I really love the Flora.
When I was only 8 years old was this alien little plant that I saw sacrifice his own life to save the universe.
In the episode "The Great Gardener"
The only way to defeat Sawboss was to use a device. that kills all plants on the planet without doing harm to humans.
Flora is not a human, she is another alien plant.
Flora decides to sacrifice her own life to save Jayce and her friends.
When I was just a child I have seen the Flora who was also a child like me do your self sacrifice.
This was so appalling that made me cry nonstop for 3 whole months.
And I felt guilty for pick some flowers for my mother.
I lived imagining how plants feel.
Imagining how the Flora feel?

That is really sweet and sensitive of you. I also love Flora. She is a cute, sweet, and loyal character and friend to her team.

Your picture should be included in all definitions of "kawaii," very nicely done!

Aww, thanks so much. Glad you like her. 
I see you are also a WW fan. Awesome. I don't run into many of those, so it's nice to meet another.
Some very interesting ideas you have there, and I now find myself giving that some serious consideration. Would be an interesting mashup for some fanart, yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Always a pleasure to meet a fellow WW fan, my compliments on your excellent taste in animation!
I'd say this mashup is definitely worthy of your awesome artwork, yes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it was definitely one of the better animated shows in the 80's, and had a kickin' opening and ending theme. I have both on my iPod too.
Just wish they would have given the show some kind of an ending and some closure though before it left us, sigh. Always had the biggest crush on Jayce, and I loved his voice.
Oh, I need to try my hand at this. I love your ideas, and would love to put them to paper. Let's see if I can give this a shot soon. I seriously need to get back into drawing mode, and this is some good inspiration fuel for that, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad I could help, have fun with your drawings & let me know how they turn out!
Agreed that Jayce is awesome, ditto for Herc, Gillian, & the rest of the Lightning League. The voice actors for Jayce & Herc also did roles for C.O.P.S.; have you ever seen it?
Maybe it's just as well that Wheeled Warriors didn't broadcast an ending, since it's made lots of people curious as to what it would be, bringing more attention to the show. And hey, lots more adventures before the finale are always welcome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure thing.
Yes, agreed. They are all awesome.
Now that you mention it, I do remember hearing Jayce's voice on C.O.P.S.... as Hardtop, right? Though I don't recall hearing Herc's voice. Who did he voice in that one?
I guess there could always be a really well written fanfic with a great idea for some closure, as well as more adventures beforehand. I'd have to look to see what's out there as I haven't read a fanfic in ages, lol. And wouldn't it be a hoot if the series got revived and continued somehow? So long as it wasn't changed much and was done right, and the animation was really good, I'd definitely be willing to watch.

An Oon pixel! Awesome! I look forward to you dusting it off.
Yes, Jayce's voice (Darrin Baker) was also that of Hardtop, the rookie cop who was - not surprisingly - the best driver on the force. Herc's voice (Len Carlson) was heard in the characters of Sundown (a Texas Ranger, complete with twang) and Taser, both of whom shared Herc's common sense; the same gentleman also did the voices of Mace and the Big Boss.
I have a fan fiction page of my own, currently being revised. You're more than welcome to read its offerings at jayce.dreamstation.com/wheeled…

Yeah, I was doing some vintage character pixels some years back. I already had Snarf, Orko and Dree Elle, the Berbils, and Clawdeen in pixel form. Started Oon, but never quite finished him, poor thing. He was gonna be a customizable shop item on a forum for forum cash, just never took off. He's lost on an old backup harddrive, so it'll take some digging to find him.
No wonder I also kind of crushed on Hardtop too, lol. Wow, I wasn't aware Herc's voice actor did so many characters on that show. Wouldn't have guessed Big Boss, since he really changed it a bit for that role. Omg, I loved the episode with Mace and the cat burglar Nightshade. One of my faves, if not THE fave episode of that show for me.
Awesome! I'll check it out. I used to read a bunch of Real Ghostbusters fanfics a while back, then some TCats, and a little Jem, then just slacked off and stopped for a while. Your fanfics will be my reintroduction point, as well as my first delve into WW fanfic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oon and Snarf as pixels? Awesome! I think the '80s animated sidekicks deserve their own place to congregate, shooting the breeze.
Mace & Nightshade are THE most kawaii animated couple since Herc & Morgana! I love the three episodes featuring Mace/Nightshade & always wished for more. BTW, Herc's voice actor also did Herc's voice for Allo, leader of the Dinosaucers in the cartoon of the same name, plus (I kid you not) Quackpot of the Tyrannos with Big Boss' voice.

Hear hear! Sidekicks unite!
Ooohhh, now that crossover idea piqued my curiosity. That would be a very interesting story indeed. I could definitely see the thunderkittens and Flora playing together, maybe getting into some mischief. Mumm-ra and the Monster Minds teaming up on the heroes would be a force to be reckoned with. A contest between Panthro and Herc would be quite a tough call though.
Weren't they just? 
I had no idea that voice actor got around so much back then. Now I have to go google and see just how many characters he tackled, lol.

