http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/en_US/play/ ... nment.cfm# (http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/en_US/play/entertainment.cfm#)
They will be releasing an episode on the first Fri of each month.
Additional characters to the characters who appeared in the movie are going to be Helix, Kamakura, Recondo, and Snow Job

Heh. For kids, that's awesome.
But over a minute for the credits!? The thing isn't even 5 minutes in total.
-
It really looks like it's made to sell toys to kids.
-
Watched it. Thanks for the tweet that it was online. Not super impressed yet but I'm game for anything new that's Joe. Speaking of games... that's exactly what it looked like to me. The voice actors were good!!
-
meh.
-
when are they going to start making real episodes again? im not happy with the 5 min avarage of a webisode.
-
Hmm...
.. that's all I've got.
-
Man, two thumbs down for me. What was that crap.
-
It was okay. Kind of heavy on the exposition but nothing truly terrible.
Compared to Hasbro's last attempts at webisodes with Transformers's Action Blast and The Hunt For Energon, this is a huge improvement.
Here's hoping the next chapter is more action-packed.
-
Definitely no Resolute, I will continue to check them out. There is room for improvement.
-
Honestly, Hasbro would be better off using the money and energy budgeted to this medium for another Resolute style cartoon or something along the lines of the original Sunbow cartoon.

It's Friday. Any new episodes?

I don't believe that. Resolute was a big budget piece, but these are free pieces aimed at little kids who visit the site. They've already improved their production values over the Transformers flash cartoons "Action Blast 1" and "Fight for Energon", but asking for something Resolute or Sunbow is just unrealistic.

Ah, thanks!

Second web-sode is out.

Strange there is no continuity with the first and Recondo sounds a lot like Zartan.
-
Thanks for the link!
Once again the credits are just as long as the cartoon. Pretty weak stuff, IMO.
-
Well aside from the long credits, I thought it was pretty good. Whoever does General Hawk does a decent imitation of Dennis Quaid, Storm Shadow and Heavy Duty weren't half-bad either.
Decent action, less expository plot (although Recondo still gives plenty of that), all in all an enjoyable two-minutes-and-something.
-
Episode two is out and I think that the voice actress for Baroness is even worse than Sienna Miller which is no small feat.

maybe Recondo is Zartan!

Here's something interesting.
As it turns out, Hasbro's guys apparently uploaded the wrong episode.
Here's the actual second episode, a direct follow-up to the first:
http://www.hasbro.com/monkeybartv/defau ... t&aid=4258 (http://www.hasbro.com/monkeybartv/default.cfm?page=Entertainment/Videos/VideoSelect&aid=4258)
Snow Job does a similar exposition-through-comm in this one as Recondo did in the second-third-whatever episode.
In his last line, for some reason... Ripcord starts sounding like Eddie Murphy. I found that funny.
-
I saw both Episode 2 videos and liked them. Yes the credits are longer then the video but still worth watching.

When I heard that line, I thought of the donkey from Shrek.
Hey, Shrek, get me an ice pick.
-
Well, they aren't exactly what I'd hoped, but it's better than nothing at all. They are obviously made to sell toys, and for kids. And yeah, holy long credits, Batman! I'll still be checking them out. Thanks for the heads up on the!
-
Meh. On second thought, what's stronger and less enthusiastic than meh?
Looong credits indeed.
And the voice acting was suspect - webisode 1, at the 1:35 mark....Cobra's adding a new threat to it's what?! I had to rewind, but it still doesn't sound like "arsenal" to me...
-
Episodes three and four and five are out with some new characters.

Just watch the last 3 episodes. They are getting better but as usual the credits are longer the video itself.
-
B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!
-
Episode 6 is out, here is the link:
http://www.hasbro.com/hasbrokids/?page= ... t&aid=4314 (http://www.hasbro.com/hasbrokids/?page=Entertainment/Videos/VideoSelect&aid=4314)
as usual it is 2 minutes of video and 3 minutes of credits... but I liked it and I hope you do too...
-
Long credits or not, I like these. They're fun.
They even managed not to make Helix unbearable the way her filecard and special comic have made her.
-
