The countdown continues… as the Hub’s Twitter Page has stated, only 59 days to go until the big debut of The Hub, and already the online home of the new Hasbro and Discovery co-owned channel is putting up some images and details of the upcoming animated series.
Of course, you can find the entry for G.I. Joe: Renegades right here. Details are below:
“Branded as renegades for crimes they did not commit, a heroic group of young G.I.s is forced to “turn fugitive” as they battle to clear their names, and expose the evil that is Cobra Industries — a seemingly benevolent mega-corporation covertly controlled by a rogues gallery intent on creating a New World Order.”
no images were found
A big thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com for digging up the intel.
Yeah, I’m a little fired up over here. Can’t wait for G.I. Joe to hit the animated circuit again, and by all accounts, everyone involved has an accomplished resume in the field. I think the folks who are excited are going to be even more excited, and even some of the folks not so excited are gonna start getting turned around. Good stuff coming.
Cool news, thanks for sharing Justin!
horrific.
Hey, at least you’re keeping an open mind.
I have a mild interest but that cel looks awfully rough.
Awful!
There will be figures of this..ehh..”brand”? Does anybody see their mixed with other joe figs?
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they are still working on the characters.
I hope, oh God I hope, that the biovipers we saw are not the reoccurring “bad guys we can kill cause they ain’t human”.
If I don’t see B.A.T.S,then my interest will start to fly south along with the potential I thought the series had.

LOL…….hey look…i was the champion of “open mindedness” when most others were bashing Rise of Cobra last year…so lord knows i can accept “non-traditional” Joe material. however, this animation style just isnt doing anything for me. perhaps the story will be good enough to make me not notice the anime-tion…we shall see.
oh, and if anyone is wondering how my open mind reacted to Rise of Cobra….im up to 16 viewings.
Hey, that’s cool, and sorry to jump on you, I just see the same rage and venom everywhere, and all coming from people who haven’t seen more than 5 images and 12 seconds of animation. I’m just hoping folks will give it a chance, because I think lots of people will like it, if they at least try it.

I’m more concerned with what the figures will look like than what the cartoon looks like. 🙂
@Justin
Of course I´ll give it a chance (since I can reach it on the net); after all, it´s GIJoe!
My concerns are about the figures…if Hasbro replaces those awesome PoC figs for a line based on the designs we have seen on those images, it probably will result on “strange” toys, that won´t mix with previous lines.
Besides, there will be another massive assortment of Dukes, CCs, SEs and SSs again…
I tend to think that these are still more or less concept images. Are these actually cells or stills from video? I don’t think they are.
