![]() While the Council describes this combiner threat as a massive, out-of-control problem, the threat they pose in the actual show feels very empty – Menasor, for instance, dies from one slice of Windblade's sword. The closest we get to any kind of "combiner war" on-screen is the brief scuffle between Menasor and Computron in "The Fall", which lasts for all of a minute. It's not really clear what combiners are supposed to be in this continuity: Starscream mentions that they're "still Autobots and Decepticons", implying that the combiners adhere to the usual factions, but other instances of dialogue treat them as though they're an entirely new faction of Transformers who have, by all indication, materialized overnight to wreak havoc on all and sundry. While Devastator receives some dialogue and characterization, Victorion appears out of nowhere seconds before she's assimilated by Starscream – even though she was the only combiner to receive a prelude video that hyped her up as a key player in the series. Later, the council talk again about using it to "control" the Combiners, but this time in the context of actually taking control of the existing Combiners.īeyond this, for a series named Combiner Wars, the series puts very little focus on the characters that it was ostensibly created to advertise, treating them as interchangeable background extras. At one point, Rodimus Prime talks about using it to "control" the Combiners, but apparently by this meant creating a new Combiner army. The Enigma of Combination is a similarly nebulous concept, with no real explanation provided of what it is, where it came from, or what it does, beyond the fact that it has created some (all?) of the Combiners. Caminus's cities have apparently been wrecked by the Combiner Wars, but whether this is collateral damage from Combiner brawls or the result of Combiners just plain smashing stuff, we are never told. No explanation is ever given for how or why this war started, or indeed for what the Combiners are doing exactly that constitutes a war. The prelude videos for the series vaguely allude to the " Combiner Wars" beginning shortly before the end of the Great War and somehow continuing to the present despite the end of Autobot-Decepticon hostilities. The story's setting, meanwhile, is supremely ill-defined. ![]() "The Council", for instance, spends a minute depicting Starscream flying over an empty Cybertron before leading into the action. As a result, the miniseries runs for forty minutes overall, which wouldn't be so bad if not for the obvious padding that permeates most episodes. Eerily, many of said criticisms also apply to the infamous Energon cartoon.Ĭombiner Wars is split into eight five-minute episodes. While Combiner Wars was advertised as a series intended for mature fans, the series was roundly criticized by the fandom for a variety of reasons. so as we go through the story we’ll have very sophisticated story ideas and sophisticated visuals. The first, Titans Return, premiered in November 2017, while the second, Power of the Primes, was released in May 2018. In November 2016, Machinima announced plans to create two sequel series, forming a complete set of tie-ins into Hasbro's " Prime Wars Trilogy" line. ![]() In January 2019, the Tumblr blog was deleted and all Prime Wars Trilogy content was delisted from Machinima's channel, including the Prelude videos, in advance of the announcement of Machinima's closure all videos were later made available for streaming via Rooster Teeth the following March. A year later, they returned to general viewing audiences via Hasbro's official YouTube channel, and in 2018 were uploaded to the Prime Wars Trilogy Tumblr blog, while the go90 release was removed as part of the service's discontinuation on July 30, 2018. ![]() įour prelude videos were released weekly beginning June 28 2016, followed by the premiere of the series proper on August 2, on the go90 platform in the U.S., and on Machinima's YouTube channel elsewhere… until Machinima changed the episodes' settings to "private" a few weeks after the release of the final episode. DeSanto, though it seems that at least two of them no longer want people to know about their involvement. Co-produced by Machinima and Hasbro Studios with animation done by Tatsunoko Production and voice recording by Bang Zoom!

