The whole reason for a cartoon series would be to tie in/advertise for toys, and as it's been mentioned several times, Hasbro seems unable to successfully manage more than one GI Joe toy line at a time. Seems like they're going all out with RoC/PoC, so they'll probably do the series based on that.
I mean, I guess they COULD do something like the Superhero Squad cartoon series, but somehow I don't think so.
PoC is likely just a "bridge" into whatever the animated show will be. We likely won't see toys for the new show hitting shelves until summer/fall of 2011, which will probably include a full-line rebranding and "push." There's a long lead-time on animated series, and if they're just casting now, it's unlikely we'll see this show on-screens in 2010.
The show will probably have "realistic" proportioned characters that will allow Hasbro to continue using the basic body construction style they've been using, but it's not impossible that it will be a more "animated" style requiring an altogether new style....in which case you can likely kiss the realistic styled stuff goodbye except perhaps as the occasional exclusive...until the movie sequel materializes.
Hasbro will do whatever they think will make the most money. If that includes "killing" the realistic style in favor of a more animated style, they'll do it. See: Sigma 6. I still don't think the market will support two Joe lines, so if (and it's a big "if") the new series doesn't lend itself to a realistic style of figure, realistic figures will once again fall by the wayside.
