I am SUCH a geek

I find it amusing that Hurricane Dean is messing up the schedule of Shuttle Endeavour. I wonder if Ace, Baron and Cross are involved too?

I don't get the reference...

Surprisingly, a Google search for [Ace Baron Cross Dean] returns this blog entry as the first result already!

In 1999-2000, the Microman line had five big "Robotman" toys named Ace (often mistransliterated as Eisu), Baron, Cross, Dean and Endeavor. There were also a few Acromonsters to fight them. Ace, Baron and Cross were pretty much the same bodies with different heads and weapons. Dean was made up of five air vehicles that regular Microman figures could drive, Endeavor of five construction vehicles. The combined Dean and Endeavor were powersuits for a single Microman.
