Grand Slam’s and Recondo’s hometowns are tight next to each other in western Wisconsin. Someone who helped with the file cards must have a connection to the area.

Love the early G.I.Joe stuff. These were such exciting toys back in 82' and 83'. Makes me want to read a G.I.Joe comic book (pre issue 28) or watch the first TV miniseries. Thanks for reviewing the original ARAH stuff. I know there not as popular, but that's my G.I.Joe. Best to you.

Thanks for watching! I started with the 1982 series, so they have a special place in my heart. Some of these older reviews may eventually be updated. I wouldn't mind looking at Grand Slam again.

I had one of these BEFORE having a vehicle to tow it, so what I did often was to detach it from the base and use it as a flying laser cannon.

This is one my favorite "vehicles" from 82, second to the VAMP. I played with it a lot as a kid. I really love Grand Slam. He is a great action figure. His file card makes his personality sound like an INFJ, personality.

Enjoying vintage vids! People get hung up on the Artillery part of the name. Really this is a piece of AAA, look at the kill marks, and the sticker that is placed on the control console. It functions much like the WWII 88mm gun. Anti aircraft nightmare, that when the ammo/shell is changed, it becomes a direct fire nightmare.

12:30 LOVED The strategic planning, just in case your about to goto war with cobra. Nice giving helpful hints for that! Perfect review all around. Thanks again, looking forward to the next video! PS Granslam (and Grunt) look like Boris Karloff, man is he hideous.

There are actually howitzers that have a seat side that look similar to the HAL. My Mother worked at the Rock Island Arsenal and bought this or me because this was what she sent around the world being in transportation.

Now I know why Grand Slam never appeared in the 80s Sunbow cartoon (and was restricted merely to the opening sequence of the five part pilot episode 'A Real American Hero' - one of the show's two miniseries, in his Heavy Artillery Laser) - he looked too similar to Flash. Hence, I was never a fan of Grand Slam.

I had a red coloured evil version of this as a kid, which I always thought was pretty imposing. Personally I always prefered the more science fiction stuff being the preserve of Cobra/other bad guys.

The weirdest part about Grand Slam for me is...laser artillery. The whole point of artillery is indirect fire. Lasers...can't do that, not without mirrors to redirect the beam...and that's a bit more ultra-tech than I'd imagine for G.I. Joe. Every other military niche is represented...but not artillery for some reason. Not for a long while do we get an actual artillery expert. Not counting Thunder, Short-Fuse, etc. I mean towed, heavy stuff.
