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?
