Microseries #8: The Fugitoid! - Page 2

*Andrew NDB* · 05-30-2012, 10:36 PM

Looks like a great design to me. I'm sure this will be of particular interest to Laird, too.

Matches Malone · 05-30-2012, 10:39 PM

I also really like the search light for the cover. Simple, but very effective. Feels like a standard Fugitoid pose, but I don't think it's ever actually been done before.

*Slap-Happy* · 05-31-2012, 12:10 AM

Damn! That new design looks fantastic! Can't wait to read it.

CommandoJamie7 · 05-31-2012, 11:22 AM

Soz, but I'm still not digging the head. I can't wait to see the David Peterson variant though!

*MikeandRaph87* · 05-31-2012, 12:45 PM

Knowing that Fugitoid is Peter Laird's favortie non-turtle I asked him his thoughts on the design via his TMNT Blog. This is what he had to say:

Same here. But I'm very happy to see him appear nonetheless.

**Jester** · 05-31-2012, 03:05 PM

Is it just me or does the "helmet-head" make the Professor look almost...female?

LeoNerdo · 05-31-2012, 03:26 PM

Happy they're continuing the microseries issues. Hope they keep it up. I've always found the Fugitoid rather bland, but maybe IDW will be able to change that for me!

Good question, man.

Looks like Peter Laird is holding onto the Old Skool Magnus: Robot Fighter stylings!

I would say it's more the shape of the "eyes."

Lampy · 06-01-2012, 07:52 AM

The new design looks pretty cool to me... Although to give him more of that fugitoid look... They shoulve given him round eyes. Other than that it looks fine to me. And i wonder how theyll tie him into the story. Krang perhaps? Looking forward to it.

I was thinking it makes him look a little too 80s. The original Fugitoid's design was really timeless.

Fugitoid Jones · 06-03-2012, 04:33 AM

I really like the new design! I can't wait for this issue! I was really hoping that my namesake would make it into this series. And I'm not surprised that Peter Laird isn't down with it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it always seems that if he wasn't involved with something or it deviates from his vision, he doesn't care for it. Again, just the impression I get from Pete.

That's always been true. The only reason he accepted the changes in the 4kids cartoon is he was working with the writers on it.

corvus · 06-19-2012, 04:11 PM

Since the solicitations reveal all this about the transmat,krang and stuff. I thought this would be relevant: has anybody noticed that the neutrinos had brief appearance in issue 8?

*Candy Kappa* · 06-19-2012, 04:14 PM

Neutrinos?
