    Volcana?

    The three moons of Etheria factored in the FILMation She-Ra episode, "The Crystal Castle", with She-Ra speeding up the lunar eclipse. The whole Elidor/Princess Luna bit came from the UK comics. Discussing these disparate factors in Bios neatly transplants them from outlying sources into Masters Classics canon, where (in my opinion) they would be understood to be canon until stated otherwise. :^)

    It was never stated that Tiar-Ra was a princess, or even a person, was it? Tiar-Ra could be a dragon (!), a place, all kinds of things!

    You are correct, Tiar-Ra was never identified, shouldnt have made that assumption, although i envison her as the the queen of the Cyrstal world, as the motherstone of the sword of protection, and to so many other important locales in MOTU Mythology. But i could have sworn the moons showed up on some image we recieved from Mattel, cant be too sure of myself. Its fun to imagine who would be one the first Princess Alliance as this era is not readily explored, its not like we have a Pretheria era really discussed, the basic extent of my knowlegde is that were 9 first ones, only one of which we know the name, and the took on the form of flame spirits and burned alot of important books then retreated into the core of etheria where they remain. But the PRINCESS ALLIANCE, it scounging up names from different resources, and placing them as best as possible in the time line.

    The one aspect i really liked from the Netflix shera was the Princess alliance and how each had a artifact that gave them powers, although some did not (Netossa and Spineralla, peekablue, flutterina, btw still super ****** they never showed sweetbees design) it kinda legimized things a bit better as it was combining all the different regions against the occupation of the horde more realistically. One possibility was explored was in one of the books that came out for that series call the fire princess which explored a lost princess that locked herself away in her region, and princess allience went looking for her help. the only thing i remember about her is she had really long hair. got look into that again.

    ...

    And again, there was no need for Scott to him to the council of elders, it further confues people as the council of elders ( as established in the 200X series) had a clear crew of people, Zodak was a powerful ally that assisted them
    This might be one of the few times he read the MYP Series Bible too hastily, that states that in the 2002-lore Zodak is an "powerful enforcer for the Council of Elders..." and then made him as part of the group...

    Who knows.

    wow finally we learn about Mer-man II. Interesting to learn about the undersea king Marin-or the wise, was the one the council of elders from the 200x series? Its interesting cause there is an entry in the compendium on a character called the undersea king that looks like a Lobster, and another one that features something called the Sacred trident which states that it is a powerful as the power sword,

    Optikks new bio was awesome to hear the future events after what happened after the battle of Fetra V, and who survived from that, and their future. only thing i wished they addressed is the weapons upgrade he got the Blacksmith of Crelus.



    The best thing about this is the new fighting foe man, Jawsome, which just solidifies that every vintage vehicle can have a version of a Fighting foe man driver.



    The staff of light is a retelling of the story from the both the UK POP comic magazine and the german audio play. I like the powers they give to the staff and the link to the tiara as well. They incorporated the cadets from the Netflix show and Corperal Romeo, and we learn she splits her staff into two to give to her two kids, who i presume she had with BOW, princess Ember and Prince Umber, although based on the name could she have married a a reformed Volcano Magnus. Also another question to to be asked is who is the grandmother of King Micah who gifted to her by Lighthope himself. Was she part of the orignal
    Princess Alliance.



    Absolutely loved this bio, finally explains his two different forms, love the "Ascended Form" version, and as the bio mentions the cult was after magical artifacts left behind by the Ancients and Council of Elders. Two things that could have improved this bio,

    1. To associate the Carpet of Chaos as the artifact which transforms them into their Ascended form, merging them a the demon from the Demon Zone. I always wanted for the bios to associate the Krall, leader of the demon zone from the Filmation Episode "Betrayal of Stratos" to Damon, i kinda came up with this idea that he found his way into the Demon Zone via the Caligars (as Whiplash somehow knows the entrance and reports to Krall as some kind of god) and stole something ( in my custom case his bracers, but as a ancient artifact the Carpet of Chaos) and essentially trapping Krall down there, preventing him from escaping or sending his demons to the surface of Eternia. Damon took this power and granted those that he deemed worthy of this gift with a demon who he thought would best enrich his powers and make them powerful allies.

    2. I wish they called out members of this cult, the most notable that we know of is Tufos, Avion general that took over after Stratos fell in the Second UBG. who else was part of it.

    Damon Should be part of Scareglows supernatural cabal, as they are essential doing the same thing, collecting dark artifacts left behind to increase their power.

    It would be kinda cool if they did variations of characters in demon form, kinda like faker, or slimed heros, or even zombie version.



    What i like about this bio is the fact that they explore the relationship between an wizards wand or staff, which frankly is really not something that has ever really been delved into, something i was going to bring up in a more general thread, then anything specific. Even when you do a google search on it, usually the only thing that comes up is LOTR reference, and even then they dont bring up what the nature or benefit there is to a wizards own staff or wand. Also I love that they are finally incorparating some of the Overlords of the timeless dimension into the Bios, very cool to see that.


    Very cool backstory on this, Love they are using Queen Tyrantula in the bio and giving the backstory on how they got here, the inclusion of the Mechano Ray from the origin story that was thought up in the ladybird stories for Spydor, and the different people that controlled him throughout its lifetime. Only regret is he never had a true Fighting Foe man Driver dedicted to himself (Webstor, Mosquitor, Crimson Countess all pseudo)

    Did The Mechano Ray-factor in a telling of Spydor's origin in a Ladybird Book? I read about it in a Golden Hardcover story, "I Have The Power".

    And I would say, that if Spydor was looking for a dedicated pilot to achieve Fighting Foe-Man status, it could certainly do worse than Webstor. :^)

    This is off memory but you might be right, they used the mechno ray on syclone as well correct

    I saw Slime Pit and I thought "ooh, maybe we'll learn about the origin of the skull". Sadly not.
    Please check out my custom figures. The first few stink but I get better.

    I also wrote a fanfic. See the fanfic board. At least four people like it.

    I was hoping for an "add-on" clause to the sentence that ended: "...make zombies of The Heroic Warriors and Evil Warriors alike!"

    "...But NEVER Moss Man. Panthor, or Grizzlor!!" LOL