![]() Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller test positive for everything illegal you could put in your body for competition. With a team in place and a new promoter, Ruiz seemed ready for one more opportunity and to look to become the first Mexican heavyweight world champ, ever. In a shocking move, Ruiz ended up on the Premier Boxing Champions banner fighting on April 20th fought stopping Alexander Dimitrenko as he picked up a fifth-round knockout his first stoppage in two years. Ruiz still had a name and skill, but now at 29-years-old, did he have time. Ruiz beat Kevin Johnson in Fresno, Ca, last summer. Ruiz’s time with Top Rank ended unceremoniously. Whether they know it or not, Ruiz and Robles had a similar plight as Robles during his tenure with Ruiz went from being viewed as the next star coach in boxing to losing most of his fighters once Oscar Valdez, Jessie Magdaleno, Michael Conlan, amongst others left him. was redeemed and during this time he had switched trainers like crazy from Freddie Roach, Miguel Diaz, Justin Gamber before finally finding a home at Legendz Boxing Gym with Manny Robles. Ruiz looked like the fighter many had raved about from the amateurs and not the one who had gotten a bit sluggish on club circuit, as his head movement and fast hands, gave the notoriously fast-handed Parker, all that he could handle, in fact most pundits, including myself, favored Ruiz on the cards for the bout, but the judges saw it another way (and that is all that matters in the end). Ruiz’s notable fight came in 2016 as he fought Joseph Parker for the vacant WBO heavyweight title in Australia. It felt like a pattern of facing opposition who were looking to survive against him while he looked to stop his foes while not wanting to risk getting knocked out which would jeopardize a future big fight. After beating former WBO heavyweight champion Siarhei Liakhovich in 2014 at the Selland Arena in Fresno, Ca, Ruiz went on a run that saw him winning fights, but never dominating as the talent always seemed to be there, but maybe the motivation not so much as he was fighting between the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, the Tachi Palace in Lemoore, Ca, and essentially any other venue he could get a date, as he waited for his big fight. This is where I got to see and know Ruiz for a bit as he would fight on Top Rank’s regional circuit, often headling shows. Between a sluggish start and a jiggling body frame that didn’t resemble anything of a chiseled Greek god, it seemed as though a silent memorandum had been sent to keep Ruiz off television until his body was more appealing or his performances were more dominant. Ruiz infamously made his debut to the typical fight fan in his 21st professional fight on November of 2013 on the Manny Pacquiao versus Brandon Rios pay-per-view fight from Macao, China, as he was getting outboxed by Tor Hamer before Hammer quit in the corner after the third round. In fact, the biggest promoter in boxing, Top Rank Inc, signed him from the start of his career in 2009, a company known for building not just champions, but stars - yet Ruiz’s career so a lot of backroads. looks more like your co-worker than a pro athlete, but the old adage ‘you can’t judge a book by its cover’ seems to be nearly ideal when thinking of Ruiz Jr.Andy Ruiz Jr., a 105-5 amateur losing only in the most inopportune times at Olympic qualifying events or international competition.

You can also add these adapters using the drop-down menu on top of this listing. If you're willing and qualified to install the accessory yourself, the easiest way to pull this off is by plugging directly into your car's fuse box using a set of Add-A-Circuit Fuse Tap Adapters. If you reside in Auckland, please consider our Auckland-based mobile dash cam installation service to get the Power Magic Pro fitted and hardwired for you. Package Contentsĭespite the BlackVue Power Magic Pro is relatively easy to wire up, it is recommended to be installed by a car electrician or a qualified installer.

Accessory Outlet (also known as the Cigarette Lighter Socket).LED indicator showing the current status and On/Off switch.Even with the timer function active, the battery level setting will still take priority in order to ensure that no matter what, your car will start later when you return. The Power Magic Pro can also be set to turn your dash cam off after a certain period of time as well. If the voltage drops below the set cut-off level, Power Magic Pro automatically cuts power to the camera, thus saving the battery from getting too low. When your vehicle’s ignition is off, Power Magic Pro monitors the vehicle's battery voltage while powering your dash cam. The Power Magic Pro uses a simple 3-wire harness to tie in to your vehicle's electrical system: constant power, switched power and ground. This accessory allows you to take advantage of your dash cam’s Parking Mode and protect your car’s battery at the same time. On the other hand, being hardwired to the power source for a long period of time, any dash cam is putting you at risk of getting stranded by draining your car's battery. In a nutshell, in order to utilize Parking Recording by Motion Detection or Timelapse functionality, your dash camera requires constant power. The BlackVue Power Magic Pro low-voltage protection module allows your BlackVue (or another compatible) dash cam to continue to operate while your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. ![]() As the event goes on, the brackets will be updated with winners and losers.

In 2017, Whitehead, in collaboration with Headcannon and PagodaWest Games, developed and released their own original title in the Sonic series, titled Sonic Mania. In 2015, it was announced that Whitehead would be involved in his first non- Sonic game, Freedom Planet 2. Īlthough he, along with Headcannon, released a proof-of-concept video for a Sonic the Hedgehog 3 remaster in 2014, Sega did not greenlight the port. ![]() His remake was so successful that he, along with developer Simon "Stealth" Thomley of the studio Headcannon, would later be commissioned to remaster Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for mobile devices. The port was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iPhone and Android in 2011. In 2009, a video regarding Sonic CD from Whitehead was taken down, leading Eurogamer to report that Whitehead possibly faced a cease and desist letter from Sega, which Whitehead claimed was false. In an interview with Steven O'Donnell of Good Game: Spawn Point, Whitehead proclaims that he spent "about a year or so" convincing Sega to let him work on the Sonic CD port. In 2009, Whitehead produced a "proof-of-concept" video of Sonic CD running on an iPhone using his own custom engine, the " Retro Engine". Since 2009, he has focused on game development, developing various fangames based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series. In 2006, Whitehead worked as a freelance 3D animator with the company Kine Graffiti. He has also developed multiple remakes of classic Sonic games and most recently, the remasters in Sonic Origins. He is most recognized for his work creating updated ports of early games in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series, as well as being the lead developer of an original game in the series, Sonic Mania. This concept was completely overhauled into the Syntax seen in the final builds and the original TV design was reused as the head of the Tankbot enemies.Developing Sonic the Hedgehog video gamesĬhristian Whitehead, also known by his alias The Taxman, is an Australian video game programmer and designer.
