Wallace Weems is a smart mouthed daredevil and is responsible for many of the team's nicknames. He was supposedly killed in an explosion in "The Descent" Pt. 1 when a Bio-Viper grabbed him. In "Prodigal," Ripcord is found alive in a Cobra-run medical facility under the alias Patient X. Having lost his memory in the explosion, interaction with the Joes helps to bring it back. He and the Joes soon learn he had been experimented on by Doctor Mindbender and Cobra Commander causing him to become a hybrid of both. With a proximity remote signal, the Cobra Drones broadcasting the signal can transform him into a Bio-Viper. After transforming inside one of Flint's helicopters, Duke helps Ripcord calm down even with a robot transmitting the activation signal. He then rejoins the Joes, but Cobra Commander vows to reclaim Ripcord alive and intact. Ripcord would later gain full control over his powers as a Bio-Viper in the episode "The Anomaly" thanks to a Sewage-Viper that removed the chip from his head.

) - Alvin Kibbey is a college student who used to work for SSS Mart (which is owned by Cobra Industries) until he was fired upon being accused of stealing one of their scanners (which he secretly did after that). Alvin ends up starting an Anti-Cobra blog under the alias of the "Coyote". G.I. Joe ends up stumbling upon a plot to dispose of him when they managed to discover that a package to him had a detonator. When they find Alvin, he recognizes Scarlett by her blog screen name. Alvin explains that the scanner he stole contains the info on any illegal weapon sellings that SSS Mart has been doing. G.I. Joe ends up protecting him when Baroness sends Major Bludd to assassinate him. Even though Major Bludd threw his knife at Alvin's backpack, it ended up destroying the scanner. When G.I. Joe fled, Alvin managed to rewire the detonator that was meant for him which blew up the warehouse costing Major Bludd his left eye. Seeing as Cobra thinks he's dead, Alvin joins up with G.I. Joe under the codename "Breaker" while Roadblock names their transport the "Coyote." In the episode "Return of the Arashikage" Pt. 1, it appears that Breaker has been placed in a hidden location by G.I. Joe in order to find any other evidence that would expose the illegal activities of Cobra Industries. In "The Enemy of My Enemy," Breaker is mentioned to have some informants working for him to supply any info to G.I. Joe....if those informants aren't killed by one of Cobra Commander's operatives first. At the end of "Revelations" Pt. 2, it was revealed that he joined the Falcons as their newest member when proof of Cobra Industries' illegal activities were presented to General Abernathy.

Dashiell Faireborn has been locking horns with Duke since high school and that's one of the many reasons why he's tracking Duke now. Flint might seem cocky, but he's a decent guy, even if he doesn't believe Cobra is evil and is all about bringing in Duke's team. His history with Duke started when he was on an opposing team at a high school football match as seen in a flashback in "Homecoming" Pt. 1. He prevented Duke from scoring a touchdown and inadvertently broke his leg, costing Duke college scholarships. When he encountered Duke later, Flint got him enrolled in the army and thereafter took an interest in his career. It is revealed in a flashback that Flint put the (then) Corporal Hauser forward for a decoration for his role in saving the life of a soldier who had stepped on a mine. - Lady Jaye (voiced by Nika FuttermanNika FuttermanNika Futterman is an American actress, singer, voice artist, and comedienne.She did the vocals "Give it to me, baby" in The Offspring hit single "Pretty Fly ."-Animated Series:...

hired by the Baroness to eliminate ex-Cobra Industries employee turned Anti-Cobra internet blogger Alvin Kibbey when a mail bomb plot (meant for Kibbey) is foiled by the Renegades. In his first encounter with the Joes, Major Bludd locates his target, but Kibbey is saved by the Renegades. Major Bludd tracks them to a SSS mart warehouse (part of Cobra illegal weapons business) and manages to hit Kibbey with a knife seemingly killing him. Fortunately, the knife hits Kibbey's backpack and not him, but it hit the stolen Cobra scanner it contained. Major Bludd is caught in the warehouse explosion caused by Kibbey's rewired mail bomb when he returned the bomb back to its sender. But he survives and reports to Baroness that he has eliminated his target. As he holds his hand over his injured left eye, Major Bludd tells Baroness that he will do any job to take on the Renegades for free (as he blames them for his new injury). In "Cousins", when he was hunting the Joes, he accidentally got in a tussle with an alligator.

