The Toy: Yer standard good vs evil action figures, clearly delineated by the fact that hero Crystar is made of...crystal, while baddie brother Moltar is lava.
Possible Plot: The Marvel comic made to tie-in with the toys, so there’s plenty of mythology to play with.
Most interesting is warring brothers’ uncle, Feldspar, whose loyalties are literally divided by the fact he’s half-crystal, half-lava.
Basically, play it as a LOTR piss-take with Gandalf played for maximum black comedy as he’s forever stuck in the middle.

Action Force was just the UK branding name for GI Joe... Essentially all the same characters

EXO Squad was freakin awesome! Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was good too. I loved how every awesoem cartoon in the 80's/early 90's involved vehicles and machinery!

Gobots movie idea reminded me of the trailer Black 20 Studio did a few years back when Transformers came out. If you've not seen it, head to YouTube, it's fantastic. The truck transforming is amazing...although not totally realistic as none of the robots fall in three seconds like the actual cheap toys did!

M.U.S.C.L.E. Otherwise known as Kinnikuman in Japan ran for years as an animated TV show and had a few movies as well. Nice job with the research.

Don't mean to be a pedant, but they've replaced the original transformers image that they incorrectly posted yesterday with the correct Gobots image... so you're ALL RIGHT!:)

So what was it that made you think avatar was a thundercats movie? Was it the exploding planet? Their ship crashing and stranding them on an alien world? The ancient evil mummy? The magic sword? The battletank? Mutants? The f**king Roboburbles?! Mr bong, you smoke too much

Everyone knows the story of how Hasbro made toys for the Conan film, but were disgusted at the violence (in the film), so instead of shelving the whole production line, they created rebranded it as He-man. I thought i would repeat it for no reason whatsoever.
