Destro's M.A.R.S. Arctic Headquarters have been revealed for all to see. Thanks to a IESB.net's Robert Sanchez we can now glimpse the sets and glean some of the secrets of the new G.I. Joe flick. Find out what's in Destro's Arctic Headquarters, and get some toy hints, after the jump.
Destro's Arctic Headquarters include a submarine docking area, medical lab, the diving bell room, Destro's submarine, a control room and (best of all) a giant ice cave. IESB also got to check out a few of the JOE toys including a JOE Sub and described it:
Small two man submarine called a "SHARC" (Submersible High-speed Attack and Reconnaissance Craft), the cargo area of a troop transport and the remains of the Urban Combat Level of The Pit.
As far as details about the plot and characters all they could reveal is that there will be lots of explosions. Vipers and Neo-Vipers were on set. It should be exciting to see how they'll bring all of the Vipers to life, as they're the best expendable foot soldiers ever (so many different kinds!). Also, Brendan Fraser has no connection to the movie whatsoever and neither does Dwayne Johnson (pity).

Even though I had that action figure, I never understood the need for both goggles and a mirrored faceplate.
Also... raping my childhood... etc... I only hope this movie drives up the value of all that crap I left stored in my parents' attic.
I just thought of something. Why the fuck do face masked Vipers need goggles?
@StrangelyBrown: Crap, you beat by miliseconds!!
@tamoko: This is the second time today that I beat someone else to the same smartass remark by exactly one minute! If it happens a third time, do I get Beatified, or something?
@tamoko: @StrangelyBrown:
Why?!
...duh. Ze goggles? ZEY DO NOTINK! (other give it a "twice as cool" factor)
Erg, took "glimpse" literally. Don't want description, want pictures. I could have guessed there was a cave, a base, vehicles, etc...
@tamoko: @StrangelyBrown: cuz it makes them look cooler!!!!!!
Having a GI Joe movie doth make me hope for a M.A.S.K. movie! I had some toy figures from that, and many happy memories to boot.
When they say "for all to see" do they mean, for the reporter to see and all to read about?
@tamoko: The goggles, they do nothing!! - McBain.
@Torley: M.A.S.K. was the shit. I have (had) just about everything from that because for some strange reason my parents would let me watch that show when they wouldn't let me watch GI JOE (lousy hippies). How they haven't pitched that movie after Transformers, and now this, is a mystery to me.
@CmdrHunt: Rainier Wolfcastle while Filming Radioactive Man. not McBain. Worst. Comment. Ever.
At last, Snow Job aka Zoidberg of GI Joe will be useful!
Okay, who else used to take apart the GI Joe action figures and put them back together, mixing up body parts to give the Joes sex changes?
Just me? I'll be quiet now.
@StrangelyBrown
oh it will drive the value up alright...
too bad your parents threw out your toys 5yrs ago though... lol
HAIL COBRA!
Why are some carrying BAR's? There are no bullets in the Joe-iverse.
