To weigh in on the new Toon discussion:
I most certainly don't want it to fail (like some people in other threads have stated), but I'm also not afraid to say that I really don't like the direction they're taking with a lot of things.
Specificaly:
1) animation style - yes, its the "in" design now to have everything anime or anime immitation, but ENOUGH! What ever happened to semi-realistic-looking cartoons???
2) Ripcord's continued race change - really? would it really confuse kids that much to have him white? (pet peeve) Ironically, a latino Lady Jaye isn't bugging me just yet. Most likely it will.
3) Gender changes for any character no matter how minor. If you want more girls, invent more girls. Very simple. They added Icestorm, Shadow Tracker, Sandstorm, Air Raid, Night Adder, and others in/since the movie line. If they want more girls they can create them too, but they don't, so don't go changing existing characters because your too lazy to think up a new name.
4) The team being split up with Hawk against them, and Duke/Flint being rivals. This just annoys me, it could acutally work, but knowing how this sort of thing is usually done in kids toons, its going to be REALLY annoying.
5) Tunnel Rat as the medic. WTF!?!?!?!?! The guy who crawls around in sewers holding the bandages? Who thought THAT was a good idea? let alone sanitary? Where's Doc? Stretcher? Sideswipe? Med Alert? Lifeline? ILLOGICAL
6) SE, I really hope your kidding about Timber being a girl. You are right?
7) Bio. Vipers. Nuff. Said.
8) the near certainty that joe will now look like Clone Wars figures. (On the bright side, I save money)
9) the increased difficulty getting classic characters because of - unmatched toy design, race/gender/code name/other illogical changes
I'm happy to see a joe toon back on the air, but it could have been SO much better executed.
