Gimlet (Transformers)
is a 1998 Japanese ''Transformers'' anime series, spawning a movie and a toyline. It was broadcast on TV Tokyo from April 1998 to January 1999, and was the first ''Transformers'' anime to be produced by Nihon Ad Systems and animated by the studio Ashi Productions. The series was preceded by '' Beast Wars: Transformers'', and was followed by '' Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo''. The series has a much lighter tone and is aimed more toward children, whereas the more accessible ''Beast Wars'' was intended for a wider age-range. The anime uses conventional animation rather than the CGI of its predecessor. With the exception of the faction leaders, all of the characters within the toy-line are either remolds, reissues, or recolors of earlier ''Beast Wars'' or Generation 2/Machine Wars toys. In addition to the 43 episodes, there is also a 50-minute movie, '' Beast Wars II: Lio Convoy's Close Call!'', which takes place sometime between episodes 32 and 38, and a manga ada ...

Captain Lorrington "Gimlet" King
Captain Lorrington "Gimlet" King is a character created by the British author W.E. Johns, best known as the creator of Biggles and Worrals. King's nickname is taken from a gimlet, a tool used for drilling small holes - and hence the term " gimlet-eyed", meaning someone with piercing eyes and keen vision. Johns is thought to have been inspired by Major 'Gimlet' Champion, one of his commanding officers during his flying career. The rest of the name may have been inspired by South African soldier and adventurer William Lorraine King who died shortly before the first novel was published. The books which were published during and after World War II, are about the adventures of explorer-soldier "Gimlet" King, and his intrepid band of followers. His regular comrades are Corporal Albert "Copper" Edward (an ex-policeman), Private "Trapper" Troublay, and Nigel Norman "Cub" Peters. Gimlet and his team of commandos were designed to represent the multiple ethnicities of the British Empire; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
