Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The current Corvette is a fine choice. It maintains the general sleek look of the original K.I.T.T. A boxy Wheat Burner is just not K.I.T.T. it looks more suitable for a life action MASK movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The Thunderhawk in MASK was a 3rd gen Camaro---it was basically a red KITT. Equally wrong for a Mustang.

David Hingtgen Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 A boxy Camaro is still sleeker than your standard Mustang. ::goes back to staying up late watching 80's intros on Youtube:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpaint22 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 M.A.S.K that bring's back a lot of memories, I haven't seen that intro in over 15 years and it still rocks. Where's my Yamato Thunderhawk or switchblade now that would be some cool collectables. Hmm..... I miss my MASK toy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Sorry to continue off topic but regarding mask....does anyone remember an episode that had the MASK team guarding some sort of new military jet that could fold up to be compact enough to be transported in a cargo plane...or something to that effect. I just remember loving that plane when I was a kid....thought it looked so cool. And yes, the MASK theme rules!! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasis Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Fun fact: I was just reading an interview recently with Shinji Aramaki (Mospeada, Megazone 23, Bubblegum Crisis, Appleseed, etc.), and he mentions how he'd take breaks from his work at Artmic to design toys/vehicles for American properties, particularly M.A.S.K.! He also proudly declared that the Transformer (Microman) Soundwave was his design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 More OT: Top 10 80's cartoon intros, starting with Visionaries: (Hunt around, and you'll also find the 30 min one, and the 5-part series) Best theme I never knew about before: Mighty Orbots. Best theme not included in any list: Denver the Last Dinosaur. Also, plenty of KITT vs KARR on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best theme not included in any list: Denver the Last Dinosaur. Also, plenty of KITT vs KARR on youtube. The Mighty Orbots were awesome! I loved that show. But so my brother and I wouldn't fight, my mom had us alternate who got to pick on Saturday mornings: I got o'clocks, and he got the thirties (or vice versa). There was some show I liked better than the Orbots like right before or it, and my brother hated it, so I wound up picking it and when the Orbots were on he picked Muppet Babies. EDIT: DUDE! DINOSAUCERS! I completely forgot about that show, but it kicked ass! Man... I know most of the shows I liked as a kid suck today, but I wish they'd come out on DVD anyway. At least in some sort of 80's collections with maybe one or two episodes a piece. Edited December 18, 2007 by mikeszekely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check. Mass spectrometer? Not stated, but given he did material analysis, he needed one. AV in-dash? Yup. Weapons-grade lasers? Well, for one episode anyways. Biometric analysis? You betcha. Was even tied to the keyless entry system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a screen replica plate from The General Lee Made with the correct font and date stamp thingie that you U.S guys have on your plates.

With GM? The company that sent a legal notice to the producers requesting they not refer to KITT as a TransAm because they were sick of people asking dealerships for the TransAm with the Knight Rider computer in it?
