Jet Moto Solar design doc

[OskyCMK]

I found something VERY interesting. The Jet Moto Solar design document. It's off the website of George Rothrock. Apparently he was the Senior Producer/Designer on it. Essentially one of the masterminds behind JMS.

And here is the character bios.

This is very interesting and it has some track and character designs. It gives great insight into what could have been. My favorite part is the Jet Moto slang at the very end. They were so devoted to this one here it's so amazing.

Looking in Rothrock's website I found this logo of JMS

Holy crap this is a nice find. I'm gonna have to find some time to go through all this.

That's awesome! Thank you so much for posting this! I have never heard of this before.
This is so cool. I'm still reading all of it, but it's so interesting.

Okay, I have to say. I love the character Vibroflav! He just seems hilarious.
Also, is it just me, or does the clone Sinjin remind anyone else of Tetsujin?

PS. He looks Asian (again, reminds me of Tetsujin), but I found it rather interesting that Jeremy Irons was considered for his voice actor.

Vibroflav is hilarous. I'm reading the script for a interview scene in the Bios PDF and it is FUNNY. He keeps mentioning Vibroflav and this part is my favorite.

I have just the thing to settle your

ANUSHA
No you don't.
VIBROFLÅV!
Yes I do.
ANUSHA
No.
VIBROFLÅV!
Yes.

VIBROFLÅV!

ANUSHA responds with an annoyed, exasperated growl.

HAHAHAHA!!! That is Brilliant! Can't wait to read through all of this!

I skimmed through the character bios and notes....until I got to the slang....

My GOD! It's like that episode of Rocket Power where Otto and his fag-hags started coming up with new slang that ended up sounding like it came out of a 70's surfer movie with extra pot! I'm sure it would sound better out loud then it does in my head, but still....The constant reference to llamas...It's like Random Access Humor.

Other then that, the backstory and stuff sounds pretty interesting and I would have loved to have seen a fully voiced Jet Moto game.

...............WOW!!!!! how do you find that!!!, so, Tetsujin is back? No!, its his clone!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!

[Enigma]

Also Testsujin, Sinjin, two similar names!

I think I saved them on my old hard drive. I'll go look when I can.

[OskyCMK]

Found em! I uploaded em to my Dropbox. Dunno if the links will work. Still not too familiar with how Dropbox works.

Man I'm glad you- re-uploaded them, this is valuable stuff!

[Enigma]

Thank's a lot!

Hey, that's a really nice find! =D
But I don't think I would like to see Jet Moto with those wacky (weird in some cases) designs showed on these docs. The serious (or more close to reality) looking designs from JM1 and 2 looked so much cooler IMO.
Maybe it would fit as a spin-off title if the series had gone further.

Still waiting for a new installment, anyway.

I think you're right MateusAuri, it would be fun, but calling it Jet Moto would not be approppriate for it. Like Jet Moto 3, they should called it something else, like Jet Bikes, or Hover Motos, it would be a nice one, in that case, people would not hate it, since it would'nt be a Jet Moto sequel, and Jet Moto 2124 would have been released, as Jet Moto 3! The reason it was not released was because Jet Moto 3's gameplay was completly different : faster, larger view, etc... So, people didn't like it, but all the gameplays from Jet Moto 2124 seems to be playable the same way the 2 first games did! Just because of a change in the name, there would maybe have Jet Moto 10 today, with online multiplayer and stuff!
