| G.I. Joe Extreme | comment |
G.I. Joe Extreme is one of the many animated interpretations of the G.I. Joe franchise subsequent to its original and best known incarnation. Following the short-lived Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles, Extreme was a drastic reinvention of the brand in both style and design, pitting a brand new G.I. Joe team against a new enemy, the Soldiers for Kaos, Anarchy, and Ruin (SKAR). The line, supported by both a 26-episode cartoon series (1995-1997) and a short-lived comic published by Dark Horse, embraced the style of The Dark Age of Comic Books, making heavy use of hard shadows and hyper-muscular characters.Set in the far future of 2006, the terrorist organisation SKAR, led by the masked Iron Klaw, is emerging and threatening the Inter-Alliance. In response, a new G.I. Joe team is formed to counter the threat. However, they don't know that Iron Klaw disguises himself as Count Von Rani, the leader of a small European country that is part of the Inter-Alliance. Both the comics and the cartoons use the same basic setup but go in a different direction.The Extreme toyline was a massive failure, leading Hasbro to quietly kill the show and comic, and let the G.I. Joe franchise rest for a few years before returning to the A Real American Hero brand. Despite its impopularity, Extreme has been occasionally referenced in future G.I. Joe and Transformers materials. Some of the codenames introduced in Extreme were reused in future lines (starting with Sigma 6) and Iron Klaw and Steel Raven were integrated into the A Real American Hero universe as Collector's Club figures, the former in 2013 and the later in 2016. Additionally, some of the franchises' crossovers with Transformers have made reference to some of the concepts from both this and Sgt. Savage, including certain characters now referenced in Revolutionaries, a part of the new Hasbro Comic Universe. | |

Darker and Edgier: A notable attempt at being darker than G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, since it is acknowledged in this series that war can result in lives being lost and many characters are revealed to have traumatic backstories. | |

After the End: The original pitch for the Extreme brand (shown in the book Toy Wars) mention the setting is supposed to be post-apocalyptic, and the Expository Theme Tune mentions the collapse of an unnamed superpower. This isn't really apparent in the show itself, however. | |

The Man Behind the Man: The second season establish (most notably in "Rampage for President") that SKAR is actually backed by a much older organisation that has infiltrated all spheres of society. An interview with a Sunbow employee eventually confirmed the organisation in question was going to be Cobra. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Done humorously in the opener of the second season. After learning of Iron Klaw's "death", Rampage is ready to make his run to takeover SKAR, but he's soon shocked to find he only has three Zaps left in his inventory. He goes to his office and a sweating accountant explains to him that SKAR didn't order any more batchs, and with no cashflow, they can't build more robots. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Two instances, both from the pilot: Iron Klaw is goofier (throwing a temper tantrum after the failure of his plan) and more unstable than he is in any of the following episodes, acting essentially like a more violent Cobra Commander. Not coincidentally, the pilot was written by Buzz Dixon, who was the editor of the original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon. Rampage is shown to have the hots for Mayday. This trait is mentioned on his unreleased toy's bios and also briefly show in the comic, but it never came up again in the series after the first episode. | |

Hong Kong Dub: Even though they're mouthing the same language, the lip synching of the live-action segments is really off. And it doesn't help that the voice actors' voices practically never sound like the voice the live-action actor would have, especially Lt. Stone, Freight and Wreckage. | |

Transplant: Sgt. Savage, the protagonist of the very short-lived Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles was carried over as a member of the Joes. He serves as the most solid link Extreme has to the rest of the franchise, as the one-off Sgt. Savage episode firmly established it as a continuation of A Real American Hero. (Additionally, Savage's original enemy, the I.R.O.N. Army, is referred to in one episode via an ex-scientist of theirs.) | |

Bruce Wayne Held Hostage: A rare villainous example; Iron Klaw is in an Inter-Alliance meeting as Count von Rani, when Rampage — disobeying Iron Klaw's orders — attacks the meeting. The result is that he has to keep switching between his identities to keep on top of the situation; unfortunately, a reporter finds out and tells the Joes about it. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: The first season is mostly a series of one-off episodes where GI Joe foils SKAR's scheme of the week, but it soon introduces a subplot about the Joes suspecting there is a mole within the Inter-Alliance. This comes to a head in the season finale, where GI Joe's island base is destroyed and Iron Klaw's cover as Count Von Rani is exposed for good. The second season feature stronger episode to episode continuity and introduced another season-wide subplot with Sgt. Savage's distrust of Metalhead. | |

Totally Radical: As the theme song put it, this show is EXTREEEEEEEME. Perhaps the character who best embodies Extreme's extreme-ness is Metalhead, a computer hacker who speaks in surfer dude lingo and owns a gun that shoots rock music. This show is so extreme, that "Extreme" called itself out in the roll call in the show's intro. | |

Retool | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: Production of the 2nd season was moved from Sunbow Entertainment to Gunther-Wahl Productions and many changes were done to the show: the live-action cold openings were replaced by Previously on… recaps, continuity between episodes was stronger, the musical insert sequences were removed, the Mecha-Mooks were dropped, Balistics was renamed "Eagle Eye" (the result of a new law banning firearm-themed names on children shows) and slightly redesigned and the existing SKAR henchmen were sidelined (Inferno didn't appear at all, Wreckage was only in one episode, and Rampage was Put on a Bus for most of the season). | |

Limited Animation: Characters falling is often "animated" by dragging a static cell from top to bottom. A specific example is Quickstryke falling from the mountain at the end of "Point of Honor". | |

Tragic Monster: Wreckage, who's a downed soldier turned into an hulking cyborg by Iron Klaw, and tricked into thinking that the Inter-Alliance is responsible for what happened to him. | |

Composite Character: In a purely visual example, Iron Klaw's design on the show is a combination of his three figures: he has the costume of his first figure, the mask of the second and the cape of the third. | |

Expy | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Most of the Joes are this one way or another, but it's especially noticeable with Lt. Stone, who is pretty much a more muscular Duke. To say nothing of Black Dragon, who's basically a more talkative and personable version of Snake Eyes. Albeit a much, much more talkative version. On the bad guy's side, Rampage broadly plays the same role as Destro (masked arm dealer who supplies the bad guys with Mecha-Mooks and has a strained relationship with the main villain), although his personality is very different. | |

The Starscream | |
| G.I. Joe Extreme / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Rampage has his sight set to SKAR's leadership (to the point he even mutters "Things won't be satisfactory until the day where I'm in control of SKAR" within Iron Klaw's hearing) and undermine Iron Klaw's authority by stockpiling weapons, running his own operations and disobeying orders to not attack Inter-Alliance targets. Iron Klaw is fairly quick to catch on to Rampage's treachery and only keep him around due to him being useful as a weapon supplier. When Rampage finally makes an over attempt to take control of SKAR, Iron Klaw lets him rot in prison when his attempt to attack Fort Knox fails and is deeply opposed to the notion of freeing him when representatives of SKAR's backers propose to do so. | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Unusually, the show starts with SKAR already being fully aware of where GI Joe's "secret" island is and its security weak spot, attacking it in the second episode. It is later blown up for good in the first season's finale. | |
