Differences between Original and CGI series

Just a simple thing, but can anybody give me (or point me towards) a complete list of the changes between the puppet and CGI series in terms of how the characters have changed, how the Mysteron retaliation started etc. etc. I know that Ochre and Green become women and that Dr Fawn seems to become Dr Gold but that's about it.

I've sent you a character guide thingy...

War with the Mysterons started the same way, really - Black mistook a scanner probe for a weapon and opened fire. 'E panicked. Scarlet was on that mission with him this time round.

Rather than leave bodies lying around, the Mysterons now use them to provide the matter for the replicants.

Spectrum Cadet Johnson (Traitor) is the only guest character from the original series. He gets Mysteronised this time around.

Er...Cloudbase is now Skybase, and has other people on it than just the regular cast...

You seem to sum it up well with "The new CGI Spectrum now has more people doing even less." Heh.

Well, hmm, if when I send you those discs you can copy the CGI episodes for me I dare say I'll attempt to review them in my own impeccable style at the Vervoid before I leave for Uni...

Have only seen up to 'Virus', but here are a few observations thus far ...

Their first names are mentioned far more, in fact it's actually acknowledged characters aside from Scarlet and Blue have first names.

I guess you could just compare the character proflies on this site for details about the characters. Quite a few 'small' details have changed.

Black has been made 'more human', we got to know him a bit before the mysterons took him over. Suppose the main show of that was the thing between him and Destiny.

Destiny has a far greater role, and the relationship between her and Scarlet is right into romantic. Still at least they dropped the dodgy French accent.

Aside from Destiny the Angels seem to have taken a bit of a backseat. It's not been made all that clear who is who.

I heard there is a scene where lots of captains are chasing Black on Raid Bikes. Which episode and which captains?

I think, James C, that you mean a scene in 'Dominion'. Scarlet and Black (who Scarlet believes is out of Mysteron control) leap off Skybase on two colour-coded Raid Bikes, aiming to get to a shuttle launch site, so they can get back to Mars. Ochre and Blue follow them on more Raid Bikes.
I think this is it, but I did miss one episode... :cry:

1. The names of all the vehicles have changed,
SPV- Rhino
SSC- Cheetha
Angels One, Two and Three- Falcons Interceptors

Spectrum Helicopter - Hummingbird

2. There has been the addition of a transporter and bike, the Albotross and Stallion Raid Bike

3. Some characters have changed nationalities, like Captain Ochre now being Irish

4. The Angels launch sequence has changed. An Angel isn't ready for immediate launch like in the OS. All five launch together and form the "Angel Flight"

5. There are more female characters

6. Introducion of a Mysteron counter faction

7. Captain Ochre and Lt Green are now females

8. More addtional Captains, Orange, Indigo and Brown (The latter two both died in te original series)

9. Cloudbase has changed its name to Skybase and has four runways.

10. Sickbay seems to take up much less space aboard Skybase unlike the are it covered aboard Cloudbase.
