So over at Gamefaqs, talking about TvC, Yatterman 2008 was brought up and how they seem to love sticking other Tatsunoko characters in as cameos. So I started to make screencaps of all the cameos thus far. Still need to do the two specials and Episode 26. Oh and 7 and 8 are missing because I just can't seem to locate any kind of video of these episodes. Episode 1: Daimao Statue http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/7616/yattermanep1tf6.png ????

The three rangers (coincidentally they resemble Ken, Joe, and Ryu only with Red, Blue, and Yellow Sentai outfits respectively) combine and turn into a flaming Phoenix to defeat "Berg Katse" after he grows in size http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/139/yattermanep22wr9.png http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/6969/yattermanep22bjb6.png Episode 23 More Speed Racer http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7573/yattermanep23vw9.png Episode 24 (Ah the infamous Politcal episode!)

Those look great, Cain! Thanks so much for posting them! I had only seen a couple of these before.

These are great! I hadn't seen most of them! Thanks so much for sharing, Cain!

These are new to me! Thanks for posting them, Cain!

Thanks for the links Cain.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't seen these before either...

Wow thanks for sharing these!!! i luv cameos! this is great list!!

Thanks for screencaps, Cain, they are amazing! By the way, there is a scene with a Gatch-cosplaying person in "Otaku no Video". And my favorite cameo in non-Tatsunoko videos is Mach-5 in "Drawn Together".

The cameos are so fun!!! Thank you for posting all of them

Love cameos!!

Ooh, more cameos! Hmm, I recognize Ken, and (I think) Speedracer, but no one else for sure...

Hi all! Well, back from vacation, and still trying to catch up on things, so I figure I'll tackle a couple of things here.

???? (Not sure who that character on the monitor is)

That's Guzura, from "I'm Guzura," a 1967/68 Tatsunoko series. The studio did a color remake of it in 1987/88.

???? (I don't recognize these guys at all)

That's the Kurodako Brothers, the villains from Muteking, a 1980/81 Tatsunoko series. And to add a couple of my own, here's one from Hurricane Polymer #18, where the villain was capturing people who were the best at various fields (The best ballerine, the best detective, etc.) and freezing them. You might recognize one of his captives. And, from Gold Lightan #29, while a couple of the Gold Lightan characters are rooting on their pretty teacher in a beauty contest, there are some familiar faces seated a couple of rows behind them. Enjoy! James

Thanks for the great cameos Cain and James! I really like the Nambu-sicle!

Wait a minute... Nambu took Ken and Jun to a beauty contest? Thanks for posting these, James! I'll add my own cameo/ This isn't Tatsunoko, but appeared in an episode of The Amazing Spiderman. Coincidence? You be the judge...

Which Spiderman was that, the 80s cartoon?

Oh these cameos are so much fun! Thanks so much for sharing them!

I had no idea that Nambu and the team spent some of their free time working as extras in other shows -these are great!

Originally posted by Cain Highwind Which Spiderman was that, the 80s cartoon?

I think so.... someone posted a Youtube link over a year ago. Of course, knowing Youtube, the ep is now gone... I'll take a look around for the original.

Neither did I. I guess this is what they do when Galactor isn't attacking

Thanks for posting that TJ! I remembered seeing a cameo of Joe in some cartoon but couldn't remember which one.

Hi all! I'm glad that someone had that shot of Joe and the fellow in the bird head T-shirt to post. I have that show on videotape somewhere, but haven't been able to locate it, or I'd have done it myself. It's from a 1982 episode of "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" titled "Along Came Spidey" (Retelling the origin of Spider-Man). When it first aired, that cameo caused a small stir among early Gatchaman fandom as everyone was trying to find someone who had recorded it. James

Thank you for posting all those cameos guys. These are great. I never knew our team was so popular.

Don't forget the guy on drug withdrawal wearing the shite shirt on the lower left... Also notice that it's really Ken's shirt, just with Joe's number?

Originally posted by Cain Highwind Which Spiderman was that, the 80s cartoon?

Cain, I checked. It was Spiderman and his Amazing Friends (the 80s cartoon). Of course, the Youtube link is long gone. Grrr.... But it was an episode where Spiderman fights Crusher Hogan in the wrestling ring. This is a shot of the crowd as Spidey goes in.

Ah ok, thanks, just curious. But wow, even Marvel was feeling a little envious huh?

Hi all!

Also notice that it's really Ken's shirt, just with Joe's number?

We noticed that back in 1982 as well... James

I'm loving these cameo shots!! Keep 'em coming! (well, if there are anymore, that is!)

I wonder if it was a mistake, or a way of avoiding copyright infringement issues? If it weren't so clearly Joe's face, I might think that Ken had been demoted!

Bwahahahaha! Lborgia, that is perfect!

Love it, LB!!!!

maybe the people needed one of these to keep it straight. LB I think your comic is amusing.

That was great, LB!!!
