If everyone can stand another challenge, I thought this might be fun, if it's not been done before: Your character(s) from any incarnation Gatch, BoTP,etc. awake one morning to find out their vehicle (i.e. Ken/Mark's plane, Joe/Jason's car, Jun/Princess's motorcycle, etc, etc.) has become human (male or female, totally your choice). What happens next is up to you! (And yes, the title came to me from the Doors song of the same name).

When Jason entered the garage, he found a man in a leather jacket and jeans lounging where his car, Sweetheart, had been parked. The man's hair was cookie monster blue and he had a red 2 on the T-shirt under the jacket. "Jason," the man said in a voice that somehow sounded like the purr Sweetheart used to make when he started her up. "I'm really sick and tired of you referring to me as 'Sweetheart'," he said. "As you can see, I'm not female. 'Dude' will do just fine."

LOL. Love it Becky! You should expand on this one! I'd love to hear Jason's comeback to "Dude".

So I can see that everyone is thinking Condor... EW, why does Joe's 'car girl' sound like Smurfette?

Originally posted by Transmute Jun EW, why does Joe's 'car girl' sound like Smurfette?

I hadn't thought of that. Although, now that I think of it, I'm not sure Smurfette would hold up so well...she is only three apples high, after all! (The poor girl would be ripped to shreds in a moment of passion!)

http://youtu.be/9veBZk1kD5Y Billy Racing People say its parody of Initial D and some other Japanese animations. But it was funny enough though I don't know about them.

BR-I think G2 is male referring to its virile design. EW- At first it was romantic, but the last it's like some kind of horror movie! Poor Joe! Nambu should have known her existence before he give G2 to the Condor!

EW: Joe better watch out for those chrome teeth! Ouch. And this woman reminds me of the green dancing slave girl from the original Star Trek.

Ken or Ryu would be a fun one too! I think Joe is ...uh...very in tune with his car.

(What is it with you and smurfs this week TJ? LOL).

Could you imagine what would happen if Joe tried to explain to Nambu what happened? LOL. Or him trying to explain the situation to Ken?: "Uh....this morning I found a naked chick where the G2 was parked." "Don't you mean you found a naked chick in the G2 where you left it the night before?"

...And why does she smell like car exhaust and motor grease?

I hadn't noticed the horror movie aspect until you pointed it out! I guess, deep down, I don't believe Joe could ever have a perfect romance. (Poor Joe!)

Originally posted by ElectricWhite ...And why does she smell like car exhaust and motor grease?

So much for perfume! LOL. Here's mine. And nope, it's not Joe. It was a beautiful sunny day outside, the sky filled with fluffy white clouds. The birds were singing and bees were buzzing, bumbling from flower to flower. There were never any kids around here to play with Jinpei thought to himself. None that he could really relate to anyway. Normal kids just didn't get it- even so it wasn't like he could tell them what his "job" was anyway. After wolfing down his breakfast Jinpei rolled up the door to the garage, thinking on taking out his buggy for a spin. He wanted to be gone before Jun woke up and gave him hell for leaving her at the Snack alone for the morning rush. What met his eyes was nothing short of surprising. He blinked, numerous times. Instead of his orange buggy, sitting cross legged on the concrete floor, was a skinny blonde pigtailed girl playing jacks all by herself. From the looks of her, she seemed to be about his age. Perched upon her head was a red baseball cap, the bill facing sideways. It had a large number 4 emblazoned on its front. She wore brown corduroy flares and a yellow t-shirt. A bright orange denim jacket topped everything off. (Hey it's the 70's ok. LOL). At the noise, she looked up and scooped her jacks into her pocket with one swipe. She had freckles across her nose. And she was chewing a mouthful of pink bubblegum. They studied each other. She snapped her gum at him. "Who...who are you?" Jinpei asked curiously, eyes narrowing. "And why are you in our garage?" "Don't you know?" she asked him, fighting back a snort. Jinpei just shook his head at her . "Ugh. Boys can be so stupid!" she replied wrinkling her pug nose. "I'm Katie." "I'm Jinpei" "I know that." she quipped rolling her eyes. "Don't I look the tiniest bit familiar to you?" Jinpei frowned. Katie sighed. "Don't you remember how I stalled out on that last mission? Right before the Galactor compound blew up? If I didn't do that you would have gone inside and been blown to bits!" Jinpei's mouth dropped open, disbelief on his face. "Wanna go to the park to play ball?" She asked stuffing her hands in her pockets. "Or maybe skateboard? I'm getting really tired of being cooped up in here all the time with nothing to do!"

RB -- Awwww, how cute! I can just hear her yell, "You think you're hot snot on a silver platter, but you're just a cold booger on a paper plate!" the next time Jinpei ticks her off.

EW - I guess it's a good thing the 'G-2" isn't jealous of Jun. Ask Springie to draw a pic of her. TJ - Smurfs! Ugh! RB- I would like to see Jason or Joe try to explain their new friends to the others. A girl with pigtails works perfectly for Jinpei.

I started to write another, but it quickly went to R, so I'm starting a Rubber Room section.

Well, Springie, do you have a few moments to spare?

