Happiest of birthdays to the best of boys

As the two are my favorite characters of the year, I decided to do a hybrid 2D/3D piece involving Drago (Bakugan) and Megatron (TFP).

Megatron model from the TFP DS game and rendered in Blender 4.5.3 with the Eevee renderer.

So... I'm thinking quite a bit about Bakugan lately. Mostly about Alice/Masquerade, Hydranoid, and Leonidas. Also a bit about Spectra Phantom and Helios. Not all of these thoughts are big ideas for much, just a bunch of random little ones that share an origin point.

Like probably a lot of people, I think New Vestroia would have been a bit more interesting if Alice and Hydranoid were part of the main cast. Her not being part of most of New Vestroia feels like a missed opportunity. Especially considering she was basically the main antagonistic rival of the previous season. I've heard that there is a fanfic where Alice is part of the New Vestroia cast, heard it's actually considered pretty good, but I have yet to read it. I want to rewatch all of Bakugan from Battle Brawlers up to Mechtanium Surge, to see how well I think it ages.

Legit, I missed the ending of Battle Brawlers and the first half of New Vestroia back when I was a kid, so when I caught a random episode of NV, for a second I thought Spectra was a redesigned Masquerade... Then I think Dan and Spectra started chatting and I got the info that Spectra is a new antagonistic rival for the main character. A new antagonistic rival that shares a few bits of character design that looks similar to Masquerade. I imagine the shared bits of character design is to make things still feel cohesive in some ways if you missed something.

Here am I, shamelessly, with my RunoJulie propaganda

Julie throwing the gate card then Runo throwing the Bakugan wasn't intentional I swear–

But I love it this way. 💙💖

all i wann know is wtf did they do to shun?

Yeah, it looks like they got the concept art for Shun and Marucho mixed up...which is another reason why I'm not a fan of the reboot.

How does this:

turn into this?:

Like, at least give him a different surname.

[shunsellon]

one thing i noticed while watching ep 10 of ms is shun walks into a dark hall just as he ignores marucho's pleas to make him stop brawling. babygirl is in a bad headspace and heading into the dark and it's only getting worse.

another fun tidbit which i'm not sure is intentional or not - it's shun who's shown in the title sequence to cho saikyo warriors just as the lyrics go "i run towards the light" which is a neat contrast to the visuals of episode 10.
