They'll fight for freedom wherever there's Chaos, G.I. Joe is there! G.I. Joe! Fake Imperial Heroes- wait, what?In the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium, Nobody Beats G.I. Joe! is a Crossover quest between G.I. Joe (with elements of other Hasbro properties like Transformers) and Warhammer 40,000 written by Sun Tzu, author of A Champion in Earth-Bet and Saga of Soul. It uses the mechanics from the G.I. Joe Tabletop RPG published by Renegade Game Studios, its progression, rolls and votes are collated on fiction.live, and completed segments are posted to Sufficient Velocity.note Updated February 2024.The war is over - Cobra has been defeated. The Autobots have driven the Decepticons off Earth, and departed to finish their war on Cybertron. But just when it looks like peace has been achieved, an attack by Unicron and the activation of a Transmuter device to escape throws the entire Solar System into a different dimension. More specifically, the hellish galaxy of perpetual war of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise - and the fascistic Imperium of Man has detected their arrival.Trapped smack-dab in the middle of the Imperium, the people of Earth realize their only way to survive long enough to find a way back home is to convince the Imperium that they are loyal Imperial subjects. As part of the long con thus involved, G.I. Joe (expanded with elite members from all over the world) becomes a regiment of the Imperial Guard, the 1st Organitron Expeditionary Regiment. The Joes must thus fight the Imperium's enemies on planets all across the Xanadu Sector while dealing with the general dystopian nature of the Imperium itself.The quest follows the POV of the relative newcomer Joe, technician and "Tech-Priest" Solomon Orville Savella, Code Name "Ironhide"note in honor of the fallen Autobot. Can he help G.I. Joe keep Organitron alive and in good standing with the Imperium until a way back to their home dimension can be found? Good luck, and Yo Joe.

Rasputinian Death: Warboss Karkaz, as befitting a giant Ork with heavy powered armor and riding an Ork-ified Baneblade Tank, takes a lot of punishment, including having his own tank blown up from under him, Spirit ramming him with a Chimera tank, point-blank shots from Roadblock's Heavy Bolter, slashes from Snake Eyes wielding a Power Sword, punches from Quick Kick wearing Power Fists, and a lot of supporting fire, and he still doesn't go down until Snake Eyes stabs a Power Knife into his eye up to his elbow. And then slashes out his throat for good measure.

Flamethrower Backfire: The Orks' glitch-ridden flamethrowers are prone to getting blown up by a particularly accurate Joe. Ironhide and his aim-assisted Equilibrium Armor are particularly good at it. He even helps do this on a Humongous Mecha scale; where he pinpoints the fuel-tank on an Ork Gargant's flamethrower for their allied Imperial Knight to slash open.

Ensign Newbie: Commissar Parvasky Popov and his cadet Teela Kaltberg are the Commissars assigned to monitor G.I. Joe, and while they technically have license to kill any member not sufficiently loyal to the Imperium, they are constantly left off-balance by G.I. Joe's eccentricity, unorthodoxy, and sheer effectiveness, to say nothing of General Hawk and the upper brass constantly giving them the runaround.

Staging the Eavesdrop: As master conman Snow Job can attest to, the best way to make money on betting is not just to bet on the winning side, but to also make sure a lot of rich idiots will bet that your side will lose in order to skew the odds, and the best way to do that is to find the sports nerds that everyone listens to and make it seem like they'll bet against your side. So, if a visible Tech-Priest has a conversation near some of these nobles about how the competing battle servitors are the personal creations of Magos Gamma, outfitted with invincible technology, and that Magos Gamma wouldn't show off his work in the Gladiator Games unless he was absolutely certain they were unbeatable... well, let's just say the betting odds are very lopsided, with a big payout in the rare (and completely inevitable) event that the Joes win.

A Lighter Shade of Black: The Imperium is a nightmarishly evil regime, but given that its enemies in the sector are Orks, Tyranids and Chaos, G.I. Joe can fight for it with a reasonably clear conscience. When meeting Magos Castillo of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Ironhide reflects that one doesn't get to such a position without doing a lot of horrific things... but that having some redeeming qualities still puts Castillo ahead of his competition.

comment
Underestimating Badassery: With a dash of Evil Cannot Comprehend Good; almost every high-ranking Imperial Guard official that comes into contact with G.I. Joe - from Colonel Rastapopoulos to General Leonidas - views General Hawk as both an exemplary tactician for pulling off near-impossible military achievements and an absolutely abysmal politician due to not using said achievements to make Thrones, gain military accolades, connect with nobles or find powerful patrons. While they all plan on using Hawk as a blunt instrument for their own ends, Hawk meanwhile is fully capable of playing them like a band of fiddles, stop the worst of their plans, hold them to account, and eventually replace them with someone who will actually care about the innocent populace of their worlds. It turns out that President Reagan and Henry Kissinger hold a similar opinion of him.

comment
David Versus Goliath: Despite the size of Orks like Nobs and Meganobs, close-combat Joes like Moonboot, Quick Kick and Sergeant Slaughter can still kill them with their bare hands. Ironhide goes up against an oath-blade named "The Titan" in a Trial by Combat - a gigantic landed knight wielding a plasteel shield, a chain sword and bulletproof armor - without his armor or guns. What he does get, however, is prep time, and he manages to topple the Titan with some round seeds, a hidden Bifrost with a mirror, a sling and a gold-weighted bullet, and a pair of daggers right to the eye.

