Big G.I. Joe: Renegades News – Character Bio's Revealed!

As I suspected in an earlier post, the Hub media event today did yield some very juicy tidbits from the G.I. Joe: Renegades universe…namely bio’s of pretty much the entirety of the main cast of characters from both sides!  Not only do we get some more details on the characters we know, but we find out a bit about some folks we hadn’t heard of before.  Very cool.
Click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below for the full details, and expect this all to be transcribed to the Renegades SuperPage swiftly.

G.I. Joe: Renegades and Transformers: Prime the main focus of Hub Programming

Even now, while there’s a Corporate Lunch going on with several Hasbro and Hub execs, we have some information from a Webcast that was broadcast revealing information about The Hub and the focus of their programming.  Big thanks to the guys over at TFW2005 who have gathered a bunch of this information together for our consumption.  Their focus is obviously on the Transformers end of it, but I’m currently listening to the webcast now to try and get information gathered for G.I. Joe: Renegades, and will present whatever I find right here.
At this point, the following information has been gleaned from TFW2005:

  • G.I. Joe: Renegades will air in an afternoon “block” with Transformers: Prime at 3:00pm.
  • The Hub website is in production, and will apparently have a full “launch” September 27th with a wealth of added content
  • G.I. Joe: Renegades and Transformers: Prime are the main focus of Hub production and programming

Apparently there were also video clips shown, sound clips, and other details that are unavailable through the webcast, but it’s hypothosized that it’s mostly the same as what we’ve seen.
If there are more details buried in the webcast, I’ll try and pull ’em out for everyone.

Transformers: Animated writer Marty Isenberg involved with G.I. Joe: Renegades

I hadn’t heard his name mentioned in connection with G.I. Joe: Renegades yet, but in looking at the SDCC videos I just posted about, he was actually in attendance at the round table for the Renegades panel, apparently working alongside Henry Gilroy.
Perhaps best known for being one of the head writers for the fandom-acclaimed Transformers: Animated series, he also has a wealth of other animation experience, including significant writing work on Ben10, the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, and Legion of Super Heroes.  His work also goes back to the good old 1990’s, where comic animation first really hit the mainstream, and he had his fingers in all of it, having a large role in Spider-Man and X-Men, and writing some well-received episodes of Batman: The Animated Series as well.
You can check out his IMDB profile right here.

G.I. Joe: Renegades SDCC Panel Full Video on YouTube

So, for a week or two now we’ve heard debate over what was revealed at SDCC from a G.I. Joe: Renegades perspective.  Now, thanks to “OpenYourToys” on YouTube, you can watch the entire SDCC panel yourself!
I have, of course, mirrored the videos on the G.I. Joe: Renegades SuperPage as well.
At the risk of being labelled a Joe cheerleader as usual, I really enjoy how the producers interact with the crowd…they do seem to know their Joe history, and in my opinion, they have a real vested interest in not just making a G.I. Joe cartoon, but making a good cartoon.  We’ll find out if my assumption is correct this fall.  Thanks to dj7000 from HissTank.com for the info.

G.I. Joe: Renegades SuperPage Launched

There isn’t a whole lot of new information on it, but I’ve launched the G.I. Joe: Renegades SuperPage.  Basically gathered all of the assorted video and images together, as well as details about the production team, etc…
As launch day gets closer, expect more detailed information and as the series gets underway, I will be launching a full-blown episode guide as well, with reviews, video clips (hopefully) and episode synopsis.
