Stalwart G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra fans (who are probably few and far between) likely remember the Facebook game that came out around the release of the film. It involved facing off one-on-one against another opponent, picking your trooper, and upgrading their equipment as you fight others and increase your experience.
It wasn’t the most interesting or captivating game, but it provided a look at some interesting artwork as the game progressed and you upgraded your uniform.
Well, the artist for this Facebook game, Jason Badower has a blog, and way back in January posted some of the artwork that was used in the Facebook game. A lot of it is stuff I hadn’t seen before, and even the stuff that was seen in the game is interesting to see in a different context.
Check out Jason’s excellent blog right here, and the mirrored images are hosted below.

Thanks to Dark Jedi from JoeCustoms.com for digging up these images.
TVGuide.com has finally updated their G.I. Joe: Renegades Episode Guide, this time with some information on the upcoming Homecoming 2-Parter, which includes Episodes 6 and 7. According to TVGuide.com (and other online listings sites) this two-parter will air on Christmas Eve.
The following details about these two episodes are as follows:
Episode 6 – Part 1 of 2. Duke protects his family, which has been targeted by Cobra, while the team sneaks into Cobra’s Christmas party.
Episode 7 – Conclusion of 2. Baroness tries to hijack the Joes as they are being transported into custody by Flint and Lady Jaye so that she can gain control of the secrets stored on Cobra’s drive.
The information about Duke’s family has been revealed before, but the tidbits about the Joes being taken into custody is certainly news! Can’t wait to see how it evolves.
Combing The Hub this week as a new episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades is slated to air Friday night, fellow Renegades fanatic kennywr22 alerted me to a “3 Day Weekend” promo running throughout The Hub’s prime time programming featuring a VERY short bit of new footage from the upcoming episode.
Really, nothing is revealed. It’s pretty much Roadblock kicking down a chain link fence, him and Tunnel Rat unloading on some unseen enemy, and a dude in glasses talking in a British accent. Of course, Major Bludd is supposedly appearing this week… could he have regained an eye and started wearing spectacles? Somehow I doubt it.
Anyway, check out the embedded video below. And for you Renegades haters, don’t worry, my Pursuit of Cobra figures are arriving tomorrow, so I’ll be giving them a healthy dose of love in the coming days as well.
While I eagerly await the arrival of Wave 3 of the Pursuit of Cobra figures (slated to appear on my doorstep tomorrow), GeneralsJoes reader Nikolai has done us all a favor and taken some great pics for the site!
Check them out below. These figures look awesome. The cartoon is all well and good, but it’s been too long since there were new toys to talk about.

A big thanks to Nikolai for taking these pictures! Hot damn I can’t wait until tomorrow afternoon. Snake Eyes and Shock Trooper alone may put me into anaphylactic shock. With Renegades following up on Friday afternoon, this will be a great week for G.I. Joe.
First of all… spoilers are ABOUND.
If you have not yet watched G.I. Joe: Renegades and you don’t want to be spoiled, turn away now. Discussion will be forthcoming about the events in the original 2-parter…
Okay, then. (more…)
