It's GI Joe meets A-team!
Ok, Cobra Industries is a MegaCorp "with best interests of humankind in mind", complete with "Knowing Is Half the Battle" commercials for HubTV announcing how Cobra makes new drugs, military tech, etc, to keep humanity safe and happy. This inversion of the normal RARR-TERRORIST Cobra I like.
The Joes? There are only 4 of them on the run, Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, and TunnelRat. Of course, SnakeEyes drops by for Scarlett's sake. The dialogue is more snippy than snappy, the Joes are all 18-20-somethings far as I can tell.
The A-team? Awww... it's so cute. "Wanted for crimes they did not commit, (the Joes) are on a mission to prove their innocence (and Cobra's evil)." Even the opening voice-over is a classic riff on the original A-team opening.
LadyTevar's verdict? Yes, I'd watch it.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I watched some of it on Youtube--the writing was better than I expected, and it's an interesting take on the franchise.
I wonder how they'll make the Joes get all their fancy gear and vehicles. Gotta sell toys after all.

Re: GI JOE: Renegade
That looks...interesting. And the animation reminds me of X-Men Evolution; I'll keep an eye out for this.
