Really enjoyed the origin of "Zartan", and felt it was the best explanation we've gotten as to why he has the shape-changing abilities (his chameleon abilities were never explained in the '80's comic). It's too bad that the show didn't last longer, because I would have really liked to have seen figures of Destro, Major Bludd, Baroness, etc. These were new outfits, but at the same time still reminded me enough of the originals - Good job here. Going along with the above, I really liked the new character designs for Duke, Snake-Eyes, Flint, Scarlett, Destro, Cobra Commander, Baroness, Jinx, Zartan, Major Bludd, etc.
#Roadblock gi joe renegades series
However, in Renegades, I really liked all of the nods/homages to ARAH and, in some ways I felt this series both built on ARAH while at the same time even being superior to it in certain aspects. Joe if I felt they didn't pay attention to the ARAH mythos (a good example of this was the IMHO execrable 2009 ROC film, which really messed up the whole ARAH mythology/uniforms, etc. I was & am a huge fan of the '80's ARAH comics, and have either disliked or despised most other subsequent incarnations of G.I. And, I really liked the episode where Jinx was in that body-armor & on that hi-tech motorcycle this also reminded me of one of the POC toys that came out a while back. tank (from the POC toyline) is one of my favorite new vehicle designs, so I really liked seeing that vehicle featured. Really enjoyed the tech/vehicles in this show! The black Cobra helicopter, the slick Cobra hovercraft used during the swamp battle in Mississippi, all of the laser guns, rifles, etc. First of all, the music was amazing, especially the opening theme - great new hard-edged sound, and in some ways makes me feel that I'm watching an '80's cartoon with a 21st century vibe/tone, which I guess is the point. I saw this on the DVD sets in the early 20XX's, and need to revisit it soon:
Great animation, music, characterization, etc. It was a re-boot of the ARAH storyline, and they really kept a lot of what made the original characters/story great, while updating it for the 21st century.
