    i did appreciate how the author described the different ways animals thought

    like when they turned into ants, and there was just this constant screaming in their heads to do a specific task over and over and over

    I remember being addicted as hell to this series back when I was elementary school. I only read the books that were at my library, which wasn't much so I missed out on alot of the series. Those books were awesome.

    Megamorphs #1. Jake kept making fun of him for running into garbage cans.

    I liked when they said that if ants had nukes, they'd destroy the world in less than a week.

    that was weird, I haven't touched these books or thought about the plot in maybe ten years

    but seeing "Megamorphs #1" made me think of a tornado with teeth

    is that based on anything or am I going insane?

    That's right. The Veleek, Yeerk for pet. It was the thing Visser Three found on Saturn.

    I think the third or fourth book, the dolphin one, was the first book I ever read completely that wasn't for school. I freakin' loved those things.

    I remember being really pissed off about the ending to. the Tobias/Rachael thing just wasn't fair

    I really liked the ending. It wasn't happy, but it felt right. And I think Rachel wasn't going to have much of a future after the war anyways!

    Yeah, but Tobias was my favorite and he got shit on for the whole series, did his girl really have to die?

    The thing that bugs me about Animorphs is that there's so much untapped potential for new stuff. I mean, there's a lot of good ideas there, waiting to be picked up and turned into a kickass game or a movie or a comic or something, and it's just sitting there while stuff like the Spiderwick Chronicles gets made into a movie with the kid from the new Wonka movie.

    Give it another ten years. It took a while for Transformers to be made live action.
    Wait... bad example. At least the sequel looks somewhat interesting.

    Furries probably consider the Animorphs to be cheaters, so it all works out.

    I'm not too hot on someone trying a live action version again without a proper budget, but an animated series I would be all over.

    Jeez, I really need to finish the books I've missed.

    Yeah, an animated version would be sweet.
    Anyone else remember the Auxillary Animorphs, or was I the only person who read that far?
    For the people who don't know, they were
    crippled minors given the ability to morph. Because who'd expect a person in a wheelchair turning into a lion and ripping your limbs off?

    If I recall the yeerk at that point was mostly in agonizing pain from lack of Kandrona(What Yeerks need to survive). Also the rest of the group had him on 24-hour surveillance to watch for shit like that.

    Curse ye Geebs.
