Did I miss something???

[JayC]

Im reading Serpentor's filecard on the 25th Annniversay figure and it says:

 

under the direction of THE INTERROGATOR and DESTRO, combed the tombs......

 

Shouldn't it be Dr. Mindbender and Destro????

[kingmoredred]

dude i just got my figs. into day and thought that dr. mindbender was going to be pretty upset about that so i ordered a interagator fig. from ebay just so when the 25th mindbender comes out he can kick intergators @$$ for trying to take the credit

That is what the original card said also - that came out 5 years before Interrogator.

 

Crystal Ball is referred to as an interrogator on his card (although he was 87 and Serpentor was 86) - I wonder if he was being referenced and the figure was pushed back - since he was a creepy kinda guy.

In the comic, who's idea was it to make Serpentor? That would probably settle the question. But yeah, I've known about this for about two years, and never attempted to figure it out.

the Interrogator is an early reference to Dr.Mindbender. I believe you can find it somewhere on YOJOE.com. I know ive heard it before.

Mindbender was also knowm as Dr.Brainwave

"Interrogator" was the original name for the character that became Dr.Mindbender. It was thought that "Interrogator" wasn't flashy and/or menacing enough for this mustachioed bald guy with a cape and monocle (Very cliche now that I think about it.). The Sepentor file card had already been sent to production without the name change beeing caught in time.

 

I really don't see why Hasbro couldn't have corrected it for the 25th line though.

I always liked that they didn't catch it. Lent a bit of mystery as to who the Interrogator was back then.

Come on Jay C, what kind of noob question is that!! Just for that, you get to peel the potatoes for KP duty!!!

[[GIJoe]Recondo]

Now he knows, and knowing is... well you know the rest

[Rodimus Primal]

Wow I did not know that. Man you guys are crazy with the filecards. We TF fans haven't taken the Tech Specs seriously in years. Just look at Rodimus Prime who is suppossed to be commander. A Protector?

Not sure if this will settle the debate or not...
