Resolute for the win. As for the deaths, well, I have to say that at least one of my favourite characters can get his job back now.

Wait. It started already on tv or just the net?

Watched the first three episodes of Resolute. Very, very cool. The voice acting was great. They even got Steven Blum to play Duke, that's just so awesome.

I was a little surprised to start the first episode and see them begin with (spoiler)Major Bludd dead, but still pretty good.

They have all the info over at http://www.hasbro.com/resolute/en_US/ plus some really cool extras as well. this according to the hasbro resolute website: This finale will be broadcast on Adult Swim April 25 at midnight. This televised event will not only feature all episodes seen online, but will be the first time fans can watch the final 10 minutes of the G.I. Joe: Resolute saga. I'm still having a hard time figure this all out oh well I will just keep an eye on my direct tv guide I'm sure they will list it on there or if I'm at my parents the cable guide since I'm cat sitting beginning the 25th.

Well I did watch the first webisode of resolute just to see if I would be interested in watching the rest of them or not. I can't believe who they killed and how they killed them. I can't wait to see the entire thing on t.v. watching it on a computer just doesn't do it justice.

Agreed! I couldn't believe who wound up dead and so early in the story. I remember it taking a hundred million comic issues before they killed anyone of significance.

Me and a few friends have nicknamed the show "G.I. Joe: Hasbro's Apology" because of how much we hate the TFA series. lol I can't wait to see the rest later next week!

I'm currently "Troop Building" my Joes... Again!

Well, except for General Flagg.

PROTIP: Animated IS Hasbro's apology. That's why it's aimed at fans who will pick up on all of the references and stuff.

I sure hope they introduce Hawk in Resolute. Duke is NOT the Joe leader, Hawk is.

I watched the first three episodes of Resolute and think it's ok. I'm not a big fan of violence and death in toons since I find that style of writing unimaginative. I also don't think major bludd is dead. I'm interested to see where the story goes.

Well if you haven't checked out http://www.hisstank.com as of late there are some really cool things up there right now. I'm waiting for hasbro to do a five pack of cobra b.a.t. so I can troop build some more b.a.t. figures without having hunt them down and pay for them single card version. I also found a picture of the toy version of the female version of dial tone:

News Credits: 7 · by **Roadbuster** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:54 pm

Well I've seen parts 3, 4, and 5. We learn about Bludd's fate some more. Apparently he made the big mistake of trying to double-cross CC and was made an example for it. We see more of the JOEs, Flint, Beachhead, Covergirl, Gung Ho, Spirit, Alpine, Barbecue, Wild Bill, Tunnel Rat, Rock'n Roll, Shipwreck.

Destro = awesome

Baroness = WTF they do to her?!

As for the female Dialtone... she stays.

And we go some backstory to Snakeyes and Stormshadow and Hardmaster's death. Seems this time Stormshadow was party to the assasination and it's no secret that the shrouded man is Zartan. I got a feeling he'll show up in Russia.

My guess is p[art 6 will be Duke and Scarlet's mission/

So FIrefly is out of that equation. Bah! I'll check these out, probably at midnight on Friday.

This is kind of one of those no brainers, but cobra forces are only loyal as long as they get paid so I wasn't surprised when we saw major blood in dead in washington d.c. ten to one the united states government offered him some sort of deal to give evidence against cobra. That got him killed which kind of figured as well.

Very nice. I can see the two Chuckles and Creepers being variants. Yay, nice to make things expensive. That Destro looks familiar. Like someone took the head of Destro and put him on the CC body. Hmm, where have we seen that before...

Speaking of Destro and going back to the 12" Discussion I saw the Hasbro figure the other day. He appears to be done in his pilot out fit from the two pack. What's nice is that they sized up his Sigma 6 uzi/briefcase; always liked that accesory. I couldn't bring myself to buy him though do to the aformentioned burn with SE and Flint.

Maybe they are not in the picture or maybe they have severely changed, but two of my favorites are not very recognizable to me... Ripcord and Hit and Run.

I'm also trying to figure out which one the Lamprey helmet goes with.

This is the old image...looks like some have changed... Lamprey is now black and red, and the helmet comes off to reveal a normal head.

No HNR in the ones shown apparently, looks like Ripcord has changed color,

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:56 pm

Lamprey, new colors.

Ripcord no longer green?

NF Tunnel Rat?

NF Beachhead?

So are the joes going to be NF colors? Or is there a NF variant going around, because even Chuckles has a darker variant...

Ripcord will be green, this toy is not from the seven packs. He will be included with the Silver Mirage in the movie line.

And the Lamprey will be with this:

What is that vehicle with the lampry? It looks like a flying stingray. Didn't the original Lampry come with a hydrofoil? Ok stupid question time, on jet pack Duke from the resolute 5-pack the parachute fanny pack thing does it face the front or back?

Night Force is a subline from the same year as Tiger Force, I think. It was TRU exclusive series (if I'm not mistaken - someone be sure to correct me if I'm wrong!) which featured figures and vehicles in dark Night-Op colours, and there were glow in the dark stickers on the vehicles. I imagine many a kid lost missiles in the dark!
