Skull Leader Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I had both jets, all three skill level tapes, and watched that show RELIGIOUSLY when I was a kid.Man, this topic takes me back... 327044[/snapback] We never DID get a Phantom Striker. Tried like 3 times. ... Why did the badguys get the best vehicles? The Phantom Striker kicked the PowerJet's ass. And the Interlocker was fully functional, whereas the Energizer wasn't even capable of doing anything but play target practice. 327062[/snapback] and easily qualified as making the most annoying sound EVER....

I'd forgotten that, but you're right. All the way up there with baby Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Seriously... I think Mattel had some kind of weirded out psycho sitting in the development room thinking "hmm, what's the most annoying sound we can give this toy??"

ComicKaze Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Seriously... I think Mattel had some kind of weirded out psycho sitting in the development room thinking "hmm, what's the most annoying sound we can give this toy??" 327089[/snapback] Didn't the Energizer like totally own all the other vehicles though because it couldn't be hit and output an amazing amount of epilipsy? If only it did the same in the final episode. Fear Lord Dread! Sure he's a Vader ripoff being a cyborg in black...but he looks much better. Say what you will but I loved these powersuits as a kid. They'd kick the asses of any other Sentai team. I like how each suit really has a purpose and is designed to look that way.

If only it did the same in the final episode. Sort of... You couldn't control it at all. It was impossible to lose points, but it was also impossible to GAIN points. And it DID shift between target mode and firepower mode, so it was possible to hit it. It just didn't take damage when hit, though the other guy scored a point. Fear Lord Dread! Sure he's a Vader ripoff being a cyborg in black...but he looks much better. I object. No one looks better than Vader. Though Dread's certainly got a Vader thing going on. Got a bit of the Borg in him too. Say what you will but I loved these powersuits as a kid. They'd kick the asses of any other Sentai team. I like how each suit really has a purpose and is designed to look that way. Don't forget... the sentai teams all have neon spandex. The Power team had shiny metal armor... well, plastic plates with metallic paint, but that's not the point. It LOOKED like armor instead of pajamas. So in conclusion... POWER ON!

gerwalk25 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Least we forget the metalheroes who wore the same fare in japan back in the 80's. Google Shaiyan/Shaider, Speilban, Juspion, Jiban (Even though it was a blatant Robocop ripoff), Machine Man, Cybercop, Byclosser and Bi-Fighter and Bi-Fighter Kabuto and you'll know what I mean. Anyway I remember the Captian fondly at least from the toys and the video, I don't remember the series very well though. I used to go to a friends house after school (on minimum days) and played with his XT7 and shot at the cardboard foil target that came with the fighter. Later he bought volume one of the VHS series and came to my place (he didn't have a VCR) to play. He usually scored higher than I did plus on Saturday afternoon's at 3 is when Capt. Power aired and I scored pretty highly but forgot which episode though. I never owned any of the Capt. Power Toys not even the action figures I always relied on friends to let me borrow toys here and there. It was a toy line that was way ahead of it's time IMHO.
