As far as I know, Hasbro has not confirmed the show will be coming back. I’m sure “a” show will be coming back, but cancelling renegades is a mistake, and I’m terribly afraid that Hasbro will abandon it with the next incarnation of the show. This, in my mind, is the best film adaptation of the property ever. Would I like to see less goo soldiers? Sure. Humans fighting humans would be nice, but the story telling has never been better, and There’s a good chance Big H is going to kill it just when the real Joe vs. Cobra aspect kicks in.

I hope that renegades will show in Russia.

oops resolute , not reslue, trying to type while yelling at my cat is not productive.

Couldn’t agree more. If this truly is the end for Renegades, it really seems like a huge mistake. In my opinion, they captured everything that is cool about G.I. Joe with this series. The build to the end of season one has been excellent. Sadly, that makes the apparent demise of the show even worse. Seems like season two would’ve been awesome. Renegades has/had so much great potential.

@Benjamin… When Hasbro says hiatus… Itz historically a prophecy of cancelation. Justin is simply and fairly speaking from experience.

I totally agree man, this is so sad to see hasbro really communicate in their actions on what they have planned for the renegades property, and in essence how they regards the Joe’s. I’m not putting my faith in the movie after hasbro doing something like this. Especially with how we love resolute and then the movie which was well, speaks for it’s self. I don’t get it, do they even listen to the fans and what the fans want? Or are they too caught up in my little pony and the bots? Renegades is amazing!! I really really really liked it…Hasbro has left me with a bad taste in my mouth this time with the time honored Joe mystic. Very unfortunate for them.

I hate to admit it but Gi Joe is a distant third behind Star Wars and Transformers. Hasbro treats it that way and so do the retailers. The big box stores shrink Joe aisle space and sometimes completely get rid of it. That kind of thing will never happen to SW or TF. In most TRU’s those two properties have an entire aisle between them.

“In a land with Marvel figures and movie lines, Transformers and Star Wars… The sad reality seems to be that GIJoe just isn’t that important enough of a brand to be given a full focus for any amount of time.
Just hope we get those Kwinn, Lifeline and Sci-fi figures.”

Exactly. As much as it sucks to admit, G.I. Joe just isn’t a “major” property. Kids aren’t buying it at all with only a relatively small adult contingent spending money. All one has to do is look around adult toy collector forums to see this. A G.I. Joe collector usually also buys Transformers and/or Star Wars and/or Marvel, but a typical Transformer/Star Wars/Marvel collector rarely buys G.I. Joe.

Personally, I must admit I was a little disappointed in the G.I. Joe fans for not really getting all that excited about this. I’m member of a couple of Joe message boards, and I was suprised how little the show was discussed. Few seemed to care. I mean, it’s not the exact G.I. Joe we know, but it’s a new variation that used established characters in some interesting ways.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we get a new series that can at least be someone considered a sequel to this series. You know, the Joes are cleared of all charges and a new, familiar version of the team is created, or something.

I have enjoyed GI Joe Renegades immensely. I have awaited each episode with baited breath. Yes, it was a little A-Team (maybe a lot A-Team), but it has such great characterization and action. It has been a breath of fresh air after the last big series, Sigma Six (Resolute was good but not as good as Renegades and only a one shot after all). I have enjoyed it a lot more than the other Hub headliner, Transformers Prime. And like others have said, much better than the original 80′s series. Yes, it had iconic moments, particularls the first couple 5-parters. But it was so silly. I always found the 80′s Transformers Cartoon to be more enjoyable than the GI Joe cartoon.

I was always a transformers fan first, GI Joe fan second, until Revenge of the Fallen. I enjoyed Rise of Cobra so much, I’ve switched over to GI Joe. Yes, believe it or not, that converted me. And Renegades has been great. And now it’s ending before we get a bunch of cool toys. It’s all backwards. What happened to making the toys and cartoon at the same time, or the toys first at least? Now the show will be over and there isn’t even a toy on the shelf. Even Transformers Prime has been suffering from that, but at least they get another season. It’s too weird.

I at least hope they make a Roadblock figure so we get the main crew. He’s the only one without a figure shown yet. And more bad guys would be good too. Lady Jaye, Flint…

Darn it, I wanted a Coyote vehicle toy! Look at all the potential!

I took my time thinking of what my reply to this would be. I’m typically supportive of Hasbro – aside from all the stuff I’m ‘supposed’ to like as a Joe fan, I also enjoyed Eco Warriors, Mega-Marines, Sgt. Savage, Valor Vs. Venom and Rise of Cobra. I am what you could consider ‘a mark’ – yes, put a “GI Joe” logo on a piece of shit and chances are I will buy it.

However, I can still recognize greatness when I see it. GI Joe cartoons have never been ‘great’. The Sunbow series, the DiC series, EXTREME and Sigma Six… awful, if only in a ‘I can’t watch this with anyone else’ kind of way. “Renegades” however was above and beyond anything we’ve had before – I would even offer it to a budding fan before the original comic series. To know that it is 99.9999989% cancelled offends me on a level I rarely feel – it’s almost a sense of betrayal in some way… or defeat. Like I let myself believe in something and it was crushed before my eyes – a burning flags, crumbling ramparts, GERMANS STOMPING AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE kind of defeat. : (

When the writers said they had ‘years planned’ for this series, I scoffed. No GI Joe series lasts – especially knowing how Hasbro treated “Transformers Animated” a year or so prior, I knew ‘fan reaction’ didn’t matter so much as whatever new media angle they’ll be working in a year or two. So I KNEW not to give them a chance. BUT I DID. And this is the reward.

I swear – the next series Hasbro tries to launch, I will not watch it. I will not give them a second of my time. I will void it from my life, like I do the IDW comics. It’s not hard. I will not watch the EIGHTEENTH explanation of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow’s relationship. I’m done. I’m tapping out. Thanks for all the fish, I’m through.

I’m very very disappointed to hear the cancellation of Renegades. I was so ecstatic when I found out about this show and now after one awesome season it is going to be cancelled? Is there some way we can round up all the GI Joe fans to get them to not cancel the show. What I like about Renegades is their focus on a few characters, mainly Snake Eyes, Duke and Scarlett. I think these are by far everyone’s favorite of all time. The old GI Joe had too many characters and each character only got a few seconds of airtime. I like how they show Duke and Scarlett’s relationship grow and even how Duke has started trusting and liking Snake Eyes. This is a disappointing story. I’ve had over several hundred GI Joe action figures and this show helps me relive the good days of when I was a kid. We need to find a way to keep this show going.
