Animated SHARCs
Continuing from yesterday’s post about the SHARC box art, we present a comparison of the proto-SHARC from the MASS Device mini-series and the more on-model version seen in later episodes of the animated series. I find the early model to be an interesting variation of the more recognizable craft. It was also set up as a two-seater. Convenient!
The first artwork looks like it would have made a much better toy than we actually got.
The vehicles had a tendency to sprout extra seating when the script called for it. On numerous episodes, single seat aircraft suddenly grow extra seats.
The best/worst example was the night raven in the last part of Arise, Serpentor, Arise that can hold all of Cobra’s high command. (and land and take off from a city street).
The cartoon version had actual seats, not that piloting while you lay on your stomach crap. Unless the seats fold down so Deep-Six can fit.
I’d like to see a toy version of the cartoon two seated S.H.A.R.C.!
”You know Hasbro. It had to change the Sharc with the times.”
I’d want a version of the SKYDIVER
