I've been following the Unpicked1 across youtube ever since 2009 and I have to say that I love his work surrounding his character, Turbo. Wayne Wilson is a World War 2 veteran was given a chance to walk again after he suffered a serious accident years ago which involved his transformation into the robotic superhero known as Turbo. A tryrannical being formed out of the same material Turbo is made of (gloport) called Ramsies who planned on enslaving humans under brutal hardships, was defeated by Turbo after the death of his wife, Lacy Wilson. The shorts on the dvd take place around 20 years later and we see Turbo coming face to face with Ramies' son, Hazar who plans on killing him. It's a character study of Abraham Lincoln, Optimus Prime, and Superman combined in a blender. Turbo longs for nothing more than to find his place in society as well as wanting nothing more than to be with his wife in the afterlife and to keep all of humanity safe from enduring more harm than the Earth itself can endure. The concept is engaging (as long as you also know the history of the character on riddlecomics.com) and the music, maya animation, and voice acting all done by James Daniel Riddle himself are all superb. The dvd features the only 2 short films (or episodes) of Turbo ever created so far, early animations, and other exclusives not seen on youtube. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for awsome rare superhero material with deep spiritual insight. One day Mr. Riddle wants to make a feature length film based on Turbo, and I just pray for and support him all the way in his quest.
Oh and on a reminder in case any confusion becomes abrupt, Turbo's powers include indestructability, he can lift objects that are beyond his size, he can fly, he has enhanced hearing and increased sight, and he has boots that gives him the ability to walk or stand on air or in the middle of space.
