How many would you have recognized right off?
Hawk, thanks to the leather jacket and the being played by Dennis freaking Quaid.
Duke, thanks to the scar.
Breaker, if shown in his Reactive Armor gear, thanks to the comm rig.
Heavy Duty, thanks to the huge gun and being huge without being bald and goatee'd.
Destro, for being played by a Scotsman. More so if the image showed him post-transformation.
Cobra Commander, thanks to the long coat and the reflective silver mask that happens to be vaguely snake-themed.
Really? The very first promo pictures you figured out every character?
I'll have to watch the movie again, but I don't recall DQ wearing a leather jacket.
Breaker? Really? you saw a French guy of Mediterrainian heritage with a thin mustache as Breaker? His comm gear in the first promo picture wasn't anything more than a regular SpecOps guy would carry, plus no bubble gum.
Did you know Destro was Scottish by looking at the picture? I saw a well dressed guy who ran a high end car theft ring in Long Beach without a trace of a silver face mask. (Woo-Hoo, two hanging participles in one sentance!)
Heavy Duty, well maybe, he just wasn't a character I was familiar with.
And Doctor Cobra Commander? I thought he was Dr. Minbender and as CC, I had no idea, in fact I thought
he was Destro.
Jay, I'm not trying bust your balls here and start any kind of argument, just having some fun, but I'm just saying that if you took the actors from the video I posted and compare them to the actors from RoC and showed them to the average fan, I'd be willing to bet that they could identify all the actors from the video and only the obvious (SE, SS, Scarlett and Baroness) actors from RoC. (By actors I mean the costumes)
