"Can I watch Animal Planet?"
"Is it Transformers? >:C"
"..."
"No, it is not. Go watch Beast Wars"
But, yeah. I think they've said they take alot of inspiration from Japanese cartoons so it wouldn't be surprising to see something like this refferenced.

There may be no peace for the wicked, but the righteous can damn well get a piece whenever they feel like it. |

I doubt Akira is the only piece of fiction to have someone crushed by their surroundings.
What else could have happened when The Headmaster tried to transform? http://www.tfwiki.net - I'm a pepper! Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?

#9 | | I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title. Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 11,718 Location: Lansing Michigan Collection Count: 486 News Credits: 2 | actually the sari upgrade thing is most likely right.
it's a scene-by-scene recreation of Gurren Lagann's combination animation. look at the two side by side. its damn near impossible for that to be a coincidence. the legs extend the same way, the arms extend the same way, and then the chest armor generates just like the visor on GL, and then the head upgrade is done. the sequence is the same. the way the parts themselves upgrade are exactly the same. it's pretty damn obvious.
Derrick said he hadnt seen Gurren Lagann when season 1 and 2 were in production (ruling out the prowl and soundwave suspicions), but later said on his blog that he had seen it afterwards. |
