not need your help , do not give them your money! They are all wealthy and can afford to fund themselves

[@danielherrin]

Hasn't everyone had their helmet surgically attached?

[@NavyVet4955]

I was born with my helmet. The wife really likes it.

[@viktorkarrillo7343]
