1 | * ActingForTwo: There are only four voice actors, so this was inevitable. |
2 | ** Creator/CharlieAdler voices Flint, Stalker, Gung-Ho, the Hard Master (credited as "Uncle"), and Cobra Commander. |
3 | ** Creator/SteveBlum voices Duke, Roadblock, Ripcord, Doc, Wild Bill, and Zartan. |
4 | ** Creator/GreyDeLisle voices Scarlett, Cover Girl, Dial-Tone, and the Baroness. |
5 | ** Creator/EricBauza voices Tunnel Rat, Destro, and Storm Shadow. |
6 | * UncreditedRole: Snake-Eyes' voice actor for the flashback to the Hard Master's assassination was uncredited. |
7 | * ActorAllusion: Creator/CharlieAdler (Cobra Commander) once again fills in for the late Chris Latta as an [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers iconic]] [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries Hasbro]] [[TheStarscream villain]]. |
8 | * ExecutiveVeto: Warren Ellis originally planned for Cobra Commander to obliterate Beijing, but the Hasbro executives shot that down. They were OK with destroying Moscow though. |
9 | ** FridgeBrilliance suggests this was to avoid offending China -- ''where Hasbro's toys are made.'' |
10 | * FakeNationality: Given four voice actors were involved, it was inevitable, but it also lapses into Fake Race as well. |
11 | ** Creator/CharlieAdler (Jewish-American) voiced Hard Master (Japanese) and Stalker (African-American). |
12 | ** Creator/SteveBlum (also Jewish-American) voiced Ripcord, Doc, Roadblock, and Zartan (the former three African-American, the latter one Australian[[note]]though one of his earlier file cards identified Zartan as French[[/note]]). |
13 | ** Creator/GreyDeLisle (Dutch/French/Irish/Mexican/Norwegian-American) as the Baroness (Russian). |
14 | ** Creator/EricBauza (Filipino-Canadian-American) voice Destro (Caucasian-Scottish), Storm Shadow (Japanese) and Tunnel Rat (Chinese-American). |
15 | * HistoryRepeats: Cobra Commander was voiced by Chris Latta in [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero the original series]], who also voiced Starscream in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', and Latta famously used the same high-pitched, screechy voice for both characters. Here, Cobra Commander is voiced by Creator/CharlieAdler, the voice of Starscream in the [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries Transformers films]], and Adler likewise uses practically the same voice for both Starscream and the Commander. |
16 | * ItAmusedMe: Literally Creator/WarrenEllis's [[http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=7227 answer to why]] Dial Tone [[GenderFlip got changed into a woman]] after Hasbro insisted the tech who talks to Gung-Ho be a named Joe. |
17 | * PlayingAgainstType: Creator/CharlieAdler (who usually plays high-voiced wimps, effete losers, little girls, and smug, smarmy jerks in more comedic fare) as Cobra Commander (a character whose actions aren't played for laughs and is an actual threat[[note]]at least in this incarnation. The 1980s version where Cobra Commander was voiced by Chris Latta/Christopher Collins wasn't this way at all, mostly due to ExecutiveMeddling[[/note]]). This wasn't the first time he's voiced a main character in a serious action series either- he previously was Low-Light from the original Sunbow series(Who he does not voice, because the sniper doesn't appear in Resolute), and was Chance/T-Bone in ''WesternAnimation/SwatKats''. He later plays Commander again in ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades''. |
