The basic premise of the series based on the figures is
"good vs. evil". G.I. Joe is America's highly
capable branch of military whose purpose is to defend
America and the world against enemy attack and all other
evils. Their main adversary is the COBRA Organization,
a terrorist organization who'll stop at nothing to control
the world. The cast of each group is full of colorful
and eccentric characters, each having their own individual
powers and abilities. The animated show, although dealing
with war and fighting, still contained an almost "G"
rating as characters were rarely, if ever, killed even
in the most dire of circumstances. The most obvious example
is that whenever an airplane was destroyed in combat,
the characters inside were invariably shown parachuting
out of the wreckage in the nick of time.
