Megaforce – a a lot-off relation to M.A.S.Okay.?

Instant forward  a few a protracted time and I sure to peek it used to be available to buy on DVD – and to my surprise and pride – it used to be.  Ordered from Ebay fresh, serene sealed.

Megaforce is a crew of Global Crew of Consultants who’re called in to action wherever and at any time when to resolve disputes.  They’ve the most modern weaponry, donated to them by worldwide locations in every single place the arena, at their disposal.  Alongside with Professor “The Egg” Eggstrum’s innovations.

The autos frail on their mission are weaponised Dune Buggies and Motorbikes with a cellular expose unit overseeing the mission.  They additionally maintain a mission alter centre relieve in The united states.

Varied autos are considered after we discover about a tour of their homely.

Overall, it is an infinite movie, nevertheless, there are some bits that I am no longer alive to on – primarily the partiality interest between the Megaforce Commander and the female Vital – very tacky and practically ruins the movie.

Made in 1982, it came out before M.A.S.Okay. but there are some commonalities between the two.

One day of it be inception, M.A.S.Okay. used to be potentially going to be called M.A.S.Okay. Force –

– As would possibly per chance per chance well also be considered in the photos above.  As great as I admire the thought art work for M.A.S.Okay. Force, I am happy they settled on the shorter name of M.A.S.Okay.  Both groups are made up of Global Consultants.


The Leader of Mega Force is named Ace Hunter – linking him to two of our loved M.A.S.Okay. characters – Ace Riker being one.  The less obvious hyperlink for some followers is M.A.S.Okay. Leader, Matt “Hunter” Trakker.

The personality of Suki is played by Evan Kim..

… Suki is terribly very just like the personality of Bruce Sato…


The personality of Zac….

…With his hat, interior most stereo and headphones will not be really dissimilar to Buddie Hawks…

The Texan of the neighborhood, who strikes a chord in my memory of Dusty Hayes, is aptly named Dallas ….

To this point, you are presumably thinking that these are very tenuous hyperlinks – and you’re going to also very well be correct.  I am per chance shopping for a hyperlink when one won’t be there.  Megaforce and M.A.S.Okay. had been two of my childhood favourites – and serene are.


The next personality seals the deal, even supposing, as presumably the most convincing argument that there would possibly per chance per chance well also were a hyperlink between the two, or presumably, the creators of M.A.S.Okay. had been as huge followers of Megaforce as I am.


Meet, Lopez….

The similarities in appears are uncanny to Julio Lopez of M.A.S.Okay. reputation….

From the dark hair and moustache, to a identical colored outfit – Lopez from Megaforce is so very like Julio Lopez.  From IMDB we gain that the actor who plays Lopez is named J. Victor Lopez – does the J. stand for Julio….?

His connection to Megaforce doesn’t break there.  Julio’s Firefly car is somewhat the same to Dune Buggy style autos featured in Megaforce (NB – Lopez rides a Bike, no longer this form of).

Unfortunately, the autos are restricted to simplest changing colour from Shadowy for night time expend to the quilt considered above.  There would possibly per chance be simplest one car that has the flexibility to convert in a identical manner to a M.A.S.Okay. car – or, ought to serene I snarl, a V.E.N.O.M. car.


 Ace Hunter’s motorcycle is a prototype that can flip into a Jet Cycle, no longer not like Floyd Malloy’s Vampire…

Okay, I’m going to be comely right here and snarl that Vampire is WAY great cooler than the Megaforce Bike but I serene speak that the root would possibly per chance per chance well also maintain made it be manner into M.A.S.Okay. culture from Megaforce.


One final car is a frightful well-liked Ford Bronco….

Cliff Dagger’s Jackhammer used to be additionally a Ford Bronco.


So, what attain you’re thinking that?  The same or am I factual clutching at straws?
