while i can not say whether or not larry hama ever saw any of the old cartoon and i would think that write say cartoon and file card and and some of the comic would count for something . for fan of the old cartoon and this be pretty much a continuation of the same and except with a few new character and a more insane cobra commander . we still have all the old favorite too and but on a personal note and one thing that always irritate me be this duke in charge stuff and when there be ton of other officer around instead . the battle sequence be similar to the old series as well while the main trick here seem to be the cgi . it overall pretty good and if not a little over the top .
