Awesome / G.I. Joe: Renegades

• At the end of "Cutting Edge" Jinx is cornered by a squadron of Destro's battle robots and about to be killed. Then both Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow come to her aide. The three of them are able to put their differences and vendettas aside, and the three of them curb stomp the bajeezus out of the robots. You might go blind watching it, because your eyes know they shan't witness anything as cool every again.
• The last two minutes of "The Enemy of My Enemy," covering the negotiations for Mars Industries into the COBRA family. The Commander has his giant snake hold Destro in its mouth until he agrees to hand over everything to COBRA, at which point he is spat out and the Commander puts on Destro's signature metal mask, as a symbol of his servitude. Oh, and to top in all off, the snake's name is apparently Serpentor.
• ANYTIME Snake Eyes fights.
  • With this in mind, Storm Shadow's first fight with him becomes a CMOA as well. The fight more or less ends in a draw. Why is this badass? Because Snake Eyes has, up to this point, been the Game-Breaker for the Joes - he's pert near curbstomped every baddie that's come his way. And again, Storm Shadow fights him to a draw. That's badass right there.
• How does Snake Eyes know which Duke is an imposter? He can hear the difference in their heartbeats.
• Tunnel Rat's brother, Teddy Lee, is pretty much made of awesome. Gets approached by brother and fugitive friends? Offers money and place to hide. Brother needs access to witness? Provides access no prob. Brother is wandering around sewers with confirmed-to-be dangerous sewer monster? Runs to provide backup. Sees giant blue snot-monsters for the very first time? Yells at brother to run while punching through one's stomach. Gets captured by giant blue snot-monsters and threatened by evil genius mind controlling them? Kicks evil genius in stomach when he gets too close. Sees a guy turn into a giant blue snot-monster? Just comments on need for brain-bleach. Gets shower of sewer sludge? "Oh now that's just perfect." Brother has been unable to contact family? Sneaks brother into building surrounded by MPs so he can visit their mother. Keep in mind, he's a civilian youth counselor, not a soldier.
• Snow Job. Not even Snake Eyes has beaten Storm Shadow yet, merely escaped him or slowed him down. Snow Job manages to blow Storm Shadow up, along with half a dozen bio-vipers with Storm Shadow's skillset. And then he skis out of the explosion, out-racing an avalanche, and adopts a wolf.
• Red Star is so badass, he's the only non-ninja to ever fight Snake Eyes on an even playing field. First he corners both Snake Eyes and Scarlett in the castle's kitchens, managing to subdue them both, and then fight all of the Joes simultaneously, before blowing the kitchen up with himself still inside it. Later, he whacks Snake Eyes in the back of the head with his own snowboard.
• Major Bludd shrugging off everything the Joes throw his way.
• Gabriel A. Kelly, a Cobra Firefighter and Emergency Personnel, eventually dubbed Barbecue, proved just as gung-ho awesome and unflinchingly brave as the likes of Duke and a number of others.
  • While he starts off pleading Cobra's innocent case to the angry townsfolk, when the Mayor's house gets set on fire, he's the first (and only) Cobra Firefighter on the job to put out the blaze before it does any real damage. That alone shows he takes his job seriously and cares for people first. Not long after, he takes it upon himself to apprehend the fugitives, sneaking on board the Coyote and arming himself with a hatchet to go on the offensive if need be. He gets stopped, of course, and finally gets shown the truth about the arsonist who started the fire. Despite having sung Cobra's praises, he completely willing to turn on them for the people sake, volunteering to operate and open up the dam, and when that fails, he helps rig explosives to blow it up. When Firefly tries to stop them in the helicopter Barbecue and Roadblock were using to plant the explosives, he quickly turns the tables on Firefly before launching himself at the arsonist effectively midair in the helicopter, successfully wrestling the crazed mercenary. And when it looks like his and Roadblock's only recourse to dowse the new flames engulfing the town is to blow the dam up while they hang by its wall-side, he doesn't hesitate to sacrifice his life to do so alongside the mutually resolved Roadblock. (They're rescued in time, of course.) For a seemingly random Emergency Personnel employed by Cobra, Barbecue turned out to be completely awesome!
  Firefly: Oooh, but we're on the same side, Fireman!
  Barbecue: (while struggling to hold Firefly down) No. We're not. Tell Baroness, "I quit"!
