Can anyone remember which episode it is where the team gets their figurative and collective arse handed to them by some kind of freeze/cold weapon? And is that the same ep where the individual vehicles are modded so they can all do the firebird thing? Or is that a different one? I'm smack in the middle of Mental Blank-ville over here.

Episode 67 Mortal Blow! Gatchaman Fire is the episode that results in the new weapons for all the vehicles, but it's not the freeze weapon one. Episode 57 The Evil White Sea, where the old sniper gets recruited by Galactor to shoot the team with a freeze gun might be the one you are thinking of? If you go to the Episode of the Week part of the forum you'll see the (awesome) detailed descriptions of each episode. That might help you find the one you're looking for.

Hi all! And it's episode #58, Hell's Mecha-Buttha, that introduces the Hinotori Kage Bunshin. James

And then there is also the episode where the Eagle uses a mini freeze bomb thingie to destroy a Mecha and gets caught on there (I can't remember which one it is either)

Thanks, Madilayn and James!

I believe that's episode 22 - The Firebird vs The Fire Breathing Dragon

22 is one of my favorites. It's (in part) something about the Eagle's reaction to being sure he was going to die. I definitely seem to have a thing for the poor guy being in peril.
