MAXIMATOSIS
Maximatosis here! Known by my enemies as the megalomaniacal mutant half–man half–rabbit who’s fascinated by animal genetics. I’m a collector of endangered species if they aren’t endangered now on Earth they soon will be ha ha!!

FROG
A jolly good day to you earthlings, my name is Zzzpphb-wwwebozwephband I crash landed here some time ago whilst tracking a number of parasitic aliens across the Universe. Back home I'm one of the very best inter-stellar eco cops out there, the problem is I just can't get back home which is good for earth and good for you...

CURTIS
Hey brothers and sisters my name is Curtis and although I may look like a ninja assassin to the untrained eye, I'm actually Clay’s judo instructor. I make sure he stays out of trouble and continues with his studies of the ancient artform. He's like my son!

CLAY
Hey thanks for taking time to check out my profile. As you know by now my name's Clay and together with my little sister Chloe, Curtis and Frog we are about to go on a series of amazing adventures and with a bit of luck foil a heap of dastardly eco plots down here on Mother Earth. Come and meet the rest of the team and even a baddie or two...

We need your insight! Write comments, suggestions or just plain anything here and we’ll see to it that your voice is heard:
Utility belt
Utility belt – can carry a given number of gadgets, his light meter is of high importance due to the light sensitive nature of TGM's DNA. As a result of his plant D/RNA he gains greater strength during higher intensity light.
Trowel
Trowel – the mother of all Swiss Army type tools. this amazing piece of kit looks like a normal common and garden trowel but underneath its cold steel exterior lays a plethora of secret technology.
Super sticky gum
Super sticky gum - based upon spider or sticky properties of spider webbing. The only thing is TGM can also get stuck by the gum if he spits it out, the gum doesn’t taste very nice and it makes him squirm when being chewed. It does however need human exocrine enzymes to make it work, salivary amylase triggers a chemical reaction...the gum only covers a small area but is an extremely sticky blob. TGM can cover an opponent’s eyes, blinding his assailant, or smother a weapon or a small bomb, prevent an assailant from escaping
Chloe’s lipstick ‘eel’ stun gun
Chloe’s lipstick ‘eel’ stun gun – more a self–defence gadget than a spy gadget but just what the team needs to get out of a spot of bother. This crazy lipstick Stun Gun is 4 inches long and whacks a whopping 350,000 volts into its victim and has an in–built LED torch to blind your post–zapped supine assailant. Thankfully Chloe’s lipstick gun is not lethal, but it certainly packs a punch and can stun it’s victims for upto 3 hours.
Spy Camera Sun Glasses
Spy Camera Sun Glasses - also double up as a form of two way communications. The sunglasses not only provide protection from UV light they also protect the team against air borne dispersants and smoke bombs
Skunk defender grenades
Skunk defender grenades - chemical activation of plant volatiles, potent stink and smoke bomb. TGM can only carry 4 SKUNK grenades on his utility belt, although very small they pack one hell of a punch.
Porcupine over suit
Porcupine over suit – the porcupine or caterpillar over suit idea is still in development by Chloe and Frog. It prevents TGM from being grabbed – spikes pop out AND gives him the ability roll down–hill in complete safety.
Naturecopter
Naturecopter – reusable pocket sized glider with paper thin wings, based upon sycamore seed which rotates when falling to earth, TGM can carry up to 1 foldable NATURE copter per belt. Great for escaping from high places or simply having fun.
Climbing serum or sun dew drops
Climbing serum or sun dew drops – based upon same sticky chemical formula from the pads of naturally growing ivy. These small tic tac size caps help the team where climbing is needed. Although TGM doesn’t stick to it due to his RNA, small amounts can be squirted onto the sole of shoes and gloves to give him extra traction or grip.
Chewing Gum Wrapper Spy Camera
Chewing Gum Wrapper Spy Camera - now this is just downright sneaky, covert and…well we love it! This neat little spy camera fits into a chewing gum wrapper and records video and audio. It has a Mini SD card slot for up to 2GB of memory. Just think you might want to choose an unpopular brand of gum to insert it into or your cover will be blown as quick as you can say, “That’s my gum”

