I mean…I’m happy they still kept the original formula. But with the OG larger bottles, you got twice as much more Aloe Vera juice ,for the same price👍
So as we all know, the reason the OG model series was cancelled as it would be way too expensive to produce today, especially the scale of both the gauge 1 models and the set designs, not to mention the maintenance during the aftermath of filming a crash scene. But what if instead of Gauge 1, the producers would instead switch to the smaller Bachmann OO and n scale for the standard gauge, narrow gauge engines, and road vehicles, but with modified or 3d printed resin bodyshells to match their gauge 1 counterparts. Plus with the smaller scale, they wouldn’t have to rely on the larger sets from the original series, but instead , they could scale them down as to not take up too much space in the studio. And instead of developing a smaller eye mechanism, the designers would instead use digital effects on the characters eyes to have them move around, and for the crash scenes, they would have stunt double models prepared as to avoid having to repair the models. And whenever they decide to introduce a new character, they wouldn’t need to produce a new tooling, instead they would just take a chassis meant for the basis of said character and slap on a 3d printed body shell for them, add a lil paint along with a sculpted face, and BOOM, a new character ready to be introduced for a new episode.
But that’s just a thought, anyways…what do you guys think about this What If? Producers utilizing bachmann instead of Gauge 1?
But when I saw this episode for the first time as a teen, I could have sworn it ended with Mordecai and Rigby choosing the state of the art clipboard as a way to apologize to Benson for dragging him along and almost getting him killed. It then cuts to the next day with benson about to give everyone their jobs for the day while using his new clipboard , only for the built in digital clock and calculator to stop working. Which annoys Benson as he and the duo agree that they should have chosen space camp.
Season 4, Episode 20
Plot : After Penelope rejects Junior’s offer to be his summer girlfriend ( as she’s still upset that he lied to her during the dance, and finding out the reason he dated Annabelle in the first place was to make her jealous), he spends the first week of summer break moping on the couch. That is until Cody comes in and shows off his new IPhone powered robot which was his final assignment for science class, and ironically enough, looks a lot like Penelope. This gives Junior an idea where if the real Penelope won’t take him back, then he’ll settle on a robot clone of her, and asks Cody to reprogram PeneloBOT to love Junior and only him. Cody warns him that reprogramming her might have consequences, but Junior tells him to do it anyways. At first Junior is happy with his new robot girlfriend, until she starts to grow hostile whenever another girl approaches Junior, and things only turn sour when the real Penelope finds out and heads over to Juniors place to give him a piece of her mind for replacing her with a robot replica ( which she finds creepy). That is until PeneloBOT enters full on JEALOUSY mode and attacks the “imposter”, and now it’s up to Junior to save his ex.
The film adaption has a bit of a continuity error, during the first half, Mordecai reveals to the gang that he and Rigby got expelled during their senior year after they tried to help Mr. Ross build a Time Machine , resulting in the science lab getting destroyed. But yet in the episode “More Smarter” , Mordecai’s shown with a High school diploma , and also reveals that Rigby dropped out of High school.
Sidenote : This is not, I repeat NOT body shaming, this is just friendly rivalry teasing between two brothers, I do not condone to such shaming, I fully respect all body types.
P.S yes I know I forgot to draw Bandits beard in the last three panels😅
Those would have come in handy with the various antagonists and monsters they came across throughout the show.
