147. Wormmon


Wormmon is a Digimon creature from the Japanese Digimon media franchise that comprises anime, manga, toys, video games, trading card games and other media.

"Wormmon" is the name that all members of this particular Digimon species share. There are several different Wormmon that appear in various Digimon anime and manga series.

Wormmon's name is derived from the word "worm", which is often also used as a term to describe the larval form of insects.

146. Gihren Zabi


Gihren Zabi (ギレン・ザビ, Giren Zabi?, also spelled Giren) is a fictional character, and antagonist from the universe of the Gundam anime series. He was voiced by the veteran seiyu, Banjo Ginga in the original Japanese version. In the English dubbed series and movie adaptations the character was voiced by Hiro Kanagawa and Doug Stone respectively.

American Rock musician Andrew W.K. dubbed a famous speech of this character in his cover album Gundam Rock released during the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise.

145. Cyclone Spinning Robot Drone


This Iron Man 2 Robot Drone is a freebie from Burger King. A Pasalubong from my brother Jun when he arrived from Kuwait for his Christmas vacation.

144. LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam.


LM312V04 Victory Gundam is the titular multi-mode tranformable mobile suit. It was featured in the anime Mobile Suit Victory Gundam. The unit was piloted by protagonist Uso Ewin, until he acquired its direct descendant, the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam.

Designed around a Core Fighter base, the Victory Gundam consisted of a "Top Fighter" and "Bottom Fighter", each of which could be separated and docked with a Core Fighter or operated via remote control from another Core Fighter. This modular/docking design not only increased the chances of pilot survivability, thus allowing a pilot to continue fighting if part of his mobile suit was damaged or destroyed, but also allowed for replacement of destroyed modules mid-battle if needed.
The LM312V04 Victory Gundam was the first mobile suit to incorporate the "Minovsky Flight" system, a miniaturized Minovsky craft system designed to keep the mobile suit hovering in mid-air at any altitude while maneuvering with its rocket and vernier thrusters. The Minovsky Flight technology would later serve as the basis for the LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam's much more advanced "Minovsky Drive."

143. Orangutan Musician


Planet of the Apes is a 2001 American science fiction film, based on Pierre Boulle's novel and a remake of the 1968 film of the same title. Tim Burton directed the film, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Giamatti, and Estella Warren. It tells the story of astronaut Leo Davidson crash-landing on a planet inhabited by intelligent apes. The apes treat humans as slaves, but with the help of a female ape named Ari, Leo starts a rebellion.
Development for a Planet of the Apes remake started as far back as 1988 with Adam Rifkin. His project nearly reached the pre-production stage before being canceled. Terry Hayes's script, titled Return of the Apes, would have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, under the direction of Phillip Noyce. Oliver Stone, Don Murphy, and Jane Hamsher were set to produce. Creative differences ensued between Hayes and financier/distributor 20th Century Fox. Chris Columbus, Sam Hamm, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and the Hughes Brothers later became involved.

With William Broyles, Jr.'s script, Tim Burton was hired as director, and the film was put into active development. Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal rewrote the script, and filming took place from November 2000 to April 2001. Planet of the Apes was released to mixed reviews, but was a financial success. Much criticism focused on the confusing ending, although Rick Baker's prosthetic makeup designs were praised. Despite its financial success Fox chose not to produce a sequel, and instead rebooted the Apes franchise altogether with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

140. Toby Tortoise


I believe this Turtle character is from the Toy Story 3 Movie. I certainly hope so because he's such a cute character.

Toby Tortoise is one of the titular characters of the Silly Symphony, The Tortoise and the Hare. He's the primary rival of speedy Max Hare, but he finds a way to beat him by taking his time. He also makes a cameo appearance in the 1988 Touchstone Pictures/Amblin entertainment film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
