At JoeCon in Kansas City, the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA panel just ended, and I have the full archive of the “Cover it Live” coverage from The Terror Drome hosted after the jump. Some pretty cool insight within!

Next in line is the G.I. Joe 2010 Marketing Panel… will cover that as well!

TheTerrorDrome.com:  Welcome back Joe fans. The panel should be kicking off shortly, stay tuned for updates.

1:07
TheTerrorDrome.com:  Just received word that , for now, the panel consists of only Hasbro reps.
1:10
Twitter terrordrome:  Movie panel led by Faces. Hamas on the panel.
1:10
Twitter terrordrome:  Larry Hama received applause. Who is that guy? “I’m basically a guy who sits at home and makes stuff up”
1:12
Twitter terrordrome:  Almost all Q&A after introductions.
1:13
Twitter terrordrome:  Question: “Can you share how Paramount views the brand?”
1:13

1:14
Twitter terrordrome:  “often we get whose going to play gijoe? So we say just wait for the trailer.”
1:16

1:16

How soon would a 2nd movie come out? Romur was next year…
1:18
Twitter terrordrome:  To Hama: “Did you ever imagine 20 years later you’d still be part of gijoe?”
1:19
Twitter terrordrome:  “No. Toy lines last 2-3 years. Comics too.”
1:19
Twitter terrordrome:  Hama is afraid of Cabbage Patch dolls. Must get rid of them all!
1:19
Twitter terrordrome:  Hero worship ftw!
1:20
TheTerrorDrome.com:  @  spacemonkeymafia  Paramount is “in talks” but their official answer was “we hope a sequel is made”
1:20
Twitter terrordrome:  Hama: “it’s good for me!”
1:21
Twitter terrordrome:  “Rule: Top rated artists couldn’t work in licensed books. Cost too much. ”
1:26
Twitter terrordrome:  The questions so far have been too deep to update it all.
1:26
Twitter terrordrome:  DEEP! Like an ocean of knowledge that I can’t keep up with.
1:27
Twitter terrordrome:  “Why the vow of silence and not the personal tragedy?”
1:29
Twitter terrordrome:  That line of dialogue was out at one point. People were confused about why he didn’t speak. ESP if he has a mouth on his mask!
1:29
Twitter terrordrome:  For those who don’t know: Its a movie. Deal.

GI Joe 2 one name Serpentor….make it happen….
1:30
Twitter terrordrome:  Put it back in to solve problems. Like world hunger on a gijoe scale. (I made that up btw)
1:31
TheTerrorDrome.com:  Quoting JBL coverage -“Larry is holding his ground on the se issue. It fits the story engine he says.”

[Comment From stalker711]

1:32
Twitter terrordrome:  Arashikage tattoo was “just something I could easily remeber”
1:33
TheTerrorDrome.com:  @ stalker711- The sequel isnt far enough along for them to have “for sure” answers to that question.
1:34
[Comment From Snake Eyes]
Was there an answer to the “why no personal tragedy?” question?
1:34
TheTerrorDrome.com:  @ Snake Eyes- Check post 1:31
1:35
Twitter terrordrome:  Lannys son asked why SE went from Commando to Ninja. And why?
1:35
Twitter terrordrome:  Ten black and white drawings of characters. One was SE and it was labeled “Commando” and that’s all I had.
1:35
[Comment From spacemonkeymafia]

1:36
TheTerrorDrome.com:  @  spacemonkeymafia- 1:33 is for you as well 😛
1:36
Twitter terrordrome:  I decided to make him really Badass but leave it all unknown. It’s very ninjaesque.
1:36
Twitter terrordrome:  But then Cobra got a ninja. A ninja in all white!
1:36
Twitter terrordrome:  Needed a counter balance. Great visual bit. Guy in black vs a guy in white.
1:37
[Comment From stalker711]

1:38
TheTerrorDrome.com:  @ stalker711- as for now “yes” but things may change
1:38
