But if they name the planet Newt Exas then it is a little wink to the property

I hope not. All I'll hear in my head with that is Newt's Exes.

How about Nueteksaz or Nue Teksaz or Nue-Teksaz?

I added the hyphen to give it the MOTU feel

Personally I would love some crossover with MOTUC/Bravestarr in regards to Rio Blast. He's not the most well known character, it wouldn't be too much of a shoe-horn for him to have some Bravestarr related things in his backstory. But I don't know whether or not even that's too much in TG's eyes.

**krosfyah** · February 17, 2012, 09:02am

Cuz some people call him a Space cowboy.

Maybe I shouldn't be planting ideas into TG's "sinister" mind.

**Boy Wonder** · February 17, 2012, 09:58am

**davidlogan** · February 17, 2012, 09:59am

**Exinferis** · February 17, 2012, 10:15am

Bravo! *Claps*

(Really, a 10 character minimum for posts? Okay...)

**Eternian Poet** · February 17, 2012, 10:26am

I think he'd be best as Rodger. Or John-John. Or Cory.

**Captain Atkin** · February 17, 2012, 10:55am

LOL... Well, I think it is safe to say his name will be "Rio" in the bio. Curious to see if they give him a last name.

**Eternian Poet** · February 17, 2012, 10:59am

His last name will be "De Janeiro".

**TheFallen** · February 18, 2012, 01:28am

When my baby, when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio De Janeiro

I thought you were going to reference the Galaxy Rangers.

They came out in 1986 which was the same year Rio Blast was released in.

No Rio, We Riot

**danielsan52** · March 6, 2012, 09:52am

I want him to be a reformed/defected Col. Blast.

I still prefer him to be LUBIC from the 1987 film!

**iron_pride** · March 7, 2012, 12:47pm

His name will be Wayne John or something I betcha. Or East Wood or Wood East or something.

**Penny Dreadful** · March 8, 2012, 11:50pm

Thanks to TheFallen, I've randomly started chanting "No Rio We Riot!" around the house. My husband thought this was hilarious and had some fun when I was at my play rehearsal last night.

I went into the office/toy room this morning and had a good laugh. Sorry, the pics aren't so clear.

**TheFallen** · March 9, 2012, 12:06am

That is so awesome

Penny, you need to start a 3rd party company To sell MOTUC scaled No Rio, We Riot placards

**13977** · March 9, 2012, 06:38am

Now we've seen the MAA Arm Canon I really hope we get the Arm Revolver from the 200x Rio executed in a similar Classicized style to the MAA Arm Canon

I hope they use the UK Comic origin seeing as its basically a fleshed out version of the Mattel Style Guide origin.

I think Rio Blast should be a healthy combo of 200x and classics elements.

**TheFallen** · May 14, 2012, 11:24pm

I have a good feeling that SDCC 2012 will be the place we see Rio Blast. If not;

No Rio, We Riot

Should Rio Blast's real name be Maurice?
