what I learned from the MASS Device series


Premature panic is the sign of an immature mind.

The MASS device is not a toy for your amusement

Radiation poisoning can be cured with leaves and herbs...and disposed of safely in a fireplace.

Don't get out of your pressure suit.

Liquid filters fumes

Cover Girl was better looking as a blonde.

You can fool people on a teleconference using small model tanks

A crossbow can be used to keep a plane from crashing

feel free to add your own.

Agreed.

For the life of me, I don't know why they made her a redhead when they already had one. She looks like a short haired Scarlett. And in certain distance shots, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them. She should have stayed a blonde.

what happened to those Cobra shock troops that were transported up to the relay satellite to protect it from the G.I. Joe's homemade rocket? the scarcity of the elements for the MASS device wasn't a secret. They have to know that either there isn't enough resources to transport them back or that there's so little that Cobra isn't going to bother. So if I'm a shock troop, I'd be asking...uhm...you got a rocket to go up there and get us back?



and btw. wtf. is up with that home made rocket that their Jeep driver Clutch helped them make. they have more technology than anyone else in the world and a 1980's military budget. you'd think they'd have a better rocket available than something mcguyvered together.

I learned that Duke's homing device ring is only useful if people remember that it exists, which only seems to happen at a dramatically significant moment.

And I learned in the Pyramid of Darkness that leopard seals like to eat people.
