Robotech in live action…_begins jonesing uncontrolably_…oh yes, that needs to happen. As far as the OP, yeah, I think it’ll be pretty cool. And since kids probably aren’t going to jump on the bandwagon for a recycled fad they should cater it to us shamlessly immature adults who remember the good TMNT days. If they do what they say, and stick to the edgier, darker comicbook-like roots of the characters it should sell well. Aside: Does anyone else think that **Digital Rim** is innuendo for something entirely different? ---

[GI Joe voice] Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. [/GI Joe voice] Of course, Transformers and Voltron were tied for my favorites but a cool TMNT will kick anyways. Maybe they can bring back Vanilla Ice. To close with, I shall recite my favorite Snake Eyes quote: (Be careful, it’s a long one) (Told ya it was long) ---

Where could we get enough genuine babe-age to play Princess Allura? What woman could fill **her** white go-go boots? ---

Wolverine: Boy, I wish I could use that “Snake Eyes quote” as my sig. But I think the mods would be upset. ---