The Mekboy is so terrified he leaps out of the cockpit and gets tripped to his death, allowing Ironhide to take his place, as well as retrieve the grenade that he didn't pull the pin out of.

comment
Hopeless with Tech: Relatively speaking. The Adeptus Mechanicus is supposed to be the premier source of technology knowledge in the Imperium, but all their expertise is filtered through belief in "machine-spirits" and prayers and rituals to appease them in order to get the Imperium's tech to do anything, with no actual knowledge of how it actually works. The technicians in G.I. Joe, on the other hand, actually know the underlying principles on how to use technology and have worked with super-advanced Cybertronian tech for years, so not only can they operate and repair technology much better than the Ad Mech, but they can bamboozle them with the Adeptus's own ritualistic flash.

Good Is Not Soft: Being the good guys doesn't stop G.I. Joe from massacring Orks... or arranging a coup to replace Cavitus's scumbag King with one of their allies.

Engineered Heroics: When Ironhide needs to get into a secret royal vault with a bunch of guards, he remotely accesses the vault door to act like it has a glitch, and then conveniently be the Tech-Priest in the area that the guards demand to/beg for help. All he then has to do is close the door once inside, claim that "the machine spirit still needs appeasing" and snoop to his heart's content.

Black Comedy: The only description of the scene where Ironhide distracts an entire hangar full of Mekboy Orks and Gretchins by pretending to be a Mekboy on the loudspeaker, and claiming that a Gretchin swallowed his flash bitz, ran off before he could gut it to get it back, and is now offering a thousand teef reward to the Ork that guts the Gretchin and gets back his flash bitz. Cue a gory evisceration of every Gretchin in the hangar while G.I. Joe covertly goes about their business. And to cap everything off, to destroy all the Ork hardware in the hangar, Ironhide hijacks a Gargant and starts blasting everything in sight while yelling in Ork, "ZOG THIS, IF I CANNA GET THAT FLASH BITZ, I'LL JUST TAKE ALL YER TEEF!"

Midair Repair: The Joes need to get from one location to another in a hurry, but one of the vehicles needs emergency repairs and there's no time to stop. So, Ironhide, who is riding in another vehicle, has to climb onto the other vehicle, perform the repairs, and climb back, all without stopping. To Cadet Kaltberg's complete disbelief, the Joes pull it off without even a blink.

Non-Indicative Name: Zigzagged; Ironhide's codename may come from his armor specialization (and also in honor of the heroic Autobot), but not all of his armor suits are built for tanking raw damage. On Cavitus, he wore a set of Equilibrium Armor designed to help him dodge attacks, while on Devoir, he wears a suit of heavy Marauder Armor that is built for durability.

Guile Hero: The Joes' ability to pull fast ones on everyone they come across - both their enemies and erstwhile allies - is as important for their continued success and survival as their combat prowess. Intelligence officers like Scarlet are masters at it, while Ironhide himself is no slouch; General Hawk has commented on his silver tongue and the things he can convince the Orks to do with a vox and a voice changer.

Dirty Business: Flint and General Hawk agree that although they have been authorized by the governments of Earth/Organitron to implement partial regime change on Cavitus (like replacing the current government with a more sympathetic and safer political ally via staged assassinations), they are not and should not be comfortable with doing so. Especially when it means reading from the Cobra playbook.

Awesome, but Impractical: Sci-Fi is amused that Ironhide, who is codenamed after an Autobot, doesn't think very highly of giant bipedal mecha. Ironhide replies that Cybertronians are sleek, can move as agilely or better than a human, and have vehicle-modes, while Imperial mechs are slow, cumbersome, and have kneecaps. On a similar note, the Ork combiner Gargant is an airborne rocket-firing menace whose Wartrukk components mean that it can move around undetected, but its method of flight involves precariously balancing on all its boosters, meaning that once Ironhide works out which rockets to shoot out, it comes crashing down rather easily.

False Flag Operation
 In the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium, Nobody Beats G.I. Joe! (Fanfic) / int_2dddd99d
comment
False Flag Operation: The Joes, especially their psy-ops specialists, have taken advantage of the Orks' idiocy in several operations by pretending to be Orks themselves - despite their Commissars' protests on adopting a xeno's mindset. On Ironhide's first mission, his squad needs to preoccupy a whole airfield of Ork pilots, so he breaks into their communications, disguises his voice and tells them about a contest that requires the toughest Ork pilot around, prompting the pilots to start beating the tar out of each other. In the beginning of the war, Earth got on the Imperium expedition's good side and demonstrated the military prowess of G.I. Joe by manufacturing an entire squadron of Ork synthoids and having them "attack" Earth, only to be driven off by the Joes in a re-enactment of some of their greatest battles against Cobra. This tactic is again replicated to stymie Cortez's pogrom on the Cavitus underhives, by first getting the civilians out of the way and then creating a fake Ork warband out of synthoids to intercept the crusaders. Towards the end of the Joes' time on Cavitus, the Assassinorum agents are informed of another assignment and leave in disguise for Kiboutan, while elsewhere, Chuckles sighs at how boring it was to monitor their communication protocols for months in order to mimic them.

