this mornin' i did find myself a little bit scared...
the images on the televisual device in the corner of the room were so horrific, that it is gonna take me a distinctly quantifiable amount of time to get over it...
it didn't happen yet...
and what could be this terrible sight i hear you ask...?! what could it be that has so shaken the bwoi to his core... what hellishness has been let loose upon the world? (and so on, and so forth...)

| feel the fear thomas... or squeeze one out, its up to you... |
its the new thomas-the-tank-people, from what ever incarnation of the show is currently airing via the digital telebox... i have no idea, they may have moved to an island... but its all a bit confusing, and the sheer terror those people wrought unto my heart may actually have caused me to block out some of the details...
in particular it was a still shot... the people were having a party, but there was something quite freakish and horrible about their frozen faces that disturbed me...
and bizarrely, try as i might i cannot find a picture of these freakish abominations online... a coincidence? i think not...
so therefore i shall endeavour to explain (or stick in a jpeg and do a half-assed abstract job)...
as long as the robots can agree a quick timetable to destroy the mawkish inhabitants of their freaky lil' island, then i'm happy...

| the suave (non too sinister) fat controller |
they had the same brown/black shading outline style as our man the fat controller... but less so, as they were only minor characters used in a still frame, leaving them with a grim rictus manga face... bad times
that's about as close as i can get it (they were damn freaky!!)
it was a cut-scene godamnit, and its stuck with me... more disturbing than 'mother' in braindead, but probably not as bad as the custard... (eeeeeeeew)
but it got me to thinkin'... if we could get michael bay to guest direct an episode, and then blast thomas with the all-spark (although this may make the plot a bit complex, but who are we to argue with progress), rendering him a blue-badass capable of taking down the freakish abominations that haunt his island...
 |
| mechanised blue-badass |
its gotta be a bay transformer though, where (as demonstrated in the transformers dvd extras) all of the parts have been neatly designed via scaled blue-print so there is none of the size-shifting that happened in the original cartoon...
 |
| alterno (less badass) mode thomas |
its not really the size-shifting i was worried about, i thought that if thomas did block transformations like the old school toys, given his shape... he was gonna be sh!t (and you also face the distinct possibility that if transforming him involved revealing a head. there was gonna be a big gormless thomas face somewhere upon the exterior!)
and then, i discovered transformer tomas...
its like a knock off combiner transformer based on... you guessed it! our man t...
 |
| transformer tomas... (but why isn't he in the middle) |
but thomas isn't in the middle?! what's with that...?!
this super robot is made up of three separate engines, who do some clicky disassemble weirdness to become the behemoth you see before you... (maybe we don't need michael bay after all)
as an added bonus, all three engines can join up to make a super train and tow each other along whilst in engine mode... far out

| the 3man train centipede... |
otherwise we gonna have to send arnie in...
and he's never neat... 8)
