Thanks for your work, great video.

[@cerealgeekTV]

Thank you for taking the time to get it a watch! :)

[@c.a.bonnema6382]

The Octuss design is awesome!!

[@cerealgeekTV]

Yeah, Dusan did a GREAT job! :)

[@MrHootiedean]

Cool trivia. Octuss looks awesome and fits right into the MOTU world!

[@cerealgeekTV]

I think he would STILL make a great addition to the world of Masters of the Universe! :)

[@MrHootiedean]

@@cerealgeekTV I agree, he would make a great figure in The Cartoon Collection and addition to season 3 on the Netflix show. Mattel get on it!

[@pop_motu_75]

Yes, his design looks awesome and is very Filmation. Now, we need an Octuss action figure!

[@cerealgeekTV]

Seeing Dusan's design brought to life would be rather awesome! :)

[@jmac7563]

I'd like the origins line to make this, that would be amazing, as they are making concept art in these newer lines

[@cerealgeekTV]

Well, Mattel have shown more than a passing interest in borrowing fan designs...:)

[@michaelrlomax1977]

I could see Octuss and Merman being rivals. With Skeletor playing the two of them off against each other. Shame the character never made it beyond the first draft and a great piece of trivia as always. 😊

[@cerealgeekTV]

I DO like the idea of Mer-Man and Octuss squabbling on a mission together - Glad you enjoyed the video, Michael! :)

[@shebakoby]

neat trivia! Bang-on interpretation in the design. Too bad he never came to full fruition. But then She-ra got Octavia, so I guess that's something?

[@cerealgeekTV]

Yeah, Octavia was a badass! :)

[@theposhgoblin4270]

I wonder if someone had a lingering memory of Octuss when it came time to draw up the Horde roster with Octavia

[@cerealgeekTV]

Nice theory, but Octavia was based on Ted Mayer's concept for a female octopus-like action figure! :)

[@gmughadam76]

That is exactly what octuss would look like in the filmation series. Colossor awakes...

[@cerealgeekTV]

Yeah, I would love to have seen Octuss pop up from time to time! :)

[@calelle]

“Out of my way, Beast!” I loved this juicy morsel of behind the scenes. Filmation creations were some of my favorites. The character of Strong Arm should have been given another episode or two.

[@cerealgeekTV]

Oddly, in the storyboards for "The Dragon Invasion", Strongarm is present! :)

[@Iwantmorvids]

Thank you James for showing us these! :-) ( It's me Shawn D )

[@cerealgeekTV]

My pleasure, Shawn! :)

[@David315842]

Well done James, you and Dusan have created yet another character for Mattel to make a figure out of. ;) Seriously though, I see nothing wrong with Octuss and he could have been another great enemy for the most powerful man in the universe. :) Once again this episode shows your love for Wave 1 of the villains from 1982. ;) Keep up the good work.

[@cerealgeekTV]

Thanks for the kind words, David! :)

[@David315842]

@@cerealgeekTV As always, you're very welcome. :)

[@Ivotas]

Wow, never new about Octuss, so thanks for bringing this to our attention James. And that design by Dušan is 🔥🔥🔥 I would absolutely like to see that being made into a figure.

[@cerealgeekTV]

Yeah, Dusan has an awesome eye for design and the ability to mimic Filmation's style better than most! :)

[@Ivotas]

@@cerealgeekTV He surely has. The stuff he has been contributing so far has been utterly amazing. Not just visually but also when you do something in terms of sound design. A multitalent I must say.^^

[@vidal_rodriguez80s]

Interesting stuff!!

[@cerealgeekTV]

I'm glad you think so! :)

[@ClarkeMarek]

He looks like Admiral Ackbar. Good episode. Saw this right after watching History Matters.

[@cerealgeekTV]

"It's a trap!" :)

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

I know that's a movie related trivia but I'd love to hear more about another forgotten Evil Warrior: Worruck!

[@cerealgeekTV]

I'm sure there are experts for the 1987 movie that would be able to talk about that...kind of feels very much out of my jurisdiction! :)

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

@@cerealgeekTV Thank you for your answer and everything you've done for the MOTU community!

[@cerealgeekTV]

@@WhateverHappenedToFun - Thank YOU for the kind words! :)

[@TheSuf]

Craving calamari all of a sudden for some unknown reason 😅

[@cerealgeekTV]

I haven't had any calamari in a while...and now I'm craving! :)

[@Fineline_Guy_2]

🐙

[@cerealgeekTV]

VERY appropriate! :)

[@niobium79]

Should make it into an origins motu figure....given that the other guy is making all his concepts into figures....

[@cerealgeekTV]

Well, Mattel are always looking for ideas...:)

Thank you! :)

It’s a trap

...Jaw! :)

My first thought! :D
