G.I. Joe Animation Series Break-Down
At this years
SDCC fans from all corners of the world were treated to a small
G.I. Joe animation clip called "
Resolute". This was just a teaser clip, not directly related to the eventual
Resolute story line. That short clip was show ant both
JoeCon and
SDCC with the same results, extremely excited fans and with good reason. The new show will feature a
PG-13 story line with top notch animation.
Real bullets,
real military tactics and comes complete with real deal characters taking
dirt naps.
Joaquim Dos Santos, was at both
JoeCon and
SDCC to set the tone for the new series. He wanted everybody to know that he was a Joe fan and so are all of the people who are working on this production. It was explained that when Fighters get shot down, not everybody gets to use their parachutes. The new
USS Flagg was shown with a few shots of the interior including the infirmary that gets used more then once to help wounded Joe team members. No information was given on who actually dies in the series but IMO it was strongly hinted that it may take place in this facility.
With that said the
Character Designs were also shown along with a few updated vehicles. You can view the Images below for some of the revealed cast. But before you do that check out the animation clip that sent
G.I. Joe Fan-Boys into a Frenzy!