Out-Gambitted: Bishop-Praetor Cortez was working with the Navigators of House Astraides to usurp King Cortoban - who was hoarding all of the PDF's best forces for his own protection instead of on the front lines against the Orks, prolonging the war and risking Astraides's profits - and replacing him with a loyal patsy like Viscount Aragon. Not only does G.I. Joe work out what's going on, they convince the Navigators to back their own more altruistic royal heir, usurp the King themselves, and blackmail Cortez into retiring under threat of exposing his crimes of selling pilgrims into slavery.

Point Defenseless: Because of the Bigger Is Better mentality shared by both the Imperium and the Orks when it comes to their space battleships, both factions consider fighters scouts at best and worthless at worst. As such, when G.I. Joe sends out several squadrons of Thunderbolts and Marauders to take down an Ork Kill Kroozer, they are able to outfly the Ork fighters, obliterate the point defenses and take out the main guns, allowing the Flag and the bombers to finish it off, while the nearby Imperial Commodore is completely dumbfounded by the "counterintuitive" tactics.

The One Thing I Don't Hate About You

comment
The One Thing I Don't Hate About You: Ironhide notes that for all of the Imperium's hatred of xenos, aliens and mutants (even things as small as albinism or extra fingers), there is one thing that they're more progressive on than Earth and the US Army - attitudes towards LGBTQ individuals (keep in mind, this is happening during what would've been the 80s/90s). When Ironhide starts to make jokes about Menlo reciprocating Imperial Knight Rolande's advances, Poker Face pulls him aside, reminds him about what happened to Alan Turing, and tells him to not give General Hawk any knowledge that would legally require him to discharge any Joes. While many Joes mock Cobra Commander screaming "Retreat!" after another Cobra defeat, they do acknowledge that being able to organize a fighting retreat without suffering catastrophic losses is a tactical skill all its own. This is contrasted with the Orks, who when faced with (synthoid) Orks screaming "Retreat!", completely panic, lose their heads, run into each other, and are completely routed by the Joes. President Reagan laments the fact that the Imperium of Man have achieved his ideal of "one nation under God" and have kept it for millennia, if not for the fact that they worship "the wrong God".

Honor Before Reason: Commissar Parvasky Popov is the kind of commissar who views deceit and subterfuge as cowardice, and is only barely restraining himself from court-martialling G.I. Joe and its unorthodox tactics. Not only does he insist on coming along on an infiltration of an Ork naval fortress, not only does he protest pretending to be captured by Orks (Scarlet in disguise), but even when Scarlet asks him to be her lookout, he ends up charging out with his chainsword and getting captured. The Joes themselves often go far above and beyond what is required for their role, or even safe for keeping the Earth's secrets. While they do their best to be smart about it, and realize they can't save everyone, Ironhide often thinks to himself that there would be no point in being G.I. Joe if they were willing to let evil slide when it can possibly be avoided.

Important Haircut: Children on Vectorime, the native world of the Kaltbergs, traditionally dye their hair; Teela Kaltberg removed the dye when she started attending the Schola Progenium in order to better fit in. At the end of the Cavitus arc, filled with doubts about whether she's being a good Commissar for G.I. Joe and about whether she even should be, she decides to repaint her hair purple.

Fake Faith Healer: As part of the Masquerade, all G.I. Joe technologists and engineers have to disguise themselves as members of the local Organitron chapter of the Adeptus Mechanicus, tech-priests that pray to the machine-spirit of technology every time they use or work on them. Ironhide finds it the most humiliating part of his new role, but needs must.

Mind over Manners: Played with. For all that he has impressive psychic abilities, sanctioned psyker Meridian Septentrion cannot actually read minds. However, many, many Imperial Guard members he has run across over the years assume he can, and threaten to kill him if he ever reveals their secrets - secrets to which he isn't actually privy.

The Farmer and the Viper: An in-universe novel, allegedly based on the tale of one Gunner Androkles, tells of an Imperial Guardsman who, upon crash-landing among a primitive xeno tribe, is nursed back to health and treated like a friend by the aliens. He repays them by radioing the Imperium and giving them the tribe's location, leading to both the tribe and him being killed in the subsequent orbital bombardment. Naturally, to Imperial readers this is meant to come across as ''inspirational''; Ironhide just finds it horrifying.

