Torrents are available.
Just in the middle of Ep 1 just now. Seems pretty darned good so far.

Watched both eps and found it better than Prime - it's punchier, faster, funnier, and feels a lot like a Joe version of Animated. And Tunnel Rat, Scarlett and Flint rule. And that's twice now a Hub show has set up a main character and then KILLED HIM WITHOUT WARNING in the first episode! That caught me off guard - and worked better then in Prime, since (as Ripcord isn't a robot with a big-name VA) I didn't automatically assume he's going to be fine later. |

Flint is the man.
As it should be.

I really don't like the character designs nor Lady Jaye's voice, but it's generally solid stuff overall.

The character designs don't seem to be very popular at all.

It's up on the youtube now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-92mxxBh4UDecent enough, but not setting my world on fire. Much better and more engaging than Prime though! Not sure about the muted colour palette as an animation choice. Ponies is still the best new cartoon Hasbro are doing  EDIT: BOOOO I really don't like the new Dr Mindbender. I don't mind redesigns, but if you're going to change someone's personality and appearance, you might as well just give them a new name. A chap in a labcoat is boring, I demand a bald-headed, monocled, moustached guy with purple pants, bare chest and a cape |

Count me as another one who doesn't like the character designs at all. Duke and Tunnel Rat are the ones that mainly don't sit well with me. I actually quite like the colour palette, compared to something like Wolverine and the X-Men which I have been watching a lot of recently it makes it feel a bit more grounded.
The idea of a firmly entrenched Cobra and the Joes as hunted fugitives is an interesting turnaround from how things are usually done and has a bit of story potential. (Although I can't help but observe that at the end of the first episode they are effectively a bunch of US Army personnel wanting for a crime they did not commit... Are they planning to hide out in the L.A. Underground perchance......)

I've never really enjoyed GI Joe much, but after liking the new film I wanted to give this one a shot.
I really dig it! The A-Team homage is great and I found this show easy to follow. It's pretty much the nearest thing to an A-Team cartoon there has been.
Whether it follows the original 80's stuff well or not I enjoy this neitherless.
As for Mindbender, he could end up bald, with one eye or whatever later... I actually like his interpretation in this series. He kinda reminds me of Henry Masters from Animated.
(Isn't Dr Mindbender the same guy as Dr X in Action Man?)

Even with the new intro starting with episode 3, you are just waiting for the narrator to say "a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team."
I agree it does seem to be an A-Team cartoon without the rights to the A-Team characters,

I lost interest in watching it when I clicked during episode 2 that's it's just a rip of The A-Team (when Colonel Decker, sorry, Flint arrived) with the serial numbers filed off. Oh well. I had downloaded 3 but deleted without watching.
What I saw was well done, but, um, the A-Team already exists. Still no harm done. After all, I was watching in yarrr format.

Haha, I love you Ralph. It reminded you of the A-Team so it was immediately deleted. No quarter given in Burns Towers.

Speaking of which, I am finding season 5 hard to track down, but of the older design sets. Its the last one I need.
Was G.I Joe Resolute any good?

I just watched episode 9 of this series and it is the most A-Team episode yet.
Four fugitives in a van pass through a town in the middle of now where and help the locals that are being terrorised by a biker gang, and flee before Decker shows up. It is as if they just turned one of the A-Team scripts into animation.

Oh god no!
Android is the OS for Google phones and others. Google Play is it's version of iTunes for buying music, video, apps and books. Only for android based phones and devices, no idea if there is DRM on their video content.
