Style Update On New 26 Episode G.I. Joe Cartoon Series
HISS Tank boards member Eric Bauza has come through with information on the style to be used on the upcoming, 26 episode G.I. Joe cartoon series!
I wish I could tell you more about the new series, from what I’ve read in the auditions – but those aren’t my beans to spill… but during my audition I DID happen to see a Tunnel Rat model sheet… he’s a lot younger, and the style looks kinda like a hybrid of Resolute and Transformers animated. Pretty cool lookin if you ask me!!!EB
*FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FIGURED IT OUT YET THE IMAGE TO THE LEFT IS SIGMA 6 TUNNEL RAT JUST AN IMAGE PICKED BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY YOUNGER VERSION OF TUNNEL RAT WE’VE SEEN BEFORE. IT IS NOT INDICATIVE OF HOW THE NEW TUNNEL RAT WILL LOOK LIKE*
The last time we saw a younger version of Tunnel Rat was in Sigma 6, as the lazy sidekick to Heavy Duty. Yet Tunnel Rat in G.I. Joe Resolute, was anything but that! So how will this new version of Tunnel Rat turn out in the new series? Who else will be appearing alongside him? [Read more…]
