Basically the opposite of the Nick series Bebop.

Bebop looks big but going by that scene in the trailer when he rushes and body slams Leo it doesn't seem to slow him down any.

Well, some sumo wrestlers are known to be able to have an immense amount of speed...

There's a pretty interesting reason for that, actually.

All his fat appears to be soft, much like in sumo wrestlers. People whose fat is mostly soft are generally going to be more capable of strenuous activity than those whose fat is mostly hard. Such as sumo wrestlers and that guy.

In there case, the fat is "just" fat. They are still incredibly fit and healthy as horses.

The Sewer Lair Playset reveals what the Technodrome really looks like.



It looks like the Technodrome is a combination of the 80s and Nickelodeon version.

Beat me to it, yeah that's part of the reason some people can't get thin naturally without literally starving themselves.

Okay, I have to admit...that looks like a pretty kick*** playset. That kid would just be slightly taller than it if he was standing.

I'm not gonna lie here, it looks like one of Devastator's testicles from Transformers 2.

All and all, though, the Technodrome looks like the Nick version without any color.

they looked pretty good from the pictures, actually had eyes and such....

So a big, boring, asteroid-looking ball in the sky, utterly devoid of style or personality? There've been a few less-than-stellar Technodrome reimaginings over the years, but none of them have been this dull.

Also worth noting that they just recycled the Nick playset for this with a few minor changes:

It's kind of a shame that everything gets revealed through toys. Was kinda hoping to see the Technodrome in the movie as a surprise. Anyways, it looks like those ships that we saw in the trailer, so i'm guessing that they do indeed combine.

Isn't that exactly how the "big reveal" of that one Spiderman villain got revealed? When they tried to keep it as secret as possible, then was ruined by a pez dispenser?

Yep. And then everybody started bashing it for looking "too human" because they were use to Todd Mcfarlane's animalistic design.

I don't know why, but toys and Merchandise always seem to leak no matter how hard a Studio tries to keep the reveal under wraps.

and the toys are partially accurate, The only thing is the toys have lesser details then the real thing.

Looks like the garbage ball from that one episode of Futurama.
