“Battle of the Rock Lords,” and LIME COKE!

There wasn't a new article to kick off the week yesterday, but I hope the fact that this one is 55,000 words makes up for it. Here's my review of "The Battle of the Rock Lords," a Go-Bots movie that introduces a whole new legion of rocky characters and long-tongued fur-covered dragon cuties. You're probably associating that "Go-Bots" connection with crap, but it really wasn't a bad little flick. I collected the Rock Lords toys, and this was the only way to see 'em animated. Not sure if that was worth the full-blown 90 minute treatment, but whatever, I'm still glad it's out there. Definitely worth picking up. And by the way...


This new Coke WID LIMA shit is fantastic. I got used to the phony lemon flavoring (actually prefer it over the original, non-fruitified version), but the lime is sooo much better. Way more natural. Besides, everyone loves limes. Admit it, you eat limes. Raw. You cut them in half and chomp on the skin, letting the heavenly acids flow forth like a river of sour. Now you can have that wonderful feeling and tack Coca Cola on top. Who could ask for anything more? I doubt it'll be around forever -- regular Coke, lemon Coke, lime Coke -- something's gotta give. Buy it while you can. Drink it while it's lime.

saf-
at the risk of being even more anal, i’m pretty sure the name of the chimp that fell out of the tree in the last Planet of the Apes movie was named Cornelius. His chimp daddy(get it?) was named Caeser(played by Roddy McDowell), who was the son of Cornelius from the future(also played by Roddy McDowell)…wait, someone pull this stick out, I want to sit down.

Put-da-lime-in-de-co-co-nut and drink-it-a-all-u-up, Put-da-lime-in-de-co-co-nut and drink-it-a-all-uuup….I say doc-tooorrrr, can you stop this bel-ly achin’ I say DOOOC-TOOORRRR!!!!…….Hate to go backwards (although I’m not the first), but I remember getting for Christmas (Thanks, mom and dad) a board game called "Shenanigans". One of the first "knockoffs" from a 60′s (70′s?) television game show, starring (God bless his soul! "Hi guy!") Chuck McCann (Great theme song. I’d love to get sound bytes of the "Shenanigans" theme song). One of the stops on the Television show was "Pie-In-The-Eye" (Get it? S.B. "Pie in the Sky") with Whipped (or Shaving)-Cream pies thrown by contestants at a continuously opening and closing eyelid (What a mess!). The board-game simulation of same was a "tiddley-winks" (SP?) game with a piece of green felt and multiple colored plastic discs. If memory serves, object of this one square of board game was to get said winks through a cardboard "bulls-eye" opening (Or a bowl; I forget)to score points. Sometimes the green felt pad hindered the tiddelly, some times it helped. There were many different "skill" challenges with the board game as well as the TV show. Actually I remember this game was a lot of fun to play with someone else, or even alone. You kids don’t know what you’re missing. Memooorrieeeeeeees…..

They made a Rock Lords movie? Ugh! My brother & I still have the Nuggit and Granite figures laying around somewhere. Nuggit’s nowhere as gold as he was. Cheapass paint.

And that Diet Coke w/Lime. That shit is HORRIBLE! I thought Diet Coke tasted bad to begin with…then they put that lime in it. I bought a bottle of that stuff one day because I was feeling masochistic. I should have known something when the cashier actually tried to talk me out of buying it. Really, though, that just made me want to try it more.

I’ve never been one who cared what others thought. If I was, I wouldn’t be a 30-year-old man spending money on Transformers and Spider-Man figures while the "dominant media culture" and others who buy into their crap were telling me to spend it on booze and hookers. (Some of us are a little more careful what goes into us. And vice versa.:)

So I have no problem saying that, while the Transformers show was better, I liked–and still do–Challenge of the GoBots. I wish I could see the GoBot/Rock Lord movie, as I have never had the chance. The toys were in my opinion just as good as the Transformers. Bumblebee and Scooter were my favorites for their individual factions. (Scooter had that cool hologram projector.) And I won’t change those opinions for anyone, reguardless of how popular they may or may not be.

I can’t comment on the lime Coke, because I haven’t tried it. However Go-Bots I know, or used to know, a bit about. I was a fan of Transformers, He-Man, and to a lesser extent Go-Bots. (Star Wars always being my first, and lasting love BTW.) I was never as big a fan of Go-Bots but I remember having a few lying around. Cy-Kil was my favorite, never cared for much of the good guys. The good guys didn’t seem as cool as the Transformer’s Autobots.. The Go-Bot ‘heros’ seemed to be a bit wussy-fied, even when I was 5 or 6 I had this impression of them. There’s a fine line heros have to walk in order not to go over the edge of being a total wuss. Han Solo pre-Greedo shoots first, and pre-carbonite is a good example of a cool hero that had an edge to him.

yeah i had the rock lord, with the green skin, and i remember dismantling him as a child, if i remember correctly, when i took all the screws out, an episode of george forman’s sit com was on, the one where his kids want to eat standing up, so they tell their parents it helps digestion.

I remember having some of the Super Go-Bots lying around. Some orange truck or something, I was never a big fan of the Go-Bots so I don’t remember any of their names except for CyKil. I remember a helicopter guy, and I do remember Crusher and Turbo but until I read that article I had long since forgotten about em. Transformer’s were by far superior, and today we have Transformer Go-Bots… heh, times are a changin.

Lime Coke where the hell did that come from? I’ve been out in the desert too long. I chose Transformers over Gobots but I liked Rock Lords I think I may have a few of them lying around at my parents house.

While your "GoBots" artical was fun, your kinda off on Frank Welker’s voice acting resume. While it’s true that Welker did the voice of Orbity, that character was introduced in the 1980′s episodes of "The Jetsons". Frank Welker’s first voice acting job was for the original "Scooby-Doo Where Are You" series as Freddy (Jones).
