All the Soldiers and Serpentor are bald. G.I. Joe shouldn't fear a bunch of bald men with guns. :p

Seriously though why did they make them all bald?

Probably the same reasons (http://www.ecolonel.com/military-haircuts.html) that legitimate military forces give buzz cuts.

Or its a side effect of cloning...

Hail Nobra!!!!!

I'd say that baldness breeds conformity. Everybody looks kind of the same if they're all white, bald, and has a mask over their mouth. Serpentor does it just to show that he's "down" with the grunts, as if to say, "Look, I may be created from a bunch of dead tyrants, but deep down, I'm just like you. Not like that prick Zartan, with his hippie hair...or cowl....what the heck is on that guy's head anyway? Can anyone help a Snake God out?"

Hasbro's easy way to get a helmet to fit. Sculpted hair would make it harder. Stupid way to cut corners.

The man is keeping them down. That's why they are terrorists.

I would say maybe the helmets rub the hair off in some places and it would look awkward if they didn't just shave it off.Kinda like bed head or that line you get when you were a Ball cap.:D

It's either:
1) Bad genes
or
2) The stress that comes with hearing "RETREAT!!!!!!!!!" yelled over and over again.

I tend to agree with the automaton theory. Cobra Commander has a faceless shapeless head, you would think his hoards of minions would be the same. Look at the Crimson guard, they are all made to look exactly the same.

Personally, I like the look. It makes for a nice uniform military.

Yes, exactly. Militaries give buzz cuts, they don't shave it off.

It seems clear enough to me - Cobra's medical plan just doesn't cover Rogaine.

Maybe they have to donate it to Dr. Mindbender for some "Hairbrain Project".

Priceless absolutely priceless
He may never get "Ahead" of the game
How will he deal in a "Hairy" situation

Seems to me like the helmets wouldn't have fit as snugly if the troops had hair. I'm sure hasbro did it for that reason.
