Name: Sigma 6

I think it would be interesting to comment on where the name Sigma 6 came from. Not actually being much of a fan I thought it was just a cool sounding name, and that there must be 6 in the team. Does it have anything to do with Six Sigma?

The team is called Sigma, and they supposedly have six crew members, even though they keep Hi-Tech out, which should've made it Sigma 7. -WarthogDemon 05:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the documentation for that? Because I have been trying to findout if the name was derived from Six Sigma as well. I can't find anything official explaining where the name came from. So if the reason is "the team is called Sigma and the supposedly have six crew members" is that supposition or did Hasbro say that somewhere? Did someone at Hasbro hear about Six Sigma and thought the alliteration was interesting and decided to adapt the name? Is it a coincidence? If someone out there has specifics and a source they can cite, I think the origin of the name should be made a part of this entry.

Sigma Six was the original name of Pink Floyd. That's probably where they got the name. J'onn J'onzz (talk) 23:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Why does G.I. Joe get criticized by some fans here of having divergent continuities? By now, everyone should know that the cartoon and comics are separate continuities. Also, it's been already covered in the cartoon article that the original animated series and the CGI movies themselves don't share continuity. And we don't have any reason to assume Sigma 6 would be in continuity with any previous incarnations. And now somebody creates a section here criticizing the creators of Sigma 6 for diverging continuity. How come other properties like Transformers and Gundam not get this criticism? Why G.I. Joe? And not just any criticism, it's a personal criticism lambasting Sigma 6 for what? Having a different take on Joe continuity?

I've had to put up with this in Snake-Eyes (G.I. Joe) and Scarlett (G.I. Joe), and now a separate new take on G.I. Joe?!! I could remove the offending section right now, but I thought I'd give a heads up on anyone who wrote this offending section that this breaks the neutrality Wikipedia is striving for. I don't want to have to play some kind of tug of war where I remove the bad sections only to have them placed back by the contributor who can't be satisfied with the difference. --Destron Commander 01:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What we know

We all see things differently, and blended with our previous knowlege; it colors our world. I for one had a spesial liking for the Ninjas in Gi Joe, and when the story is so far from previous publications, it is upsetting. The criticism is not only for Sigma 6, but my knowlege is around this story, not Transformers and Gundam. To venture into a debate about these series would not bode well for me and my lacking knowlege about them.

But anyway, I feel that the story could just as well have been according to the previous publications. The story would be almost the same, because Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes is almost brothers. You could call them "Brothers in Arms". But it would not surprise me that the makers of Sigma 6 just snapped up "Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes = brothers", and with lack of knowlege, they made them "real brothers". Why else would they change the story?

If my thoughts about this could be expressed in a more neutral way, be my guest to change it. But it should be stated that the story has been changed, and the world should know how the story was told before. -- Sascha Gabor

I'm sorry if I seemed so upsetting but like I said, I had to put up with another guy who cannot get over how Sunbow ignored the Snake-Eyes/Scarlett romance. Since this site aims to be encyclopedic, what we should do is note the differences in the series. The contributors to the Transformers section have done a pretty good job, I think. So, in the case of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow, they have their own wikipedia pages, I think it best to note the continuity differences there. --Destron Commander 00:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Difference

There is a slight difference in significance between the romance of Snake Eyes and Scarlett, and whether Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are real brothers. A romance can be terminated, this can not be done with a brotherhood. I still say the story was altered because of ignorance. -- Sascha Gabor

Character Info

Some of the character info isn't accurate, specifically Lt. Stone's. In Sigma 6, he's a vastly different character then the character with the same name from GI Joe Extreme. And some characters have no bio outright. Anyone interested in fixing this? I'm unsure how the creation of a Wikipage works so I'm reluctant to do so. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.105.96.47 (talk) 01:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Lost Missions

I noticed that on the Hasbro site, they now refer to the Sigma 6 time as Lost Missions. They have several episodes of Sigma 6 with a different opening as well. http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/en_US/play/entertainment.cfm Where would this fit into the article?

SNAKE EYES SPEAKS???

Snake eyes is listed as having a voice actor. THAT can't be right. -User:Bonescrusher —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.203.211 (talk) 00:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Toys / R.O.C.C.

Hello? Earth to dumbasses!

It is not anime! It's http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Animesque. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.65.212.21 (talk) 00:05, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late, but it is. G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 was produced, writen, directed, animated, sound designed, etc., by the Japanese studio, Gonzo, similar to what had occurred during Transformers Galaxy Force/Cybertron. The concept and origin of the series is indeed American, but you have to remember though, this is a co-production. Japan handled most of the series production duties, while most of the story concepts and what not (from my understanding) were American. It isn't just "stylized" as "anime", but it was produced almost entirely by a Japanese studio. And to be honest, while may not completely pertain to the subject, I am starting to increasingly dislike the usage of the word anime more and more, due to the simple fact it is being misused how we have originally adapted the word. So please, make sure you understand the meaning of the word we adapted it to be used for, before making such claims. Mendinso (talk) 10:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
