Ah but could he be struggling to decide to help Bruton or Brondo? I doubt when he saying Commonturk here that he's referring to Bruton - the killer robot who's just kidnapped his sister

Saw this in a forum post here: The picture was of the swirling ball of bruton/brondo flying out of the water - seems he called Brondo 'commonturk' here.....but this isnt the Canadian dub I don't think...

Wow I never would've believed it. Always thought the 'Turk' part was meant for Brondo considering his Eastern origins/locale

God bless their hearts and souls but....Oh.....my.....GOD! "Mr D can I be your partne...

Looking at Epsilon from 2003 I suppose it makes sense. Photar grew a nose for the 1980s series (1960s Photar didn't have a nose) so it makes sense he'd change gender for 2003.



NOT!
