Huge thanks to the MSGulfCoast GIJoe Collectors Club for snagging a nice copy of a recent G.I. Joe: Renegades promo that aired on a recent episode of Hubworld. A lot of new footage is sprinkled throughout, with a heaping helping of cool music and action.
The roller coaster ride continues full steam ahead and Renegades finally arrives November 26th at 5:00pm! Are you ready?
Check out the embedded video below!
A short while ago, it was revealed that Major Bludd was likely to be a part of the third episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades, with the episode entitled “The Package”. Now we know who sends him after his target!
TVGuide.com has updated their line up for Friday, December 3rd, and included the following description:
“The Joes stop the Baroness’ mercenary from completing his planned assassination.”
Uh, spoiler warning next time? From the looks of the listings on TV Guide, it would appear that the new episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades airs at 5:30pm, following a repeat of Episode Two. Also on TVGuide.com, there is a slightly more detailed episode breakdown, also featuring some information on Episode Four, Return of the Arashikage, Part 1. The following description is listed for that episode:
“The Joes train with Snake Eyes at his dojo and learn about his connection to Storm Shadow and their shady shared past.”
By the sounds of this, we should see Storm Shadow early on in the series, and start learning about his connection to Snake Eyes pretty quickly. Looking forward to checking these out!
While we have no confirmation as of yet for the rumored November 26th air date, G.I. Joe: Renegades artist Clement Sauve has updated his DeviantArt page with a very cool piece of Snake Eyes art, seeming to indicate that Renegades is indeed “coming soon”.
A big thanks as always to fellow Renegades enthusiast kennywr22 from HissTank.com for digging this up!
I know the quality of the art is subjective, but I’m still digging it, and I like that they’ve used an artist with some connection to the G.I. Joe mythology. Clem’s work on the Dreadnoks DeClassified TPB cover and the covers to the America’s Elite “Sins of the Mother” arc with The Baroness are all pretty cool as well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for November 26th…looking forward to it.
So news has been pretty light, and site updates have been sparse. But I’ve taken the time to write something up that’s been rattling around in my head for a while now, and try to generate some discussion. There’s been lots of debate and argument across the net recently regarding newer Joe concepts…how about going back in time a little ways and trying to debate some classic era discussions?
Since 1982 there have been many permutations of the G.I. Joe universe. Obviously the two most impactful ones were the Marvel comic book and the Sunbow animated series. But in looking back on nearly thirty years of history, which were the most impactful storyline “events”? That’s not so easy to discern.
First of all, what does “impactful” mean? An impact on the fandom? The G.I. Joe mythology? The general public? I dunno. I kind of went with my gut on some of these and chose the events that resonated with me personally. I will tell you that #10 on the list was a tough call. I had a hard time judging that one above some others, but in the end, I felt like the writer of this particular series deserved a spot on the list, and the events (plus the artwork) was important and cool enough to earn its place.
Anyway, check out the list after the break. Agree or disagree in the comments section. Debate is welcome!

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.
