More like micro-NOTS!!

Oh shit thanks dude

>>149493372 (OP)
Oh I don't like any of this.

It always struck me how Acroyear is like the mascot of the good guys in Micronauts yet he's the villain in Microman

Holy shit. You'd think they'd want to dump this on a streaming service or something.

Probably a write-off from Discovery or when Hasbro sold the Allspark brand

Managed to grab it all

>>149493652
Isn't that the account's name?

>>149497372
They wrote the entire, two season, 52 half hours show for taxes. That is the equivalent, length wise, to writing off ALL of Harvey Beaks.

>Great post from my former staff writer on Micronauts. The studio keeping a show on the shelf after we had almost no support staff after 3 years of some of my/our best work ever turned that time into a 52 episode gig job. 3 years of a job that doesn’t exist… 1/

>Because the studio decided it should be a tax write off and had ZERO consideration for the humans involved and literally erased our careers for those years b/c we have nothing to show for all of our hard work.

>THAT is what writers are fighting to stop. Now and for the future.

I watched the first episode. It was kind of bland, but it wasn't horrible either. Animation is mostly stiff, but there's a couple of nice moments. I'm surprised this is from 2018. It really felt like something from the 2000s.

I'll watch the rest eventually.

Bump

>>149493372 (OP)
Red girl looks cool. So what's this then? First time I think I've heard of this.

>>149493372 (OP)
Does Baron Karza kill everyone at the end? I always thought that ending was fucked up.

>>149501176
A toy line turned comic book that used to be published by Marvel and interacted with Transformers. This is the first solo cartoon they’ve gotten.

First cartoon and it's already on archive? Weird. Where did the show air?

>>149493372 (OP)
Wow

>>149499127
Thats fucking sad

>>149503193
It didn't. Hasbro had it made in the late '10s. Their CEO died, COVID hit and the company's entire strategy changed. Micronauts then gotten written off before ever being released. Truthfully, this show probably would've been another Hanazuki or Blazing Team in terms of popularity.

>>149501176
>Red girl looks cool.
Storm Hawks looking bitch.

>>149493372 (OP)
qt!

>>149493372 (OP)
this show definitely deserved better.

>>149504616
The show has been locked away all this time? That's a real mess of a situation. Guess it's lucky it even saw the light of say now. Does the show at least wrap up or is it a to be continued in a season that never comes?

>>149506080
I have no idea. I didn't work on the show or leak it so this is the first time I'm seeing it myself.

Just watched the first episode and while it was fine it suffered from sped up pacing.
By that I mean every single bit of dialogue and every scene feels like its missing 1-2 seconds of impact and tempo.
And its not like the current pacing cannot be done, its that the dialogue and editing isn't snappy enough to make it work.

Anyone want to leak the Hanazuki S2 animatics?

>>149504616
>the company's entire strategy changed
To what? Milking Transformers G1 over and over again?

>>149507249
They bought a movie/TV company just before their CEO died. They sold it off to Lionsgate a few years after. They've been cutting back on the amount of toys they make, instead licensing out the brands to smaller manufacturers. They're investing less in film/TV and more into video games.

>>149505391
I'm only on episode 2 but I hope there's a backstory episode for her.

>>149505391
Jar

>>149506080
it wraps up

i'm one of those guys that won't watch a series that's ended if it doesn't actually have an ending so i skipped right to the last few minutes.

there's a hook for more but the main plot is largely resolved it looks like.

the creator on x said that the series has a satisfying ending. i woulda ran with that but i checked it out before i saw that.

Bump for exposure.

>>149508291
Any references to GI Joe or Transformers or is it self-contained with no other Hasbro connections like Stretch Armstrong's cartoon was?

Any of the characters map out to any of the Marvel Micronauts?

>>149507859
NO!

>>149507859
She's microscopic. She'd drown to death.

>>149507859
Don't you even think about it.

>>149509987
Phen is about action figure size for what was likely an initial plan to sell toys. She'd still drown all the same, however.

>>149493372 (OP)
>Mr. Krabs is the voice of Baron Karza
Go figure.

>>149510046
If she is action figure size, is there even a Microverse or is like Smurf Village here?

>>149493372 (OP)
>>149494062
>>149495751
So these guys are from Marvel, but they basically never interact with the rest of the universe in a meaningful way from what I gather?

>>149493372 (OP)
I hope some anons are downloading it while it's still up. If/Once the archive.org videos get taken down, it becomes lost media.

>>149510064
It's directly stated that Micronians travel to different worlds, so there are probably a lot of aliens that are the same size.

>>149510364
So it's another dimension instead of a "Microverse" pocket universe?