There was a series of Star Trek novels called "The Captain's Table," where this otherdimensional bar would pop up throughout time & space, admitting only captains and giving them the chance to relax among their peers. I'd love for the '80s cartoon sidekicks to have something like that.
I can see Flora happily mastering the ThunderKittens' space board, while WilyKat breathes easy riding Brock. (Gillian would figure out the reason behind the eternal malfunction of his space board: Wilykit keeps sabotaging it, LOL). As for Mumm-Ra, I think he usually teams up with other villains so they can serve as subordinates/lackeys/cannon fodder, such as the Mutants. If he hears about the Monster Minds coming and figures out they can't be intimidated, I can actually see him fighting against them! O_O
Mace/Nightshade forever! Their wedding would have been VERY interesting, methinks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that would be a fun read. I wonder what conversations they would have, and experiences they would share with each other.
I could see Flora totally doing that. Yes, poor Wilykat! I do remember he could never quite ride the board as well as Kit, and she would definitely have the inclination to mess with him like that too, lol...
Yikes! Mumm-ra vs Monster Minds! Who would win? That would be pretty epic!
Oh yes, I think you'd be spot on with that assumption. It would be cute to see Mace blush and squirm awkwardly too, though I know he would be happy as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I imagine it would be a chance for sidekicks to get support & sympathy from each other. I have some ideas for that story & will write it from Oon's perspective, concerning the first time he visits.
As Mumm-Ra fights the Monster Minds, everyone else would be busy keeping the inhabitants of Third Earth safe from the conflict. I can just hear Herc wryly remark that they should sell tickets for this.
Yeah, Mace would be squirming inside his tux & fighting off the wedding jitters, but he'd forget about all that when Nightshade walks down the aisle in her wedding gown. And the COPS would be built-in security against Big Boss' crooks trying to crash it, LOL!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
These are some really good ideas. I like the way you think concerning these characters.
Oh, of course he'd be floored by her in her gown, coming down the aisle, standing by his side, giving him a deeply loving glance. A COPS wedding would be interesting... Talk about quite a menagerie of characters, lol. If Bulletbroof were ordained, he'd be one hell of a cool minister with that deep voice to proceed over the couple's nuptials, and he'd look very smooth in a tux.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank ye kindly!
It would be fun to see Oon & Snarf already knowing each other from their "sidekick talks" when the crossover takes place. They'd play innocent, of course, when suspicions are raised. "*Snarf-snarf,* where'd you get that idea, Lion-O?" "We-We just have a lot in c-c-common, Master!"
Bulletproof ordained as a minister would be the height of awesomeness I remember he rocked a tux in "The Case of the Stuck-Up Blimp," right alongside Hardtop. Way cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a very good question to ask. You sound very character oriented, and try to get into their heads. I'm sure it helps to write from a character's POV.
Haha, I love it. Secret Society of Sidekicks... shhhh, don't let the main characters know...
I forgot about that episode. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does, it's nice to write in one character's voice. On my fanfic site, "Audric's Journals" does that with Audric (along with Oon included in the first story), while "Midnight Musings" is Herc's POV on the rest of the League (with Oon sneaking in at the end; persistent, he is!).
"Secret Society of Sidekicks," I love it! May I please use it in my fanfic, with full credit for the name given to you?
I think in "The Best of C.O.P.S" DVD and "C.O.P.S. - Volume 1" DVD, both made by Cookie Jar & Mill Creek Entertainment, the first episode on each is "The Case of the Stuck-Up Blimp," with both Hardtop & Bulletproof looking mighty awesome in their tuxes. Hope you enjoy the series soon!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oon is very very sneaky... Never underestimate his sneakiness...
I just read your fic, Audric's Journal: Escape from the Garden, and enjoyed it. I really liked your take on how it all happened, especially how the Black Light is an evil force that caused the unstable sun's radiation to lash out, taking the opportunity to create the Monster Minds to spread it's evil to the universe. Fleshes out the WW's universe a bit better. I'll need to read some more ASAP. You got some mad creative skills, yo!
By all means, feel free to use it if you wish.
Oh yes, I definitely plan on enjoying the episodes. I just ordered the COPS and WW DVD sets, which are so cheap right now on Amazon, I feel like it's practically a steal, lol. Should be here by the weekend. I can't wait!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There can never be too much Oon, methinks...
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed my fanfic! Audric goes through a ton of stuff in the series, so I wanted to give his side of things. At least knowing that the Black Light's responsible for creating the Monster Minds eases his guilt a bit.
The Secret Society of Sidekicks: a very exclusive club indeed!
You are definitely in for a treat! It's awesome getting the entire series of both shows for such great prices. Hope you enjoy them!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awwww, cute lil Oon. I agree.
I can imagine how heavily that would weigh on Audric's shoulders. It is nice to read things from his perspective, since he doesn't appear much in the series. I need to read the next one soon, as well as the other fanfics on your page. I'm sure they are all equally entertaining.
Speaking of entertaining, it's been fun watching the episodes again. Working my way through them recently. Ahhhh, the memories...
I love that scene! You described it so vividly, and I love the candycane fruit swizzle stick idea too. It is fleshing out so nicely.
I need to get to the COPS one yet, but it's been fun watching the WWs ones. I also got into the mood to watch some old Real Ghostbusters eps lately too... Lines for a specific episode popped into my head and I just had to bust it out and watch it (pun intended).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suspect there's a lot more that can be written about Audric. I've always seen him as a combination of King Arthur, Anakin Skywalker (well, the rumors of him before the prequel movies came out), a mad scientist working on the side of good, and the hero from The Fugitive.
I can see Snarf sneaking into the Berbil village for regular SSS meetings, bringing along plenty of yummy candy-cane fruits to share. As for Orko, he teleports into Castle Greyskull to use its interdimensional portals. (Okay, he finally gets into it after random misfirings of his magic, poor guy! ) As for Oon... hmmm, maybe through a closet door in his quarters on the Pride? Or through Gillian's, since he's the wizard.
Ahhh, Real Ghostbusters, love its first two seasons! It's so wonderfully snarky & never takes itself seriously, seasoned with classic '80s New York & enough pseudoscience to keep even Egon happy. Add Arsenio Hall as Winston & Lorenzo Music (who also did Garfield's voice) as Peter, and I'm one very happy camper! There are some great graphic novels too, such as Ghostbusters: Ghost Busted (manga-style; its main story is movie-based, while the last chapter is a separate story inspired by the cartoon), Ghostbusters: The Other Side (movie-based; the guys visit Purgatory the hard way), and Infestation: Volume 2 (movie-based; the guys have to fight zombies AND something even the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man might want to run away from! Another story has the classic Star Trek crew fighting zombies between Star Trek: The Motion Picture & Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan). Note to self: invite Slimer to join the SSS.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is a good way of describing Audric I've never thought of before.
All good viable ways for these guys to get together, lol. Yeah, Gillian's closet does makes sense, or maybe he was kind enough to provide Oon with his own secret portal in his own closet.
Oh yes, love the comedy, and especially Pete's sense of humor. The show had so many good and memorable quotable lines, just like the movie in my opinion. Drool the Dog Faced Goblin was one of the ones I had lines swimming around in my head from recently, so I had to pull it out and watch it. Another one is Ghost Fight at the OK Corral. The scene with Pete in the saloon with the card game is priceless! "Good thing I didn't show them that fifth ace!" One of my faves!
I loved Lorenzo music. Sad day when his voice was changed. Then the show started a slow downward spiral, starting with making Slimer the focus of the show, relegating the guys to second billing status. *sigh* Also changing Janine's appearance and voice as well, though it was given a nice explanation later on. The first seasons were it's Glory Days. Took them a while to finally get the show on DVD, so now they can be relived and enjoyed all over again. Makes me a super happy fan.
I will have to check out these graphic novels post haste then. Sound very interesting. And yes, Slimer has to be part of the SSS. He'd be trying to steal food from under other's noses, that gluttonous galoot, and leaving slime trails in his wake.

In my fanfic "Midnight Musings," I have Oon's room being a hallway closet beside Jayce's room, to stay close to his Master & because he doesn't need much. If he gets tired of the oil cans falling off the shelves whenever Herc's piloting (BG), I can see Oon ask Gillian for the closet portal, essentially a subspace pocket to store his stuff, later on used to reach SSS meetings.
Peter Venkman was the best when Lorenzo Music was his voice actor, for sure. I laughed over the two episodes guest-starring Peter's dad, con-man extraordinaire: "You CONNED me! ME! Your own son!" I also liked his ongoing war with Slimer (poor lil' guy ), his constant attempts to perfect laziness ("Aw, c'mon, Ray, it's SATURDAY!" ), and his eternal delusion at being a ladies' man ("I'm Peter Venkman, I'm famous!") The other guys had good lines too, and I loved the Egon/Janine romance, so kawaii!
J. Michael Straczynski wrote that episode explaining Janine's change of appearance; he also wrote quite a few Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors episodes. (I remember some music from Wheeled Warriors snuck into Real Ghostbusters. (BG)) And I agree re: later seasons; back then, I saw it'd been dumbed down WAY too much for me to keep watching.
The SSS bar might insist Silmer sit in a chair made of sponges to constantly soak up his slime. Said green slime could then be sold to any number of '80s shows/movies at a profit, LOL! And Snarf might have to bring a second bag of goodies just for Slimer...
One more graphic novel to check out: Mars Attacks IDW! The bubble-headed aliens from that cheesy Mars Attacks! movie invade several realities, including Real Ghostbusters (YAY!) & the '80s Transformers cartoon (pre-movie, YAY again!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll need to get myself back to those fics and read some more. I'll make the time, lol.
Oh good ol' Pete, lol, you pegged him well. Just watched The Headless Motorcyclist the other night, and check on the ladies' man bit. He kept getting whiplash from turning his head to follow every pretty girl at the parties they were attending. But as the guys all said at the end, "we wouldn't have him any other way".
I love all the RGB guys, really and truly, but Pete's always been my fave. Love his flippant lines, and yes, poor Slimer took a lot from him, but Pete did soften up to the little guy over the series, especially on the episode Slimer, Come Home. He realized how much Slimer cared about them, and he about him in return. He may be an ugly little spud, slimy and clingy, but he's got lotsa heart and loyalty to the guys, especially Pete for some reason... much to Pete's chagrin.
Who didn't love the Egon/Janine possible pairing? It seemed to be starting to really develop on that episode Janine, You've Changed too. One of my fave eps for sure.
OMG! It's not just me thinking I'm hearing things then. When I was watching some WW episodes recently, I thought the music sounded at times like the music on RGB. That explains it. I'm not imagining it, lol. I guess looking at it now, it makes sense if they were both made by DIC. They probably recycled some stuff in their sound/music library.
They would have to stock up on food double for Slimer alone, and the sponges would be a good idea. One of those entities they could sell it to could be Nickelodeon Studios for their game shows.
All this cool stuff I somehow missed out on and need to catch up on, lol. Better start getting on it then.
Oh, and with Halloween coming up, would be the perfect time to whip out the RGB episodes with Samhain. And I just got a nifty idea I hope to try my hand at drawing soon... Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy hanging out with our resident plant girl, Flora... Or maybe a scene with Baby Groot hanging out and dancing for the whole WW crew? Whattaya think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was that the RGB episode where the guys were all in tuxedos at a fancy party at the end?
Peter: "Hey, I live for danger!" (Wanders after yet another gorgeous woman)
Egon: "To Peter Venkman!" (The others raise their champagne glasses)
Ray: "He'll get us all killed yet, but I wouldn't have it any other way!"
(They toast him with Winston, who also said something I never quite heard)
I liked it when Slimer got his revenge on Peter, so to speak: in one episode, he substituted himself for Peter's towel in the shower after Peter short-sheeted Ray's bed (I think it was the second time Peter's dad guest-starred), LOL!
Shuki Levy & Haim Saban were the music masters behind both RGB & Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. It could explain how the darker, grimmer, "spookier" music tracks from the latter were included in the former. (And that's probably what attracted me to watch RGB!
"You Can't Do That On Television" always needed more buckets of green slime to dump on people, ditto for later stories of Masters of the Universe, where the bad guys had a slime-fall torture device, I think.
Flora hanging out with Baby Groot would be the height of kawaiiness! Maybe the Lightning League lands on a tree-world that Baby Groot repopulated?

