940. The sharp Sym-Bionic Titan 13-16!

OK, how do we get a petition to get this show finished?  If Family Guy can be revived, why not a far superior show?

Octus vs Mutraddi swamp monster

Octus is the most powerful of Team Titan.  His abilities are so vast and vague as to make him near omnipotent.

933. The superb Sym-Bionic Titan 09-12 review!

I am really happy with this episode.  Great show, we get a lot of backstory, and more character development.

919. The shiny Sym-Bionic Titan 01-04 review!

This is a show I wish I had caught first run, but I saw it soon enough after.

Sym-Bionic Titan 2010

I have talked about show some fourteen years ago, and haven't seen it since then.  I like it a lot, and am hoping to enjoy it even more this time around.

876. The perilous Planet of Storms review!

This is a fascinating movie from 1960s Russia.  It is pretty cool, if not very adventurous.

John the Robot

John the Robot is from the Russian movie Planet of Storms, or Planeta Bur, if you will.  I have seen this a total of three times, and it is impressive, overall.  John is a great looking and very functional robot in this movie.

The Eliminators 1986

From Wiki- Eliminators is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by Peter Manoogian, starring Andrew Prine, Denise Crosby and Patrick Reynolds. The plot centers on a "Mandroid" constructed by an evil scientist from the body of a downed pilot, who teams up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet robot Spot, a riverboat guide and a martial arts warrior. Back to me: It is a Charles Band movie, so that means it was gonna be at least interesting.  It has a little bit of everything popular from the time frame in it, and even a Star Trek connection.  Well, a soon to be Star Trek connection, anyway.

872. The ideal Iron GIant review!

I am surprised I did not review this movie back when I saw it in the theater.  Well, perhaps not.

Tobor the Great poster

 I have talked about this, complete with pictures, about thirteen years ago.  I still enjoy it, though the kid...

735. Reviewing the Creation of the Humanoids! 1962

                I so want to like this movie more than I do.  It almost accomplishes it's modest yet thoughtful goals.

                       Here we have an improved view of Movie Monsters #3!  It had a rather large impact on me from 50 years ago.  Who knew?

                   Here is a short video about the various great series that have been released legitimately over here in the States.

Hero of the Week- Robotman

 

From Wiki- Robotman (Robert Crane) is a Golden Age DC Comics superhero. He first appeared in Star Spangled Comics #7 (April 1942) and was created by Jerry Siegel and Leo Nowak.^[100] As his name suggests, Robotman is a cyborg; part robot and part human.

Robert Crane is a scientist whose brain is placed inside a robotic body after he is fatally shot by a criminal named Mason. He assumes the civilian identity of Paul Dennis and joins the All-Star Squadron, accompanied by the robotic dog Robbie.^{[101][102][103][104][105]} His stories are mostly lighthearted in nature, featuring whimsical situations and comic relief (usually provided by Robbie). Despite this, the story remains grounded in Robotman's struggle to adjust to his new existence. At one point, he reveals his identity in court and is declared legally human.^[106]  Robotman was revealed to have been one of several other heroes involved in the first meeting of the charter members of the Justice League of America prior to the official forming of the team, an event which was suppressed from the public record.^[107]  Back to me:

Hero of the Week- Machine Man

 

From Wiki- Machine Man (also known as Aaron Stack, Mister Machine and serial number Z2P45-9-X-51 or X-51 for short) is an android superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jack Kirby for 2001: A Space Odyssey #8 (July 1977), a comic written and drawn by Kirby featuring concepts based on the eponymous 1968 Stanley Kubrick feature film and Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 novel.^[2] Shortly thereafter, Machine Man spun off into his own Kirby-created series. He is a robot, the only survivor of a series, raised as a human son of scientist Abel Stack, who was killed removing his auto-destruct mechanism, and further evolved to sentience by a Monolith.  Machine Man, whose real name is Z2P45-9-X-51, is the last of a series of sentient robots created at the Broadhurst Center for the Advancement of Mechanized Research in Central City, California, by robotics expert Abel Stack for the US Army. The previous 50 experimental robots went mad as they achieved sentience and became psychotic due to a lack of identity. X-51 was the only survivor, as he was treated as a son by Stack and given a human face mask as well as being exposed to a monolith. After Stack died trying to protect him, X-51 assumed the human name Aaron Stack and escaped confinement, only to be relentlessly pursued by the army. While on the run, the newly christened Machine Man initiated contact with humanity in order to better understand it.^[5]  Back to me:
