Changes to GI JOE RAH in Canada?

[Werewolf]

Aside from the American flag and United States decals being removed and the cards no longer said "Real American Hero" was anything else changed?

I know RAH got radically changed in the UK. Like name change to Action Force and the removal of all American flag decals. Exclusive repaints of figures like Scarlett to Quarrel and when Scarlett was released her place of birth was changed from Atlanta Georgia USA to Belgium. Plus the animated series even got heavily redubbed complete with new theme song. They did get some super cool exclusive vehicles like the Roboskull.

Snake Eyes had a beaver instead of a wolf, and instead of Refrigerator Perry, our mail away figure was Wayne Gretzky code name: Hat Trick.

Some of the French names were interesting, Snake Eyes was "Zorro" and I swear "Dial Tone" was "Dic Click"

I did not know that. I've seen very few Canadian bi lingual cards or packages. But I have seen the Snake Eyes 82 card and he was still called Snake Eyes in both French and English on his file card. Looks like he was indeed called Zorro on at least the Ninja Force card. Cool.

Did they change the origin of cobra commander in Canada? In the UK they gad Baron Ironblood, from the original 5 POA line become cobra commander in the Action Force Comics, after he destroyed the Red Shadows, we then had the regular goes like duke and gung ho

Here in the States,Cobra Commander use to be a used car salesman.

Skip ahead to 52:55 to see some of the crazy changes done to RAH to change it into the Action Force cartoon in the UK. Full Force!! Ah, yeah, it's probably worse than Hero Turtles.

Were Bob and Doug or Dudley DoRight inducted into the Real Canadian Heroes line? Or Geddy Lee?

Was the file card for Back-Stop the same as it was here? Did it say he was ran out of Canada for playing hockey too rough?

I had to look him up on yojoe.com. It did! I never had that figure I tended to stick to characters that were in the cartoon.