Apologies for the belated reply...
Yes, definitely that episode. Pete and his woman-wooing ways, lol. Different episodes he tried his charms on females, but it never quite seemed to work out for him, did it? Like the one where Slimer wore a Peter costume and smooched/slimed his new date, and she left in a disgusted huff... yet another example of Slimer getting back at Pete.
Ahhhh, that explains the music. Thanks for the info.
I'll need to try my hand at that soon-ish, lol. That proposal of yours sounds like the seed for an interesting crossover fanfic, eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problems, glad you're all right.
Peter Venkman & Slimer are the textbook definition of a love-hate relationship: Peter despises him (shades of the first Ghostbusters movie) while Slimer idolizes him (isn't that always the case?). It's great to see that interaction, especially in RGB Seasons 1 & 2. (They remind me so much of Herc & Oon, it makes me grin like an idiot. I can hear Peter & Herc hotly debating over who's got the more irritating hanger-on, with Peter declaring, "I'll see your rust-bucket and raise you a slime-ball!")
(At the beginning of "The Spirit of Aunt Lois," after Slimer tackle-hugs Peter's left foot & lower leg a la a dog greeting his master home, thoroughly sliming both in the process, Peter hollers & dons proton pack to zap the spud, who's currently taunting him while hiding behind Janine)
Janine (standing on top of her desk): "Dr. Venkman, don't you *dare!* There's *nothing* in my job description about *target practice!*"
Egon (holding Peter back from firing): "Peter, this is irrational behavior!"
Peter (overtired & over-irritated): "No, Egon. Finding the refrigerator empty: *that's* irrational! Slime in my shoes: *that's* irrational! (Evil smile) This will be *fun!*"
(Of course, Slimer escapes & gets even by doing unspeakably slimy things to Peter's bed just when he heads upstairs to take a nap. His mega-enhanced holler stops everyone else dead in their tracks.)
Peter (howling like the damned): "SLIIIIIIIIIIIIMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY *BED?!*"
Love that music, I think a bit of it also got into the C.O.P.S. soundtrack later on. That makes me wonder: what would the Real Ghostbusters be up to in C.O.P.S.' future of 2020? After all, Empire City is based on New York City, the name change of which Peter could be endlessly griping about. I shudder to think of Dr. Badvibes getting his mad-scientist mitts on the Containment Unit!
Sounds like a totally awesome crossover to me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I'm glad you understand.
You're spot on about Herc and Peter, lol... Never drew that comparison before, but I can see it now. I think Peter would definitely win that bet, since Slimer can cause an uncomfortable physical mess upon contact in a way Oon never can. Herc should thank his lucky stars he never has to feel 'funky' like Pete has to on practically a daily basis.
OMG! That scene is freaking hilarious! One of my favorites! How could anyone forget the unusually long ungodly way Pete shrieked Slimer's name?
In another episode, I love the scene where Peter first blackmails Egon into talking by threatening to tell Slimer there's a treat in his socks, only to have Egon very cleverly turn it around by the end of the scene, having Slimer tackle Pete's socks looking for it instead, lol. I hate having wet socks or anything wet on me, and know I would hate that feeling of cold slimy wet clinginess. Can you imagine the number of times that poor Pete has to shower because of the spud? I guess one can understand the 'hate' part of the relationship a little considering that on an empathic level, even if Slimer could be a cute affectionate little slime ball at times, lol.
Fascinating! The music is really in the C.O.P.S. show as well? I'll have to listen closer there, as I've missed that one. 
There's an idea for your creative writer's brain to chew on, lol... Guardians/Lightning League and RGB/C.O.P.S. crossovers. Possibly an annoying sidekicks support group story as well for Pete and Herc to join and have a place to gripe about certain 'annoyances', lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're right, Herc would declare Peter the winner when he sees the poor guy get tackle-hugged by Slimer. I can just see Peter & Herc peeking through their respective portals leading to the SSS, griping to each other while they wait. Add Man-at-Arms & Panthro to the mix, and the four of them would have so much fun debating over who endures the most "annoyances," that the owner of the place would finally make a waiting room for them to shoot the breeze, LOL!
Peter & Egon had a sparring friendship that was fun to watch. I still laugh at Egon's line of "If you'd managed to get your glands active before high noon" in the game show ep, plus Peter's "Egon, you get the gold star for today" & "You did it, you mad scientist, you" in the first ep with his dad. I loved seeing relatives of the RGB pop up in the stories, either needing help, wanting to see that the boys had legitimate jobs, or usually both. Aunt Lois was great & I wish she would have appeared in more episodes, while Peter's dad was a hoot the first two times he popped up. (I think there was a third time, but never watched it.)
If RGB exist in C.O.P.S.' 2020, I like to think they succeeded in expanding their franchise. Egon & Janine & Slimer would remain in New York (Empire City), overseeing the Containment Unit while training new rookies (like in Ghostbusters: The Video Game & Extreme Ghostbusters). Graduates would be assigned to Peter (based in Los Angeles to sell his RGB movie/cartoon ideas; Highway probably ticketed him a lot, LOL), Winston (based either in New Orleans [very spooky] or Orlando [RGB theme park!]), or Ray (running international operations from his Aunt Lois' place, either with her permission or receiving it in her will; maybe his European base would be in the Scottish castle willed to him, while paying rent, of course). In addition, if Long Arm's dad was a young cop in the mid-1980s, he probably has tales to tell about the RGB, convincing the C.O.P.S. that these "urban legends" are real. Might be funny if Big Boss also remembers all the damage the RGB inflicted back then & drafts a court order to ban them from his businesses. Too bad nobody told Bad Vibes that Stay Puft likes the RGB, and when he's free from the Big Boss' control, ends up stomping to his skyscraper for a chat... and since the RGB is banned from his place, well...

Again, apologies for a belated reply. Life events have taken a good hold of me lately...
I think that no one else's 'annoyances' can compare to poor Pete's... He's got 'em all good and beat in that department, lol. I hate feeling slimy, gooey, or cold and wet, so I can probably relate with him deeply (as cute as the lil spud may sometimes be). I hate the feeling of wet socks... I can only imagine the feeling of cold, wet slime on my body and shudder. Ewww!
Pete and Egon had a great friendship, and it was always fun to watch those scenes between them. That's so great you mentioned The Devil to Pay. I was thinking of that episode lately, and it's one of my absolute favorites. Pete: "Every Morning?" Egon: "every morning, Peter." Ray & Winston (in the BG): "Pick the dinette, you moron! There's money under the plates! Dinette! Dinette! Dinette!" I also loved the Aunt Lois episode, and the way they were trying to exorcise the spirits from the house, especially Egon reciting calculations and Winston sounding like a tv preacher/James Brown combo, lol. And any episode with Pete's dad was pure gold (well, except that one near the end of the series where he took them to a temple in South America or something? The show suffered in quality toward it's inevitable demise... so sad...)
All very viable and interesting musings on what an RGB/COPS world would be like, especially the rookies in training, like on XGB. I know some didn't like the Extreme Team, but I did. The international HQ for the busters in Ray's castle in Scotland is perfect. I would love to see Big Boss panic while watching big boy Stay Puft coming down on his HQ, lol. Who's he gonna call then, hmmm?

No trouble at all, reply whenever you can. And just in case, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year to you!
I can see Herc, Panthro, & Man-at-Arms staring as Slimer tackle-hugs Peter to the floor in a big explosion of green sliminess, wearing deadpan expressions as they say, "You win." Oon, Snarf, & Orko would do a very bad job of holding their laughter in. Slimer happily declares "We Number One, YAY!" Thoroughly slimed, poor Peter would still try to aim his blaster at the spud, which is currently gunked up with slime: pop-pop, fizz-fizz!
Ahhh, the first two seasons of RGB, with Lorenzo Music as Peter & Arsenio Hall as Winston... good times, good times! I liked how they expanded on Winston, from making him a game show contestant ("I have sold my soul to the devil... I have sold my soul to a minor demon!") to playing with the good guys on a spirit-baseball team. I appreciated XGB because they continued the story & showed what the guys were up to in the 1990s. Afterwards, I figure Peter succeeded in Hollywood, which led to a RGB theme park competing with Disneyland. Winston opened a RGB franchise in New Orleans, guaranteed haunted enough to stay busy for decades. As for Ray, Aunt Lois' inheritance paid off his debts & allowed him to relocate to Scotland, where he established RGB International. The XGB became international Ghostbusters, kicking ectoplasmic tail all over the world while based in Ray's castle. Egon, Janine, & Slimer stayed in New York, later Empire City, to guard the Containment Unit while covering their area. As ghostly activity dropped off there & picked up elsewhere, keeping the others busy, many living in the city came to regard the RGB as an urban legend which spawned many great movies, cartoons, & a theme park.
This belief is shattered when Bad Vibes gets his mitts on the captured ghosts, figuring out a way to control them to commit crimes for the Big Boss. (Whitney Morgan will have a field day covering all this for the news.) Since Bad Vibes' attack lands Janine in the hospital, Egon calls his old teammates back to settle the score. The C.O.P.S. track them down to join forces, since nothing they have can capture those controlled ghosts. When Stay Puft breaks free, Slimer happily guides him to the Big Boss' skyscraper (since he knows Buzzbomb from their SSS meetings, ol' Buzz felt guilty & gave him the info). Big Boss is fuming over the usual feast of gluttony in his office when Stay Puft stomps his way, causing everything that's not nailed down to shake terribly. Scratch runs for his weaselly life, Squeaky lands on the floor in a dead faint, and Big Boss shouts for help as Stay Puft glares inside his office window with a humongous, malevolent eye. Berzerko, Turbo, & McBoomBoom pump every last bullet into Stay Puft as his enormous hand crashes through the window. He swats them while grabbing Big Boss, slamming them through the office doors to land inside the elevator. As the Big Boss is yanked outside, Slimer thoughtfully eats the feast he left behind, LOL.

Again, apologies, lol. However, I am glad you understand belated replies. I do hope you had a very happy holidays and welcomed the New Year in an awesome way. Also hope you got some cool gifts. I had a nice Christmas/New Years myself, and got a few nice gifts I really like.
I like it, lol. I could see the other guys throwing up their hands in defeat too, seeing as Pete has the slimiest, messiest sidekick to deal with. Poor Slimer, he would innocently see it as a positive win, lol, where Pete would definitely see it as a negative. Lucky thing for the spud that his thrower sputtered out.
I loved Night Game, one of my top picks from that show. It was nice to see Winston get some more story and screen time. He may not be as eccentric or quirky as the other three, but I like his good, honest, down to earth personality.
I like how you included the XGBs in this scenario. I personally liked the show, and that the OGBs were brought in on that very interesting two parter Back in the Saddle.
Loving this whole imaginative world you're describing. I envy how quickly you can come up with this stuff on the fly, lol... Pretty impressive. You really should consider writing this all as an interesting crossover fanfic. I would read it.
Oh, and since you like Sailor Moon as well, I was wondering if you've seen any of the new Sailor Moon Crystal? Talk about eye candy, lol.

