At JoeCon in Kansas City, the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA panel just ended, and I have the full archive of the “Cover it Live” coverage from The Terror Drome hosted after the jump. Some pretty cool insight within!
Next in line is the G.I. Joe 2010 Marketing Panel… will cover that as well!
| TheTerrorDrome.com: Welcome back Joe fans. The panel should be kicking off shortly, stay tuned for updates. |

Do we know of anyone in particular who will be attending/hosting the panel? |
|
1:05

|
|
1:10
|
|

|
|
1:12
|
|
terrordrome: Almost all Q&A after introductions. |
|
|
1:13
|
|
terrordrome: Question: “Can you share how Paramount views the brand?” |
|
|
1:13
|
|
terrordrome: “There were a lot of challenges. But Paramounts already talking about a sequel” |
|
|
1:14
|
|
terrordrome: “often we get whose going to play gijoe? So we say just wait for the trailer.” |
|
|
1:16
|
|

|
|
1:16
|

|
|
1:17

How soon would a 2nd movie come out? Romur was next year… |
|
1:18
|
|
terrordrome: To Hama: “Did you ever imagine 20 years later you’d still be part of gijoe?” |
|
|
1:19
|
|
terrordrome: “No. Toy lines last 2-3 years. Comics too.” |
|
|
1:19
|
|
terrordrome: Hama is afraid of Cabbage Patch dolls. Must get rid of them all! |
|
|
1:19
|
|
terrordrome: Hero worship ftw! |
|
|
1:20
|
|
TheTerrorDrome.com: @ spacemonkeymafia Paramount is “in talks” but their official answer was “we hope a sequel is made” |

|

|
|
1:26
|
|
terrordrome: The questions so far have been too deep to update it all. |
|
|
1:26
|
|
terrordrome: DEEP! Like an ocean of knowledge that I can’t keep up with. |
|
|
1:27
|
|
terrordrome: “Why the vow of silence and not the personal tragedy?” |
|
|
1:29
|
|
terrordrome: That line of dialogue was out at one point. People were confused about why he didn’t speak. ESP if he has a mouth on his mask! |
|
|
1:29
|
|
terrordrome: For those who don’t know: Its a movie. Deal. |
|

|
|
1:33
|
|
TheTerrorDrome.com: @ stalker711- The sequel isnt far enough along for them to have “for sure” answers to that question. |
|
|
1:34
|
[Comment From Snake Eyes]
Was there an answer to the “why no personal tragedy?” question? |
|
1:34

terrordrome: Lannys son asked why SE went from Commando to Ninja. And why? |
|
|
1:35
|
|
terrordrome: Ten black and white drawings of characters. One was SE and it was labeled “Commando” and that’s all I had. |

TheTerrorDrome.com: @ spacemonkeymafia- 1:33 is for you as well 😛 |
|
|
1:36

terrordrome: I decided to make him really Badass but leave it all unknown. It’s very ninjaesque. |
|
|
1:36
|
|
terrordrome: But then Cobra got a ninja. A ninja in all white! |
|
|
1:36
|
|
