Talk:Megas XLR

message: I looked through the article for the first time in a while and saw that someone was saying S-Force was a spoof of Silverhawks. How so? If it's because of the bird costumes, that's part of them being a Battle of the Planets spoof, not Silverhawks. Gladrius 03:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: How does Downtown have anything to do with Megas XLR? Neither of the two creators of Megas XLR created Downtown. Maybe I'm missing something here (like they were production instead of director / creator / writer) but I don't see any similarities. Can someone check on this and update the article as needed? Thanks. 71.225.125.176 17:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Both Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic were involved with Downtown; Krstic was story editor, and Jody was one of the artists.  Additionally, Scot Rienecker essentially plays himself (Goat) in both. Da Next Pope (talk) 05:50, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: When did this show orignally air? It's scheduled to play on the 11th at noon so it's not "unaired", but that can't be the premiere... can it? If it didn't air last Saturday (the 4th) what did instead?

replies: text: Hmmmm... it didn't play on the 11th either. Apparently CN.com's schedule is wrong. It's set now to play at the end of October according to http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=121369 Solanum 21:29, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It didn't air on 10/30, either.  Maybe CN just hates the episode.—Boarder8925 14:51, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the Energy Sword an original weapon or borrowed weapon? It's pretty close to Voltron's energy sword (especially the the creating sequence the first time it gets used in ep3) but not sure if it's close enough to be considered unoriginal...
:Well, there's other cartoons that have swords like this (like that one guy in Yu Yu Hakusho, if I'm not mistaken).  While the idea of Megas's sword is not original, it seems to be enough of its own to be considered original.—Boarder8925 23:10, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: In one of the earlier episodes (The one with the car show off contest) Coop had to switch the vehicle to manual control, which consits of a dance pad (a la Dance Dance Revolution) and two gloves. I don't know where to place this into the article. (If at all) I am also wondering if the gloves are a refrence to the "Power Glove" made by Nintendo, but it just may be a generic design w/the gloves. Greyhead 21:58, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
:That's a good question.  Um, I'm guessing that manual control should be left out (for now), since it's neither a weapon nor a character.  And the power glove bit?  I'm unsure about that one....—Boarder8925 02:14, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the weapons category should be changed to Megas equipment? That would encompass everything from shields to weapons to nifty gadgets.Solanum 00:59, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Should Megas be considered a character?  It's not like it's a talking robot.—Boarder8925 19:51, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Megas&mdash;a character?

message: I think that it's time that all the Megas information should be moved to a page specifically for Megas. This page is for the details on the TV show and so if there's so much information one part of the show, then it really deserves it's own article. So if nobody objects, I'll move all the detail to a new article, probably: Megas (Megas XLR). BillPP 20:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed the EMP torpedo from the equipment section.  I can't remember its being used ever, and it doesn't seem like something noteworthy, anyway.—Boarder8925 00:15, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I do seem to remember it being used, but I'm not sure on the specifics. We'll be able to get a much more comprehensive and accurate listing of weapons once the episodes come out on DVD (I've heard that the first season will be out sometime this summer I believe, I hope that's still true). — Solanum 01:49, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Closed captioning indicates that Kiva's surname is spelled "Onderu".  Her date of birth is Sept 15, 3012.
I couldn't really understand properly how to edit a page so I though I might add this here and let someone else more experienced do it instead.
:I'll add it now.--Viridis 01:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not only that...but his rival bears more than a passing resemblance to Raiden. Also, they were voiced by Peter Cullen and Frank Welker respectively which is noteworthy because they were using their Optimus Prime (with a bit of Venger) and Megatron voices to play opposing robot roles on a mechanical world obviously meant to be an homage to Cybertron. 
Megas's head has a strong resembeliince to a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda
Technacally, the show's title is Mechanized Earth Guard Attack System eXtra Large Robot!
In the episode 1x01 - Test Drive the Space Battleship Yamato can be seen too (at around 13th minute)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.196.244.57 (talk) 19:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a more specific period for Megas' landing in the junkyard than "early 20th century"? This would go a long way towards stopping the constant stupid back and forth edits.

replies: text: I have "Test Drive" on tape and just watched it, in fact. The junkyard where Megas ended up was opened in the 1930s, and the pile of junk he was under was there since the place opened.—thegreentrilby 22:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've read interviews and such, were the creators said they were going for an anime style. But I feel that the only thing that resembled an anime was Coop controlling Megas like some pilots do in mech animes. In fact there's an episode that's a parody of anime. The art style doesn't even look like anime. If the creators happen to come across this page, I have a message for them. Please don't try to use another country's art style to boost your cartoon's popularity, just be yourself and everything will be fine. Last but not least, although you guys have said it yourselves, that it's an anime style cartoon, I consider it an american cartoon and I love it.
:I'd say all the gaint robots and Kiva are pretty heavily anime-influenced. I wouldn't call Megas XLR anime, more like a nice blend of anime and american styles, like Teen Titans and I love it. I normally hate anime, but Megas is like a nice small dose.--Viridistalk|contributions 00:59, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its not the anime you see in japanese cartoons, it is a mix of america-anime style. But not 'real' anime I think. MihaS 16:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone know what the individual songs from the show are? I've heard a few of them from other shows. Disorderly Conduct, for example, uses the same song Coop has whenever he gets into a fight, like the Franken, or when he picked up that leg in Rearview Mirror, Mirror. Basically, what I'm asking is, what are the songs names, and should we add them?

message: I may be mistaken, but isn't it Advance System instead of Attack System? 
Could you site references on this one? I always thought it was Advance and not Attack, something I heard about 4 years ago, and was wondering how do we even know what it stands for since it is never mentioned in the show?
