Yes! Someone got it, lol! The CSO pics are much better than this phone shot but you get the idea. It was one of my favorite Cartoon network shows from a few (10+?) years ago. I saw the Black Knight and something about it reminded me of ol' Megas.



I had to take some artistic liberties to make it 'flow' but Ithink the general idea was there.  O0

A short lived cartoon series on Cartoon Network.
It features a giant warbot from the future landing in the ancient past of the late 90's - early 2000's.
It was found in a Jersey junk yard (no jokes on that being a redundant phrase folks).
The owner is a hefty dude/bro who loves all forms of video games and food.
He fought aliens from the future who covet the robot's power.

The whole show was a tongue in cheek tip of the hat to nearly every pop culture reference from Transformers, Voltron, to MTV.

Worth finding if you can, I remember it being on hulu once or at least for purchase on the XBox market.

Most importantly, the head of the mecha was missing, so he replaced it with his car.

There might be a reference to it in a BT sourcebook.

Kiva Cooper, in the Jihad HotSpots books.  She's on Solaris, in one of her reports the PopTV building gets smashed.

I assume her cameraman is Jamie.

Looks like it was the year of the Warhawk. If I had the time I would have brought the costume over for a picture with my mini-me. One of the Catalyst guys stopped me on the street as we were carrying "The Beast" back to storage and asked me to drop by the demo area for a chat. Unfortunately I couldn't find you the next day so I'm very sorry for that.
