Line #1 Trivia/Inhumanoids


1	* ExecutiveMeddling: Inverted -- when it became clear the toys weren't selling, Hasbro canned the line, but they still had a 13-episode commitment to fulfill. This led to the writers being allowed to do whatever they wanted as long as there weren't any complaints to the FCC.
2	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Unlike its fellow Sunbow shows such as ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', this show never got rereleased on DVD by Creator/ShoutFactory. There ''were'' previous DVD releases by [[Creator/RhinoRecords Rhino Entertainment]], but those only covered nine of the thirteen episodes and have since gone out of print.
3	** It ''did'' however get a complete series release on DVD in the UK, but sadly it's out of print now.
4	* PlayingAgainstType: Dr. Derek Bright, mechanical master and general BadassBookworm, is voiced by Richard Sanders -- '''[[Series/WKRPInCincinnati Les Nessman]]'''.
5	* ScrewedByTheLawyers:
6	** [[WordOfGod Per Aubrey Sitterson]], the Inhumanoids were supposed to appear in ''ComicBook/GIJoe2016'' (and therefore the ComicBook/HasbroComicUniverse), but when they sent in the script to Creator/{{Hasbro}}, it transpired that Hasbro had lost the rights, therefore any ''Inhumanoids'' characters couldn't be used, forcing Sitterson to rewrite the characters into the "Fatal Fluffies" (enemies from the 80s' ''Joe'' cartoon).
7	** Interestingly, IDW later published a comic that was confirmed to take place in the defunct ComicBook/HasbroComicUniverse -- specifically, a new ''ComicBook/RomIDW'' miniseries titled ''ROM: Dire Wraiths''. The miniseries featured the human cast of ''Inhumanoids'', albeit with slightly tweaked, copyright friendly names (such as Hank Armstrong instead of Herc). A few of said humans even make oblique references to facing "inhuman monsters from beneath the Earth".
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
9	** The [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kvsAfP0eynmpR99egbIZbckjjkJzwtiL/view first pitch]] for the series, the ''Force of Light'' from Marvel's Tom [=DeFalco=], was much different. The idea here was that meteors would begin to bombard Earth (here TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture) and the UN contacted Dr. Charles Gibson for help; on his advice, massive "light shields" are constructed around portions of Earth. They work, but then Gibson's geologist friend, Dr. Jason Bright, finds some of the shields have been sabotaged. While space aliens are initially suspected, he and Gibson's daughter Sandra instead discover the meteors have caused mutated beings dubbed "mutores" to arise; living BeneathTheEarth, they're determined to eliminate mankind and keep the meteors coming. Consequently, Bright and several allies construct "light helmets" so they can battle the Mutores themselves. Not much of this draft survived into the final product, with the name "Mutores" being reassigned to the creatures that battle and sealed the Inhumanoids away in the past, while Sandra Gibson evolved into Sandra Shore.
10	** Likely tying in with the above situation, the failed Hasbro experiment ''[[Trivia/Revolution2016 Unit:E]]'' reimagined the Inhumanoids as ''Primordia'', with different designs and potential to be a ChaoticNeutral; it's also suggested in story that they were what happens when you cross the fairies (as in, ''[[TabletopGame/CandyLand Princess Lolly]]'', for real).
