LOOD GORD, HYPER ZETTON LOOKS AMAZING. And, ironically, he's under the control of Bat Seijin, the alien who brought the HIDEOUS second Zetton to Earth in Return of Ultraman!

And apparently the new Ultra may not be an Ultraman Legend-esque combo but a brand new Ultra being altogether?

Talk about overdoing what was once a great, simplistic, iconic design.

I don't consider the upward curve at the bottom of original Zetton's back carapace to be a tail, but I guess it could be. Here's two images of it:

Eh, it's close enough that I don't consider Hyper Zetton's elaboration to be any sort of sin.

I think my main objections to the tail is that it looks prehensile, which puts
me in mind that the people making the movie are kitchen sinking this newer
Zetton to make him more "interesting". Second the look of this new tail is
something I've seen before far too many times. Skeletal with sharp pointy
spikes. Perhaps I've been exposed to too many drawings of dracolichs and
similar creatures and this is coloring my attitude towards a skeletal tail, but
having it on Zetton just appears to be a lazy way of trying to make him look
more menacing.

LOL@the people complaining about the new Zetton.

Guys, we've had classic Zetton for years now. Whats wrong with a redesign?

I swear, I think some of you cling to the past a little too much.

"OMG TEHY REDESIGNED ZETTON EWWWWW THE CLASSIC 1 LOOKZ BETTER!!!11"

I like classic Zetton too, and I still love this new look.

Besides, its called "Hyper Zetton" not "Classic Zetton," so get over it. =/




Lets see, so far we've had:

Zetton
Zetton II
Powered Zetton
EX Zetton (love this guy to death)
Fire Zetton
Hyper Zetton

Wonder whats next? Mecha-Zetton? :lol:

:lol:

By the way, I haven't heard of Fire Zetton. Any images?

EDIT: OH, found one:

That's. Hmm. I think it could grow on, me, actually. Classic/Max Zetton is still the best version by far but I like having these variations on a common theme, honestly. Crystal Zetton (one of the runners up) looks interesting.

Oh. OH. But TOMATO ZETTON. I want that. Now. Get to that, TPC. Get to that fast.
