▪︎ HAPPY 9TH ANNIVERSARY TO GO JETTERS !! ☆ ART COLLAB

On October 26th, Nine whole years ago, Go Jetters aired its very first episode !! If you know me, then you know that this show means the world to me, and on this day especially I want to send so much love and thanks to everyone who worked on this show, and all of the wonderful people I’ve gotten to meet in the community. You’re geographic !

And a massive thank-you to everyone who participated in the art collab, which I hosted !! Everyone’s parts turned out amazing- credits in the image!! I drew the grimbots for this, in addition to hosting! (:

Don’t forget- maybe one day, they’ll be zooming through the clouds above you!

I’ve always found the way the Go Jet Academy is structured to be really fascinating, especially in terms of the focuses- or really, the lack of them. Canonically speaking, there are only 5 (Pilot, Sport, Engineer, Strat, Ecology), and that already doesn’t match up with the much wider variety of staff we see on-campus, as well as the studies and teachings going on. So I wanted to take a crack at expanding upon the idea a little bit, by changing one factor- broadness.

The names used for the GJA tracks are never really consistent- Lars’ focus has been listed as engineering and mechanics in different places, and Foz’s has gone from “genius”, to “science”, depending where you look. Not to mention, the pitch bible also calls Lars a botanist, while in s3 Tala is introduced as an ecologist. So what’s the fix? Changing the wording, because technically, canon never actually defines these boxes, and how tight or broad they are.

Instead of hyper-specific roles, my pitch is that each colour of uniform indicates a “track”- a broad group of studies, each of which revolve around a particular topic. Each track links back to the Academy’s goal, of learning about the Earth, and helping to preserve it. This allows for two cadets to be under the same track, but studying two different things, kind of like a “major” system !

I also wanted to add more tracks alongside the original ones- there’s no way the Academy doesn’t teach more, and these are just some of my ideas for other fields of study, as well as their associated colours and logos. Some of these tracks come from the fact that we see teachers for them, others felt like a natural fit for the academy based off of canon context, and episodes.

All of these ideas and concepts are free to use ! If you repost this graphic, just be sure to tag me (:

This is a surface level dive into some of my ideas revolving around the academy, it’s education system and the tracks, so if you’d like to hear more, please do let me know !! I’ll post a more in-depth explanation of the system itself, as well as each of the 11 tracks if enough people are interested !!

Bonus transparent version of the track info plaques because I think they’re pretty cool (:

Some art I did of my second-favourite cbeebies show!!!! (Go jetters).

Seriously though this show is genuinely brilliant, and it's so annoying that there's seemingly no future series coming out. I have been a big fan of the show since the day it aired (I remember waiting for about 3 hours infront of the telly just for it to start for the first time lol), and proceeded to have a huge obsession with it for about 2 years!!

Ubercorn is my fave, he is so awesome and lovely (and pretty much canoniclly gay at this point, which is awesome!!!). He is also extremely fun to draw which is cool.

Also I found a GJ magazine in a shop last year with the sweetest little grimbot toy in it aswell as glitch, and the grimbler (I think that's its name, it's the small ship he rides in), so I absolutely had to get it!! The magazine also had some very cool stickers in it which was awesome.

So, like, did Sonic genuinely think Shadow was dead for a brief period of time there? I'm not asking rhetorically; I'm genuinely confused.

He expressed shock at seeing him alive in that ravine and he counts him as one of his losses, but there's no one moment where we see him come to the conclusion that he's dead. He leaves for New Yoke with the intention of coming back with reinforcements but doesn't follow up on that plan and never asks about Shadow's whereabouts after returning to The Grim. He also never acts like he's under the impression that Nine's Grimbots took out Shadow, since he'd be far less friendly or at the very least more wary if that were the case.

Is Grumbot ever going to call Scar his dad as well? 🥺 (if only to pull the "you're not even my real dad!" on him)

Scar is Grumbot’s dad in everything but title— so is Cub, for that matter (and maybe bdubs). This robot can have so many dads.

Uhhh. Canonically, probably not within the time frame im writing in. But i think eventually, theoretically if they lived together for a a few months or a year, Grimbot might print off a message to Mumbo and ask “is Scar Dad 3” and Mumbo gets really flushed red but tries to explain that only if he want to call him that.