Maybe Toy Boy Smurf is on vacation and she's missing him!

Yeah, I can see her calling Jinpei a "boogersnot", too. I think she's a bit tomboyish and wouldn't hesitate to give him a piece of her mind if she was ticked off. LOL.

It would make for amusing reading, that's for sure! Hmmm.....something to think about.....

Heheh.

...together they fight crime!

Funny, Victoria!

ROTFL! I love the rockets on the butt!

Looks like I'm a bit behind here...sounds like fun! I can definitely put it on my to-do list... Victoria- that pic is fantastic! I am cracking up at the rockets on the butt, too! I'm wondering how she fires a "Jun missile", now?

Becky- "Dude" had me cracking up- Joe's had it all wrong the whole time! EW- The blue and chrome killer woman makes me think of Mystique from the X-Men! Redbird- Awww...love that "Katie" saved Jinpei's life. Hope he'll be extra nice to her!

Just found this little piece of awesomeness over at Deviant Art- from an artist who calls himself "Mecha-Zone". It ties in so well with this thread (not quite a human GP-but close enough)- wish these were in stores!

Neat! Kind of like a God Phoenix transformer...

Well, I'm glad to see the prompt it still garnering responses! Victoria: I love that pic! Especially Jun's "To infinity and beyond" pose. "Together they fight crime!" You could make a comic series out of that. LOL. Springie: Thanks! I had fun writing that one. Jinpei better be careful, if he ticks Katie off, she might shove a marble up his nose or something! And that pic you posted from DA does kind of remind of the Seekers (Starscream, Thundercracker, RamJet, etc) from Transformers. The guy who drew it has a lot of talent!

That drawing is beautiful. The God Phoenix is a Transformer.

Originally posted by Redbird Victoria: I love that pic! Especially Jun's "To infinity and beyond" pose.

Thanks a lot! That's exactly what I was going for. At first Jun was supposed to have the same expression as her 'bike', but as I was doing the final adjustments on the pencil sketch, it occurred to me that this was way better. I think this is the first colour gatch pic I did since that kid-Eagle (I've been doing some non-gatch watercolours lately). And it's all because of EW. (actually, when she first mentioned the 'you make me real' challenge, I first thought she meant the rubber room one. I've read it and went: What?!? Then I found the other thread, but the image of Jun ...eh... riding her bike kind of stayed with me, so it's Becky's fault as well)

Well, Victoria, if you insist on blaming me, I guess I have to just take it gracefully!

That's great, Victoria! Going to make things a little awkward the next time Ken needs a lift though...

Originally posted by lborgia88 That's great, Victoria! Going to make things a little awkward the next time Ken needs a lift though...

I can't come up with a reply that wouldn't go straight to the Rubber Room!

And what's wrong with that EW? Go for it! Victoria: Heheh. Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase was the first thing I thought of when I saw your drawing!

These were a lot of fun to read! I love the idea of Jinpei having a pigtailed girl as the embodiment of his buggy. I would love to see a fic about her. And that Phoenix transformer is gorgeous!

She just seemed to fit somehow. Jinpei probably needs a friend that can be just as bratty as he is. Hmmm.... you know, I never thought about writing a fic for Katie. I might need to add that to my multitudinous fic list. No promises but we'll see what happens.

Since it was Princess, I'll say Mark doesn't look all that upset being on the bike. Maybe he likes to watch or swings both ways himself.

Becky: As Jason wakes up screaming from his nightmare EW: Oh ho ho, the truth comes out!!!!! Rachel: That is ... is ... I don't even know how to respond to that, LOL Redbird: You know, that's kinda perfect Victoria: That's pretty awesome If a little undignified! Springie: That really is a pretty perfect translation of the GP into a humanoid mecha

Thanks, CW. I'm kicking around the idea of writing another little piece with Katie and Jinpei.

Redbird: If that's what's speaking to you, go for it.

Here's a little bit more to my entry here: Jason looked at the man, then raised the clear empty glass bottle in his hand. "This is the last time I get moonshine from Tiny," he said. "My car is not a 'Dude'. Dude watched as Jason walk away, muttering drunkenly to himself. He sighed unhappily. He'd hoped this would have gone better. "I wonder how Zoom is doing with Princess?" he said, hoping to catch Jason once he'd sobered up.

Poor Dude, Jason is very committed to his Denial ...

Yeah, you know the old saying: "Denial is not just a river in Africa!"

Originally posted by Becky Rock "I wonder how Zoom is doing with Princess?" he said, hoping to catch Jason once he'd sobered up.

"Zoom". ROTFL. And if Dude tries to talk to Jason later on, you know Jason is going to think Dude is coming on to him or something.

Dude could always make his point by reaching up through the seat while Jason is sitting at a red light...

ROTFL, Becky! That's something that just about begs to be written!

I would LOVE to see Jason try to explain that resulting wreck.

[unrecoverable text]

Check out straight-laced Mark going with the flow! Heheh. And I love the visualization of his sandwich falling from his mouth and hitting the floor! Perfect! * I had an idea for Ken (and Joe too), but never wrote it.

For one reason I wanted him to reclaim some innocence
