dude, even the transformers would be like, offline and shit.

witterquick!
arzon!
CRYOTEK!!!
heroes you can believe in.

have you dudes even seen the new transformers?
dude, its all combining and shit.
y'know, i think its gonna end with all the decepticons and all the autobots joining together to form one massive robot and then realising they have no one left to shoot at.
like in the ineffables!
only lamer.

Wait who was for the Power Rangers?

The Visionaries were cool. They were the ones with holograms and a quasi-medieval look, right? I had a few figures and some comics.

Who remembers the Inhumanoids?

Char Aina

00:36 / 24.08.05

(in the interests of balance, i feel i should point out that i wanted to be a centurion too. just not as badly as i wanted to be witterquick. also, there is a cryotek transformer,/a>, just a kinda lame one.)

I would have wanted to be a centurion expect girl centurions were only allowed to sit at desks and talk to boy centurions while they got extreme.

Saint Keggers

00:38 / 24.08.05

The Inhumanoids rocked!

I wanted the toys!

The Return Of Rothkoid

00:38 / 24.08.05

Centurions? About as close to that as I get is watching the filmclip for Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.

Tryphena Absent

00:39 / 24.08.05

... and to think a minute ago I was prepared to clip the Power Ranger's fan round the ear. At least pink and yellow got to do stuff. Go go Power Rangers!

I think that as soon a POWER EXTREME is on the table, everybody loses.

"As a college student at age 14, Max built his own nuclear powered submarine. He is the only person ever to waterski across the Atlantic. For exercise he regularly swims from California to Hawaii ... and back."

That's more like it. That's some spaghetti.

Saint Keggers

00:41 / 24.08.05

I've never heard of it. But I must say, I do like Rocket Rocket Robin Hood.

Char Aina

00:43 / 24.08.05

dude.
primos.
no power.

put them on some crazy ass planet half way from here to there and maybe, just maybe, the centurions would kick some ass.
but then, how would the visionaries get there?
they have no rockets!
unless i missed the one with merlins's magic rocket?

i mean, power extreme only gets you so far.
like, until a power cut.

Saint Keggers

00:45 / 24.08.05

Samurai Jack isnt that horrid either!

ONLY NICE THINGS

00:46 / 24.08.05

I really want "Dragon, criminal overlord" on my ID card.

Char Aina

00:47 / 24.08.05

on a throwback tip, does anyone remember the transforming rocks?
my little brothr had one called magmar.
i thought they kinda sucked.

Saint Keggers

00:53 / 24.08.05

They were great. My litle cousin had one and I showed him how they were great fighters. I did this by chucking them at his head. Good times.

01:01 / 24.08.05

Odd how popular rocks were, given their basic lack of... dynamism.

Saint Keggers

01:05 / 24.08.05

And what the hell happened when all the toys went Day-glo colours? WTF?

Char Aina

01:09 / 24.08.05

maybe loads of kids grew up in quarries, spending every day wishing for a way to hide.
i mean, its only a half decent camouflage if you're already there, isnt it? you could hardly sneak into someones house and then turn into a rock.
i imagine the cartoon was filled with trojan-rock type shenanigans.

Saint Keggers

01:15 / 24.08.05

Maybe it took place in the days when pet rocks were all the rage?

Char Aina

01:26 / 24.08.05

...and as that conversation peters out, so must i.
to sleep...perchance to dream?
of rocks and exoskeletons and spectrsal knights, no doubt.
see you in the morningshine.

G'night...

G'night Toksik!

I won't have anyone bad-mouthing Centurions in my lateshift, Rothkoid. Like Robocop quotes: no-one can beat them.

Any cartoon that has the position of "Rugged Land Operations Specialist" is ace. Disagree? You don't matter!

Saint Keggers

01:37 / 24.08.05

M.A.S.K. was also keen.

See, at work, we're unable to decide who'd win a fight between Sam Hell from Hell Comes To Frogtown and Jack Deth from Trancers. Help us.

Saint Keggers

01:45 / 24.08.05

Well I've not seen either. I am saddened by that fact.

Jake, Colossus of Clout

01:47 / 24.08.05

Inhumanoids were indeed cool. I had the big yellow, bird-headed guy with the exposed ribcage that you could imprison people in. And his guts were all squishy. Now THAT was a toy.

Saint Keggers

01:48 / 24.08.05

Stretch Armstrong was a cool toy!

Triplets

01:54 / 24.08.05

Just don't leave him on the windowsill during a hot summer day.

Saint Keggers

01:57 / 24.08.05

Or cut him open to see what made him stretch.

Jake, Colossus of Clout

02:06 / 24.08.05

Ooh! What was inside?