Happy 2015! Yep, I got lots of presents which I have enjoyed, thanks much for asking!
We must sneak Voltron's Space Mice into the SSS. They'll make off with the food, which causes Slimer to chase them, which initiates mass chaos. Naturally, they all run into Peter just when he peeks inside. Not sure whether to have Pidge or Princess Allura come looking for the mice: the former can pull up a chair & swap tales, while the latter will be the target of much flirting by Peter, Herc, and all the adolescent boys present. (Maybe they visit separately at different times?)
I like how Winston was the default translator for the others, accepting everything ("Egon, I love it when you talk like that!") while inserting common sense ("Peter, you've got to have a little faith!"). In the manga graphic novel "Ghost Busted," Winston was the only one to escape ghost ambushes which took down the others; the attackers had their own versions of proton packs to capture living souls. The ghost assailants didn't consider him important. BAD mistake; he tracked them down & showed up not only with his proton pack, but also some machine guns & military ordinance in his trunk courtesy of his service in Vietnam ("This is New York, baby!"), which he used to successfully fight his way to the others. Winston is all sorts of win!
XGBs to me are a logical extension of the RGB story. It was great to see the next generation learn how to do things while figuring things out for themselves. I can definitely see them as an international team, fighting ghosts all across the globe, while also showing the ropes to the generation after theirs.
Thank you for your kind words re: crossover fanfic. I will definitely let you know when it's written so you can be the first to read it.
I love the Shitennou/Senshi pairings getting more airtime in Sailor Moon Crystal! "Yes!" "Come back!" "Yay, past memories!" "Remember, already!" "NOOOOOOOOO!" (When they were blasted by the Negaforce before the Senshi) "HOORAY!" (When their spirits appeared before TM/Endymion) I sure hope they're restored to life with their ladies for a happily ever after!

Glad to hear you had a good holidays and got lots of nice prezzies! Let's hope 2015 turns out to be mostly a good year for us both.
Of course, that would just be Pete's luck, wouldn't it? 
Yes, I agree. Winston is underestimated and under appreciated as a buster. It's cool to hear him vindicated so well in that manga story you shared. I soooo have to get a copy of that. I'll eye it for a possible purchase next month, since I already filled my allowance/quota of fun material items for this month.
I agree. As much as we all love the original GB's, in the natural progression of things there has to be a changing of the guard and passing of the legacy sometime. It makes sense. I was hoping for something like that in the new upcoming Ghostbusters movie, but it seems they have decided more on a reboot? With all female Busters? Unlike many online, it wasn't what I was expecting, but I don't hate the idea either. I just hope they do it well and add something positive to the franchise. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
You're so very welcome.
Oh yes! I recently got into SM Crystal and loved the new updated look and animation. Talk about some serious eye candy! I too loved the pairings, but it was sad to see the guys get wiped out. I hope they get restored as well. Why should Serena be the only one reunited with her love? I'd love for all the Sailors to get that happy ending as well.
Now it's getting into the Chibiusa story arc. Can't wait to see that, although I will miss the English version's final battle between the Scouts and the Sisters playing "She's Got the Power" by Stan Bush in the background. Made for a cool sequence in the English translation. Wish I had it recorded on tape since it's so hard to find, and Hulu free is showing the original show but only in subtitles... though it is nice to watch again in it's original Japanese.

The mice would save Allura, definitely. They guarded her growing up & would still do the honors. ^^ I can see Allura politely but firmly saying no to the thousand-or-so dating offers she'd get in the SSS. And I can see Oon gallantly escorting her to safety while Orko uses his magics to help - since he's not on Eternia in the SSS cafe, his powers would work just fine.
I'd like to see Winston and Bulletproof compare notes on the RGB/COPS case. Since Bulletproof worked for the FBI beforehand, maybe they even teamed up on cases in spooky New Orleans (or elsewhere in the haunted southern states), with Winston's experience in ghostbusting helping him determine whether he's investigating a tall tale or not a la the X-Files (someone had to disprove them after Mulder & Scully left).
Lots of reboots have turned profitable - Batman, Spider-Man, Star Trek - so maybe that was the rationale behind a Ghostbusters reboot. In recent Ghostbusters comics, a group that consisted of Janine, a guy, & two ladies (including one much like the girl in XGB) took over after the original team vanished. Maybe the reboot movie is based on that. Me, I'd love to see the surviving original actors make appearances in it, perhaps as professors of the paranormal they consult for info?
I actually have the dub soundtrack on CD. It has ten songs from the first season, including "She's Got the Power." If I ever see another copy, I'll let you know. I sure hope the Shittennou return in SMC. Too bad it wasn't Endymion who got that fatal hit; having all the Senshi except Moon get their guys in the end would've been interesting. ^^

Wow, again, my deepest apologies for a late reply. I'm not on DA much lately, and my memory only works on it's own terms these days, lol.
I could see the little guys (mice) help her rebuff all the unwelcome advances, and I could definitely see Oon and Orko chipping in. So, Orko's powers work great when not in sidekick mode on Eternia? I like it, lol. He may be bumbling on Eternia, but probably pretty capable and kick ass in a magical way in the SSS.
Winston as Bulletproof's Scully? Oh my, what a mental image, lol, but I agree with the pairing. Makes logical sense in the story you're working out. Gotta have the gritty streetwise law enforcer paired with the paranormal expert to really suss things out.
Very true. So many reboots these days, and some have met with great success. Hopefully the GB female one works. I also heard recently that they're also planning another male one, maybe to appease all the fans crying foul over the female one? I'm open enough to give them a chance, and hope they are done well, and are funny and entertaining. They'll never beat the original, but if they do well in their own right, I'll be a happy GB fan. And yes, cameos of the OGB's would be an awesome bonus if they decided to go that route, and would be something to really look forward to.
Oh yeah, I remember that soundtrack. My sister had it for years, and I just finally got my own copy about a year or so ago. I love that song too, done by Stan Bush, the same guy that did the song 'The Touch' for the Tranformers movie ost. I even remember the episode featuring that song as being one of my faves back then... The one where the sisters and Rubeus fight the scouts and Tuxedo Mask over Rini (ChibiUsa). I had it on an old VHS tape, recorded from TV, but someone accidentally recorded over it. Now all I can watch are weird sounding copies of it posted on YouTube.
Now that would've been an interesting twist... If the scouts all got their guys, and somehow Endymion was being held prisoner or in some magical coma or something where they would have to save him to return him to Usagi, maybe for about a season or two.
Oh, and speaking of Allura and Voltron, I just started watching the original Go Lion on Crunchyroll. Very interesting to see it in it's original, unedited, Japanese language version.

Perfectly all right, hope's life treating you well.
If I remember the original cartoon correctly, Orko's powers went haywire on Eternia, but were restored to normal in his home dimension. I took that a step further & said his powers work fine in the SSS, since its pocket dimension is a) magical, and b) not in Eternia/Etheria.
LOL, I can see Bulletproof drawling "I don't believe this" to the horror-of-the-moment, and Winston replying "Me either, man, but it's here anyway!"
Speaking of RGB, I'd love it if the guys have to answer charges in Night Court sometime. I can just see Harry being amazed at Slimer phasing through everything (starting with Dan's briefcase, which totally ruins his "toys" hidden within), Bull going ga-ga over the spud ("I want one!" Selma/Florence/Roz: "Only if you get a leash for it!"), and Dan being all grossed out ("I say we drop the charges if the slimeball leaves, like YESTERDAY!"). Naturally, Slimer drenches Dan in his green slime hug, because Dan's way too much like Peter ("Finally, a break! Can we come here every night?" "NO!") Maybe also have Stay Puft peek through the window with a smile ("Sorry, Your Honor, the mess was my fault!" "Ahhh... okay, case dismissed!")
The Flash reboot's gone very well, so who knows, maybe the GB reboots will too. Speaking of movies, think the new Star Wars one will be good?
Cool beans, I have the original Transformers movie soundtrack on DVD, have to re-listen to all of Stan Bush's stuff on it.
Senshi/Shittenou Forever! I say it's their turn to have fun.

Hi again.
Wish I could honestly say life was treating me well, but it's been a little crazy, lol, though starting to pick up and get a little better. That, and I haven't been inspired/motivated to do art for a while, and so forget my poor DA account during periods like this.
I forgot about that detail concerning Orko's powers. Time to reacquaint myself with the show, it's been a while since I've seen it. You're reasoning for the powers working in the SSS sounds legit to me. Besides, with all the embarrassment and flack Orko receives on a daily basis for his powers going astray on Eternia, poor guy deserves a break in the SSS.
You have BP and Winston well pegged, lol. Sounds like 'em alright.
My god, I had almost forgotten about that show, lmao. If my poor memory serves me correctly, didn't Harry have an obsession with the singer, Mel Torme? I'd catch episodes late at night at one point years ago, and all you describe sounds on point. I could definitely see Dan being a good stand in for Peter, and having the same disdain for the slimy spud, lol. The scenario you described would make for a very interesting cross over story.
Oh, the GB reboot definitely looks more interesting now that I've seen some behind the scenes pictures of it. I am pretty open minded and willing to give it a shot, provided it has a good funny script and good acting. I will wait a week or so to listen to objective feedback and reviews first before I decide. I just don't understand the unfounded hate and outrage poured out toward it, or the accusations that it will 'ruin' the franchise or people's childhoods, lol. Someone I know said that if they don't like the reboot, they can choose to ignore it, and there will always be the original movie and the series to go back to, which are classics and will always live on. If the reboot does badly, it will be discarded and forgotten (ignored) in time.
The new Star Wars trailer looks fantastic! When I saw it before a movie a few months ago, I heard audible nerdgasms from the people around me in the theatre, lol. Hope it's as good as it looks. I will say, I have checked out Star Wars Rebels on DXD, and it's a good show. Have you seen that yet?
Hear Hear! 
Oh, and have you seen the new Jem/Holograms comic book out now? Don't know if you were into that show, but I was a big fan as a kid, and had to check it out. I have read a few issues so far, and really like the new take on the concept, as well as the lovely art style.

