Enjoy amazing Korean artist JILPOONG17's cool "manga-ized" take on our UltraCadet characters from the second season of Megas. One word: badazz...

Megas Cosplay - The Coop Edition

I salute you good sirs!  

No better feeling for a nerd such as myself (yes, I did my first Megas panel dressed as Admiral Kirk from TWOK) to see fans decked out as characters I helped create - thanks guys, keep it up! 

(And feel free to send in your Megas cosplay pics - I'll post 'em in the on-going archive of awesome.)

Chicks & Half-Men Dig Megas

So apparently, we've got a fan who works on Two and a Half Men. I've never seen the show, but looks like the kid digs giant robots -  as the Megas poster hanging in his room clearly demonstrates. 

Considering that the poster was super-limited edition and only given to cast and crew, I'm curious how they even got a copy. I have no idea how old the ep is, but here's a shout out to whatever set dresser or propmaster decided to sneak in a nod. Megas lives on...

Megas DVDs! Sort of...

Although not the two season Blu-Ray box-set everyone's been clamoring for, here's the next best thing until then - a cool limited-edition, 96 page Cartoon Network comic featuring Megas, along with a DVD of the very first episode.

Gonin - The Five Killers

Created by my pal Eric Calderon of Afro Samurai fame and developed along with another friend, Mark Waid (Kingdom Come), I am very excited about this property. The guys behind the upcoming Dark Knight and Spirit features have expressed some serious interest, so hopefully we might be rocking on the script(s) soon.

Megasippers at Jollibee

Fast food chain Jollibee reveals its 2008 Megas XLR exclusive tie-ins - 3D "Megasipper" motion-cups.

Three different cups featuring the iconic robots of Megas will be available: Gorrath's Mech, Kiva's Drone, and of course, Megas. Look for them to hit this month.

The Megas Toys That Never Were...

And speaking of toys, here' s a still from the fake Megas XLR action figure commercial (available on the Downtown DVD) we made for a Cartoon Network staff meeting. A friend crafted the figs and Jody made the Megas and Glorft mech. The Megas was based on a Gundam.

Coop had "Rock On" action, and Kiva was supposedly anatomically-correct. Not sure what Jamie did - if anything. Megas had lights and sounds, but I think it was all Gundam-type stuff. Each of the figures was given to the respective voice actors, and the Megas went to our exec at CN.

A number of crew made cameos - writers, artists and even our supervising producer, Chris P, who's creepy performance so disturbed the execs, we had to cut most of it out.
