Born and raised in Clearfield, on the back roads is where I spent most of my days. Chillin' at Beef's or snackin' at Sheetz, with a couple of guys that were always good. We never caused trouble in the neighborhood. Spotting for deer never made us scared, but the fear of running out of gas made us get back there. I pulled 180s and donuts, while my friends and family think I'm nuts. All in all, it's hip to be square.

    Ok, I'm going to give it a 3. It wasn't the best but wasn't the worst. Vanessa's voice didn't sound quite like Vanessa at the start of the cartoon. It was good to see an episode with other M.A.S.K. characters taking the lead with no Matt Trakker and very little input from Miles Mayhem. This shows how competent our M.A.S.K. team are even without Matt in charge.

    I'm not sure why the Mayhem brothers needed Gas Masks on as I'm sure their own masks should filter out sleeping gas? If not, they aren't very well designed.

    I love they way that Ali Bombay and Bandit/Bullet are animated - especially getting the colouring correct on his gloves - makes it more believable. Although, after working on his ride, not sure why he needed a rag to wipe his gloved hands.

    Great use of masks throughout and naming the weapons as they are used really helps sell the toys... We also have use of the codenames of some of the characters.

    I'm really disappointed that they still see Raven as only being a boat rather than a Seaplane and it's never used to it's full potential!

    It was just a standard Racing Series Episode - not quite as good as the original episodes.
