In the year 2021, Brandon "Big Boss"Babel freed five Inhumanoids...but the Earth Corps was indisposed battling theLunartixEmpire! Luckily, Ninja Gladiators are here to save us! At least, that was the story of the classic video gameNinja Gladiator,released byFlippy-Floppy Industriesin1987.
Presumably, there was a real Earth Corps in the 1980s who repulsed the actual Inhumanoid assault, under orders fromPresidentEdward Augutter:why else would the gamego out of its way to say they weren't there another time?The AllSpark Almanac II
Notes
- The Earth Corps were the heroes of Hasbro toyline andSunbowshowInhumanoids.Augutter was a member of the Corps, and in the final episode hedidrun for president (but didn't take the job). Presumably he was an Earth Corps member inAnimatedtoo.
- Via the clear presence ofAceas a character, references inJem and the Holograms,and the presence ofHector Ramirez,Inhumanoidswas casually placed within a wider "Hasbro/Sunbow-verse". This wasn't explicitly or canonically linked toTransformersuntilThe AllSpark Almanac IIcame along and, in anEaster egg,explicitly stated all Hasbro-related 80s cartoons were in canon with each other. This is whatfansdo when they get the chance, andyou love it(unless you're trying to reconcile all of it for the wiki).
- TheShattered Glassstory "Eye in the Sky"had a character refer to a past attack by the Inhumanoids. Whether there's aShattered GlassEarth Corps is unknown.
