Bebop was turn into a human cyborg, . However, though the transformation did make him larger and stronger, he remained incompetent simpletons and were completely inept at stopping the Joe's or carrying out Cobra Commander's plans.For most the most he was employed for comic relief purposes; however, the Joe's certainly consider him to be formidable (despite his stupidity) in combat due to his great strength and endurance, and as such, often use his intelligence to outwit them rather than fighting them in a straightforward manner. , .
