Round 1 Match 12: Action Division
This is it!! The Battle of the Titans! The Ultimate Showdown!
Chicken Hawk: Tenacious, single-minded, and relentless. Don't be fooled by his size, this warrior has a mean streak a mile wide and has been known to manipulate others to further his goals. Unlike other cartoon antagonists, he has actually succeeded in capturing his prey.
Megatron: Scheming, powerful and unscrupulous. The commander of the Decepticons who could transform into... a great big gun! No helicopters, trucks, or tape recorders for this guy. Notorious for (albeit temporarily) destroying his heroic nemesis, Optimus Prime.
Round 1 Match 12: Potpourri Division
Battle of Nutrition! Veggies vs. Sugar!
Green Giant: The jolly advocate for putting vegetables on your table, (as long as they are flash frozen or stuffed in a can). Certainly has a reach advantage in any battle.
Kool-Aid Man: The one-man wrecking machine able to get to groups of thirsty kids anywhere, regardless of the obstacles in his way.
Round 1 Match 12: Animal Division
Equine Battle!
Newton: Faithful sidekick to the Mighty Hercules. Sometimes the comic relief, sometimes the plucky hero, sometimes the "damsel in distress", Newton is arguably the most memorable part of the classic cartoon. Cartoon!
Bullwinkle: Noble of heart, this globe-trotting moose (along with his much smarter and resourceful companion Rocky the Squirrel) fought the cold war well, even though his skills in magic left something to be desired.
Round 1 Match 12: Cute/Funny Division
Spirited Battle!
Casper: The "lonely guy" of cartoon history, this poor soul's quest for companionship puts that little skunk from Looney Tunes to shame.
Slimer: Everyone's favourite "little spud" (though his animated version is cuter than the big-screen version above). Wields the formidable power of ectoplasmic projection.
Round 1 Match 11 Winners
Whammy put the Noid to shame, and drives his big animated lawnmower into Round 2. | |
Frogger totally leapt over Dig 'Em. Who knew there was so much hatred for the cereal frog? Sugar-Smacked indeed! | |
Le Petit Prince prevailed in what became the match to watch for the week. Max had his supporters, but his monsters were no match for the social critic from Asteroid B612. | |
Rocket Robin Hood definitely resonated with many of the participants. Although winning the ironic obscurity battle, The Brown Hornet could not stand up to Robin's hearty laugh, and felt the sting of his electro-quarterstaff. |
