* {{Expy}}: Not necessarily for past ''GIJoe'' characters, but for ''Series/TheATeam''. Roadblock shares B.A.'s role as the MrFixit and on occasion, the ScaryBlackMan (he's usually a GentleGiant), while Flint and Lady Jaye fill the roles of Colonel Lynch and Captain Sosa respectively. And Dr. Mindbender is a lot like [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated The Headmaster]], minus the leetspeak. Tunnel Rat is a human [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Rat Trap.]]

* HourglassPlot: Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow share one. After Snake Eyes is accused of poisoning Hard Master, Snake Eyes is forced to flee the Arashikage and live as a ronin which sets him on the path of joining the Joes. Meanwhile, Storm Shadow becomes de facto leader of the clan with his uncle's death. Towards the end of the series, Storm Shadow realizes that he was indirectly responsible for Hard Master's death and exiles himself from the clan, while Snake Eyes's is absolved.

* RealityEnsues: On an occasion when Duke is arrested Scarlett tries to bluff her way into both a police station and a county record office by posing as a lawyer and a government agent respectively. Both attempts fail because the front desk staff at each location are cool-headed and competent enough to demand to see her identification then refuse her entry when she can’t produce it.

A reprisal is a retaliatory attack; this is now Role Reprise. It's also Trivia.


* RoleReprisal: Creator/CharlieAdler reprises his role as Cobra Commander from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeResolute''. However, this is the only role he reprised (Gung-Ho doesn't appear and Hard Master, Flint, and Stalker had different voice actors).

* TheManIsStickingItToTheMan: A borderline version, but the writers of a Hasbro property poking fun at corporate public relations in the first thirty seconds or so of the first episode might be a bit of this--Hasbro isn't nearly the size of, say, Halliburton (whose commercials would be in the category mocked), but it's still the kind of multinational MegaCorp that outsources manufacturing to Chinese companies that pay minimum wage...''Chinese'' minimum wage, even.

** Most versions of ''Franchise/GIJoe''[='=]s General Hawk has the use of both eyes. In ''Renegades'', [[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames General Abernathy]] is shown wearing an eyepatch over his right eye, suggesting at the least that he's lost the vision in it.
** As part of [[NonUniformUniform the rather lax dress code]] of [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero the original team]], Airtight wore a hazmat suit to protect himself. In ''Renegades'', he's infected with an infectous disease by Cobra and wear the suit to protect ''others'' from his condition.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: As the series progresses, this is the only thing that stops Cobra Commander from pulling a YouHaveFailedMe on his subordinates. A notable example: after the latest failure, CC considers offing Mindbender until the doctor smugly reminds him that only he can help with his deteriorating health. CC takes the point but still zaps him painfully just for not liking his tone.

* AdaptationalBadass:
** As is the trend, Cobra Commander is pretty far removed from the screechy and ineffectual BigBad of the 80's show. He is never caught off guard and when he vows vengence for a defeat he MEANS it.
** Major Bludd, too. His cornier elements are basically nonexistent. Although he still takes a lot of lumps, it only serves to emphasize how much of a {{Determinator}} he is. Even getting pummeled and losing an eye and an arm don't deter him from seeking vengeance.
* AdaptationalWimp: On the flip side, since Cobra Commander is so much more effective, Destro's attempts to backstab him get correspondingly ''in''effective, and he suffers a lot for his attempts.