However, the Hard Master accidentally drank the tea and Tomisaburo projected the blame on Snake Eyes with intent to kill him while taking over the Arashikage clan. Upon learning that Snake Eyes is alive and with the G.I. Joe team that Snake Eyes is a part of making the news, Storm Shadow trails them to Snake Eyes' hidden dojo. Managing to obtain Jinx and the Arashikage Clan's sword, Storm Shadow leaves his cousin to run their clan while he pursues the G.I. Joe team in order to finish the job.

- The Techno-Viper is an energy-draining Bio Viper that can manipulate any technology that it acquires. Due to the prototype Techno-Viper being uncontrollable, Cobra Industries had to put it into a container and keep it in cold temperatures. G.I. Joe had found a container consisting of a prototype Techno-Viper in the arctic circle.

It ended up abducting a kid named Reggie and took him into the sewers after beating up a tough kid named Ray. Cobra Commander sent Doctor Mindbender to reclaim the Sewer Viper before it can be caught by the authorities. At the same time, Duke, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat, and Ripcord descend into the sewers to find Reggie and the Sewer Viper. When Reggie appeared during the conflict, Roadblock took Reggie to the surface while the others fought the Sewer Viper. Reggie claimed the Sewer Viper protected him when no one else did. Ripcord even stated that the Sewer Viper has a conscience. When Doctor Mindbender captured the Joes and Tunnel Rat's brother Teddy in the subway, the Sewer Viper arrived and attacked Doctor Mindbender and the Bio-Vipers with him. Doctor Mindbender's neuro-link helmet couldn't control the Sewer Viper due to a lack of a control chip. The Sewer Viper managed to remove the control chip from Ripcord. The Sewer Viper sacrifices itself to absorb the explosion from the fail-safe that Doctor Mindbender installed in the Bio-Vipers' control chips.

and former Cobra Industries worker who now charters people across the ocean for money on his vessel called Courtney. Shipwreck got his nickname when he had his ship sunk by Cobra Industries after he wouldn't dump some chemicals at sea on their behalf. So they sank his ship and blamed him for it. G.I. Joe ends up having to trade the Coyote in order to carry them on their ship to Washington D.C. During the cruise, the Joes container gets loose unleashing an energy-draining Techno-Viper that drains the electricity from the ship. Shipwreck ends up helping the Joes when it comes to stopping the Techno-Viper before it reaches a heavily-populated area. Despite Shipwreck not wanting to lose another ship, the Joes had no choice but to sink his ship. They had to use fire extinguishers in order to take down the Techno-Viper instead of their plasma guns because it was feeding off its electricity and it hated the cold blasts from the extinguishers. Shipwreck still wouldn't lose "Courtney" causing Roadblock to drive the Coyote that the Techno-Viper leeched itself onto into the water. Luckily, "Courtney" managed to catch the Coyote in its net and Shipwreck gives Roadblock his beloved truck back. After a brief communication with the USS Flagg, Shipwreck joins up with G.I. Joe when the Techno-Viper's signal is traced to Scotland as he still has a score to settle with Cobra Industries.

The Coyote was affectionately named by Roadblock who treats the truck like a "best friend" as Tunnel Rat pointed out. According to Breaker, it contains multiple defense options, including a manned plasma turret, rear-end shielding, camouflage technology and a supercharger that can make the vehicle accelerate to high speeds. In "Shipwrecked", when a Techno-Viper hijacked the Coyote, it revealed other types of weaponry that Breaker didn't know about.
