MOTUC Meteorbs Discussion/speculation

**bamf1980** · July 20, 2009, 09:39pm

Since the Meteorbs were, in essence, a Japanese toyline that was tacked on to the end of the original MOTU and shoehorned into the origins of the Rock People, what are your thoughts on them being part of the new canon?

For me personally, I had never even heard of a Meteorb until I was an adult. They somehow slipped past me. That, or my mom thought they were dumb and steered me away from them.

Since I don't remember anything about them, I wouldn't be affected one way or the other.

How do others feel?

Lets try to stay clear of the tooling costs involved, and focus on our desire, or lack thereof, to see them.

The more the merrier! Bring 'em on!

**joseephus** · July 20, 2009, 09:46pm

I know almost everyone on these boards hate The Meteorbs, but I can't wait to see what The Four Horsemen can do with them. I want everything Mattel and The Four Horsemen have in store for us MOTU fans!

**PrinceAdam101** · July 20, 2009, 09:47pm

Personally, they are not for me.

But, if the fans decide to push for them, then I don't intend to stand in anybody's way!

They just aren't "characters" to me. I like human/humanoid characters over creatures, but that's just me.

Curious to see how everyone stands on this one...

**Alexx** · July 20, 2009, 09:47pm

Ha! Probably not, but I would LOVE to see what the 4H could do with them. I only had one, but I loved the heck out of it. Still got 'em actually! A little tiger. Would be cool if they just made one as a bonus sometime. Wonder if the 4H have fooled around with the idea at all, and maybe drew some sketches?

Just as I said about Extendar, Blast Attack and the other "gimmick-only" characters in the last couple of years of MOTU, the Meteorbs would be my cue to abandon the line.

**davidlogan** · July 20, 2009, 10:21pm

Without a doubt...of course they should

**adam03** · July 20, 2009, 10:27pm

I think they should, no reason for them to not be

**LookAway** · July 20, 2009, 10:33pm

I was a huge fan of the Meteorbs as a kid so ya i want them. They really didnt fit line back so i really dont expect Mattel to make them now. But i dont care I will always be a fan of Meteorbs and hope they will be made in MOTUC

They were really gimmicky. I got turned off by the gimmick only figures, too, back in the 80's.

**upinout202** · July 20, 2009, 11:11pm

I remember those from back then, but I never got them. I really had no interest in them. That being said, I'm sure they would end up being a bonus thing and not a regular monthly release, so by all means, make 'em for those who want 'em.

**Firefly** · July 20, 2009, 11:19pm

I'd like to see Comet Cat as a pack-in with Rokkon or Stonedar.

**musclor** · July 20, 2009, 11:24pm

While they don't really 'fit' with the rest of the universe, I had a couple as a kid and really enjoyed them. I'd definitely buy 4H versions of them - I'll admit it.

**bcrduke** · July 20, 2009, 11:35pm

I liked them a lot. I used to just play with them along with the Rock People. They also were fun to use with the Eternia playset for whatever reason.

**joe-or** · July 21, 2009, 12:14am

I hope they'll be included in the line.

**Heidi** · July 21, 2009, 02:09am

YES! But only after Stonedar and Rokkon have been produced.

**Brad2dbone** · July 21, 2009, 02:12am

Too me, they cheapen the mythology, so I hope that they don't come back.

**tyr112** · July 21, 2009, 02:25am

On the one hand, I don't care for them. I'd rather have any slot they take up be replaced with another toy.

On the other hand, my sense of curiosity would like to see what the Four Horsemen could do with such lame characters. It'd be interesting to see.

**dark knight** · July 21, 2009, 03:49am

since 2 meteorbs appear on one she-ra's cartoon i think of course they must being do it

**jmb410s** · July 21, 2009, 04:20am

Maybe, but WAAAAy down the line.

**Sir Reilly** · July 21, 2009, 04:33am

I'd like to see at least some of them as pack-in minifigures. Yeah, the Meteorbs didn't really fit into MotU, but I always digged them.

**Wulff** · July 21, 2009, 04:38am

Well, by the same measure Battle Cat was also 'shoehorned' into the line, as he is a redeco of a mold from a previous toy line.

So with that said, bring on Meteorbs!

**Sledge Hammer!** · July 21, 2009, 04:44am

Not for me, lame wanna-be Transformers need not apply for a position in my collection.

**Snake Hunter** · July 21, 2009, 04:45am

I love Rock People and I want to see these little creatures in 4H style.

Amen Brother! If they were released Id like to see them as 'Bonus' figures so I dont get them In the sub.
I Remember that the rock people and the meteorbs were major factors in me stopping collecting MOTU in the 80's. I saw them as an attempt to cash in on the TF Craze. so i lost faith in Mattel cos it looked like they didnt have faith in MOTU anymore.
