More new Renegades footage (though just barely) in new Hub promo

Another holiday, another one of The Hub’s “3 Day Weekend” promo’s!  This time around, since the G.I. Joe: Renegades 2-Parter “Homecoming” is airing, we’ve got a few scant seconds of new footage.
The focus of the footage appears to be Roadblock…though in a decidedly unintimidating role.  Check out the embedded video below.

Roadblock’s got quite the singing voice!
The G.I. Joe: Renegades 2-Parter “Homecoming” airs this Friday (Christmas Eve) from 5:00pm – 6:00pm.  While Duke travels to his family home to try and prevent a Cobra attack, the Joes infiltrate a Cobra Industries Christmas party…

Scrap Iron explodes into G.I. Joe: Renegades!

The hits just keep on coming for this new G.I. Joe animated series…  over the past two weeks we’ve met Breaker and Jinx, and now apparently, in Episode (which airs in January) we are set to meet Scrap Iron!  Who he works for and his motivations are currently unknown, but thanks to TVGuide.com, we know what his next moves are:

“Scrap-Iron kidnaps Tunnel Rat and uses him to test a weaponized exo-suit. Roadblock attempts a rescue by allowing himself to be kidnapped as well.”

Hmmm…a weaponized exo-suit?  Could it be this:

I guess we’ll find out January 7th!  Thanks to kennywr22 and The Terror Drome for the info.

Very short snippet of footage from Episode 3 of G.I. Joe: Renegades

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.

New G.I. Joe: Renegades logo and image emerges on the Hub's website

The countdown continues…  as the Hub’s Twitter Page has stated, only 59 days to go until the big debut of The Hub, and already the online home of the new Hasbro and Discovery co-owned channel is putting up some images and details of the upcoming animated series.
Of course, you can find the entry for G.I. Joe: Renegades right here.  Details are below:

“Branded as renegades for crimes they did not commit, a heroic group of young G.I.s is forced to “turn fugitive” as they battle to clear their names, and expose the evil that is Cobra Industries — a seemingly benevolent mega-corporation covertly controlled by a rogues gallery intent on creating a New World Order.”

A big thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com for digging up the intel.
Yeah, I’m a little fired up over here.  Can’t wait for G.I. Joe to hit the animated circuit again, and by all accounts, everyone involved has an accomplished resume in the field.  I think the folks who are excited are going to be even more excited, and even some of the folks not so excited are gonna start getting turned around.  Good stuff coming.

Tunnel Rat to make appearence in upcoming G.I. Joe Animated Series

While obviously still in the very early stages (since voice actors are still just auditioning for the roles), the G.I. Joe animated series is plugging along.  Hisstank.com board member Eric Bauza (who is also a veteran voice actor) recently read for the part of Tunnel Rat.  If he gets the part, it would be no big stretch, as he also starred as Tunnel Rat in G.I. Joe: Resolute (not to mention did fantastic work as Destro and Storm Shadow as well).
Check out Mr. Bauza’s WikiPedia page here.  Always love hearing news about this!  Unlike a lot of folks, I don’t think we’ll hear much about this at Toy Fair, since it’s still very early on, but perhaps some info will be available at JoeCon…whereever we find out some details, I’m really looking forward to it.  Hopefully it’s closer to G.I. Joe: Resolute than Sigma 6.  Don’t get me wrong…there is NO chance this is an ongoing Resolute series, not when it’s being conceived and produced for the channel that was formerly Discovery Kids.  But as long as it doesn’t insult the intelligence of the viewers and tries to be a bit more sophisticated than Sigma 6, I’ll give it a watch.  Heck, I forced myself through all 26 episodes of Sigma 6, just because it was G.I. Joe based…
