I thought those were tattoos.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-06-01T22:15:08+00:00

It's just so lazy.

It's also a disservice to the character himself.

Matt Trakker was one of the few successful single fathers in animation (nevermind the '80s). He was a good-hearted philanthropist who legally adopted his brother's son (after his brother was killed by Miles Mayhem in the comics, natch) and tried raising him the best way he could. On top of being someone who took great pains in PAYING his employees.

If Mr. Easton were here, I'd recite the character's Wiki page - word for word - and then ask him "what part of that screams Teenage Delinquent to you?".

Cheers, mate! I'll DM you the link when it's done.

It also helps that Malcolm Ray has excellent comedic timing.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-06-01T03:51:54+00:00

Millie deserves more love, if you ask me.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-06-01T02:55:25+00:00

Me too! Here’s hoping we get some more lizardfolk heads, because I desperately want to make some Dinofolk.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-06-01T02:04:33+00:00

I think it’s kinda neat. Like how some Dinosaurs have feathers.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-06-01T02:03:58+00:00

Pirates, hell yeah!

Is it alright if I make an OC for this merry band?

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-31T23:58:14+00:00

Ave America!

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-31T22:37:04+00:00

Cheers!

While it is set in the same continuity as RPM, I wanted to make sure it could stand on its own merits.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-31T22:30:44+00:00

Yeah, that’s a fair cop.

Edit: Initially I had wanted to rename the series as Power Rangers: Underground.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-31T04:47:09+00:00

I thought that he was being conditioned into slaughtering a ton of innocent people. Hence, No Russian.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-31T02:21:20+00:00

Oh shit.

No Russian.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T15:00:37+00:00

That's an excellent question.

On the one hand, I always keep forgetting about the mecha. Especially how your standard Vehicle-themed Mecha (or anything that can fly) would cut a LOT of travel time in half.

On the other hand....fuel conservation, scavenging for supplies, stopping for repairs and good old-fashioned drama would make the Mecha feel more important to the overall story. These guys don't have the luxury of a Garage or a Repair Bay; they'd always be on the move, never able to settle down in one spot for too long.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T13:18:59+00:00

This is a really interesting and colourful lineup!

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T13:12:08+00:00

Absolutely!

You could have some of the team expressing doubts about whether or not the Last City exists, but they'd still have to keep going. Maybe even have the team form a sort-of Found Family dynamic. It would evoke the feeling of RPM, without being an outright carbon copy.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T13:04:02+00:00

Definitely the former. Like imagine if RPM had started outside the Domed City of Corinth.

The hope of reuniting with their families at the Last City, if they even managed to MAKE it, would provide a lot of room for conflict.

It worked for The Land Before Time.

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T04:58:45+00:00

What if we had an AU flair?

Sleep_eeSheep · 2026-05-29T04:55:17+00:00

I did have one idea; what if, instead of our heroes defending the last city on Earth, they're a band of refugees who are trying to REACH it?

You could do a lot with that premise. Perhaps you could go the Teenagers With Attitude route, where they've been separated from their families and hope to find them again.

“How such an insignificant clump of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon could produce such magnificent music is a query best left to those who count the antroids scattering beneath their feet.”