Greetings & salutations! Glad to hear you're doing fine
I'd love to see Orko sneak into other universes using the SSS portals, perhaps to say hi to his fellow sidekicks. Imagine him hanging around the RGB's containment unit (RED ALERT!), fighting Mumm-Ra head-on with magic (the evil mummy, naturally, wants to drain his powers), or swapping spells with Gillian on-board the Pride of the Skies II in time for some catastrophe to take place (while Herc mutters, "Magic. Why'd it have to be magic?"). The sidekicks visiting other universes can lead to crossovers galore; I can just see Oon running from Dr. Badvibes only to promptly collide with Hardtop & Sundown, who sound just like Jayce & Herc.
Sounds like BP will get some relief when the X-Files return in 2016 (HOORAY!), but I imagine he's still Winston's contact in the FBI & vice versa re: RGB, leading to their team-up in Empire City in 2020. I can see Winston get along fine with Scully, since they both have common sense, while he refers Mulder to Egon & Ray for metaphysical technobabble. As for Peter, it'd be funny to see him spar with Frohike over Scully. (EG) In the X-Files: Conspiracy graphic novel, the Lone Gunmen investigate four conspiracies for clues to prevent viral armageddon - OGB/RGB, Transformers, TMNT, and the Crow - and all four crossovers are incorporated into the spookiness of the X-Files universe.
Yes, Judge Stone was Mel Torme's biggest fictional fan. In real life, both men were good friends, and the actor gave the eulogy at the singer's funeral. As long as he could get away with it, Peter could visit the courthouse with Slimer to pawn him off on Dan, naturally without the prosecutor's approval. Can we say "World's Fastest Restraining Order?"
I hear Dan Ackroyd's playing a cameo as a cab driver in the all-female Ghostbusters movie. Would have preferred him being an OGB consultant, but hey, he's there! Did you read the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters graphic novel? It nails the characters from both series. And in the comics right now, there's "Ghostbusters Get Real," which crosses over the RGB with the movie OGB but GOOD!
Yes, I've enjoyed the Star Wars trailers.
It can never be said too much: Senshi/Shittenou forever!
I've been enjoying the Jem comic. My favorite part's seeing the Kimber/Stormer relationship develop in real time (so awesome!). It's nice to see it out in the open after being hinted at in the 80s cartoon & be more blatant in fanart. I love the painted covers & Jerrica fighting her stage fright by taking on a new persona, which explains things nicely; wonder if Rio will figure it out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hello again. I'm back on DA, and remembered to check messages, lol. Nice to hear from you again.
I love the idea of Oon running into the COPS done with the WW character voices, lol. Would probably be confusing to Oon, especially blindfolded. The sidekicks crossing over into the other universes would definitely be fun and entertaining.
Sounds right on target with who would pair well with each other with the Xfiles/RGB characters. Mulder might have a field day checking Slimer out too, until he gets slapped with slime all over, lol. That graphic novel sounds way interesting and cool. I love good crossover ideas.
Oh, Dan would definitely hate having the spud around, lol, and would absolutely loathe Peter for doing that to him. I would imagine the busters might get dragged into a court case or two also, easily facilitating their meet up and interaction with the NC crew.
Oh man, I seriously need to check out the comics stands more than I do, especially these days. Those comics you mentioned sound amazing! I am definitely loving the Jem comic though, and am following it closely. I'm also digging watching the Kimber/Stormer relationship blossom, it is actually very cute. I agree, I like Jerrica's shyness and stage fright, giving her a good plausible reason to hide behind the Jem persona. I also like Rio's persona in the comics better than in the series, and after reading his bio in an issue recently, it seems their hinting at him figuring things out on his own? I would love to see that happen here, since it never manifested in the series. They also have the movie coming out soon. I saw the preview, and it looks semi interesting, but I am a bit reserved about it. I don't like some of the changes I saw, but am probably curious enough to rent it later if not see it in the theaters.
The all fem GBs however, on the other hand, I think I will see in the theatre. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far with the release of photos on set, and it doesn't hurt that they brought Chris Hemsworth into it either. Cool to hear Dan/Stantz will be in it as well. The new Star Wars is a definite must see, of course.
I agree, Senshi/Shittenou forever!
I went on YouTube a few nights ago and watched a ton of old cartoon openings, triggering a serious nostalgia trip. The shows we have discussed, and many more that I remember, and even some I forgot but saw a link to and said, 'man, I remember that show now', lol. Sectaurs, Visionaries, Kidd Video, Captain N, Legend of Zelda, Mighty Orbots, Galaxy Rangers, Robotech, and so many more. Ahhh, fond memories.

Thanks much for writing back, glad you're doing well & Happy Upcoming Halloween!
Poor Oon, he's totally kawaii when he's totally confused ^^ We'll have to get Orko to pop in long enough to take him back to his own time! Hardtop (blinks in confusion as he glances around): "You see them disappear?" Sundown (drawls): "Nope, an' neither did you!"
I can see Mulder going ga-ga over being slimed, AKA his own version of Ray's "This is great! Actual physical contact!" Or evidence, in Mulder's case, as he bugs Scully to take multiple slime samples until she finally does so with rolling eyes, humoring him. Scully (scientifically): "Special effects, Mulder." Mulder (excitedly): "Real live GHOSTS, Scully! Never mind the dry-cleaning bill...!"
I can actually see Dan Fielding (NC's slimeball du jour) actually marketing Slimer's glow-in-the-dark slime as... *ahem*... a new brand of adult lubricant. He'd do his best to drain the poor spud dry! And then he'd face down the Real Ghostbusters for failing to include them in his patents/copyrights/profits off said slime.
Kimber/Stormer forever! 
Wish Visionaries lasted longer!

Hi. I know I haven't replied in a long time, almost a year it seems, but I haven't been going through the best year. It's been a rollercoaster of severe ups and downs for me, with barely much inspiration/motivation for art until very recently. However, I do continue to struggle to get better. I wouldn't unload all my difficulties/woes on anyone though, as I've never felt comfortable doing so, fear being judged or shunned, and would never want to overload anyone with any of it either. I offer my deepest apologies. I don't want you to think I brushed you off in any way, and hope I didn't offend/hurt you. If you do decide to reply and continue communication, that'll be nice. If you don't wish to reply, I'll understand, believe me. If you do reply, I'll give my thoughts on the details of your last reply and take it from there?
in any case, I wish you the best. Take care.
