Collected all in one spot, the folks at The Hub have notified me that there is one central repository for all of the Renegades info revealed so far…  well apart from my own Renegades Superpage, that is.  And the YouTube Channel…  😉
Regardless, you can check out the central site right here, and the official press release reads as follows:
THE HUB TO PREMIERE NEW ORIGINAL SERIES ‘G.I. JOE RENEGADES’ DURING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WEEKEND
Premiere Event Includes: Back-to-Back Original Episodes; Behind-the-Scenes Special “Hub Exclusive: ‘G.I. Joe Renegades’”

The new animated series, a re-imagining of the popular, original series “G.I. Joe A Real American Hero,” takes viewers back to the origins of the G.I.

Starring in the series premiere are Lee Majors (“The Six Million Dollar Man”) as “General Abernathy,” and Charlie Adler, the original Cobra Commander from the animated series “G.I. Joe: Resolute,” who reprises his role in the new series. “G.I. Joe Renegades” also includes an all-star lineup of story editors, including Marty Isenberg (“Ben 10,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Batman the Animated Series”) and Henry Gilroy (“Star Wars: Clone Wars,” “The Tick” and “Batman the Animated Series.”)

Two minutes of unseen footage from G.I. Joe: Renegades!

by | Nov 23, 2010 | Comics and Cartoons, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe: Renegades

IGN is at it again, this time featuring another two full minutes of G.I. Joe: Renegades footage pulled from the two part series premier which airs Friday, November 26th at 5:00pm!  Giving us a brief introduction to several of the main characters and a nice peek at some action against the Bio-Viper, we start getting a better idea of what to expect from this new series.
While there certainly seems to be a somewhat humorous element, that’s mostly overshadowed by the action, and even with lasers instead of bullets, the firefight is pretty tense.
I will say right up front that I seriously hope the Bio-Viper does NOT become the defacto Cobra enemy in the series.  I don’t mind seeing them appear once in a great while, but if all of a sudden the Bio-Vipers make up the backbone of the Cobra army, I will be annoyed.  I want to see plenty of human-on-human combat here, too.
Check out the embedded clip below.

Thanks to the MS GulfCoast GIJoe Collectors Club for the heads up!

With a big thanks to kennywr22 for pointing out that the MSN TV Listings have been updated with a bit more info on G.I. Joe: Renegades episode 5.  “Return of the Arashikage Part 2” has the following description:

“The team regroups and hunts down their attacker.”

Thanks to TVGuide.com, though, we get even more details, including a surprise guest star!  I have put it after the break for spoiler purposes, so click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below for the full skinny.

Key plot details for G.I. Joe: Renegades revealed by Tactics game?

by | Nov 22, 2010 | Comics and Cartoons, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe: Renegades

Well, obviously we won’t know for sure until the episodes air, and these just MIGHT be spoilers (especially one key point), so I will post a list of potential episode plot details as I discover them within the G.I. Joe Renegades: Tactics game.  I’m going to try like hell do get through the whole thing so I can get as many details as possible.
From what I can tell by the basic storyline of the game, it seems to follow what we know about the Renegades animated series, so there is reason to believe certain events from the game will transfer over to the series.

IDW G.I. Joe Solicitations for February, 2011

by | Nov 22, 2010 | Comics and Cartoons, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Comics, G.I. Joe: Renegades, IDW

Straight from IDW, here is a list of solicitations coming from IDW next  February.  As usual there are a ton of G.I. Joe comics hitting stores that month, ranging from the old school to the next generation.  While I wasn’t wild about Agent Helix’s debut in the most recent issue of G.I. Joe, I still look forward to seeing her story evolve…and what the heck is up with “Dark Snake Eyes”?  Can we have a stretch of the “Real American Hero” that doesn’t include brainwashing?
While many folks will probably think I’m giddy about the Renegades comics, I’m pretty sure they’re just comic rehashes of cartoon episodes, so no thriller there, in my mind, but I’ll still grab ’em I’m sure.
