The emphasis is on classic characters Flint, Lady Jaye, Destro, the Baroness, and Cobra Commander; the Joes are using Dragonfly helicopters instead of the newer Tomahawks; Cobra is using Rattlers instead of the newer Night Ravens; Firebats are colored silver instead of the red from Season 2; Cobra Soldiers are the Cobra infantry troopers instead of Vipers; and Cobra Commander appears to still be in charge of Cobra.
