* indicates the character was silent during the episode
Due to the large number of Joes heard in the episode, a shortcut may have been taken to avoid going over the voice actor budget. As Ripcord is checking in with Duke by radio, the engines of his Skystriker are louder than normal, thus drowning his voice.
You know you are watching a Marvel Production when you hear Zartan ask: "You were expecting maybe Spider-Man?" (Matthew Pak's 3 3/4" G.I.Joe Collector Guide - Volume Two: The Television Episodes)
As Scarlett asks Rock 'n' Roll to drive closer to a FANG helicopter, the scrolling background of the Joes' base is recycled and jumps slightly as it is repeated.

| Since Zartan's arms are usually bare, the image on the left shows an inking job that was a little too ambitious. |