>>149510437
It could be, or maybe it's just another place in the universe. I dunno, I'm only five episodes in ATM.

>>149499045
I keked when I realized that

>>149499127
Absolutely fucking atrocious. This type of behavior is a cancer that must die. Especially considering the garbage already on streaming sites. It’s not a question of “quality” anymore.

>>149493372 (OP)
can, please, anyone that was able to download the whole series torrent and seed this? i dont have space on my disk for now.

>>149511989
no

>>149511989
Bug these guys to rehost it on their site: https://www.wcostream.tv/contact

>>149511989
but I too only have a small fraction of free space left!
kek yeah I gotchu covered.
if this gets taken down I'll be sure to reupload it to some trackers if no one else does

>>149512521
Good shit, my man; make sure to share it with public trackers too. We should also reach out to people who cover lost media on YouTube to spread the word about it. An entire series getting recovered from some dusty studio PC is nothing to sneeze at.

>>149513398
i mean if its not good they keep it in the dust for all i care. i don't give a shit about all then work the people put into it or whatever bullshit excuse people come up with. they were paid. if it's shit i don't give a shit if it's shelved.

>>149513398
Lost media spergs only care about toddler cartoon pilots.

I've got to bump this thread. Good find, OP.

>why you care about shit shows is beyond me
Okay then, buddy. Tell us which shows (You) care about.

>>149509010
Curious about this as well

>>149493372 (OP)
What the hell? This looks like some kind of Teen Titans knockoff, not the constantly-dramatic comic book from the 80s. This looks like it would have a hoverboard chase, not an existentialist argument between characters, at any moment.

>>149515300
>not the constantly-dramatic comic book from the 80s.

Let's be real here, there was no way they were gonna be able to adapt that since Marvel did the work on that and there was a legal wrangling over which parts Hasbro could use and which parts Marvel could use

>>149515351
And then Marvel ended u not using the parts they tore off.
Granted, there was a few "keep the copyright" comics like 5-10 years ago about Arcturus Rann doing forgettable things until a planet from the Microverse ended up in space. Sometime around the Planet Hulk stuff, when they thought there was interest in the space stories. (There was, just not the weak sauce that Marvel was doing then.)

Videos already stopped working. Anyone saved it all?

>>149516467
Works on my machine

>>149514347
Yeah I figured a lot of things are beyond you

>>149505391
Im a simple man, if a show has a hot girl in it, I watch.

>>149510239
They do interact with the rest of the Marvel Universe and fairly frequently. they have multipart storylines with the FF, Doctor Strange and Shield to name a few. There are one shotsMan Thing shows up in an early issue and there are a bunch of other one shots as well.

>>149493372 (OP)
Cringe

>>149505391
I want to see her as a giantess

>>149518423
There’s 52 episodes, there’s probably one where she does that.

>52 episode long series
There are shows that aired and got cancelled with less episodes than this. A 52 half hour episode animated show is a rarity these days

>>149518047
One of the coolest things about Baron Karza is that he proved to be a threa to Marvel Heroes, both leading armies against SHIELD and personally fighting X-Men, all while couple inches tall.

>>149517049
Alright, I see. It works on my laptop. On my computer I only managed to fire in using Google Chrome browser but loading is atrocius.

>>149495751
That dude is basically a kamen rider

>>149519190
>>149505391
I will be watching

>>149519432
Baron Karza is a repainted Go Nagai mecha

>>149507859
They do use a jar at least once, but not with her

>>149520360
And now in this show he’s just red dr doom.

Quick sketch cuz she’s cute

Show’s alright. It’s definitely a saturday morning cartoon wannabe and the animation is cheap as fuck, but it’s fun enough. There is an actual story with lore and stakes here, and thanks to the high episode count, it actually has the chance to develop the story at the right pace. This is the definition of a relic from a lost time.

>>149507707
Episode 4 is her backstory episode

okay but when's someone leaking star wars detours

>>149522134
Disney is keeping that locked tight to save face

>Entire show created, animated, and ready to ship
>scrapped to make a few bucks
I hate capitalism

>>149521087
Phi's definitely has the best design from all characters I saw. Hope she'll get a bit of fanart.

It's funny how there are two chicks on the team and the second one is basically Aya from Green Lantern TAS only with all sex-appeal removed.

>>149522398
Fanart may be tricky as its a leaked show that’s unofficially releases and based on a lesser known IP. But with enough spam we may get something.

KEK

>>149522815
It must be purged

>>149522273
I hate modern management.

>Call the neighbors, I want them to see this.

