WTF just watched the first 3 eps of GIJOE Renegade![spoilers]

Its basically a ripoff of The A-Team, with Scarlet, Duke, Tunnelrat and Roadblock trying to stop Cobra Industries which is hiding its true terrorist agenda. Its different but geez i dont know something is just off..
 
I wish the character designs were better, producer Jeff Kline-also the show runner for Transformers Primer seems to love this style. And yeah, they've fused GI Joe with the A Team, but to good effect, imo. Flint takes on the Col Lynch role as the team pursuer and Lady J his trusty aid running interference for them.
Basically in this incarnation, Extensive Enterprises gets it's name swapped with Cobra Industries, but with the Baroness in charge. And CC the shadowy chairman. The 3rd episode gave us a cool Major Blood, but a wimpy, nebbish Breaker. I liked Breaker in the Marvel series so this was very not cool!! I'm hoping next week's Snake Eyes 2 parter doesn't spoil it for him.

Perhaps you should try viewing it without your 80s Reaganomics Nostalgia Goggles.

But then I thought they did a great job.

If this is that cartoon then my buddy was in it as General Hidalgo. He wrote some book about the history of GI Joe toys or something and so they used his likeness for the General.
