** The later episodes of season 2 reveal that Cobra regrets creating Serpentor and are returning to Cobra Commander. But because the movie was released before season 2, Serpentor is back in charge and everyone hates Cobra Commander. Season 3 does pick this back up, having Cobra Commander return and get rid of Serpentor once and for all.

* AnAesop: The two-parter "The Greatest Evil" was another episode with a DrugsAreBad moral. It realistically demonstrates the consequences of drug addiction by having Falcon's addiction to [[FantasticDrug spark]] drive a wedge between him and his half-brother Duke, a Cobra member's sister ending up in a coma, and the villain the Headman meeting his end from [[KarmicDeath overdosing on his own drug]].

* GladiatorGames: Combra Commander and Destro have Duke fight in one of these in the second episode, "Slave of the Cobra Master". It's crossed with a video game, as the combatants are being controlled by joysticks they're holding, and Destro (controlling Duke) wins by allowing Duke to fight on his own.
Added DiffLines:
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When Cobra Commander and Destro have a duel using mind-controlled combatants in "Slave of the Cobra Master", CC has a giant brute, and Destro has Duke. Destro wins by ''not'' controlling Duke, knowing that the man's expert combat training will more than compensate for his opponent's size and strength.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Vehicular equivalent of this trope. Some vehicles on both sides were based on real ones at the time, like G.I. Joe's M.O.B.A.T., based on the MBT-70, a prototype which never saw action in real-life. Their Skystriker was also clearly the now retired F-14 Tomcat, with a different paintjob. Cobra's Rattler was less of one, only having a passing resemblance to the A-10 Thunderbolt/Warthog.

** Cobra Commander switches between his hooded and helmeted appearances between episodes, though at least one episode depicted him switching between the two (in heavy shadow), so it's more a personal (read: animator's) choice. Very roughly, he wears his helmet in the field, and his hood while in a base.
** One infamous layering error from "Primordial Plot" results in a T-Rex and Triceratops ''phasing'' through a wall.