Now that we know scars power though, i can let you in on a secret: scar is able to change grumbot’s battery best because he can channel the best emotional energy for it to feed/absorb. If Grumbot has depleted most of its battery and needs a quick fix, he did tend to reach for scar more than mumbo or bdubs. Now that grians in the picture though, he reaches for grian bc he missed him a lot :)

Grumbot wanting to kill call that Grimbot

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I finished work early, thus I got home early, thus I had enough time left in the day to watch Sonic Prime season 3! And uh, it was fine I suppose. More of the same in a way, kids action show and all that. The way they managed to fill the season's runtime is just by having a lot of fighting, and I mean like grimbots getting bodied by everyone from every shatterspace, being brought back, getting bodied again, being brought back, etc etc. Goes on for a while. This is kind of the case with Prime as a whole but you could definitely shave off like half the total runtime of the series and not lose much of substance - in visiting the 3 major shatterspaces within the first season alone Prime kinda blows its load a little early and ends up meandering for a lot of the runtime. Oh well. On season 3 specifically again though I think the climax is reasonably solid, it's fun seeing every version of everyone team up a little bit, and then hey Sonic gets through to Nine in the end and all is well. Could've done without the sacrifice angle, I don't think it really added as much tension as it seemed to want to, but there's some decent Sonic and Shadow interactions to come out of it, so I'll take it - really minor thing in the grand scheme of things anyway so. There's a kind of openness to the ending that I actually don't really like, because it has a lot of bizarre implications; Green Hill - as the series perpetually refers to Sonic's world as - is treated as another shatterspace within that big void area, which is weird as fuck because why then did it specifically house the Paradox Prism when it's on the same level of alternate universe as every other shatterspace, also if it is on the same level then why aren't there other Sonics or Shadows, and what the hell is up with the Chaos Council, and all of these weirdnesses are amplified even further if you want to view the series as canon which hey, word of god seems to want it to be! Buuuuuut I'm just gonna try my best not to think about that. It's just a little easier that way.

Prime overall is probably the best serialised animated Sonic series, granted none of its competition is all too strong but hey, it still deserves some credit. I'd want to rewatch the entire show now that it's all out were I to try post more specifically defined opinions - certainly Prime had a lot of potential to do way way more with its premise that it didn't follow through on and that's a little disappointing, and Sonic himself really isn't the best incarnation of a character. But the show's fun, the action's good, feels Sonicy, and it's gonna get kids into Sonic. I'll take that.

SONIC PRIME S3 E1 SPOILERS

Okay so WOW!!

I knew Nine would be a formidable foe but holy shit he pulls no punches! I think the villain trope of kid with too much power is so so good when done right and the writers are killing it! Idk if he was intentionally trying to mess with Sonic's head by designing the grimbots to look like his friends or if he was just being resourceful, but yikes!! The robots all look super cool, and I need to see Rusty Rose fight Grim Rose asap.

The Sonic and Shadow bonding was delightful. I'm curious if as the season goes on, Sonic will start to prioritize Shadow like he's used to doing to Tails.

[gogojetters]

The grimbots and their place in the timeline is kinda weird to me. We don’t see them in any of the childhood photos of Glitch at the Go Jet Academy, but according to the S1 Christmas Special, he got his first ever Grimbot as a Christmas present, BEFORE he was ever a cadet at the Go Jet Academy.

A lot of people don’t consider the Christmas Special to be canon, but here’s my proposal, which kind of keeps the childhood flashback scene AND the lack of grimbots at the time of Glitch being a cadet intact, in a way that I think makes sense, and also allows for “glitch invented the grimbots” to somewhat coexist?

What if The first Grimbot Glitch ever got wasn’t a Grimbot? Not in the sense we know them, at least. My personal theory is that this was a toy robot of sorts. The only real functionality of it would have been exactly what we see in the episode- it flies, it can record voice messages. Naturally, he’s very attached to it- similar to his attachment to Cuddles, who we know he’s had for a long time as well. After being expelled from the GJA, he built his first Grimbot, using the parts from this toy for the physical body, making the more advanced code, tech and AI himself, in order to create the “perfect companion”, after losing Ubercorn. One that’s loyal to a fault, doing everything in his best interest. So with what little resource he had left after hitting rock bottom, the first Grimbot comes to light.

Making more came later, naturally, perfecting the tech and making alterations to the looks to be more personalized to the image he was making for himself, which explains things like the Grimbots having differently coloured buttons to the first Grimbot, and the expansion on abilities. Tweaking and nailing down the AI they use to think- likely a “learning AI” where they function under the objective of “what is the quickest / easiest way to accomplish (goal)”.

Reminder that this is all just speculation!

I suggest we call the new Grumbot Grimbot as a nickname

my reasoning

so far the fans seem to be leaving towards “this Grumbot comes from a darker reality”, so grim

two, swapping the U for an I makes it closer to Grian, and for now, we can’t tell how involved Mumbo will be with this grumbot

so

grimbot