You're the boss! Vote below for your favourite TGM storyline. The one with the most green 'thumbs up' will become Clay and the gang's first adventure!
TIME TRAP
When the TGM and the team head off to stop the Carbon Cowboy’s latest scheme, they realise they have walked into a trap – but it’s too late. The Carbon Cowboy has bent space and time and the team are launched a hundred years into the future – safely out of his way. When they get there, they see the damage that the Carbon Cowboy has done to the world... And it’s a world where his species has become the dominant force. TGM and Curtis must protect themselves from these vile creatures, while Chloe works out how to get them back. But time is running out, the more hostile atmosphere they are now in, is poisoning Frog... and they don’t have long. When they return, they realise more than ever, the importance of stopping the Carbon Cowboy.
THE GRONK
TGM is getting ready for the Eco Masked Ball. A big fancy dress affair that he really hates going to. His preparations are interrupted when a call comes in that a lot of major rivers are being poisoned. He rushes to the scene only to find himself face to face with... well, quite an attractive and pleasant girl actually. For a short while they seem to be bonding; that is until he discovers her ability to spit poisonous mucus and attain dark powers from toxic potions. She’s The Gronk, a dangerous alien witch girl. He manages to thwart her attempts and she rushes away. Despite her obvious evil intentions, he can’t help but feel that she’s a victim in some way. Plus there’s a small bit of him that kind of wishes he could see her again. So you can imagine his surprise when at the masked ball he recognises a voice and realises that his wish is about to come true… but he’s forgetting about the toxic potions…
RECYCLED ROBOT
The team awake one morning to find a huge re-cycling drive taking place. There are posters, fliers and shiny new re-cycling vans collecting glass, metal and white goods. They are even more surprised when they find that the person behind this sudden eco onslaught is none other than the Carbon Cowboy himself! So has TGM’s nemesis turned over a new leaf? Or do those HUGE footprints and trail of destruction TGM and the crew keep finding, hint at the truth behind his motives. Their suspicions are confirmed when the trail leads them to a giant Robot fashioned from bottles, cans and old electrical appliances and programmed for destruction!
PANDA-MONIUM
‘There is very little in the world more stunning than a panda,’ says Maximatosis. ‘Especially stuffed and adorning the rooms of my headquarters like a fat, fluffy terracotta army!’ When Maximatosis focuses his ‘collecting eye’ on the giant panda he decides he wants them all. Then he wants them stuffed, except for the last two which will make the perfect addition to his collection of endangered species. The TGM must use all his combat survival skills as he goes deep into the jungle to protect the panda and find Maximatosis’s new headquarters...Before it’s too late. This would be difficult enough, but when you’ve got Frog and Curtis along both trying to prove that they know the most about the jungle, things get more than a little chaotic. [Frog can be telling everyone how much this is like his own planet, Curtis can keep telling Frog that he’s not Yoda and he’s seen everything Ray Mears has ever done on telly.]
INVASION OF THE OXY SNATCHERS
When there is an invasion of parasitic aliens, the authorities can’t cope. Strange parasitic creatures drift down into the atmosphere (we’re thinking something a bit like jellyfish, but drifting through the air rather than water). They blast out a toxic gas as protection, which seems dangerous enough, but Frog has seen these things before. They’re from the same region of the galaxy as the Carbon Cowboy, they are a mindless organism that the Carbon Cowboy’s species use to colonise a planet and make them suitable for their kind converting the planet’s oxygen to carbon dioxide (kind of like the reverse of putting oxygenating weed in a pond). With the information from Frog’s ship computer, TGM and the team head out to stop the invasion before the Earth is suffocated by the rapidly changing atmosphere.

Fancy creating your own character and showing it to the world? If the answer is YES then just pick up a few felt tip pens, a crayon, a pencil or biro (anything really!) and create something all on your own. The Gallery is where all the magic happens and where you get the chance to vote on your own creation and others too. Who knows, your artistic creation could become the next hero or villain Clay and the gang encounter. If you are under 13 years you’ll need the help and permission of an adult to upload your FAB character to facebook. Simply leave the rest up to us here at TGM HQ. Doesn't get much better than that!
