OK so yes the line has grown stagnant so lets reboot it in each post write a lil bit about how you would like to see a reboot to save the line.
TOP SECRET TO: CJCS,JCS, SEC DEF,SECDHS, SEC ARM,SEC NAV,SECAIR, FROM: POTUS RE: TERRORIST ACTIVITY GENTLEMEN, DUE TO RECENT RISE OF TERRORIST ACTIVITY AND A SENSITIVE POLITICAL CLIMATE WE MUST DO SOMETHING, I HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS LEGALLY ALLOWED IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION FROM THESE THREATS THAT ARE COMING NOT ONLY FROM ABROAD BUT ALSO WITHIN OUR BORDERS. FORWARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO ME. FROM: GEN HAMA TO: POTUS RE: SOLUTIONS SIR, THE PROPOSAL IS THAT WE CREATE A GROUP OF OPERATORS TO CONDUCT BOTH DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS THAT WILL HAVE AUTHORITY FROM VARIOUS AGENCIES AS COVER FOR OPERATIONS. AS SUCH INDIVIDUALS WILL BE PULLED FROM ALL CURRENT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS ACTIVE RECRUITING FROM THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. CURRENT SCREENING OF APPLICANTS HAS BEEN STARTED WITH A 14 MEMBER ROSTER AS OF THIS DATE. MEMBERS ARE REPORTING BEING ISSUED ORDERS TO REPORT TO FT WADSWORTH NY. CONTRACTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED FOR RECONDITIONING OF THE INSTILLATION'S FORMER NIKE COMMAND BUNKER. FROM HERE ON NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION WILL BE SENT TO YOUR OFFICE REGUARDING THIS MATTER, IN THE EVENT THAT COMMUNICATION TO YOU IS NECESSARY IT WILL BE SENT IN ENCODED EMAIL WITH NUMEROUS ATTACHMENTS. OPEN FILE MARKED G.I.JOE PASSWORD. AM3RI(@N H3R0. So the 1st commander will be Brigadier Gen Joseph Colton "Joe" His operations officer/Xo will be Col Clayton Abernathy "Hawk" Intelligence liaison CIA Case officer Shana Ohara "Scarlet" 1st Team leader SFC Lorenzo Wilkinson "Stalker" DARPA special projects officer James J. Barney "Grans Slam" This is just a rough idea but basically it takes some of the OG 13 updates some and leaves some out. Personel will come from not just Military but law enforcement background as well. Now what about you how would you like to see our beloved but tired old line rebooted

No matter how they reboot GI Joe...they need to license a highly detailed, very realistic video game. I'm talking Modern Warfare/Call of Duty style but with a rich GI JOE v Cobra story, with all of our favorite characters.

Realistic video game - awesome. Ideally speaking, a live action TV series.
No SE/SS/ninjas. Or at least don't introduce them at first, have fans waiting for them to show up and when they do, use them rarely enough that they aren't taken for granted. I think a good way to deal with the number of Joes is to establish that G.I.Joe is a military unit encompassing hundreds of operatives (at least company sized, perhaps battalion), but focusing on the the adventures of one particular team/platoon. That way you aren't downsizing the Joes all the time, you just have a good reason story-wise to focus on a group of 20 or so. Over time, some of these Joes would come and go, some would get killed and be replaced by others, some would take a year or two out and maybe return. Cameo appearances that were very popular might turn into main characters over time. I don't think the international public - or even the US public - is very keen on a realistic post 9/11 counterinsurgency based story. I prefer a reinvention of Cobra very similar to what IDW have done. |

Good idea. Bring back the O13, but hold off on the Ninjas. In addition, have more troopers and Steel Brigade. Have Cobra be social commentary on middle eastern terrorism. Make Cobra the "Brotherhood of Sett" Or the "Serpent's Cult" or something.

I think SE and SS is fine to introduce. People love ninjas and they been in it since the beginning. I'm not saying bring in all the ninjas, just those TWO. They are 2 very key characters, you can't just leave them out. I'm sorry, but this is where I think most of you are wrong.

I think a live-action series would do far more to capture fan excitement than a cartoon in this day and age (and I love cartoons...). I'm lukewarm on the idea of a video game, but then I'm almost 50 so I'm not in the target audience for that anyhow. But yeah, I'll go ahead and sign on for that because it would mean employment for some friends of mine.
The toy line does not suffer from a lack of vision from Hasbro, the follow-through of the promises they cut to the public however does. We're smart enough to know that Hasbro was probably more hurt than we ever were by Paramount effing up the release schedule of the movie, but aside from that, they keep making ToyFair promises that are either costly or downright impossible to cash in. Why should the Renegades Storm Shadow ever have been an obscure object of desire? The Rene Cobra Commander, a relatively pointless figure who should have been chucked in favor of the Baroness, was all over the place, but he's not an action-oriented character. SS should have been reasonably easy to secure. By doing a live action series you would spur kids and old-schoolers like myself into strong interest. With the real-world updates to both TV production AND military hardware and uniforms, a series would have a dynamic look that would reflect well on the US Military but still be able to operate in the fantasy world of Cobra.... Just so long as the series is not done by a bunch of idiot Canadian actors running around the woods pretending they come even close to what a military unit might look like. Then it would be time to bury Hasbro.... |

There was a live-action tv series. It was called The Unit.

Duke(channing tatum) is killed while on recon patrol with Ripcord (wayanes) when Ripcord fails to execute a proper z turn and the plane crashes into a sheer rock cliff face. Upon finding the wreckage, Duke's DNA was recoverable enough to allow nanomite reconstitution and allowed him to be brought back but with no memories or who he was originally. Using captured Dr. Mindbender technology, the Joes are able to reprogram Duke into a super solider (allowing him to be fully recast as a new actor weeee!) and Duke regains his control of the Joe team and leads them to victory!

I think a GI JOE tv show would be really great! it amazes me that joe is so simple of a story to make its basically elite military w a splash of SCFI!how hard of show is that to make?
would you say as hard a show about an Island were everyone is dead for 10 season! or how about a show about a DR, whos always pissed cause he wants pain pills. or how about a show about lawyers.............. I get that cobra maybe hard to do but if smallville can go strong for 10 seasons then I am sure some one can write a joe tv show. now in terms of booting....tankers you need to understand DUKE is GI JOE. sorry thats the way it goes snakeeyes is well I dont know what you do w a guy who doesnt talk and just looks cool? I think all he does is look cool. The same reason I think bumble bee in TF now is useless. bumble bee is crap just kill him off you dont need him anymore. I say go with a team of 5 or seven joes Duke Snake Scarlet gung ho flint, low light spirit then add more as seasons move on
