I designed most of the figure line - I designed it about 3 years out, the crazy stuff never came out - in year 3 the guys dug so deep into the earth that they made their way to hell and discover a devil character

The devil character I designed was about the size of the scientist. Going lower then the center is possible - It's a state of mind not distance.

Pretty much the same for the other kids in our neighborhood. I would have bought those concept figures in their finalized forms in a heartbeat!
Ah well. Such is life.
Great work though. Thanks for sharing the visuals.

Then I think of the Bay Transformer movies, the missed opportunities with GIJoe, and the absolute crapfest that appears to be the Jem trailer, and realize that we would probably just end up with a crappy mash-up of "The Core" with "Saul of the Mole Men".

Another factor working against the Evil That Lies Within was when the line ,and cartoon made their debut. The industry was going through a bit of a transition. The shows' ratings were in decline in 86'-87' season with the original audiences getting older. Also, even show runner Flint Dille, and others who worked on the show expresses some miss givings about the quality of the toys. And also according to Dille, when the head honchos at Hasbro, when they finally got to watch the show. They were a tad bit shocked at what they wrought. And I've read a post that apparently they were worried that angry parents were going to give them what for over scaring the little tykes. Although, most kids I knew at the time were renting every gore fest horror flick at the Video Rental store, and me, who was basically what you'd call a weenie when it came to horror. Loved the show. I'd love to see the property revived by Hasbro and IDW down the line. With the Autobots and Decepticons back on Earth in the TRANSFORMERS mag, I keep holding out for a return appearance of Metlar and his posse. It seems like a great back door pilot for the Inhumanoids to make a return.

Still, I loved it as a kid, and my son thinks it's the best of my "old" shows. Given that they were apparently going to introduce the "Devil" on the show, I can see parents groups coming unglued. But man, what a premise!
