In May 2010 we learned of plans for Hasbro Factory; think of Toy Story but with Hasbro toys. More than a year later, this past August, we learned that Hasbro applied for a new trademark; Unit:E, which entailed the following:

Toys, games and playthings, namely, toy action figures and accessories for use therewith toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith; toy playsets for use in connection with toy action figures and toy vehicles; toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms; toy robots; plush toys; stuffed toys; plastic and vinyl toy characters and toy animals; toy figures; radio-controlled toy vehicles; mechanical toys; toy construction sets, building toys, wind-up toys; water squirting toys; toy modeling compounds, toy molds and toy extruders for use with toy modeling compounds; toy balls, namely toy footballs and baseballs; toy baseball bats; toy swords and toy shields and accessories for use therewith; toy projectile shooters and toy projectiles for use therewith; jigsaw puzzles; board games; parlor games; action skill games; card game; role-playing games; trading card games; electronic hand-held games not for use with external displays or monitors; target games; dice games

Now, thanks to sister site TFW2005, we have our 1st glimpse at Unit:E via a free comic handed out at New York Comic Con 2011. We learned today that GI Joe will be joining the likes of other brands such as MASK, Micronauts, CENTURIONS(!), and more, in Unit:E. The comic is written by Andy Schmidt, joined by the likes of Robert Atkins and many other artists, in what is described as a "love letter to the varied brands that Hasbro has had the pleasure of ushering into the world".

The spread shows Roadblock, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, and Duke with F-15 Eagles flying overhead. See for yourself after the jump!