Faux Horrific: Ironhide gets a cold sweat when he reads a mathematics book published by the Imperium, which just states mathematical definitions, theorems and corollaries without giving any actual proof. What particularly horrifies him are the implications: proving why mathematical theories work is the foundation for teaching people logic and how to think and prove things, and a book that just gives theories without proof and expects the reader to believe them unconditionally only primes the reader to follow any rule given to them without rational thought.

Commissar Cadet Teela Kaltberg is a curious Book Worm who loves studying and writing reports, and has a strong bond with her Stormtrooper older brother Sean Kaltberg. Add their first initials to a scene in their childhood where she had purple-dyed hair and he had blue, and there are clear parallels to Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor. Not to mention, Sean is theorized to be in a relationship with his royal comrade Almadero, and when Almadero takes the throne of Cavitus, his first name is revealed to be Cadencio, making him the equivalent to Princess Cadance.

Affably Evil: Colonel Rastapopoulos is always putting on a friendly, polite facade even as he engages in shameless war profiteering and political assassination. Many of G.I. Joe's allies among the Imperium qualify, even (or especially) Kaltberg. While they may have some redeeming qualities, and Kaltberg in particular is slowly overcoming her indoctrination, for the most part anyone native to the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millenium is A Lighter Shade of Black. For the genocidal racism against aliens if nothing else.

On top of that, he has been selling pilgrims into slavery for years.

Poker Face has to talk him through the Imperial Guard's most likely actions (escape the pocket, move south to encircle the Orks), whereupon Ironhide realizes that Rastapopoulos would in the process abandon the northern flank and leave all civilians in the Zeta Pocket to be overrun by Orks.

comment
Mugging the Monster: More than a few underhive gangsters come to mug or menace the upperfolk coming into their turf, but G.I. Joe is so far out of their league they barely bat an eye at their attempts. Just as an example, when a group of gangsters come to menace Ironhide while he's helping out the local community, and a bystander tries to defend him:

Easy Logistics: To a degree. G.I. Joe's interstellar warship The Flag of Unrelenting Justice has many fabricators onboard to produce whatever they need, as well as a Cybertronian spacebridge that allows easy supply to and from Earth. They have to be careful of overusing it lest the Imperium finds out about it.

Our Presidents Are Different

comment
Our Presidents Are Different: US President Ronald Reagan, seen in an interlude, is both President Scheming and Jerkass in direct contrast to G.I. Joe. Having survived his Alzheimer's, used the Cobra War as pretext to repeal the 22nd Amendment (eliminate term limits), and rode to re-election on a cure for AIDS (despite him seeing the disease as "the wrath of God on homosexuals"), he is on his 4th term in office as the man who led the US through Cobra, the Deceptions, and the Soviet Union. However, in private, he and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger do not think much of the idealistic General Hawk and even less about some of his Joes like the Ukrainian Turnabout, and reassure themselves that there are still ways to keep them in line.

Out-of-Character Alert: When they first arrive on Rolande's world Devoir they quickly discover a priest who has been crucified for Heresy. Unwilling to let him be tortured to death, Ironhide and Bifrost claim they detect some kind of Tyranid corruption on him and take him away 'to be vivisected.' Unfortunately, while most Imperials find this completely plausible, Kaltberg immediately realizes that G.I. Joe doesn't do things like that and they are forced to tell her (a version of) the truth.

comment
No One Gets Left Behind: In stark contrast to the Imperium, who'd abandon wounded troops if they were too injured to fight, G.I. Joe will take the time to rescue the wounded and bring them back to safety. Ironhide tells a skeptical Imperial soldier that it's a key element to their success; members will fight harder and take risks if they know their regiment and comrades-in-arms values their lives and will take equal risks to keep them safe, keeping morale high and the regiment effective. In a later mission, the Joes' assigned Commissar gets captured by Orks due to putting xeno-slaying Honor Before Reason and going Leeroy Jenkins, and one of the PDF troopers comments good riddance and makes to leave. Sergeant Slaughter grabs him and says they will get the commissar out, repeating his movie quote of "We all go home, or nobody goes home!"

Joe's support for a plan to do just that. They just manage to excuse themselves with grace and not hurl. And it gets even worse when they learn about arco-flagellants.

Closet Gay: This may be the one aspect in which (some parts of) the Imperium of Man is more liberal than Organitron (which is basically 90s Earth) - several members of G.I. Joe have to hide their sexuality because their governments back on Earth wouldn't accept gay people in their military. This comes up when Ironhide teases Menlo over how flustered she gets from being flirted with by lesbian Imperial Rolande; Poker Face, General Hawk's administrative assistant, pulls him aside to chew him out.

Smart People Play Chess: Discussed alongside its counterpart Cunning People Play Poker, as Cadet Kaltberg, after losing a chess game to Flint, talks about how games like chess, poker and go can also apply to battlefield tactics, alongside the people who are good at them. Flint is a Rhodes scholar, an expert tactician and an international master at chess, experts at poker include field commander Duke, intelligence officers Scarlet and Lady Jaye, CIA operative Chuckles and lawyer Turnabout, while expert engineer Menlo and Lifeline, who has the brain for leadership, are both talented at go. A subversion, however, is General Hawk, who always loses to Flint at chess but is absolutely the better tactician, as his tactical specialty involves thinking outside the box and looking for the unexpected angles, which regimented games can't reflect as well as the battlefield.

