So people have been complaining about his blank expression.

But when you compare it to his original NES sprites, it makes sense.

That’s one thing I really liked that they did with him, they were really focusing on how much of a robot he is, as opposed to the more human-esque side of him you see normally portrayed.

I was really shocked they made his eyes digital displays and it actually makes a lot of sense. Seeing his eyes flicker and focus was just one of those moments watching the trailer where I was like “DAMN”. I’m just so used to thinking he’s an almost perfect humanoid robot that I forget that he IS a machine. And to show him off as a less then perfect robot in design was a really intense portrayal.

I guess this is silly rambling, but I really love what they did with his design. He really comes across as a badass super fighting robot, and if that’s not fucking awesome I don’t know what is.

(not to say I don’t love seeing his more human side either! I just think this is a nice, refreshing touch to remind people he is indeed a robot. believe me, I LOVE MEGAMAN AS A CUTE KID AND A BADASS ROBOT)

Seriously, I LOVE the digital-display eyes. That is now pretty much how I picture him (and every other classic-era bot) forever now. Gonna be hard to portray in line-art, but hey.

The eyes blew my freaking mind when I saw them.

ALSO. Super fighting robot?

I see what you did there.

I’m in love with this

I was just talking to an artist yesterday about the tendency to crop things really close and tight in order to enhance drama. If it’s overdone — which happens frequently with artists—you start to feel like you’re watching a movie through a hole in a sheet.

Pull the camera out. Be brave enough to let the reader orient.

Occasionally, in the right moment, pull the camera way, way out even. How does that effect the emotional beat?

[MONSTER] Robogoat.

Japanese name: ロボゴート
Romanized name: Robogooto

Alignment: Bandora Gang/Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd
Species: Zyu2 Monster
Inspiration: Ram
Status: Defeated.

From: Zyu2, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers

NOTE: These images do not reflect the sourced episodes verbatim. They are composites of scenes from both Zyuranger and Power Rangers. This was done merely to show what Toei’s raw footage could have looked like.

Trivia

After Saban exhausted Zyuranger footage, Toei was financed to make a collection of enemies that was exclusive to Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. These are often referred to as “Zyu2” monsters. Saban eventually acquired the rights to Gosei Sentai Dairanger, but they had some remaining Zyu2 costumes. Thus, many of them were seen in the early episodes of the second season of Power Rangers. Poor editing techniques spliced the Zyu2 scenes with Dairanger and original Saban sequences. As of today, Toei has not released any of the uncut Zyu2 episodes on home video. None of these creatures appeared in Zyuranger.

Robogoat’s name is the same in both English and Japanese sources.

Although Burai/Dragon Ranger died in Zyuranger, he was “resurrected” for the Zyu2 stories. This was because Tommy/the Green Ranger was still active in Power Rangers.

Despite its moniker, Robogoat’s horns were shaped more like a ram’s than a goat’s. A ram (male sheep) and a goat are two different species.

The ram is a popular animal in ancient myths. Aries/Ares is a constellation that resembles a ram. Ares (or Mars to the Romans) is also the Greek god of war. Many of Bandora’s minions are inspired by Greek mythology.

Robogoat would reappear a few more times throughout the Power Rangers franchise. However, the suit was significantly changed.

Robogoat’s sword was wielded by Saigan in Super Sentai World.

Toei may have filmed several methods of destruction for each Zyu2 creation. This way, Saban could pick whichever ones fit their scripts best. In “The Green Dream”, the Robogoat was killed by the Thunder Megazord (Dairenoh). Some sources believe that Robogoat was actually destroyed by the Ultrazord (Kyuukyoku Daizyujin). Additionally, the Dragonzord (Dragon Caesar) was present in the battle as well. Since the previous set of mecha was no longer in use (other than the Dragonzord and Titanus/King Brachion on occasion), Robogoat was pitted against Thunder Megazord. As the monster cowered before its foe, the blade of Megazord/Daizyujin’s sword (the Godhorn) is shown. The blade of Thunder Megazord/Dairenoh’s sword/Daiohken was curved and much thinner. The visual effects that accompanied Thunder Megazord’s finishing move (named Raging Hurricane Waves in Dairanger) was superimposed over Robogoat at the time of his demise.

Disneyland Paris: The Dragon and Phantom Manor
Disneyland Paris has been my dream for as long as I can remember. Specifically Phantom Manor and the dragon underneath the castle. I think, if I was only able to experience these two parts of Disneyland Paris, I would still die happy.
Anyone who has been there, please share your experiences an let me live vicariously through you!
