Sgt. Savage
| The name or term "Savage" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Savage (disambiguation). |
- Sgt. Savage is a G.I. Joe from the G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sergeant Robert Steven Savage, AKA Sgt. Savage, was a highly decorated U.S. Army soldier during World War II. On a fateful mission to destroy a secret enemy research bunker, his squad was betrayed by one of its own men — who was really the evil I.R.O.N. Army mastermind General Blitz! Captured, Savage was used as a guinea pig for a super soldier process, and ended up cryogenically frozen for decades. Thawed in the modern era, he joined the team of heroes called G.I. Joe.
While he is courageous in battle, Sgt. Savage fears one thing and one thing only: Captain America's lawyers.

Notes
- Savage hails from Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles, an early '90s attempt to rebrand the G.I. Joe toyline to stave off faltering sales. The idea was dropped when the Kenner offices took over Hasbro's "boys's toys" brands and repackaged the franchise as G.I. Joe Extreme; a redesigned Savage was transported over to Extreme, leaving poor General Blitz behind (though an ex-I.R.O.N. Army scientist would appear in one episode). Savage's Art of War appearance uses his G.I. Joe Extreme character design rather than the design from his own series.
- Coincidentally enough, Savage was voiced by Scott McNeil in his one-shot direct-to-video featurette and Michael Dobson in G.I. Joe Extreme. Voice crossover is fun!
