About this listen
Jon has dug up another oddity from the Toonami vault: G.I. Joe: Spy Troops, a 2003 animated movie designed to promote a new line of G.I. Joe action figures (which were meant to be their own continuity).
The G.I. Joe team made new remote control weapons. Alas, Cobra stole them, forcing the Joes to get them back before Cobra Commander can use them to cause chaos.
However, despite its simple premise, this movie is really weird. Several characters (like Snake Eyes) are off doing their own storylines, several Cobra members are just acting weird, and the animation is so early-2000s straight-to-DVD movie it hurts.
Yo Joe!

From the block's early days with shows like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Transformers: Beast Wars to the imported anime that made Toonami and Adult Swim appointment television for a generation of kids, such as Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball.
