The Hub's GI Joe, Transformers, and My Little Pony relaunches...

[Sean Walsh]

Original Duke and Scarlett as Mom and Dad!

Wait.........are you saying what I think you're......

*consults IMDB*

.....YOU ARE!!!!! Oh holy crap, this actually makes me happy!!!

We're never going to get an old-school style show with the near-constant rotation of characters. That isn't the way cartoons -or- the toy industry works these days.

It stops kids and older fans alike complaining when their favourite character gets snipped.

Steeler! Doc! Scrap Iron! Destro!

[Charles RB]

Destro's company is so going to get bought out...

Some folks on the G.I. Joe-themed fandom boards have noticed that the Renegades episodes seem to be getting shown out of order. The glitches are not so drastic as to mess the show up, but little things like the status of the Joe's vehicles (Where did they get that motorcycle from the "Homecoming" two-parter (probably from one of the Dreadnoks in next week's episode)?...or the Jeep Snake-Eyes was driving at the beginning of the last episode?), how the Joes are interacting with each other (particularly towards Snake-Eyes), and Baroness name-dropping "Destro" after correcting herself from "Mr. McCullen" despite no mention of "Destro" in this episode seem to point towards the episodes having been scrambled (in terms of order) before broadcast...likely so they could show the winter-themed "Homecoming" two-parter closer to Christmas.

He stole the jeep from the cops at the checkpoint. It has police lights on it.

I don't think so...it was pretty clearly a military jeep, and none of the other police cars looked like that. Plus, he came from behind the Joes. I mean, I know Snake-Eyes is a Ninja, but I don't think he can "Ninja" a jeep from the middle of a police checkpoint, drive it all the way around to get behind the "Coyote" and then veer out to do his "escape" without being noticed.

Just saw the premier eps (up here in Canada) of both TF and GI Joe. Liked them both. I don't particularly like the character designs on Joe, but the story was decent enough, even though it's GI Joe meets The A-Team.

[Ragnorok64]

Speaking of that, someone mentioned that a Spanish guitar riff plays whenever Lady Jaye appears. Anyone notice it?

I just went back and skipped through the first 3 episodes and it's definitely there.

Hilarious! I'm surprised they don't have themed music for all the ethnic characters.

That's something else that's been bugging me. Why is Lady Jaye hispanic now? One thing GI Joe has never lacked for is ethnic diversity. What prompted this change?

In the great scheme of things, no, it's not a big deal. But it bugs me, because it seems utterly pointless.

They seem to have tried to invert that with Roadblock's taste in music.

I figure they probably don't plan on having too many other regularly occuring hispanic characters.

Here's something. Where are they getting money from? They have to eat and fuel that truck of thiers, and I doubt thier accounts are accesible. ALso they tend to blow up anything Cobra they happen to run into so I doubt they can loot that much from them.

Shipwreck is latino. Just have him show up.

[AdamYJ]

Shipwreck is latino. Just have him show up.

I love Shipwreck, but unless they get them on a ship some time, he's going to seem awfully out-of-place. Granted, G.I. Joe does better with that sort of thing than Super-Friends did (Aquaman and Shipwreck being more-or-less "water" characters). Still, unless the Joes decide they have to leave country, I don't know where they'll run into him.

What probably happened with Lady Jaye is that they ended up hiring a latina actress based on her talent rather than her ethnicity, but then decided to play it up anyway.

I don't remember Shipwreck always being on a ship (just like Dusty wasn't always in the desert and Alpine wasn't always scaling stuff). Heck Wet-Suit was in his toy's uniform like...twice? He was always on land doing stuff with Leatherneck.
