CRAVE.COM is going offline which is a shame. Craveonline is in the same family sites as superherohype.com.

Waaaaaaaay.... cool! This guy should do some more G1 cars. I am sure Bumblebee wouldn't be hard.

Cool. I'd love to see Baboo from MMPR in the Turtle Van. It would be too funny.

That turtle van is indeed funny. And i had no idea that guy had been one of the villains in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series which i grew up with.

And poor Shredder, there he was minding his own business picking up letters not doing crimes and gets smacked unconscious by a frozen pizza.

I assume that was the same Rachet from Botcon 2011 in Pasadena. But I think they went a little too far with the Shredder drive by. And yeah April was fine.

Holy crap that Turtle Van is amazing!

And Ratchet too, but I've seen him before.

that's pretty damn cool and the fact that side door thingy actually works like the toy? thats just cool, most people would have that simply be decoration, not functional. thats love.

when she asks him what sorta van he used, that seemed silly. even in the cartoon you could tell what the model they were using was/or based on. then of course the first live action movie uses that same actual van for the escape to April's farm. of course it wasnt decorated but i still remember seeing it in theaters the first time and finding it cool it was the right model..an obvious nod to the cartoon.

i was also surprised to see during the power rangers talk that they actually filmed in hollywood or whatnot? i was always under the impression all of the action scenes were taken from the japanese show and and the only thing made by the americans were the non-costume scenes or at least the non action stuff.
