And yes there were drugs involved!
I guess the drugs are a given, but it makes me think of that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle RPG from Palladium. I loved that game.
I think their main enemy, their "Decker" as it were, should also be a monkeybear, an austrolopithicus/arctothopter whose enormous misshapen skull has two brains in it: Argnox, the first of the monkeybears, is vicious and bloodthristy but also brilliant; the cooler, more calculating brain is that of Dr. Angus Cruikshank, mastermind of the monkeybear project whose original body was destroyed by the mutant leeches of rival mad scientist Boone Von Boone. Argnox, no mean surgeon himself, saved his beloved master's brain by implanting it in his own skull, but much of Cruikshank's awesome knowledge was lost. This villain is a tragic figure, torn by its own impending madness, driven to avenge itself upon Von Boone, and desperate to capture our motley crew of monkeybears for reasons unexplained. He's also mysterious. How old is he? Both of his source-species are extinct. The whole drama of Argnox and Cruikshank unfolds over the course of the first season, at the end of which something awful happens to him. In the second season, the monkeybears must face Boone Von Boone, who is actually a version of Cruikshank from an alternate dimension where everyone is evolved from leeches.
See, I'm going for more of a Transformers: Beast Wars thing here than the A-Team, though I like them running around solving other people's problems. Do they build tanks?
(Argnox, by the way, is pronounced with one of these thingies: ~ ; like D'Artagnon.) |
