Here\u2019s my rundown of what was revealed and the details on some of the awesome figures we\u2019ll be seeing into next year.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who haven\u2019t seen the movie yet, I won\u2019t go into any spoilers, but we all know that there is going to be sequels and that Joe didn\u2019t defeat Cobra for good.  With that said, the 2010 line will be based off of where the movie ended, with the overall theme being \u201cThe Pursuit of Cobra\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra has set up four bases around the world to develop a new weapon that will help them become a true military force.  GI Joe has sent out specialized strike teams to take down Cobra\u2019s secret bases and stop the development of the secret weapon.  What is this secret weapon, you ask?<br \/>\n<center><!--more--><br \/>\nThe new Cobra HISS Tank!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/hiss.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>They only showed us a prototype, but it featured moving treads, canopy cockpit, a rotating gunner station with one missile firing gun and the other a machine gun.  Also, the entire body of the HISS Tank can be elevated above the treads and turned 360 degrees, allowing it to attack in any direction.  It was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The Pursuit of Cobra line will consist of four environments.  The packaging will be color coded by mission.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<strong>City Strike Mission: <\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/city.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nFor close combat in urban environments, even though the Joes still carry guns, they are also trained in martial arts by Snake Eyes and can use swords as their primary weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Duke \u2013 Comes with firearms and katana.  Also included is a suction cup he can hold onto.  The Panel joked about how it\u2019s for infiltrating car windows.<\/p>\n<p>Snake Eyes \u2013 Will have the Resolute body.<\/p>\n<p>Scarlett \u2013 Resolute body.  Comes with jet pack, flight mask, two forearm-mounted swords, and a large Katana that attaches to her hip.<\/p>\n<p>Firefly \u2013 New Sculpt with two heads.  His helmet is designed to see through walls and around him 360 degrees.  Suit is armored so he can survive his own explosives<br \/>\ngoing off.  Comes with land mines and explosives that fit into his forearm armor, also comes with suction cup zip line.<\/p>\n<p>GI Joe Cycle Armor \u2013 With Ashiko.  Ashiko is a stunt bike specialist.  His bike transforms into a small armored mech suit he can wear.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<strong>Jungle Assault Mission:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/jungle.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nRipcord \u2013 ROC Ripcord in jungle gear. <\/p>\n<p>Storm Shadow \u2013 Resolute body, no shirt.  Comes with glider to jump from tree to tree, guns, katanas, and two double swords that go over his arms.<\/p>\n<p>Duke \u2013 New head sculpt, will have painted on body camo.  His clothes are painted to look torn and muddy.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra Commander \u2013 Comes with a Nano-Mite prototype.<\/p>\n<p>Jungle Viper \u2013 based on the Night Viper.  He is a sniper and has the biggest rifle they have ever done.  His \u201cwings\u201d are actually camo panels designed to move around the body and project an image on them that mirrors what is behind the viper, making him invisible. They can also reflect heat to avoid infra-red detection. The \u201cwings\u201d will be poseable.<\/p>\n<p>Recondo \u2013 New sculpt, hat is removable with a bald head underneath.  He has sniper rifle, attachable bear-traps, backpack with solar cells, and a tribal mask artifact that is removable.<\/p>\n<p>GI Joe Armored Panther \u2013 With Outback.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<strong>Arctic Threat Mission:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/arctic.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nStorm Shadow \u2013 Uses Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes\u2019 coat, has the gray striped effect for camo.<\/p>\n<p>Duke \u2013 New sculpt.  He\u2019s designed to parachute in on snow board.<\/p>\n<p>Snow Job \u2013 New skis, camp fire with pan, tank to hold fire fuel, sniper rifle, and tarp.  Tarp can be spread between both ski poles to create a blind for him to hide in and snipe from.  All items will fit on backpack.<\/p>\n<p>Destro \u2013 Has a gun with the shooting water action feature.  Also comes with \u201cice attachments\u201d that fit over any figure\u2019s arms or legs to look like they were frozen.  Mask will also have a frosted effect, like ice is beginning to build up on it.<\/p>\n<p>Elite Ice Viper \u2013 Same as Ice Viper only with red details to his uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Snake Eyes \u2013 With new vest sculpt.  Also, new Timber sculpt with biting action.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra Ice Cutter \u2013 A remade Snow Serpent.  Front treads pull vehicle forward and move much like the He-Man Attak Trak vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra Fury \u2013 With Alley Viper Officer.  Has the original missiles but with redesigned wheels.<\/p>\n<p>GI Joe Snow Cat \u2013 With new figure Whiteout.  Treads won\u2019t move.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<strong>Desert Battle Mission:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/desert.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nDesert-Viper <\/p>\n<p>Zartan \u2013 The Panel said this was the Zartan we were all waiting for, and they were right.  He has more of his original look with the hood and face paint.  Will come with two sets of gear.  One is a Mongolian Nomad with a staff that his falcon can sit on.  His falcon also has a tiny removable hood on his head.  Second look is a GI Joe soldier named \u201cSandstorm\u201d that wasn\u2019t so lucky.  Apparently Zartan killed Sandstorm and is now impersonating him.  Will come with Sandstorm head and Joe uniform and gear.<\/p>\n<p>Ripcord \u2013 Is wearing a generation 2 Exo Suit for air ops.  Suit comes with a flight pack.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy Duty \u2013 New armor vest, comes with rifles and a large anti-tank launcher.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra HISS Attack Scout \u2013 With Sand Viper.  It\u2019s a HISS Tank stripped of armor so it can move incredibly fast.  Driver sits in middle.<\/p>\n<p>Cobra Sand Serpent \u2013 With Star Viper, new head sculpt.  Vehicle will have new sounds.<\/p>\n<p>There will be an exclusive mail away figure of Cobra Commander.<\/p>\n<p>He will be the first figure ever to have a Cobra designed card back.  He will be in the Desert Strike design with a new head sculpt and face mask.  His mask uses sunlight to power his body armor, hence the red look.  Comes with a HISS Scout that attaches to a HISS Tank.  Also comes with a Cobra Standard that he can hold or can plug into a HISS Tank to show which is his personal vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>They left off the Panel with the news that there will be new playsets in 2010, but that the Flagg and the Terror Drome are not being planned for yet.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\nSo now you know\u2026<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/panel.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><H2><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/events\/joecon09\/hasbro\/hasbro.html\" style=\"color:#ff0000\">Click here for images from the Panel!<\/a><\/center><\/h2><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a great time at Friday\u2019s Joe Con, but probably the most exciting part was the Hasbro panel.
