Major Bludd made his auspicious debut tonight in the G.I. Joe: Renegades universe, and pretty much knocked it out of the park. I had my share of (minor) complaints, but by and large, Episode 3 continued the trend of fun, action-packed episodes from the Renegades.
Most interesting to point out is that Major Bludd was not the only familiar character from the past to make his appearance for the first time. Over on the G.I. Joe: Renegades Super Page I have added Episode 3 to the Episode Guide, which includes video clips, an episode synopsis as well as a full blown episode review.
Get it all right here! Don’t forget you can also check out all of the video on my YouTube Channel!

Big thanks as always to kennywr22 for digging up all of this great info. He found a nice article on how the ratings measured up for The Hub last weekend with the debuts of Transformers: Prime and G.I. Joe: Renegades. I think the term “pretty damn good” applies here.
According to this article, not only did the debut of these two new programs drive ratings up triple digits for the fledgling network, but they also drove the Hub to lead all of kids cable networks in co-viewing. Click the “Read the rest of this entry” link below for the full run down: (more…)

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.
