Live-Action G.I. JOE Movie?

Just as those with keen observation skills and fans of both the Transformers and G.I. Joe, who've seen the Transformers movie might have noticed, there were several hints (or, "cameos") during several scenes which could indicate that a real-life G.I. Joe movie might be in the works, soon:

- In the opening sequence, during Blackout's invasion of the Qatar SOCCENT base, the officer ordering the Pave Low to turn away, step out, etc., was named Col. Sharpe.

- Another possible cameo was after the SpecOps guys landed at the SOCCENT base, a pair of African-American guys are seen playing basketball -- one of them was talking in rhyme.

- One of the F-22 Raptors had a name written in the cockpit: "Capt. B. Armbruster" -- Capt. Brad J. Armbruster, aka "Ace", is a Sky Striker pilot in the G.I. Joe series.

- The Laurentian Abyss, where the fallen Decepticons were dumped off near the end of the movie, is the same abyss where G.I. Joe and Cobra fought for the heavy water in the first mini-series.

- The black Sector 7 vehicles that were escorting Bumblebee and the Allspark look very similar to G.I. Joe A.W.E. Strikers.

- Josh Duhamel's character, Capt. Lennox, first appeared in the G.I. Joe vs. Transformers comic book.

- The movie prints were delivered to theaters under the code name "Cobra".

- The hacker's (Glen Whitman) room, had three model planes hanging by the window. One of them looks like a Sky Sweeper from SpyTroops, and one looked like a Sky Striker.

Whether a Joe movie will really be made, remains to be confirmed. But one can't help but take notice of these cameos and think that it was all just coincidental.

YO JOE!!!
