Morthrax in season 1, Morthrey in season 2 (and I spelled them phonetically; I don't know the official spellings)

*WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!?!?!*

MARTHAAAAAAAA!!

Martia, Martia, Martia!

Mor-taxian actually or Motheren, I forget.

They're from Maritius?

AK AK AKAKAK

He's a MARTIAN!

No changes with me. To life immortal.

A French version named Eht Reht. Oh wait...

The most dangerous words in the english language: "I have money..."...

Zombie version, Hot Rot.

A chef version named Hot Pot.

Does that hold true for the accent of any British Allsparkers here?

I was reading some GoBots + Transformers discussion on Twitter and saw a British user point out that "BuggyMan" can sound like "boogeyman".

@Sabrblade Part of me wishes I had purchased the coffee cup with that comic when it was for sale.  The rest of me knows I didn't have the money for it. XD

That's the Superdeformers version. He uses the MacGuffix to warm up his coffee.

A bodybuilder version named Hot Bod.

A psychedelic-colored repaint named Pot Rod

Runner-up dumb idea: A Bizarro-like clone of Hot Rod named Not Rod.

One of the dumbest TF ideas I ever had: Hot Rod (by whatever means) produces a son, who is named "Go-Cart".

In its current form, DS9 is eventually going to fade from the public consciousness. Even on modern top-of-the-line displays, those old SD masters look like trash, and there's only so long younger generations will be able to stomach them. I can only imagine how they'll look when everyone has ultra-short throw projectors casting 120" images on their walls

It's definitely offputting, but Trek is one property I'd be willing to hold my nose and open my wallet for. I care far more about DS9 being available in the long-term, and for future generations, than my distaste for corporate greed

'Pay up now and fund this remaster we'll be able to profit from for decades, as this will be your only chance to get that show you like on BluRay... Until the superdeluxe re-release with even more stuff and a metal box.'

Stuff they're intending to remaster anyway for their streaming service would become crowdfunding projects.

I love DS9, but there is something offputting about giving money direct to Viacom for a project like this, probably because it would set a bad precedent. Given how moneygrubbing they are, it would quickly become their go-to solution for any old show they want remastered rather than dipping their hands in their own deep pockets.

A crowdfunding probably wouldn't be that outrageous. The DS9 Documentary "What We Left Behind" that was recently released on blu-ray managed to raise nearly $650,000 on IndieGoGo. Imagine how much fans might contribute if it were guaranteed the remaster would happen provided the goal was reached.

Let me call on my friend Dr Rockso, the Rock 'n Roll Clown. (He does cocaine.)

New crowdfunding project: We need to get enough nose candy for the Paramount execs to keep 'em up long enough to get DS9 squeezed out

They're hideously cheap. I'm just glad some decision maker in the upper echelons stayed high as a kite for long enough for us to get TOS, TNG and TAS on blu-ray

Paramount are kinda cheap and Ds9 isn't popular enough for them to go all out on a remaster.

Or hell, they could just shorten a season of Discovery by 2-3 episodes and that'd pay for the DS9 remaster in full (assuming the 8 to 8.5 million per episode for Discovery that was reported a while back is accurate)

Redoing some of the more simple effects like phasers and transporters and whatnot (basically what they've already had practice doing for TNG)

They could scan and rebuild the film elements, and then upscale the original CGI only (provided it still exists as separate footage)

Basically its in the same situation as DS9 IIRC with loss of models and how the CGI was applied to the existing footage.

Not gonna happen unless they recreate all the CGI from scratch, unfortunately. Or just upscale the broadcast masters, which would be basically pointless.

Babylon 5 must come to Blu Ray.

Even in the winter, he has to clear the roads of snow.

His work is never done.

Everyone quickly gets sick of flubbing the name and collectively agree to just call the combiner "Roadworks"

For some reason, I've always wanted to see a "Menastator", all five Stunticons and all six Constructicons in an 11-piece combiner.

Dunno what we'd call a Megatron combiner, we almost got a Megastator in IDW but nothing in Combiner Wars.

somehow read that as "Megachronic." wonder if Decepticons get the munchies...

Skywarp can barely form a coherent sentence half the time.

If Cyclonus combines into Galvatronus, does Skywarp form Megatronic?

There's something weird about starting to type Good Omens into a media store's search bar and having it come up with Queen's greatest hits compliations.

Well then they need to re-release Vector Prime. Of course I would accept Vector Prime Headmaster with Alpha Trion as the head.

That said, the bendy sword is ridiculous.

I dunno, the old one is still pretty good by modern standards and the clunkiness is somewhat in-character.

We need a new vector prime