Original Character: A few of the newer Joe recruits are created from whole cloth. Paladin, ren-faire enthusiast and APC driver. Striker, Le Parkour expert, hand-to-hand combatant, and Jack of All Trades. Poker Face, General Hawk's new administrative assistant. Pendragon, British former union head, Hong Kong expat, anti-monarchist, and chosen wielder of Excalibur. There's a reason the British government wanted him with the Joes, in space and out of the public eye. Brimstone, ex-soldier and chaplain from the Congo under the Mobutu administration, whose role in G.I. Joe is to masquerade as G.I. Joe's regimental priest of the "Catholic Imperial Church" and handle the talking with any actual Ecclesiarchy bishops. Killshot, former Tzahal sniper. Whisper, Mexican stealth operative and commando.

Spy Speak: When an entire regiment, which includes several intelligence experts, needs to conceal their intentions from their so-called superiors, this is bound to come up. If a Joe mentions "Crimson" and "Guard" in the same phrase (in a reference to Cobra's Praetorian Guard), this alerts other Joes that Imperial intelligence might be listening in and they need to be extra careful. Once the Joes get wind of an Assassinorum mission in the area, they sprinkle in names of other assassins like Lee Harvey Oswald and Ignacy Hryniewiecki into their messages to alert the others.

Holding Back the Phlebotinum: The Cybertronian technology available to Earth and G.I. Joe, such as FTL communication and space bridges, is leagues better than anything the Imperium has to offer (except maybe archeotech), but they have to keep usage of it limited and secret, lest the Imperium and their fanatical hatred of xenotech find out and fall on them like a ton of bricks. The Transmuter device that brought the Solar System to the W40K universe could technically be used to get them out again... but with no way to aim it, they could end up shunting everyone into a universe even less hospitable than their current one, like one full of antimatter. Trying to improve the device until it works reliably is a key goal of Project Ruby Slippers.

On a similar note, the Ork combiner Gargant is an airborne rocket-firing menace whose Wartrukk components mean that it can move around undetected, but its method of flight involves precariously balancing on all its boosters, meaning that once Ironhide works out which rockets to shoot out, it comes crashing down rather easily.

Didn't Think This Through: When Ironhide's squad gets pinned down by Orks because someone spotted a ziplining Lifeline, he suggests that someone lead them away on a Roof Hopping goose chase to give the others time to regroup. He loses his grin when Bifrost points out that the only one of them who is wearing red like Lifeline, is in the right place, and is equipped with Grasshopper Braces is Ironhide himself... for a moment before he steps up to the challenge.

Sergeant Slaughter grabs him and says they will get the commissar out, repeating his movie quote of "We all go home, or nobody goes home!"

comment
Artificial Stupidity: It doesn't take Ironhide long to identify a big weakness in how battle servitors function: all the emotion-suppressing the servitors' implants need to do to keep them obedient also heavily suppress their human survival instincts, meaning if they (erroneously) decide that they need to do something insane, dangerous and counterintuitive to win a fight (like fire on their own position), they will do it without hesitation. And after Poker Face transmits his analysis to the Joes fighting in gladitorial combat against some of said battle servitors, Duke, Scarlet and Jinx soon have their opponents firing on each other.

Showy Invincible Hero: The setup for this trope is here, with the stakes so high that a single defeat would mean the end of Earth (at the hands of their own "allies" the Imperium at best or any of the other factions at worst), and the Badass Army of G.I. Joe all set up with the skills, wits and smarts to outwit and defeat their opponents, save the day, and look awesome while doing so. So far, the first arcs on Cavitus with the Joes defeating the Ork invasion and committing a royal coup to replace the planetary leader with a more moralistic heir instead play this straight; time will tell if it will remain that way.

Amber, the martial arts student from "Lasers in the Night" that dated Quick Kick for a spell, became his student, wife and the close-combatant Moonboot, able to break metal with her bare hands and KO an entire Ork squad single-handedly. And got his habit of spouting movie quotes mid-combat. Ali Razuli Jabal, monarch of Alwaha from the episode "Hearts and Cannons" that had his country liberated by Dusty and Footloose, becomes The Social Expert and diplomat Assault (with his country democratized, he can afford to be Active Royalty). Also, he married Dr. Winters, the expert on plasma weaponry. The Cobra chef B.A. Lacarr from "Raise the Flagg!" that managed to survive for a whole year inside a sunken ship becomes the engineer Bon Appetit, specializing in MacGyvering solutions out of anything, including Imperial archeotech.

