G.I. Joe Classified Series Unveils Dark Cyber-Villain Synapse, Ships in 2026
G.I. Joe fans, mark your calendars – for 2026. Hasbro just unveiled Axel “Synapse” Soma for the G.I. Joe Classified Series, and he's not just another Cobra operative. This cyberwarfare specialist brings a dark, personal vendetta to the battlefield, making him a standout.
Synapse was a Darklonian tech pioneer, betrayed and left for dead by Mistress Armada on Destro's orders. Now, he's allied with Cobra Commander, wielding cutting-edge cybernetics and neural network hacking for one purpose: retribution. His chilling promise to "raise the dead to crush the living" elevates the Classified Series' storytelling into darker territory.
This figure injects a modern tech edge into the G.I. Joe universe, expanding Cobra's reach into digital warfare. Synapse comes with a mindspike whip, EMP Pulse backpack, synaptic claw, and articulation for dynamic posing. Pre-orders are live for $27.99, but the vengeful tech-villain won't ship until November 2026.
“His chilling promise to "raise the dead to crush the living" elevates the Classified Series' storytelling into darker territory.”
Catzye Take
This deep dive into character motivation, especially a villain's, is always a welcome sight in collectible lines. What's interesting is how Synapse pushes G.I. Joe's lore into modern cyberwarfare, a trend we've seen across various franchises. Fans will have a long wait, but the promise of such a compelling narrative could make it worth it.
