Avatar Contest for Feb 8, '06

[west3man]

I wanted to give a nod to Black History Month some kinda way*, but I kept thinking, "How're we supposed to choose the 'best' character... by which one was the BLACKEST?" So, no-go, there.

Howsabout vehicles in comics, cartoon, movies, sci-fi, fantasy stories? ...or has that been done to-death?




* - although the predictability bothered me a bit

[GremlinClr]

Dibs on the Millenium Falcon. I'll make something when I get to work.

[ocelotrevs]

The Havoc/Vemon gunships from G- Police.

[Dizzy D]

I could have just picked the Halo car that was in my avatar, but that would be boring. So I'm in with KITT, might even animate it to include the Hoff as well.

edit: OH MY GOD, my eyes! Tip: never do a google-search on David Hasselhoff. I will never look at puppies in the same way again. Non-animated for this contest.

[west3man]

I think I'll go with Turbo Teen, the boy who transformed into a sports car.

[ocelotrevs]

I can't find a Havoc or Venom Gunship (not one I wanna use anyway).
I think I'll change to MegaZord from the original MMPR series.

[Typo Lad]

I've always wanted a Voltron Lion. Especially Black Lion, that was the coolest.

[Lubichev]

My Mystery Machine Model Makes Me Merry.

[Tadhg Adams]

Batman didn't always have the coolest ride.

[west3man]

MAN, I'm wishing we could choose more than one, right about now.

[Phoney Bone]

http://img173.exs.cx/img173/4681/buckaroo3vm.jpg

Dibs on the Banzai Institute Jet Car.

[PatrickG]

"One shall stand and one shall fall!"

Optimus Prime.

[dougputhoff]

Since this weekend marks the 6th anniversary of Charles Schulz' death, I'm going with Snoopy's "Sopwith Camel" from Peanuts.

Shrink, please.

I had the Millenium Falcon ship as a kid and it was my favorite toy and will always have a place in my geek heart.

[Greg Hatcher]

I'm in with Hasselhoff's OTHER ride... the SHIELD Helicarrier.

http://www.shaftagents.com/helicarrier.jpg

[mattbib]

The X-Men's modified SR-71 Blackbird...

[Dreadstar]

Normally, I'm pretty good at this, but after an HOUR of searching the best Space Cabbie image I could come up with was this? Crap.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/Aliaswit/4971_4_055.jpg

[StoneGold]

I'll see your Helicarrier and raise you a bootleg Spider-Man action figure in turbo helicopter toy.

http://i.somethingawful.com/news/2004/08/2-spidermanbox_big.jpg


But only because I couldn't find a picture of bootleg Spidey riding on the robot dinosaur, and I don't feel like blowing the gas to go to Chinatown.

You didn't try very hard then...

http://www.collectortimes.com/2003_11/cabbie1.jpg

[Dreadstar]

You didn't try very hard then...

No, I found that one. But I thought it might be proprietary art, adn I didn't want to use it without permission.

Thanks anyway.

[Chiasm]

The Powerpuff girls stock car. (hard to see though because I had to shrink it so much)

[Mike Smith]

The kinda invisible jet.

[Donald M.]

No, I found that one. But I thought it might be proprietary art, adn I didn't want to use it without permission.

Thanks anyway.

Here's a couple more, though you might already have passed on these as well:

[Dreadstar]

Thanks, Donald M.

Indeed, and thanks to Greg Hatcher who pointed out the it was spelled "cabby."

Still not quite the atom age image I had in mind, but much, much better.

[Donald M.]

I'm in with the Spider-Mobile.

http://www.spidervillain.com/Equipment/SpiderMobile/SpiderMobileASM130.gif

[Spackling Compound]

I'm using the Ambiguously Gay Duo car.
And last week I used a guy showing major package in a Green Lantern suit.

I need help...

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/01/pics/01jfunhouse3.jpg

[borateen]

I'm having some Photoshop problems right now, but I'm calling dibs on Serenity.

[Michael P]

Dibs on the DeLorean.

[Valmore]

I'm in with one of the Hallmark's of Final Fantasy - the airship!

Here, Edgar pilots The Falcon in Final Fantasy III (or Final Fantasy VI in Japan).

[thehod]

I'm going for the one thing a super powered Kryptonian, who can fly faster than a speeding bullet and is more powerful than a locomotive needs.