Ironhide notes that for all of the Imperium's hatred of xenos, aliens and mutants (even things as small as albinism or extra fingers), there is one thing that they're more progressive on than Earth and the US Army - attitudes towards LGBTQ individuals (keep in mind, this is happening during what would've been the 80s/90s). When Ironhide starts to make jokes about Menlo reciprocating Imperial Knight Rolande's advances, Poker Face pulls him aside, reminds him about what happened to Alan Turing, and tells him to not give General Hawk any knowledge that would legally require him to discharge any Joes.

Chronic Hero Syndrome: Many members of G.I. Joe have this issue to some extent. Ironhide and Lifeline are both depressed by the fact that everything they did in the underhive only amounted to helping a tiny fraction of its people. On Ironhide's first day on the medieval world of Devoir, while undercover, he runs into a peasant demanding satisfaction for his raped daughter and murdered son at the hands of a knight, and when the knight's retinue declares a Trial by Combat, Ironhide steps up to be the peasant's champion.

Character Filibuster: Sometimes when Ironhide encounters some terrible behavior that the Imperium implements, he takes the time to think about and compare similar behaviors implemented in Earth's own societies. When talking with Teela about the slums of the hive cities and how sometimes the upper class want there to be a criminal underclass they can abuse with impunity, he thinks about how American politicians make it difficult to legally immigrate to the U.S., creating an underclass of undocumented immigrants that employers can underpay, whom cannot legally protest lest they be deported. When Teela discusses the wealthy Navigators and how they are abhumans, not mutants, yet are still disliked by the mutant-hating Ecclesiarchy, Ironhide mentally compares the hatred to how bigots on Earth particularly detest well-off minorities, with the Tulsa Massacre coming to mind. When talking about how cults of mutants that worship the Ruinous Powers are allegedly stirring in the underhive and that a mini-crusade needs to be sent against them, he and Lady Jaye bring up the Red Scare and the Japanese internment camps as parallels of governments vastly exaggerating the threat of internal traitors and implementing harsh measures for their own gain.

When talking about how cults of mutants that worship the Ruinous Powers are allegedly stirring in the underhive and that a mini-crusade needs to be sent against them, he and Lady Jaye bring up the Red Scare and the Japanese internment camps as parallels of governments vastly exaggerating the threat of internal traitors and implementing harsh measures for their own gain.

Pragmatic Hero: Out of necessity. There is no way Earth could hold off the endless legions of the Imperium if it came to a direct conflict, so the only solution is to become part of it and act as its loyal subjects. In order to survive as loyal members of the Imperial Guard, the Joes, while doing what good they can where they can, have to work alongside fascistic kings, bloody-minded Commissars, xenophobic bishops and Ad Mech Magi who'd eagerly convert millions of innocents into mindless servitors, even as they walk past the suffering billions in the underhives or the legal slaves in the Spires.

comment
Defusing the Tyke-Bomb: Ironhide and the Joes can easily see that Commissar Cadet Teela Kaltberg is a curious Book Worm who geeks out over libraries, has a close bond with her brother, and is devoted to her duty... who was also put through the Schola Progenium that indoctrinated her into following all orders unflinchingly, including the ones that got her to kill her classmate to prove her obedience. So, they do her best to not only keep her away from her more zealous Commissar superior, but also direct her into seeing the inefficiencies in the Imperium and the corruption of its topmost authority, to both redirect her focus into rooting out the worst offenders and become more open to Ironhide's more positive advice.

Taking You with Me: Or at least, "with my ship"; after a Tyranid horde uses Flesh-borers to critically damage Lift-Ticket's Valkyrie, he manage to maneuver the Valkyrie to crash right on top of the Tyranid Warrior acting as its synapse creature, causing the horde to lose all coordination. And Bifrost is still able to get him out of the wreckage afterward.

Luckily, G.I. Joe runs across a royal heir with a good head on his shoulders that they can put on the throne themselves.

comment
Quality over Quantity: Oh, absolutely. The universe of Warhammer 40K frequently fields armies that number in the millions or more, whereas the G.I. Joe regiment has less than a thousand combat personnel. And yet with superior tactics and technology, they frequently pull off victories that inflict completely disproportionate casualties upon their opponents. As an example, a mission on Cavitus has G.I. Joe and a scant Planetary Defense Force defending a settlement about to be attacked by over 100,000 Orks, with no chance of reinforcement. Not only do the Joes completely wipe out the opposing force with no survivors, they take no fatalities of their own.

No MacGuffin, No Winner: Invoked. G.I. Joe tracks down a cache containing a Power Sword, but they are later accosted by General Leonidas's forces who want to claim it instead. When he doesn't listen to the argument that G.I. Joe is required to hand it over to the proper owner (like Sector Command), General Hawk orders Ironhide to destroy the sword if Leonidas doesn't back down. The Imperial general promptly shifts to negotiation tactics - which is what Hawk intended for all along.

Pulling the Thread: On Cavitus, G.I. Joe discovering a mysterious sniper taking out Orks leads them to discover a secret struggle for the throne. On Devoir, Ironhide coming across a crucified brownrobe leads G.I. Joe to discover a conspiracy to destroy the planet's biosphere and kill countless innocents just to better exterminate the Tyranids and make Devoir's knights relevant.

