Continuity: At the end of "The Traitor, Part 1", Duke is put in a coma that he does not come out of until the end of part 2. However, when the GI Joe grunts are seen scaling the arena walls and begin attacking the Crimson Guard Commanders Xamot and Tomax, Duke can clearly be seen climbing with the grunts and diving on top of the twins.

Quotes:

Sci-Fi: [in response to the uncooperative French mayor] So what do we do, General?
Gen. Hawk: Well, if we were Cobra, I'd say run him over.
