Oktoberfest

The Story of the Oktober Guard – G.I. Joe’s Soviet counterpart you might have forgotten. The GI Joe Oktober Guard (aka October Guard) were more than just “the other guys” in the fight against Cobra—they were the Soviet Union’s answer to America’s elite fighting force. From their Cold War roots in the comics to their surprising roles as both rivals and allies of the Joes, this video dives into their history, their toy incarnations, and why they’ve most likely endured as fan favorites. Whether you knew them as G.I. Joe’s “forgotten rivals” or the coolest Soviet soldiers in action figure form, I believe the Oktober Guard has a story worth telling.

Rebel Radio

The Story of The TRANSFORMERS HYPE MAN BLASTER — the Autobot with the loudest personality, the deepest cuts, and maybe the biggest rivalry in the entire franchise. From toy shelves to the cartoon airwaves, and from Marvel’s gritty comics to IDW’s assassination plots, TRANSFORMERS BLASTER has been everything from a party-starting DJ to a hardened resistance leader. But did he ever truly outshine Soundwave, or was he doomed by his possible one-note personality and dated boombox alt mode? Let’s dig into the music wars, the myths, and the many faces of this fan-favorite Autobot....and why Grimlock built a special variable voltage harness just for him?

Red, White & Blue Herring

The Story of ULTRA MAGNUS TRANSFORMERS — the almost-leader, the loyal soldier, and the guy who maybe should’ve been more. In the 1986 movie, Hasbro made Rodimus Prime the chosen one, but what if they got it wrong? From toy origins as a "powered convoy", to his moments in the cartoon and comics where he shined, stumbled and just couldnt seem to beat Galvatron, I'm digging into why Ultra Magnus always seems to be second best — and whether he deserved better. Equal parts nostalgia, speculation, toy history, and a little bit of “he just couldn’t deal with that right now.”

Killing You With Science

The Story about Perceptor, the Transformers Scientist Who Became the Autobots’ Deadliest Shot. From microscope to marksman, The Transformers Perceptor has had one of the most unexpected journeys in the franchise. Once known as the mild-mannered G1 scientist who’d rather study than scrap, Perceptor has saved the day in cartoons, comics, and even the Japanese Victory series — before the IDW comics turned him into something...deadlier. I'll be digging into his evolution across media, his rare toys (including the black repaint “Magnificus”), and why this brainy bot might just be one of the most underrated Autobots ever.....oh and Circuit Breaker. Need I say more?

Talking Trash

The story of Transformers Wreck-Gar and the Junkions is one of trash, television, and maybe a little too much weirdness for some fans to handle. In the 1986 Transformers: The Movie, we meet the Junkions and their one of a kinf leader, Wreck-Gar — a planet of TV-obsessed, motorcycle-riding bots who speak entirely in commercials and pop culture references. But were these bizarre scavengers just comic relief thrown into the movie, or were they secretly Hasbro’s most clever commentary on how easily media can shape and brainwash a society? In this video, I'm diving deep into Wreck-Gar’s origins, his role in the movie and beyond, and whether the Junkions were garbage… or genius.

Feels Like Spring

The Story of Springer, the Autobot who sprung past his triple changer peers. Transformers’ Springer led the most dangerous team in Cybertron’s history and had a secret origin to boot! From his big-screen debut in the 1986 Transformers movie to his gritty IDW comic book adventures, Springer’s journey is part action hero, part mystery, and part… Han Solo with rotor blades. Whether you know him as the competent-yet-unsure Wreckers commander, the last Autobot triple changer standing, or just that cool bot Arcee definitely had a thing for, this is my ultimate deep dive into his toy history, his wildest adventures, and why Springer has earned a permanent place in the hearts (and shelves) of Transformers fans.

The Other Guys

The Story of the 1987 GI JOE Heroes that didn’t make it to Cobra-La. Crazy Legs, Psyche-Out, Outback, Fast Draw, and Sneak Peek were all released in the same year as the G.I. Joe animated movie… but somehow didn’t show up alongside Lt. Falcon, Jinx, or Big Lob. In this episode, I'll dive into these “forgotten five,” exploring their toys, filecards, comic appearances, and ry and figure out why they didn’t make the cut. Were they too grounded? Too weird? Or just unlucky? It’s time to place a spotlight on the Joes left in the shadows. Cuz any Joes who can jump out of planes, mess with your mind, shoot rockets, sneak a peek or just flat out...SURVIVE, deserve their own time to shine!

Snake Biter

The Story of GI Joe's First Green Beret - Falcon. GI Joe Falcon's story is one of big plans, bad timing, and a redemption arc involving snake spears , space spores and a drug called spark. In this episode, I'll dive deep into Hasbro’s GI Joe Green Beret golden boy Falcon—from his rather ordinary camo-clad toy shelf beginnings to his starring role (and epic f#%k-ups) in the GI Joe animated movie, plus his darker missions in the comics and the DIC series we all pretend never happened. Was he destined to lead the team into a new animated chapter or just be Duke’s screw-up half-brother who got lucky with a shotgun and a second chance? If you’re a GI Joe fan, a toy collector, or someone who remembers flipping over those cardbacks like treasure maps, this one’s for you.

Not Worth A Rat's Ass

The Story of Tunnel Rat: G.I. Joe’s Underground Legend and Larry Hama’s Legacy. The story of Tunnel Rat is more than just camo paint and a big backpack—it’s the tale of a wisecracking, gum-chewing underdog who crawled his way into our childhood memories and just might be the most personal G.I. Joe of all time. Based on the legendary Larry Hama himself, Tunnel Rat first exploded onto the scene in 1987 and never really left—appearing in cartoons, comics, and toy shelves across decades. From his roots in Vietnam-era tunnel warfare to his unforgettable animated antics (giant worm, anyone?), this deep dive celebrates the Joe who always found another way in… or out.

A Joe To Call My Own

The Story of the G.I. Joe with a Badge… and His Bomb-Sniffing Best Friend. This is the story about Law & Order—the Military Police officer and his K9 partner who patrolled both toy aisles and cartoon frames in the late '80s. From being the only Joe named Chris (a personal big deal for me), to letting his dog play fetch with live explosives, to wearing a uniform that looked like it was sponsored by a pack of Crayola markers—this Joe left a mark. We’ll sniff through his comic adventures, his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it animated moments, and all the toy versions that followed—from his oversized Sonic Fighter backpack to the glorious 30th Anniversary figure. Whether you loved the 1987 movie or just wondered what happened to the Joe with the best good boy in the business that wasn't a....mutt—this one’s for you.

Renegade Round Up

The story of Sgt.Slaughter’s Renegades and Marauders is a mix of nostalgia, mayhem, and marketing madness. Let's take a deep dive into two of G.I. Joe’s wildest sub-teams—Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades and Marauders. One made up of loose cannons and misfits, the other tried and true Joes with a color twist. Were these sub-teams bold new directions that added much-needed flavor to G.I. Joe—or was Hasbro trying a little too hard to keep things fresh? From Red Dog’s big toe blitz to Taurus’s circus spy backstory and Mercer’s "ex-Cobra" redemption arc, Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades were pure wild card energy. Meanwhile, the Slaughter's Marauders brought color coded classics to the battlefield. But were either team really that successful? Or were they all just weird experiments that ultimately went nowhere? What's your take on the Slaughter's Renegades and Marauders?