Didn't See That Coming: The Imperial crusade to cleanse the Ciudad Underhive of "chaos-worshiping mutants" (in actuality a scheme for Bishop-Praetor Cortez to prop up his protégé Viscount Aragon as a mutant-purging hero) runs into a snag when they get down there and encounter, not helpless civilians, but an entire Ork warband (secretly made out of Joe-manufactured synthoids).

Assassin Outclassin': When the Joes go to the jungles of Devoir, they find themselves hunted by Tyranid predators like burrowing Raveners and camouflaged Licters. But once jungle expert Recondo gets a feel for them, the Tyranids' ambush attempts end in them getting spotted and blown to pieces before they have a chance to strike.

Expy: A couple of Joe recruits are taken from the author's other works: the French swordsman Bleu-Blanc-Rouge comes from his superhero universe The Avatar's World and the genius technician Menlo is another version of the Tinker protagonist of The Electrifying Adventures of Doctor Menlo. Also, Eriko Watanabe from Saga of Soul shows up as a programming consultant for Project Ruby Slipper. Fyodor Ryabov a.k.a. Turnabout is basically Ukrainian Phoenix Wright in his hobo phase - Turnabout, after being disbarred by the Soviet regime, proceeded to mastermind its downfall. Paragon is a German Commander Shepard (female). Colonel Rastapopoulos is, well, Rastapopoulos as a military officer with political ambition instead of an international smuggling tycoon with ambition. Commissar Cadet Teela Kaltberg is a curious Book Worm who loves studying and writing reports, and has a strong bond with her Stormtrooper older brother Sean Kaltberg. Add their first initials to a scene in their childhood where she had purple-dyed hair and he had blue, and there are clear parallels to Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor. Not to mention, Sean is theorized to be in a relationship with his royal comrade Almadero, and when Almadero takes the throne of Cavitus, his first name is revealed to be Cadencio, making him the equivalent to Princess Cadance. When the Joes land on the medieval-age world of Devoir, some of the nobles take inspiration from A Song of Ice and Fire: The Greater House of Lamedor is a major player on this planet, gets its wealth from praseodymium mines, has saber-toothed tigers as their house symbol, and its head, Tyrant Lamedor, is a ruthless political and military genius. It's not hard to see the resemblances to House Lannister and its head, Tywin. One of Lamedor's vassal oath-blades (knights) is a monster of a man called "The Titan" with a proclivity for rape and murder, in a clear reference to "the Mountain" Gregor Clegane.

The Battlestar: The Flag of Unrelenting Justice serves as G.I. Joe's warship and mobile base while they are serving on Imperial fronts across the galaxy, named as both a tribute to the original Flagg aircraft carrier and to fit Imperial naming conventions without sounding too fanatic. Although it only qualifies as an Escort ship by Imperial standards (and it's a Mile-Long Ship already), it's a dedicated escort carrier that can house full complements of Thunderbolt Space Fighters and Marauder bombers, while still hosting a fair amount of cannons for Standard Starship Scuffles or Orbital Bombardment, allowing it to destroy ships that outmass and outgun it several times over. And that's not counting the Cybertronian technology secretly installed into it, like a working spacebridge.

It Was Here, I Swear!: Bishop-Praetor Cortez can't believe Viscount Aragorn when according to him, the holy crusade army he marched into the Underhive to clear of mutants instead ran into an Ork warband (when the hive city is miles away from the front line of any Ork fighting), which the crusaders somehow fought off while barely suffering any casualties (aside from all the arco-flagellants they brought with them), and although they didn't burn the bodies, somehow all the corpses vanished after they left. Given that G.I. Joe evacuated all the underhive civilians in the crusaders' path beforehand, constructed an entire battalion of Ork synthoids that were programmed to fight nonlethally except against the arco-flagellants, and spread rumors that Aragon wanted to sell off the arco-flagellants to rivals, this was all deliberate to torpedo Cortez's plan to build up Aragon as an Emperor-serving defender.

Fascist, but Inefficient: Ironhide finds it very easy to look at the tactics used by the Imperial Guard and the Imperium as a whole and compare them to the worst of the Nazis and Cobra - as well as how the use of these draconian tactics and allowing corruption to run rampant are actually putting them at a disadvantage against the Imperium's enemies. For example, two Imperial Guard colonels are in a vitriolic Interservice Rivalry and even actively lob Unfriendly Fire at each other, but General Leonidas keeps deploying their regiments to the same front because they are politically connected and their feud keeps them too busy to plot against him.

