Hooray I'm being consecutive again!
This week's episode was another episode that was stuck in development limbo for over a year and I'm just proud of myself for taking the time to sit down and script this finally.
I'm just going to get right into the photo comic and wait for the Director's commentary afterwards to talk about everything.
As usual, click the photos to enlarge them for easier viewing and enjoy!
This episode features photos taken from 2021 and May of 2022 as I had gotten the "Decepticon" base set from Extreme Sets around that time. As I didn't have time to shoot the photos chronologically, I shot episode 33: "The Deep" at the same time as I snapped the photos for this episode and the next two episodes.
So for ME it's been rough to sit on these cool shots for almost a year and a half. I laughed when I got to this episode because this comic has been running for close to 2 and a half years and it took me 39 episodes until there is FINALLY some action scenes in it.
Actually, now that I think of it, this is the first time that Cobra will engage with the rest of the 3.75 Division Joes (aside from Deep Six) and that blows my mind.
The photo used for the 8th panel above was another shot left on the cutting room floor from Episode 30, but you can still see the B.A.T.s in the exact same position towards the bottom right corner at the end of that episode.
The best was the stress of me trying to stand up six Cobra B.A.T.s without them constantly falling over. I could have used foot stands, but these are living toys so I avoid using them unless I have absolutely no other way to get them to stand up. This Behind the Scenes video I shot while taking thesw photos because those blasted B.A.T.s just kept falling over and I needed to vent 😆 🤣.
What's also crazy to me? How short Splashdown's inner robot mode is. You see him almost shoulder to shoulder with Eco Warriors Deep Six and he's one of those larger Pretenders to boot. I sold every humanoid Pretender I had save for Splashdown, so I can't even compare sizes. Damn you past Chris!!
Oh and if it seems abrupt that there was no fight and we just went from the rescue team leaving the lab to escaping with Deep Six, you'd be right. I ran out of time to shoot any scenes in my parent's pool as it got closed before I had time to continue properly. So I had to scratch my head and cheap out a little bit. This taught me a valuable lesson in that one should never depend 100% on an exterior location as you might loose access to it when you need it.
Stay tuned here for Episode 39 next week as we ask the question: What happens when you add x3 G.I. Joes, x1 Pretender Transformer to x6 Modified Battle Android Troopers? The answer in 7 days!!
