Wizardly Wednesday


This fellow is Beorht, a wizard from "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court", an old episode of the original Transformers cartoon.  I dig his natty old patchwork of a green robe.  If I recall the cartoon correctly at one point he uses rat tails as a spell component.  Here's a close-up of Beorht with his owl familiar:

  1. As I recall, the kids from the D&D cartoon appear in this episode as background characters.

  2. Judging from the location of those patches, ol' Beorht has a tendency to drop stuff in his lap while he's workin' at the ol' alchemical lab bench. Yeeouch!

  3. He doesn't look like a wizard to me.

    What do you have to say about that, eh?

  4. I say "Well, what does he look like to you?"

  5. He looks like an insurance salesman or advertising agent *disguising* himself as a wizard.

    He totally looks like a wizard! You could show that to a hundred people, and at least 99 would agree that he looks like a wizard.

    Is this ideological?

  7. Oh '80s Cartoons, you guys love to add Wizards, Robots, and Hobbit-clones regardless of what genre you are doing.

  8. He looks a little like Saruman or Gandalf from the animated Lord of the Rings.

  9. Transformers doesn't skip on the space wizards. This one has tentacles.
