Whenever G.I. Joe and Cobra troops are engaged in a firefight, the Joes' gunfire produces orange muzzle flare, while the Cobras' gunfire produces blue muzzle flare. Just like in G.I. Joe (1985).
The series writer Warren Ellis had no prior knowledge of G.I. Joe, which he claims is why producer Sam Register brought him on board: "It went like this: Sam Register phoned me up and said 'We'd really like you to write a G.I. JOE animation, at a PG-13 rating, aimed at an older viewer.' I said 'I've never seen a G.I. JOE cartoon in my life. The closest I got to a G.I. JOE comic was drinking with Larry Hama. I've never even seen a G.I. JOE; couldn't tell you what they look like if you paid me. I know nothing about G.I. JOE. It is meaningless in my world.' 'Excellent,' Sam said, 'just the guy we need.' It was hard not to notice, at this point, that Sam Register is crazier than a shithouse rat. Therefore I decided to take the job."
The female Joe Dial-Tone was originally just a background character, but due to the amount of dialogue she had, the producers said she should be a Joe. Warren Ellis named her Dial-Tone because he thought it was an amusing codename.
The H.A.A.R.P. (High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program) program really exists in Alaska, and it looks almost exactly the way it is depicted in this cartoon.
Scarlett being forced to choose between Duke and Snake-Eyes is a reference to one of the splits between the G.I. JOE comic and cartoon: in most continuities, she is romantically linked with Snake-Eyes, but since G.I. Joe (1985) heavily downplayed his role, she was instead paired with Duke.
"Cobra Commander: And this is how I win the world. This juncture, of course, is usually where the wheels come off. But not this time! Cutting the traitor Major Bludd's heart in half right in front of you, right here in this room, should have gotten the point across. It suited me once to appear weak and cowardly, because it motivated you people to *think*. But today... is a new day. There will be no move to take over my command. There will be no mistakes. There will be none of your CRAP! NONE OF IT! Work with me, and I will give you the world in less than 24 hours. Work against me, and I will GUT you like a fish... right here."
"Cobra Commander: Good morning. I use the name Cobra Commander, and I am the founder of Cobra, an organization you great and glorious people tend to dismiss as 'criminals'. I have always believed that money brings power. This was an error that has cost me a LOT of pain. It recently occured to me, however, that if I have all the power, then everyone would bring me all the money. I therefore make the following proposition. You have 24 hours to turn control of your nations over to me or begin killing nations until such time as you hand over the keys. Now, obviously, no one is going to believe me, and all of you will attempt to mobilize against me. And so I illustrate my point. [He shows the UN Assembly some footage of a super charged particle cannon destorying Moscow and killing its 10 million inhabitants, leaving them aghast] Cobra Commander: You have 24 hours."
