By the sounds of it, it looks like Hasbro are realigning themselves for the run up to the movie.

A worst case scenario that seems horribly likely to happen is that Hasbro will go with a new publisher to start a new contnuity in conjunction with the new movie; subsequently making DDP's World War III the end of a 26 year old continuity. Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would rather DDP kept the rights, they're the kind of company that would keep the old continuity going and create another series to follow the upcoming movie.

I have just tried to access GiJoe UK and it was currently unavailable does that mean it has gone altogether due to lack of anything getting done on it?

The last I heard it was on pause while Alex tried to find a better method of removing spam accounts (and it is a nightmare), and was going to relaunch the boardwhen the site was finished.

Yeah, I got an automated e-mail from the site telling me roughly that.

I've plumped up the site a bit so you can see what I'm trying to do. (Had a bit of spare time as my 2 and a 1/2 year old daughter was ill and had to take a day off work to look after her. She did seem a bit interested when I stuck an old episode of Action Force in the middle of her Winnie the Pooh!)

The site at the moment is limited to 5 pages only, does anyone think it's worth forking out more cash for extra pages?

Everything pre World War III and Storm Shadow now updated in the continuity page on the site.

Has anybody tried this Quiz?

I'm pretty good but I'm a bit rubbish at the cartoon questions as I've only seen the ones that were released on video in the UK.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get round to this, as per previously mentioned in this thread I've now updated the site with all Action Force stories that didn't make the main continuity with Key Point refs from the US series.

Now that the full list is up I think that all the best story arcs in the series have been knocked out, the storylines that are still up for debate as possibilities are as follows.

AF28 Gunpoint!
AF29-31 Sky Strike
AF32 Runaway Train
AF33-34 Sunday Drivers
AF43 Silent Night

Where I've fitted everything in on the continuity we're talking around 1988.

A little double checking of all US / UK issues in this period might be in order to cross check any contradictions.

I've been thinking about pulling forward Super Trooper and Nights In Armour to 1988 and using the Cobra Civil War as a reason for Action Force rejoining the joes.
