Along with information on their upcoming television network, Hubworld.com is also airing much of the content ported over from Hasbro’s MonkeybarTV video site. Included with that run of episodes is the ninth installment of G.I. Joe: Operation HISS. Featuring a follow up to the last episode with Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Kamakura, and Storm Shadow, this continues to universe started by G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
You can find the episode on Hubworld.com and I’ve also mirrored some screen caps below. This certainly won’t take the place of G.I. Joe: Renegades, but it’s the best we got until December, by the looks of things.

Along with the aforementioned Baroness focused episode, Hasbro has also posted the 8th installment of G.I. Joe: Operation: HISS, this time featuring a showdown of Storm Shadow vs…. Kamakura?! Sweet. Love seeing those somewhat obscure Joes getting their due.
And yeah, as much as the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra video game didn’t inspire much love among the fandom, I did enjoy the costumes they used (a neat mixture of the movie themed Reactive Armor, and some more toy-centric colors). Since these are obviously the same models they used for the video game, it’s neat to see Kamakura sporting those togs here, too.
Check out the episode right here, and I’ve mirrored some images below.

And yes, if I go through the trouble of screen-capping even these cheesy mini-webisodes, can you just imagine the kind of treatment Renegades will get once it hits? It’ll be epic, I promise you.

Thanks to tkprime of the MS GI Joe Collectors’ Club for pointing out that GIJoe.com has updated with a new installment of Operation: HISS, so to speak. It’s a short 60 second episode that shows The Baroness infiltrating a G.I. Joe base. Nothing exciting, but hey, it’s new content.
Another interesting thing I noticed while checking this out, was that Hasbro’s online video site, MonkeybarTV has a banner on top proclaiming that the content is all moving to HubWorld.com! So apparently the Hub’s website will also be a repository for Hasbro’s other video content. Interesting news.
Check out some mirrored images below from the webisode.

Hot on the heels of the Pursuit of Cobra revamp of GIJoe.com, Hasbro has also posted the latest installment of their much maligned Operation: HISS animated series. Check it out right here, and I’ve also grabbed some screen caps below.

Obviously the producers here know some of their past G.I. Joe history, with a nice little tribute to the Silent Issue… it still amazes me that these webisodes are so short, though. Tough to tell a decent story in 2 minutes.

Sure, it’s not G.I. Joe: Resolute, but part of me still enjoys the rampant cheesiness and the total “made low budget just for kids” mentality of these Operation: HISS webisodes. Hasbro’s Monkeybar TV has uploaded two more featurettes to continue the Rise of Cobra storyline.
First and foremost, Episode 6 has been posted, and you can check it out right here. You can check out some screen shots mirrored below.

But there’s also a Zartan related profile episode that’s been posted here, with a nice little cameo of everyone’s favorite G.I. Joe Marine near the end.

Looks like Hasbro is making up for some lost time. After a few months in limbo, a couple of days ago, we got a short Scarlett spotlight, which was the first Operation: HISS update we’d gotten in quite a while. Now this morning, it would appear that even though Hasbro hasn’t posted them on their site yet, MonkeybarTV.com has Episodes 4 and 5 posted for the animated series that has gotten quite mixed reviews.
Well, not so mixed. Pretty much just bad. But hey! Look! It’s Agent Helix!
Seriously, this is obviously made for kids…not much money invested in it…and not a whole lot of emotion either. But it’s always cool to see Joe characters come to life on screen, and I can’t help but smile seeing Helix running around alongside Snake Eyes in animated form. Check out the episodes at the links below. These actually have a nice little helping of action…and yes, it’s quite obvious they’re simply using the video game models to make these, but hey, I guess it’s something, right?
