I have the entire IDW GIJoe comic run from 2000? onwards. One of my buddies was a producer on the GI Joe: Renegades cartoon 3 years ago here in Hollywood, and it’s one of the most pro-America cartoons you’ll find. Just didn’t get the green light for Season 2 even though it was intentionally open-ended in the season finale.
I had lot of the 80s stuff and some from later runs here and there.
Your friend did a good job on Renegades. For what it was and what constraints there probably were, I actually looked forward to the next episode. I discovered it by chance. My only quibbles with it were the character designs/animation style and how the main characters weren’t a lot like the originals. That was a managment decision of course. I liked the nods to the old series characters that were mentioned.
I liked how the Cobra main villains were just that much more evil, esp. Firefly and the Baroness.
