so their 'morphing' ability had a time limit, the kid accidently stayed bird-mode for too long and became stuck as one. i never finished the series idk if he died, he was just like...a bird for most of it lol
I recall the time limit thing but something tells me that a kid was straight up murdered this way at some point - now I gotta go back and re-explore to get my closure. This will haunt me if I don't figure it out 💀
I think he did (admittedly, I only learned about this from the wiki since I fell off around book 13). Interestingly, I hear a few lgbt kids from back in the day really identified with his character arc.
I’ve been getting into the books for the first time and remembering watching the show when I was a kid! I was instantly endeared to it because they were playing the Beast Wars videogame on one of the early eps
Iirc they recently finished recording the entire book series to audiobooks, and now they're working through the extra content books. They've done all the megamorph books but I'm not sure if they've done ALL all of the books set in the same universe.
God I was thinking about it not that long ago and rewatched it as an adult (found it all on YouTube??) and my lord the flashbacks (and what a bad show haha) I had the Taco Bell toys and the Tobias transformer toy haha
I definitely remember the Beast Wars arcade game that was featured in some early episodes. As well as how much creative liberty was used in the adaptation.
Oh, and who could forget Visser Three's alter ego, Victor Trent.

Also yeah, that shit was wild. Didn't they trap a kid in a bird and then kill him?
I was more of an ‘Earthsea Saga’ reading kid at the time, but I know my friends were obsessed with it.

I love your drawings of the Andalites so much, and Tobias was always my fav chara as a kid and I really like your design/take on him

That intro pops in my head from time to time.
