from Wikipedia: Pepsi Convoy With the release of the Japanese Exclusive Transformers toy Pepsi Convoy, more of Pepsiman's origin was revealed. Apparently, the metallic silver compound Pepsiman is made of was developed by NASA, and was called "sentient metal". Pepsiman was created when the "sentient metal" fused with Pepsi Cola. It is shown that Pepsi Convoy is made from this same living metal when a sample was given to the Autobots. Despite having the same mission in life (bring cool refreshing soda to thirsty sentients everywhere, thanks to his CO2 gun and "bottle station" trailer), an expanded version of the toy's bio revealed by the writer reveals that Pepsi Convoy is not in fact a new form of Pepsiman, but could probably be considered a brother or cousin. Whether or not Pepsi Convoy has the same lack of coherent speech and lack of luck is unknown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsiman Also, don't forget "the Fuct of Pepsiman": http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/guinea/441/figure5.jpg
Doug Dlin actually pointed this out way back when he translated the bio, and I'm sure I posted the link here and it even got frontpaged.
I just checkled Youtube for the commercials. The encodes were crappy, but those are some wierd commercials!
PEPSI MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I have all the commercials downloaded on my PC, along w/ his theme music. The vid quality of the commercials is not the best...but they are funny as hell! -Shifty
Uh...congratulations? This sure ain't something most people will remember, let alone concern themselves with pointing out. I'm surprised the Japanese go into so much detail for a character, Pepsiman or not. I mean, maybe it's their version of "over-the-top" humor? I mean, I'm entertained.
Hey, your sig pic was the rason I lokked Pepsiman up on Wikipedia in the first place! -LBeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Well I'm glad I could turn another person onto the greatness that IS Pepsiman. Funny thing is...I hate Pepsi...but I love Pepsiman! Ironic ain't it! -Shifty
Thanks for the post Broadsie, I would never known about Pepsiman if you didnt post this. Sometimes reposts are a good thing!!!!