A rocket ship with punching hands.... The Supermobile!

[west3man]

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to jump on that one.

I've never seen DD's yellow costume look cool before. That plus the irony of DD driving (presumably with Dr. Mid-nite riding shotgun) makes this a front-runner, for me.

[Donald M.]

I'm pretty sure that rendition of DD's yellow costume comes straight from Frank Miller's The Man Without Fear miniseries. I take it you never read it?

[west3man]

Correct.

I must say, though, the cane makes him look like he's joined a Black fraternity.

[Cei-U!]

Even as a kid, I'd have felt like a geek driving around in the Batmobile but the Black Beauty was *cool*.

Cei-U!
I summon "Flight of the Bumblebee"!

I'm not sure which Bat-mobile was around when you were a kid, but "mine" was from the reruns.

Black with red-outline, baby.


I'd include a pic, but someone might think I'm claiming that particular Bat-model.

I'm entering with everybody's favorite robot-friendly movie theater, Mystery Science Theater's Sattelite of Love.

Picture will be forthcoming. Gotta run to class first.

[Huh?]

Here's my choice:

[Slam_Bradley]

Damn. I didn't see this Glanzman piece. I'll stick with Hembeck though.

http://www.proudrobot.com/hembeck/glanzman-hauntedtank.jpg

[Huh?]

Strangely enough, the car seems to change from a 2-seater to a 4-seater, and the steering wheel appears on both the right and left sides in a bunch of pictures. Curious, I will have to give some thought as to which one to use for my av.

Check. I'm really asking.

I think it's the same thing, but I don't remember seeing "Police" on hers. Coulda been an angle thing or something. I dunno.

You don't recognize the TARDIS? Just what the hell kind of nerd are you?

I've never seen a full episode and barely remember much of what I have seen.

If I didn't know better, judging by those poses, I'd say there's something sexual about Rocket Racer's intentions with our friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man.

It's a somewhat familiar design.

Those suckers must pop up every 10-15 years or something. I'm SURE there was one in Byrne's BATMAN/CAPTAIN AMERICA one-shot. I'm not sure where else.

[Michael P]

You're thinking of the Warwheel, which in a Nazi-fightin' context has some history. This, though, was just some yutz with a bad gimmick.

[borateen]

How exactly did that guy get away in that thing?

He didn't so much get away as run off the side of a pier and, I assume, die.

[west3man]

I just mean the design keeps popping up. Whether it's based on existing concepts or fermented fruit juice is good to know, but *shrugs*

It's just funny to me that people keep coming up with new ways to roll down a hill in a tire.

I don't think adding lasers counts as a "new way," but I get your point.

[west3man]

I still say that cover either qualifies as homoerotic or supports the notion that not all female-character crotch thrusts and crotch shots are due to artists thinking of women as pieces of meat.

But, that's a topic for another thread, I guess.

Man, Rocket Racer can't help it. He's a brotha.

Plus I would assume the motion sickness would suck. Hell, what about going to a neighborhood with dogs that hate moving vehicles, man he would be wide open for that as well.

[west3man]

So you're of the school that thinks strangulation and punches to the face are foreplay?
I'm of the school that sees a similarity between that cover and the bondage and submission type covers of yesteryear and this year.

Excuse me? What EXACTLY are you trying to say about understated straight-arrow, Barry Allen?!

[Donald M.]

The kind who was turned the hell off by Doctor Who, I'm afraid.

I've never seen a full episode and barely remember much of what I have seen.

I guess I can't blame you there. The show does have its charms though. I've recently been revisiting some of the Tom Baker Who episodes on DVD, stuff I haven't seen since I was five or six years old, and am surprised how well some of it holds up despite the crap production values.

Now THAT'S something I just *love* about old products of entertainment. Low budget and low tech, but it holds up well over time?

High praise.

I never did like the way he looked at Hal...

[Donald M.]

I think it holds up well, but I also had childhood experience with the show that I'm guessing you didn't. I think it holds up, some of it, but I can understand if others disagree.

[west3man]

I think it holds up well, but I also had childhood experience with the show that I'm guessing you didn't.
Ahh. I get you.
Still, that's high praise. Probably one of the coolest things one can say about a show.

Damn you all. How dare you... umm... present new opportunities for casual enjoyment of serial fiction?!

[Donald M.]

Ahh. I get you.

