Action Force Canon
Due to its split comic book heritage, there are some irreconcilable difficulties regarding the continuity of Action Force storylines. The Battle Action Force universe should be regarded as stand-alone, while the Marvel UK stories were designed to coincide with Marvel US continuity.
The Battle Action Force creators retconned several aspects of the series to smooth over the transition to G.I. Joe-influenced characters and vehicles. However, due to fan pressure, the first wave of Palitoy releases and characters returned to the pages of the comic time and time again (see above).
Several fan attempts have been made to establish an official Action Force canon, building on accepted official works (such as the Battle Action Force publications and Palitoy-endorsed releases). The most comprehensive of these to date is the Action Force Datafiles.

“The body, what is it, Father, but a sign
To love the force that grows us, to give back
What in Thy palm is senselessness and mud?”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“There is a Canon which confines
A Rhymed Octosyllabic Curse
If written in Iambic Verse
To fifty lines.”