>>149522879
Well both versions of Phi are hot at least

Her voice sure is something

>>149512521
you are a angel anon <3

>>149523534
Looks like that skylanders villain

>>149523893
Definitely a product of a previous time

>>149523534
giwtwm

>>149524201
Council woman was down to fuck

Usually I hate backstory episodes, but in this show they’re the best ones

>>149515300
>This looks like it would have a hoverboard chase, not an existentialist argument between characters, at any moment.
let’s just say it has a bit of both

>>149522815
Who is that blue dog?

>>149522815
this cant be real
did hasbro co-op the production of this cartoon in some way?

>>149524929
A-anon, I...

>>149522815
Stretch Armstrong had a reference too, but they removed it from the actual episode.

>>149525072

>>149525035
i will see
if the crew where into horses i need to see it myself.

i had to delete so much big stuff from my disk.
hope this is at least funny and is nice to watch when sad ;--;

>>149525403
It's a cute, harmless show that has likable characters and has an ongoing story. Also, the main girl is hot.

>>149525072
>>149525083
Weird

Milf status?

>An entire series nobody knew existed manifested itself out of nowhere with 2 full seasons
>nobody cares
What a depressing state of affairs

>>149527730
Well I am not that surprised as it leaked out of nowhere and it’s based on a lesser known property. I’m just glad it exists at all.

>>149526985
any POV macro shots with her and the Micronauts beneath her?

>They actually did announce it once back in 2019 and then never again, along with a Magic the Gather cartoon
I'm guessing that Magic cartoon has been long shit canned too.

>>149528396
Maybe whoever leaked it can save that one too

>>149528396
>>149528570
The MtG show is still being made, its just in development hell and has gone through multiple creative teams by now. So don't expect anything good (not like you should expect anything good from MtG for years now) but expect something.

>>149528674
I'll believe it when there's actually something to show

rise

>>149528674
wasn't it originally being done by the Avengers Endgame guys?

Is that common to just make like two seasons of content just to bury it?

>>149529242
Yeah, they were doing it then the project fell through and now they have someone else doing it.

>>149529558
No, not in the slightest. You at least air the finished seasons, even if the show gets cancelled

>>149522273
I'm sure the people behind it still got paid, but it still must be annoying knowing that show you spent so many hours of your life working on is going to end rotting in a studio vault, never to see the light of day.

>>149529692
If i recall the biggest issue the crew faced is that on their resumes and in their portfolios the series never coming out left a 3 year hole.

Will binge the show out of spite to Hasbro

cray cray

>>149529942
Phi’s lesbian rival

>>149515437
Mo' like 15 years ago, I think. Wasn't it during Realm of Kings or something?

>>149521794
It was actually pretty sad, damn.

I wonder if the show came out if the toys would be any good.

>>149522732
I dont expect her to explode like new Helluva Boss character. I just think it would be nice of show left any trace on on the Internet.

Overall I feel about it similar to Mysticons or most of Zag heroes cartoon. I dont really like it (what I saw so far feels mid) but it has that saturday morning cartoon vibe that makes me really really want to like it. It being recovered like that also makes you wish it was some hidden gem at last found, you know?

>>149526985
Cute. need to see her feet

>>149529801
I honestly don't see how that's a problem. Just saying you worked on an unreleased project during that time isn't some kind of herculean effort. The Irish animation scene can't be big enough for this show's history to be completely unknown.

>The portals are called Space Bridges
Wonder if that's just a reference or if it was meant to share universes with any TF show

>>149528674
You know they just need to alow for the adaptation of the mtg romance manga and they'll be set for years

it will likely take over a week to be able to download all the episodes. my bandwidth is not that good bros.

>>149533158
I think someone is uploading episodes on youtube

>This thing has a Christmas episode for some reason
This amuses me

>>149534606
52 episodes means certain tropes are inevitable

This is making me wonder what a Rom cartoon made around the same time would be like
Kinda hard to imagine cause it would only be able to use Rom and the Dire Wraiths and have to come up with everything else, but still

>>149532802
Apparently this was tied to some movie that never happened. Which is weird because the show stands on its own without any mentions to some movie that never happened.

Phi sexo

It's pretty sobering an entire two season show can just exist only to never be seen by anyone because a bunch of suits demanded it so.

How many other shows that are just out there and completed but sitting in a hard drive somewhere never to actually see the light of day without anybody even knowing they exist?

Showrunner's been talking about the show on Twitter
Xant's a Bug stand-in, apparently

>>149537092

>>149531498
I always thought that the toyline idea was great - heroes that were actually tiny so your action figures were in right scale and they could really have an epic battle in your living room or backyard.

Thing is, we didnt get toys based on Marvel comics or even on this show and I dont really get the appeal of actual toyline designs.

>>149538350
>The most recent toyline that actually did this and was pretty successful was Skylanders