Damn you all. How dare you... umm... present new opportunities for casual enjoyment of serial fiction?!

You know, that seems to be the core problem with a lot of fans these days, the inability to casually enjoy anything.

I like discussing shows, books, and other things I like on the internet, but I'll never understand the obsessive need of some people to pore over every aspect. In the end it's just a damn tv show (or book or whatever). A lot of these obsessive fans don't even seem like they're enjoying themselves that much, which makes you wonder what the point is.

[Tadhg Adams]

Genesis of the Daleks will be coming out on DVD soon!

[Donald M.]

Genesis of the Daleks will be coming out on DVD soon!

Cool!

Why can't they just release them in order though?

Not that it really matters as most of the Who serials are self-contained and it isn't really necessary to watch them in order, but it would be nice to have the option to do so.

And I still haven't gotten around to seeing the story I for some reason remember most vividly from my childhood, The Robots of Death. Baker himself, the TARDIS and that damn Elvis-looking robot are the only things I seem to remember with any clarity from my childhood viewing of the series.

[Tadhg Adams]

Cool!

Not that it really matters as most of the Who serials are self-contained and it isn't really necessary to watch them in order, but it would be nice to have the option to do so.

Mostly because they're trying to get a variety out and can only release a certain number of discs a year. But in the end, BBC has committed to putting every story on DVD, so eventually!

Not every story, you can't put on DVD what doesn't exist. Luckily I'm only really interested in the Tom Baker stuff, though I have been enjoying the new series.

Dum Dum didn't have his moustache and wasn't called Dum Dum. That aside, the movie is a surprisingly faithful riff on Steranko-era SHIELD stories. Be warned though: you have to wade through buttloads of bad acting to get to the cool stuff.

Another instance of it kinda being used as a vehicle can be found in this toon (http://homestarrunner.com/floatparade.html)

[MacQuarrie]

Put me down for Cei-U and the Black Beauty, the first car I ever fell in love with. I mean, the Batmobile was cool, but not as cool as the Green Hornet and Kato roaring through that secret door in the billboard.

[Mike Smash!]

StarsandGarters and the Sattelite of Love.

[Slam_Bradley]

Tadgh/Trix and the Jokermobile.

[Greg Hatcher]

It was a close call for me, but you know, what I really loved about the Hornet's ride was where he had it GARAGED. I think the way the car used to come up from under the floor and flip around and then they'd drive it out through the secret billboard exit was the coolest thing ever. My ultimate geek dream would be to be able to own and drive around in the 1966 Batmobile, and keep it in the Green Hornet's secret garage.

[Ultraman Max]

west3man and Turbo Teen. Man was that a goofy show.

[Night]

MacQuarrie for having the most disturbing vehicle of the week.

What are you TALKING about?! That show was COMPLETELY realistic!

*looks around*


The great thing is that I was at JUST the right age for it to be cool as hell. I'm a true child of the '80's, as I LIVED for transformation sequences. The entire show I was waiting on him to change... same with Voltron, Tranzor-Z, the Transformers, the Mighty Orbots, etc.

LOL that was the same reason I watched alot of those, including Turbo Teen. Tranzor Z was probably my favorite at the time.

Tell the truth... It was really because of Aphrodite A, right? ;)

[Matt]

I'm in with the Tardis.

I am sending much hate in your general direction.

[Matt]

The kind who was turned the hell off by Doctor Who, I'm afraid.

I've never seen a full episode and barely remember much of what I have seen.

... and even more hate in your direction! What sort of person doesn't like Dr Who?! Sheesh...

[dougputhoff]

Since it's past midnight on the Left Coast now, I'm calling it.

Congrats, K'Nort.

Now please hurry up and pick the next topic.

[howyadoin]

That was my first time seeing a still from the movie (although I may've seen a cyclopean Hasselhoff shot, once or twice). Part of me kinda dug it.That was the first movie I had the misfortune to witness the filming of.

(Pardon my mangled grammar.)

Why I don't even know what who you're refering to there......

.......... okay, so you got me. ;)


It's hard the top the impression that robotic breast missiles make on a fragile little mind. :D

[Lex]

... and even more hate in your direction! What sort of person doesn't like Dr Who?! Sheesh...Some people just aren't fans of certain things, even if a whole bunch of people really like it. I've never been that interested in Star Wars, to my friends' eternal shame.
