A week after Chiro wakes the monkeys up, it snows and… needless to say, one's enjoying it heavily while the other's suffering.
Despite that, everyone has fun as much as they could! Sans Green trying to eat snow, they still have to keep an eye on him.
Also, this took me forever. I don't wanna do more multi page comics for a while. Everyone in the main tags can get blasted with this, dammit, I feel like I deserve something for it lol.
Because to me, this character in the middle of the Pachinko game building in the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go pitch pilot and the Ultra Force pitch website looks like Yacker and the other white wisps from Sonic Colors.
If it looks like Yacker and the other white wisps to me, then it seams to me that SRMTHFG and the Sonic series share the same universe!
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go and Pitch Pilot Comparisons
I've been meaning to do this since the pitch pilot for the show was found, but I figured it was best that I do it on this blog because it's pitch pilot related. I want to make a compilation of differences between the pitch pilot and the show, along with what got reused later on.
This is kinda a long one, so buckle up.
Biggest changes
Names
Getting the most obvious one out of the way first.
The monkeys have different names, instead of actual names they're referred to by color. Monkey Black, monkey Blue, monkey Green, monkey Red, and monkey Yellow for Antauri, Gibson, Otto, Sprx, and Nova respectively. It's possible that they were simply placeholder names until the series got picked up, which is my guess. Chiro, Skeleton King, and Thing stayed the same name wise, though Thingy was referred to as "Thing" and "little thingy" but it's relatively the same.
Shuggazoom City is referred to as Pachinko Town. While it's obvious that the name got changed later on, and how it might've transferred to the Sheenkos in a similar sounding manner, it's interesting to note that pachinkos are a thing. More specifically, it's a Japanese word (パチンコ, pachinko) for vertical pinball like machines that are typically used for gambling, but are shown in arcades as well.
Interesting to see the Japanese word usage this far back in the show's roots, considering some Kanji is used in the show at some points, as well as Super Quasar calling Chiro Chiro-san, a Japanese suffix/honorific to show respect to the person they speak to (think of it similarly to using Mr. or Ms./Mrs. for individuals), at least from my understanding anyways as someone who doesn't speak Japanese. Makes me wonder if there being an arcade was always planned because of that little detail…
Ranger 7 is referred to as Ranger 6. Small in comparison, but interesting to note regardless.
The Super Robot is also referred to as Super Robot Battle Base Headquarters as well.
The Power Primate seems to have a different name too. Power of… Ape? Power of something, I genuinely cannot figure out what that particular word is.
Voices
This is obvious enough. A good few of the voices were changed between the pitch pilot and the show itself. Yellow and Chiro are the most notable ones. Black and Blue sound the same as they do in the show, though Blue doesn't seem to have a hint of a British accent here. Skeleton King seems the same voice wise as well, same with Red, but I'm not the best when it comes to voice acting so they might have different VAs that sound very similar to each other. It doesn't help there isn't anything saying who the voice actors were here.
Designs
Skeleton King is the most different from what I noticed.
Chiro's, of course, different as well but it's nothing too different from when we see his little self in the show so there's not much to note there.
The monkeys designs are a little different, but the art style doesn't help in any capacity. Their tails might be purely organic rather than cybernetic but because they're drawn as just lines, it's hard to determine that for sure.
The planet looks pretty different, though it could be because not a lot of it was given much detail. The same could be said about Shuggazoom City compared to Pachinko Town.
Miscellaneous/smaller differences
Chiro doesn't have a communicator on his regular outfit, not a visible one anyways. He also transforms into his Hyperforce mode by flipping his hat, at least it appears that way.
One attack name hasn't been used in the show itself outside of the pilot, Chiro's Stingray Boom(?).
The monkeys share a singular room rather than their own individual ones as we see in the final product. Chiro's room also looks different here.
The inside of the Super Robot is, in general, different looking.
Red was possibly gonna be the British and/or Australian monkey of the team instead of Gibson being British, having used "blimey" and "crikey" at different points in the pitch pilot.
3D/CGI appears to have been used for the Super Robot and its individual parts. Nowhere in the show itself has there been any of that used, and if there is, it's not noticeable.
What's been reused in the show
The general Thingy plot has been brought over and refined into, of course, the season 1 episode "Thingy."
The line where Yellow says "This place makes my fur itch" has been brought over to "Magnetic Menace" word for word.
Some plot points in the pitch pilot has been brought over to "Chiro's Girl," mainly Thingy being used by Skeleton King directly to Jinmay being used by him and Sakko, and Chiro using pictures of their time together to help bring them back to normal.
Furthermore, the fact that Chiro has an ID has been taken over from the pitch pilot as well. Show version is a blink and you'll miss it thing though since it doesn't linger on it and it doesn't show it in detail. Even I missed it a good few times.
Chiro's younger design was brought over, albeit for a brief moment with his old clothes being in Skeleton King's lair and for most of "Night of Fear" with Chiro being turned younger.
His Hyperforce outfit is the same in both with it being brought over, just the face mask/makeup is slightly different.
While there's at least one attack that's different in the pitch pilot, there's some that's been brought over, at least name wise. Those being Boom Boom Wakeup, Magna-Tingler Blast, and Psycho Chopping Doom Spin.
Chiro's space/underwater suit remains the same and has been brought over.
The names of the Super Robot parts have been transferred over as well, however with the added addition of everything being numbered 1-6 rather than Fist Rocket 1, Fist Rocket 2, Foot Crusher Cruiser 1, etc. Placements of who goes to what is also the same.
—————
And that's probably everything, unless I missed or forgot something, which is likely. Same with if I messed something up. If I did miss anything, I'll compile more for a second part or reblog typing out each addition + mentioning whoever points out what I missed.
I would've shown off more images to show the differences and whatnot, but Tumblr's stupid with its 30 images per post limit.
I thought everything was just so interesting and I couldn't help but compare and contrast it all. I'll admit that everything took me a while, mainly because of doing other things and not going through the show in a while. Still haven't outside of getting screenshots.
