I haven't heard or seen anything about them since somewhere around 1984. Until the Power Rangers came out. I was already too old to get them, but I always had to think about G-Force when I saw them. Of course, I was also a fan of the classic Japanese monster movie involving loads of latex. Cool. It turns out, I could have had my helmet-head fix AND my rubbermonster fix satisfied in one easy shot with the movie Inframan. It appears to be the earliest known sighting of the helmet-headed hero. A hero who goes on to fight rubber suit monsters. The trailer looks surprisingly familiar, and I suspect a Beastie Boys track layed over it might fit surprisingly well." Link
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
