Rebuilding Elmer Studios - Maya

If Natasha was the “leader” of the B-Team, then Maya Gold was certainly the most popular. She had appeared in ten different episodes of the “classic” Elmer Studios series, more then any other B-Team member, and had developed the most distinctive personality and presence of them along the way. These distinctive traits and popularity meant that she was a certainty for the re-tooled B-Team.

However, they also presented a problem in being incompatible with the new, unified Elmer Studios continuity and background. The result was that, while Maya might have changed very little in terms of personality, her appearance and abilities are dramatically different.

Episode 226 - The legion of the mysterious Black X-1 VT Fighter, parts 1-2

Episode 226: The legion of the mysterious Black X-1 VT Fighter, parts 1-2

Oh noes! Not the chicken pots!

In the annals of human conflict, never before has one man been owed so much by so many as Brick. That's right, Brick Hecter, fall-down drunk, derelict of duty, a mechanic who harasses superior officers in public. But it's not all laughs and sunshine for our man Brick; sabotage is afoot aboard the SDF-1, and his struggle with his personal demons is only compounded by the appearance of a mysterious fighter full of improbable technology backed by a conspiracy that even a  three year old could see through. That's right, Legion of the Black X-1 may be the title, but really it's all about Brick.

Who's Brick?

Episode 225 - Old Conflicts Renewed, chapters 11-20

Episode 225: Old Conflicts Renewed, chapters 11-20

Four score and seven years ago, our robot dinosaur fathers bought forth on this franchise a toyline conceived in the marketing department and founded on the proposition that all plastic is moulded equal.

The Empire’s campaign of mild inconvenience continues, and it is up to Kevin to stop them!  Armed with nothing but whatever powers he has contrived for himself today, his ambulatory pile of robot dinosaur poo and his ability to effortlessly crush anyone who faces him, can Big Kev save the day? Of course he can. Don’t be silly. Not a single hint of suspense will be given as the war lurches to its shambolic conclusion in a long list of different types of plastic toys. So join all your favourite characters; Big Kev, Siege, Isaac Cloud, Zephyr, General Drack, Mick, Tom, John, Charles and Charles, Our Hero Raven, Captain Gruud, Lancetaka Solyaku Foo Foo Cuddlypoops Askakura the third, Mike the Human and Bob Anglerfish for this gripping tale of something or another that the whole family will likely forget all about.
