FEAR OF CHANGE I think there is a misconception here, most fans aren't that afraid of development for their favorite characters. They are afraid of been told unsatisfying stories for those characters. In this case having Man-at-arms turn into a snake man and dying at the end it's not the problem. Having him die in combat with Clamp Champ in a non transcend way it's. I have reimagined the scene in my toy shelf a little differently: --- King Hiss made Dunkan create the ultimate eradication weapon and it's ready to unleashed on the Ultimate Battle Ground against the Masters, at the same time Teela and a small elite group of guards advance on their position to try to stop them and to deliver an untested cure for Man-at-arms curse. Unfortunately she and the guards are defeated and the snake-men take the survivers to King Hiss so he can test a new repaired Serpent Ring on them. It's here when Duncan has a Vader moment, seen her daughter about to share his destiny something snaps on him and he quickly modifies something in the doom machine and turns it on King Hiss. I'm imagining him shoving a hose conector with several spikes like hypodermic needles into Hiss back so he can be injected with some mortal toxin (an ironic snake bite). When King Hiss feels the attack, he turns into his hidra form and several of his heads bite Dunkan. Still Man-at-arms continues resolved on his task. And as the last of the toxins go into Hiss, he has turned completely into a gigantic hydra snake. But it's too late, the monster is dying and crushing anyone unlucky enough to get in the way of his dead spasms. Several snake-men die this way. Fortunately, Teela manages to get away with his wounded father and administers the cure in hopes it also helps him fight the hydra venom. Unfortunately, it's not enough and Dunkan dies in her arms. But not before having a chance to say some feel last words and goodbyes. Duncan passes with the satisfaction of knowing he saved his daughter and that in his last moments he was a father and man. --- Any way... I have my personal tastes (who knows if anyone else likes my idea), hindsight, lots of time, and no pressure from a company to deliver a product. So I not complaining for what we got, I'm actually glad we got it and also glad that it helped keep MOTU alive so we can still get Masters of the Universe to this day.

The tooling likely does not exist anymore

I came across a highly detailed Man-at-Arms with chipped paint and dinged armor. It looked like a guy who salvaged power armor and was using what he found. It made be think of the suit in Castle Greyskull particularly the part of chest that sticks out in front of his face. I checked the an image of the castle suit. The chest piece matched very closely. It had the upper part jutting out and the air tank and hose. The armor armor matched as well with a similar bumpy design for the shoulder. The only thing real different was the foot armor but it did match a bit. Going with in information with the original bios, In my head canon, Man-at-Arms is in an organization sorta like the brotherhood of Steel from fallout. An organization that has passed down the knowledge of ancient technology from before the Great War. He doesn’t know enough or perhaps lacks the means to create new power armor but can make use of salvaged bits he finds in long forgotten places. If he were to gain control of castle Greyskull he would be very pleased with the tech within including a complete power suit. With this in mind, I think a complete power suit on a Duncan figure is in order. It would be a nice way to tell his story. Even just extra pieces that lets you cobble it together on your figure is a more ‘toyetic’ way to tell a story for an action figure. Adding or removing armor from your figure shows you hero’s power level and attainment. Man-at-Arms as head guard does him a disservice. He’s a master of the universe. A master of technology and uses that technology to be just strong as any other master of the universe. I think it’s things like making Man-at-Arms head guard makes the franchise more He-Man and less Masters of the Universe.

While I 100% agree with your narrative point (things MUST move along), I don't know that Anakin is the best example. Anakin had to move on to become Darth Vader, yes.....but I think a fair amount of people might argue that we would have been ok with Darth Vader just being Darth Vader and having the arc that he did in the OT. Seeing Darth Vader say "Weeeee!" wasn't a thing that was needed to move anything along. Lol I am an original MOTU fan and have been an active one over the years with Matty Collector etc. I have trepidation regarding the new series. It is hallowed ground for me, and while Kevin Smith has some entertaining movies his comic writing is spotty and meh. His post regarding episodes referencing different classic 80s movies made my blood run cold (I hope it was a joke, but feat it was not). MOTU has enough story, history etc. on its own.....I really don't want to see it used as yet ANOTHER dumping ground for pandering 80s references (outside of references to its own characters and vast universe). The over use of this referential narrative crutch just detracts from the real story telling and creates a sort of generalized false nostalgia.....more for an era than the thing in question itself. I want MOTU to be handled with the love and respect that people like YOU put into it....not someone looking to capitalize on a thing that he was adjacent to, but in past interviews admitted wasn't fully his thing.

I sold my 200x figures once i got into the Classics! Evil lyn was hard to get...but quit cause i couldnt get Faker and a few other nad guys. Glad i got into the Classics line when it was new!

This is one of the things why I am glad that MPTUC ended - Man-At-Arms returning as a robot makes his death and his sacrifice meaningless, imo. To clarify, I understand why you created Robot-At-Arms and I respect you for it as you were catering to the fans who hate change. I feel that a Robot-At-Arms would work if he isn't a carbon copy of Man-at-Arms, personality wise. Perhaps, a version who is having an existential crisis that he is a clone or one that has the belief that he can never be Duncan and grows from it by being a bit like Duncan, but also his own person. I feel that would bring new life to the character without having the same old Duncan back, but with an alloy skin.

If only Man-at-arms had the foresight to add GPS tracking to Roadripper. I could have figured out who stole mine 😞.

Score one more vote for the "against that development". Also, comics have epic stories and what not but Superman and Batman are still here just like they were in 1938 and 39. Shaking things up for just the sake of it isn't much better. Ultimately it didn't do Game of Thrones any good, for example.

While I agree that narratives need to evolve over time to have effect . . . "We fear change" -- yeah, pretty much this. A lot of fans just plain hate it when changes are made to their beloved franchises, especially if they seem arbitrary or unnecessary or cynical. See also: "TRUKK NOT MUNKY," the 1998 Devlin & Emmerich "Godzilla" movie, New Coke, Baltimore Ravens (formerly Cleveland Browns), New Disney Canon, Superman Red / Superman Blue, NoT Teh oRigiNaL foUr MiNi-cOmiCs!!!!1!!, "The Watch," that appalling recent "Jem" movie, et cetera. Creative types who do reboots / reimaginings should really take note of this. Also, I can now easily imagine Man-At-Arms salvaging the machine Modulok intended to use to transfer Duncan's knowledge into Modulok's second head (from the Filmation episode "Happy Birthday, Roboto") to use for his personality-copying into Robot-At-Arms. And now I have to add "Robot-At-Arms" to my Classics Wishlist . . . .

Wait. Hold up. Malcolm had amnesia before he met the Sorceress, with that established how did he forget he had a baby, with the Sorceress after she took care of him? I watched the video twice, to make sure I heard correctly. Did he get Thrakka boomed in the head again?

Malcolm had left the Peleezian village where he and the Sorceress met before he realized she was pregnant. She waited for him to come back to the village, but after a while she stopped waiting and returned to Castle Grayskull. That was all shown in the episode from the 200X series called "Out of the Past".

I really like what the DC comic line did with his story. He ends up going on a suicide mission to destroy the Horde's orbital weapon, and ends up having his corpse thrown into the slime pit where he comes back as War Wraith and sent to assassinate Adam.

I like to think of Fisto as Teela’s “biological” father and Man-At-Arms as the “real” father…. 😇 real is a “certain point of view” word in this context.
