The newest installment in Hasbro's on-going ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' franchise, ''G.I. Joe: Renegades'' is an [[Animated Series]] airing on [[The Hub]]. The show lasted for 26 episodes, running from November 2010 to July, 2011.
''Renegades'' changes things up by having the team being wanted fugitives for destroying a Cobra Industries pharmaceutical plant. The truth of the matter is that counter-intel agent Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara recruited a small team of soldiers, Conrad "Duke" Hauser, Nicky "Tunnel Rat" Lee, Marvin "Roadblock" Hinton and Wallace "Ripcord" Weems ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Snake Eyes]] as backup) to infiltrate the plant. They found bio-weapon research going on, but were discovered by Cobra agents. The ensuing conflict resulted in the destruction of the plant and the evidence O'Hara was looking for.
They are now on the run from both the government and Cobra operatives, all the while trying to expose Cobra Industries for the terrorist organization it truly is, with a stolen heavily armored Cobra Industries truck as their only home. They're pursued by Duke's old rival, Dashiell Fairborne, aka "Flint", and Duke's old friend, Lady Jaye, who want to bring them in to face the consequences for their actions. Along the way they gather additional allies to combat Cobra and [[We Help the Helpless|help people in need of their skills]].
Line 84:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Early in the first part of ''Homecoming,'' Duke's brother says {{spoiler|he'll turn Duke in himself if that's what it takes to keep him away from their parents.}} He wasn't kidding.
** In ''Cutting Edge'', Baroness coldly berating Cobra Commander for insulting her competence {{spoiler|as well as his lack of the breathing device he's needed for several episodes are hints that he's really Zartan.}}
** In ''Knockoffs'', Roadblock mentions the only person he knows with feet rivaling his in size is his cousin Herschel. Herschel later shows up as part of Flint's team.
* [[Forklift Fu]]: Duke plows into Major Bludd with a forklift. {{spoiler|[[Made of Iron|It doesn't work]].}}
* [[Freudian Slip]]: Jinx notes that Snake Eyes' relationship with Scarlett isn't like that with his other students. Scarlett is surprised, and denies it, saying she's "just high-maintenance". Perhaps not the best phrase to use to ''deny'' that sort of relationship with someone.
Line 105:
** In case you didn't get it, the M.A.S.S. Device returns in the two-part [[Grand Finale]].
* [[Infinite Supplies]]
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]]: Courtesy of M.A.R.S. industries.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Snake Eyes. As of episode six, {{spoiler|Storm Shadow, Scarlett, Jinx; and even the other Joes get some training}}.
* [[Interservice Rivalry]]: When the Joes are pressed into work on Shipwreck's boat and Duke ends up hanging off the side scraping barnacles from the hull, he says, [[Mythology Gag|"This is why I didn't enlist in the Navy."]]<ref> Unlike the original Shipwreck, who did just that.</ref>
Line 161:
* [[Pillow Pregnancy]]: When the [[Bavarian Fire Drill]] doesn't work to get Duke out of jail, Scarlett manages to infiltrate the place by posing as a trailer trash babymama whose lover is doing time. When she finally gets to Duke, he takes a look at her and goes, "[[Deadpan Snarker|How long was I inside?]]"
* [[Predatory Business]]: COBRA, as noted above.
* [[Powered Armor]]: Again, courtesy of M.A.R.S. Industries. May cause fits of [[Unstoppable Rage]].
* [[Race Lift]]: Lady Jaye, and following [[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra]], Ripcord.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Despite being exemplary soldiers Roadblock and Tunnel Rat have a spotty record, Tunnel Rat for trespassing in New York sewers and Roadblock for unspecified juvenile delinquency. Besides that, Scarlett's obsession with COBRA before the incident didn't make her many friends in the Counter Intel circle and Duke has a bit of a stubborn streak.
Line 180:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Happens with a lot Snake Eyes and Scarlett and Duke and Scarlett.
* [[Shout-Out]]: As of the third episode, the theme narration is a direct reference to that of ''[[The A-Team]]''.
** [[Saw|"Shall we]] [[
** In ''Homecoming,'' Roadblock makes a hilariously bad attempt to fake out the Baroness when she calls the technicians the Joes have just knocked out. Tunnel Rat promptly shoots the console. [[Star Wars|Han Solo]] would be proud.
** [[
* [[Someone Elses Problem]]: Implied with Scarlett, who would rather the team just focus on clearing their names.
* [[Somewhere a Herpetologist Is Crying]]: Rattlesnakes will ''not'' slither into freezing cold puddles for the sole purpose of biting someone.
Line 189:
* [[The Ace]]: Snake Eyes full tilt.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: James McCullen tries to show off his skills in this department in "Enemy of my Enemy", playing the Joes and Cobra against each-other, {{spoiler|but has ''severely'' underestimated who he's dealing with.}}
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Snake Eyes gets captured by a biker gang, lead by Zartan, who likes to take a trinket from each person he harasses. He takes Snake Eyes visor and the only thing the audience knows is his eyes are uncovered, but otherwise hidden from view. Zartan and his gang are noticeably freaked out by ''something'', enough that Zartan returns his visor. This is repeated again in another episode when {{spoiler|a cult "hypnotizes" Snake Eyes.}}
* [[Ultimate Universe]]
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: James McCullen uses some [[Applied Phlebotinum]] to try and deliberately invoke this trope. [[Gone Horribly Right|It works a bit too well]].
Line 206:
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]
* [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With]]: Invoked by Adam DeCobray to James McCullen, {{spoiler|moments before [[Oh Crap|revealing his true identity as Cobra Commander]] to him}}.
* [[You Have to Believe Me]]: Played straight, then averted ''slightly''. {{spoiler|Flint doesn't even come close to believing Duke's claims about Cobra Pharmaceuticals ''at first'', but after being on the receiving end of Baroness and having his life saved by Duke, he comes around ''slightly''.}}
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Jinx sports this.