![]() Now it was not even Thanksgiving, and two students affiliated with Gunn were already dead. Then, a day later, a kid who’d graduated from Gunn the year before, Quinn Gens, had killed himself on the tracks. In McGee’s third month on the job, about three weeks before Cameron’s death, a girl from a local private school had jumped off an overpass. Twelve percent of Palo Alto high-school students surveyed in the 2013–14 school year reported having seriously contemplated suicide in the past 12 months. School counselors remained “overwhelmed and overloaded” with an influx of kids considered high risk, says Roni Gillenson, who has helped oversee Gunn’s mental-health program since 2006. While the intervening years had been quieter, they had not been comforting. Another recent graduate had hung himself. Starting in the spring of 2009 and stretching over nine months, three Gunn students, one incoming freshman, and one recent graduate had put themselves in front of an oncoming Caltrain. The 10-year suicide rate for the two high schools is between four and five times the national average. That morning the school district’s superintendent, Glenn “Max” McGee, called Kim Diorio, the principal of the system’s other public high school, Palo Alto High, to warn her, “This is going to hit everyone really hard.” McGee was new to the district that year, but he’d known the history when he took the job. The kids were usually “silly and joyful,” she later said, but that period, they were “utterly and completely silent.” She then asked how many had been in a class with him, and everyone’s hand went up. In her creative-writing class later that day, Tarn Wilson asked how many people were friends with Cameron, and a third of the students raised a hand. He must have sent the text only a few hours before he died. Cameron had gone to tryouts for varsity basketball but hadn’t yet gotten his required physical, so he had asked whether Alex thought he could get in to see the doctor the next day. He thought about a text Cameron had sent him the day before. The principal, Denise Herrmann, stopped him and told him, because she knew he was one of Cameron’s best friends, and he fell to his knees. Alyssa’s first thought: Is there another Cameron Lee at our school?, because the one she knew was popular and athletic and seemingly unbothered by schoolwork, an avid practitioner of the annoying prank of turning people’s backpacks inside out.Īlex Gil got to school a little late that day and saw people crying in the hallways. The teacher read a statement containing the words took his own life last night, and then a name, Cameron Lee. It was November 4, 2014, a few days after homecoming and maybe a month before college applications would start making everyone crazy. After a few minutes the teachers filed out, each holding a sheet of paper, none talking. Gunn High School, about 1,900 kids waited. Through the windows, they could spy the teachers packed in there. Now one of them, Alyssa See-Tho, was waiting outside the choir room for first period to start. In many parts of town, you can hear the warning of a passing train just about everywhere: the quad at Palo Alto High School the tables at Piazza’s grocery store, where kids from Gunn High School hang out after school the kids’ bedrooms after midnight.Ī few students had gotten in early to take some photos dressed as Scooby-Doo characters, part of an annual volleyball-team tradition. A bee goes in search of jasmine, stinging no one. ![]() The air is again still, like it usually is in spring in Palo Alto. “Ew, how old is that gum?” “The quiz is next week, dipshit.” On the road, a minivan makes a left a little too fast-nothing ominous, just a mom late for pickup. All at once life revives: a rush of bikes, skateboards, helmets, backpacks, basketball shorts, boisterous conversation. ![]() Then the gate lifts up, signaling that it’s safe to cross. The alarms ring and the red lights flash for a few seconds more, just in case. The kids wait until the passing train forces a gust you can feel on your skin. But a Caltrain at a crossing registers more like an ambulance, warning you fiercely out of its way. A Caltrain coming into a station slows, invites you in. Too fast to see the faces of the Silicon Valley commuters on board, only a long silver thing with black teeth. Five cars, double-decker, tearing past at 50 miles an hour. The kids on their bikes who pass by the Caltrain crossing are eager to get home from school, but they know the drill. First, from far away, comes a high whine like angry insects swarming, and then a trampling, like a herd moving through. ![]() From striking black and white to solid wooden bases, there are floor lamps for every style of home.
