It was called Resolute. There were several webisodes and aired as a 2 hour special on Cartoon network.
Wasn't it 1 hour?
It was also a massive Rickroll, starting off very strong, but eventually hitting 88mph and returning to the crap cartoon of old, with people shooting and no one getting hit (no good guys, at least). Duke ended up being the same character he was in the 80s cartoon (unfortunately), Hawk was written out (I guess he was off in Washington getting screwed over by the Jugglers), Scarlett's characterization was awful, and their really was no ending. Some people were also really annoyed by the deaths and the tech girl. Plus, it wasn't 'realistic' like they had told us, with some elements seemingly lifted from Sigma 6. We were told there'd be no parachutes nor lasers. Spoiler: there were parachutes and lasers.
That being said, the animation was fantastic, the character and vehicle redesigns were great, and the Arashikage segments were very well done. The voices and voice acting wasn't too bad, either. The new Cobra Commander is a very badass leader who won't take anyone's crap.
On the whole, I found Resolute to be rather underwhelming. It promised much, and starts out very strong, but ultimately leaves you wanting more, and not in the good way. There is much potential to the Resolute universe, and I eagerly await another chance to visit it, but next time, I hope they give more realism, better accuracy to the characters, and a better story. An ending would be nice, too.
