"Yup, we hired Doctor Mindbender to help us with our FIENDISH MASTER PLAN! There's no way this'll go wrong, no sir."

I mean, really. You might as well just grab a shotgun and blow your own leg off. It'd save time.

I dunno, tv and movies have taught me to be very sceptical of organisations which replace a "c" with a "k" in words. Maybe those guys need to hit up a dictionary and a thesaurus to rethink that acronym.

[scorntx]

Well, they're already being led by the villain.
What harm can it do at this point?

[owlbrigade1]

Could make their PR guy's life easier? [g] Fair point though :)

I really hate to say this because I like Revolution as a concept so far, but they really need better lettering, especially here. I mean IDW already has John Workman on their payroll for "Ragnarok", so maybe he could pop over and help them out?

I see Hasbro is scrapping the barrel.

[owlbrigade1]

I think they've gone through the bottom of the barrel here now.

Hey! I liked MASK. :(

But yes, Hasbro is trying very hard to revive a lot of their old "boys toy" brands. Transformers and Nerf alone can't sustain them forever, especially if/when Disney stops renewing their Star Wars and Marvel licenses (which won't happen until 2020 at the earliest, but still).

MASK isn't bottom of the barrel though...you want bottom of the barrel? They're gonna try to bring back Visionaries, of all things.

[owlbrigade1]

Visionaries, now that would be cool. Certainly more the Generic Military Mashup Men Franchise #2. At least Visionaries (Knights of the Magical Light!) had a much more imaginative set up.

As someone who actually lived through the 80s, MASK was 100% better than Visionaries.

[owlbrigade1]

Hah, I was in the 1980s too, and I stand by my claim (although Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors beats both, but it is Mattel not Hasbro!). Hmmm, with you on side of MASK and me on Visionaries, we seem to be on the brink of a ... Civil War!

Well, it'd still be a better reason for one than Marvel's latest [g]

[super_fly]

Me too! I used to have the black pickup truck with the popup turret, the Formula 1 race car that turned into a jet, and the green motorcycle that turned into a motorcycle with helicopter blades.

[kamino_neko]

I had...The truck, Trakker's car, and Mayhem's jeticopter. My friend had Sly's motorcycle, so if I went to his place, the teams could be evenly matched. >_>

[kamino_neko]

8 characters.

3 named for the original MASK team.
3 named for the original VENOM team.
2 original.

Gee, wonder which two will 'wash out'.

This is competent, but disappointing in the sense that it's not Centurions.
