Modo

Modo was once ( in the original serie ) portrayed as gentle, caring nature as well as the muscles of the trio of Martian Mice. Truly a person with big warm heart and quite smart one too in his own way of seeing things. Loyal to his bros and friends and never hurting them, always protecting them and giving a helping hand. His soft spot besides his friends were children. Though he didn't much seem to leave a damsel in stress either. x') He had good manners, he was polite and he at least had some manners too thanks to his old gray furred momma. :3 And he never ever was ashamed his nephew...

He had a chopper called Lill'Hoss which he treated like it was alive. It was purple-bluish bike with evolved A.I and weaponry and equipments of all sorts. :3

Dammit! I talk like he's dead or something!!!...

Actually he is sorta of dead in the new serie. The Modo who we all once knew is being killed and replaced with something un-Modo like character. O.O

Modo might have never looked the most handsome mice but his parody version is butt ugly. Not to mention that using Deathmaster-Modo hybrid as Modo2006's base would have been given much less heart-striking result. ^^' Before seeing Rimfire or Harley I kept Modo as the most ugliest BMFM2006 character. Seeing him using something that looks like kajal doesn't much improve the situation...

This new version's body has gone trough the same torture chamber treatment than all other mice have. His muscles are practically gone but yet he has been made bulky looking guy with silicon jaw and all... *cough* His tail is broken or something... Probably a last result of making otherwise cloned mouse to look individual. ^^'

What was the point to give mice claws? O.O'

Modo2006 has kept the earrings and the eyepatch over the left eye. His eye patch kinda hangs over the eye and it's not attached as well and tight as the real Modo had his. Deathmaster-Modo hybrid had that drawn to maximum secure since his eyepatch had been screwed in the head. x') That too would have been better option...

He has kept his teeth which he seems to be trying to get even by sometimes biting his metal arm's fingers... I highly doubt that Martian mice's teeth grow like beaver's does... Though I wouldn't be much surprising if this was the case.. after about we are talking about BMFM2006 where bad taste and bad plots flourishes wildly...

So the beaver.. Oopsie.. Modo2006 though there is no much difference, now is there, has also kept his bionic arm but it has been replaced with heavy looking oddly balanced clumsy looking thing. It seems to contain all kind of equipment like microphone, analyzer and god knows what... It's like Martian Swiss army knife attached on an arm! Now you probably ask does he still have that cannon, no he doesn't have a cannon, he has drilling pistol. Drillling = three barrel gun.

Main barrel shoots plasma or something that looks warm glowing worm... Second is unknown and one shoots that freezing gas... The gun tries to balance on the top of mechanical switch or something that looks very fragile. No offence but one shot on Modo2006's arm on that point and that gun is pretty much useless. Not to mention what happens when his arm goes to malfunction or the gas or ammo runs out from it. x')

Otherwise the arm seems to be imitating the movements of the real arm. Funny parts come when the hand is being modeled in the movement. It's anatomy is very much odd...

Modo2006 no longer seems to have bionic-eye or it too has gone to malfunction. <.<' That glow when he really got pissed off, that whirlling sound before the glow activated... More I still amaze how Throttle can have bionic eyes... But sure is that the one that Karbunkle tested is on Modo's right eye. O.O' Identical sound cookies. What more proof do you possibly need?

Modo's new outfit is a bit more of an outfit. Original Modo worn sorta of chest armor of some sort that had similar shoulder patch than the one that came with his right arm. I dunno how they have visualized the new shoulder patches. Knee patches he has thrown somewhere for some odd reason. At least I would have expected him to mind a bit more about safety when driving...

His new chest armor thing reminds now more of a top. At least there's kinda sticking out something that looks like parts of his original chest and back plates.

Did anyone ever paid attention in the original serie how Modo and Throttle had identical leather bracelets. Not anymore... Modo2006 has lend his new bracelet from the Gladiator movie. Where else?! Those boots look horrible and I just wonder who the heck he can walk normally with those elephant feet. O.O' I think that on the bottom of Spawn's boots the cylinder part was just build around the real boot. But not on Modo2006's boots... <.<'

I have once written that his helmet is like a box with some hammered form so let's not go back there. Indeed it is a box and squishing the very last shapes that he might have left in his face to flat form.

And here we come to his bike which is now trike, three wheeled clumsy looking thing that you might see at the go-cart race sliding backwards down the hill and causing lot of damage in the porcelain shop. ^^' It's dark blue-yellow... And obeys the name Hot Stuff.. wait a sec, that was not it... it was... Hard case?!

Lill' Hoss sounds more reasonable if you ask me... But Lil' Hoss the wonder of A.I and Martian technology has been trashed and replaced by a replica that I indeed wonder how it manages to push itself over the hills and across the dangerous looking cliffs.... Though lot more reason would be that bike would soon end down there so no wonder why Modo2006 more rather hangs a bit far from his bike when performing stunts... ^^'

I don't assume that there is much any weapons or gizmos in that three wheeled bike and it's for the ride purpose only. O.O' What use it is then for a mice in the middle of the war anyway?! Driving away is a bit weak comfort if you need to defend yourself with heavy fire...

Now we have analyzed that beaver's looks and his bike... Let's now look his mental side and behavior... It's useless to say that there's no difference when there is huge difference.

Modo2006 isn't as friendly and polite mouse as his original version was. Neither he doesn't seem to quote his Momma anymore. He seems to care less about his bros... and it's clear that he's ashamed his nephew Rimfire. No matter who speaks his voice the gestures are clear and it is not about Rimfire coming to replace Throttle, it's in personal...

He once might have been chivalric and gentleman but no longer he is that. Now he looks more trying to be a badly behaving teenager who can beat his own bros if he wants to. What's that all about, huh? Also he seems to be now a type of guy who squirms his way out if there's a damsel in stress who's not so pretty. WTF?! He doesn't even bother to much pay attention if he could help her.

Now he is also quite a regular jerk who has more muscles and who has forgotten how to use those brains... That is if he still has any left... Though I haven't much seen this beaver's use of brutal force to be anywhere on that that level that real Modo did... A guy who can carry two heavily armed bikes either he had artificial arm on other or not. x') This new one has done anything like that. O.O'

When Modo was once sort of big brother for everyone, now he is more one bif bother for them all.

About the voice actors... I bet the voice actors try their best but... Result is quite lame. Harewood doesn't reach the same feeling that the real Modo was I am afraid to say. Finnish voice dubbing is done by a person who sounds to be in permanent drunk. Whoever he is, he's horrible.
