After reading the first couple of preview pages of Cobra Commander and seeing the roster of characters for the Duke and Cobra Commander?s Mini Series this weekend, this has made me look forward to the future and potential of Skybound?s Energon Universe. I thought it was especially cool to see Mercer on the Cobra side since he was a former Viper. But one thing I?ve been wondering about is how long Skybound will wait to introduce Snake Eyes into the Energon Universe. I?m not trying to be biased; I?m just taking into consideration the character?s popularity, as he is one of the poster boys for G.I. Joe as a franchise, as well as the rich history and lore of his character, and I just find it strange that they haven?t taken advantage of that. But thats just me.
Sorry about the long post but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there. Let me know what you think. |

Also, one idea I had for how they could introduce Snake is that, towards the end of the Duke Mini Series, when looking for members as their starting-up G.I.Joe and looking for potential members, Stalker tells Duke or Hawk that he knows he's a guy and refers to him as an old friend. This then leads to an older MCU-styled after-credits scene where it?s a mysterious man with his boonie hat and shades in his log cabin chopping some wood with his companion Timber by his side, and we get a close-up of the Arashikage symbol on his forearm.

I want to be optimistic for the Energon Universe and for the most part, I am. Seeing Zarana in the Cobra roster (sans Zartan) has me giddy and interested in this title! For the first time since the Marvel series, Zarana could be a character in her own right, not superglued to Zartan. However, the lack of her twin brother Zandar has me concerned, and I'm wondering if that concern will even be considered, let alone addressed.

We will probably see an origin for snake eyes, and even realize its happening until he gets his face blown off. Followed by his own mini series. From what ive seen of Skybound his arrival will be laced with surprise and fanfare.

I hope they don't kill off Zandar. :(

I hope they take their time with Snake Eyes.
I don’t need to see him for a long while. They can keep him as an ace up their sleeve. Let the new universe breathe, set things in motion, tell some stories then bring him in. |

I agree. Snake-Eyes shouldn't be front and center right away. I like him in smaller, mysterious appearances.

Maybe Skybound is saving Snake Eyes for his own limited series. I doubt these series will be limited to just Duke and Cobra Commander. I have to believe that there will be more when those are done.

From what I understand, there will be 4 limited series before they launch an ongoing. The Snakester could definitely end up with one of them.

In whatever way SE is used, I hope they don't waste time establishing how great other characters are only to have SE swoop in and save them because they were suddenly de-powered and incapable of winning a battle without him. This is an elite unit of 100+ experts. Not an elite ninja surrounded by adequate soldiers. Time to let all the Joes kick Cobra's fangs in.