Crossover: Between G.I. Joe / Warhammer 40,000, obviously, but there are other Hasbro properties in the mix. Transformers are explicitly part of G.I. Joe's home dimension, and much of the technology G.I. Joe use is Cybertronian in nature... even if the Transformers don't show up in the quest proper. Bifrost is is Megan Williams, years after her adventures in Dream Valley, having grown up and joined G.I. Joe late in the war with Cobra. Also, her siblings Danny and Molly appear as magic consultants for Project Ruby Slipper, and the Ponies have also offered the use of the Heart of Ponyland to power Earth's defenses against Chaos, with Wind Whistler as a representative and consultant. One of the magic consultants for Project Ruby Slipper, the global initiative to get Earth back to their own dimension, is Albert "Presto" Preston, who has first-hand experience of being stuck in another world. Dungeon Master is also working with the Egyptian God Horus, Dr. March, and Wind Whistler to defend Earth from Chaos. Jem and the Misfits' songs play on the radio at one point.

Other private conversations from the Joes imply that keeping Popov busy is a deliberate action on their part.

Locked Out of the Loop: When a Joe team including Ironhide are given a side-mission to search for a lost Power Sword ostensibly from a Rogue Trader dynasty, they aren't informed of the true specifics of the mission due to rumors of mind-reading Psykers under General Leonidas's command (and even concealed an Imperial bug from Dial-Tone so as to not raise suspicions). They are only debriefed after the mission that they stole the Power Sword from King Cortoban, spread rumors about it being lost, and when Leonidas arrived to claim it from them, they gave it to him in exchange for him looking into Bishop-Praetor Cortez and Viscount Aragon, as part of their plan to aim all their attentions at each other.

Trial by Combat: A G.I. Joe classic. Ironhide breaks cover on a knight world, becoming the champion of a tavern keeper whose daughter was raped and her son murdered by a sworn knight. The tavern keeper made the mistake of publicly accusing him, which allowed the knight - in bulletproof armor and wielding a chain sword - to challenge him to trial by combat. Ironhide steps up as his champion.

comment
In the beginning of the war, Earth got on the Imperium expedition's good side and demonstrated the military prowess of G.I. Joe by manufacturing an entire squadron of Ork synthoids and having them "attack" Earth, only to be driven off by the Joes in a re-enactment of some of their greatest battles against Cobra. This tactic is again replicated to stymie Cortez's pogrom on the Cavitus underhives, by first getting the civilians out of the way and then creating a fake Ork warband out of synthoids to intercept the crusaders. Towards the end of the Joes' time on Cavitus, the Assassinorum agents are informed of another assignment and leave in disguise for Kiboutan, while elsewhere, Chuckles sighs at how boring it was to monitor their communication protocols for months in order to mimic them.

Faking the Dead: When the Joes get wind of the Officio Assassinorum putting out a hit on Captain Madrigal (an incognito son of Archduke Almadero) on Colonel Rastapopoulos's orders, they decide to help him out by replacing him with a synthoid that the assassins would kill in his place. When the AWOL Psyker G.I. Joe is tasked to retrieve turns out to be a witness to his Imperial Guard superior's crimes of Unfriendly Fire, G.I. Joe takes him into their ranks, changes his appearance, and gives his staff to the Imperial Guard as proof of his demise. The Joes' regime change operation on Cavitus climaxes in King Cortoban arresting General Leonidas, claiming in public that he had Leonidas killed in custody, and then being sniped by an Assassinorum agent. In reality, the Joes had again used synthoids to stage the public assassinations, and had Cortoban, Leonidas, and Rastapopoulos shipped to Earth in custody.

Low Clearance: Alpine takes out a group of Orks on Warbikes this way, by shooting a grappling hook to a nearby attachment point and clotheslining the entire group.

Technology Uplift: Discussed and defied - thanks to the Autobots, G.I. Joe has access to technology that could significantly alter the galactic balance of power in the hands of the Imperium (such as reliable faster-than-light travel and communication). However, they decide against sharing that technology with the Imperium, both because of the Imperium's fanatical rejection of xenotech, and because, well, they don't want to make a fascistic, tyrannical empire better at being fascistic. They do, however, reverse-engineer Baneblade tanks and teach Magos Castillo how to build them, as part of their plan for regime change on Cavitus.

Beware the Nice Ones: Bifrost, one of the newer Joes. She may look like a fresh-faced recruit out of ROTC wearing rainbow patches and a horsehair bracelet, and one of her specialties may be hostage negotiation (she once talked a group of Cobra troops into defecting), but said negotiation is also good at getting in her opponent's heads, and her other specialty is counter-sorcery, possessing a rainbow-shooting magic relic that can incinerate Weirdboyz and match the worst dark magic Cobra could get its hands on. Oh, and if you want to know who she is, she calls that relic the Rainbow of Light.

The Cobra chef B.A. Lacarr from "Raise the Flagg!" that managed to survive for a whole year inside a sunken ship becomes the engineer Bon Appetit, specializing in MacGyvering solutions out of anything, including Imperial archeotech.

Pet the Dog: Literal example; General Hawk turns down rejuvenat treatments that would keep him young on grounds of professional ethics but does agree to provide it to the members of G.I. Joe who are at risk of aging out of service - the Joe animal companions like Junkyard and Order.
