BTW here's the real cover

Yep, that's the cover of the copy of #5 that I have. It's actually the first Animorph book I read, which might partly explain why I like Marco books so much.

In which book did Tobias and Rachel first kiss? It was in The Illusion. Right?

I wish the books focused on the character's personal lives like The Departure and The Illusion and The Capture did more often.

The Tobias-Rachel romance was one of my favorite things despite not getting enough time to see develop.

Actually it was they kissed first in Elfangor's Secret, when they get to Princeton. Very quick and unromatic, but there's a kiss there

The Yeerks' Dracon Beam is meant to have a slight different sound to the original Andalite Shredder when firering.
On the Andalite Chronicles it was one sound, written a different way to the 'TSEEEEEW!!' of the Dracon Beam. Then on #18: The Decision it sounded just like the Dracon Beam (was written just like it). And furthermore, on #38: The Arrival it was again written the same way. Yet Aximili spotted a difference in the sound and recognized the Shredder.
Does anyone know the sound from the Andalite Chronicles I am talking about?! Should they have kept it.

Heheheheh! Yeah!!!
That was it!
I think the Ghostwriters or whatever just didn't follow up on it.

It's similar with the animal roars sounds and Hork-Bajir and Taxxons screams.
Like, I think when Tobias was captured, he heard Hork-Bajirs get amped up with "Ahhhgggg-ggghhhaaaa!" or something. Where else in the series do they write the HBajirs like that??? I mean, I remember making those sounds, but really just sounding like some Arnie movie line.

Was anyone else a little thrown by the fact that the woman they rescued in the first book, to my knowledge, was never mentioned again? I know it was their first mission, but still. It's like... <Welp, an entire alien armada is out there to who will make it their sole intention that you can't tell anyone what's happening. Oh and anyone you ever knew could turn you in. Best of luck to ya.>   ???

Not EXACTLY. She talks about Schwarzie, but she doesn't say 'governator', because that occurred after the books were written.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Terminator turns Resuscitator.   :P

There were a few more too, a Marco & Ax conversation comes to mind.  "Who is this Schwarzenegger?" - "Schwarzenegger is the man!" - "What man?"  Something like that. 

We need some more Ah-nold quotes here.  He's always entertaining.

"You're a CHOIRBOY compared to me!  A CHOIRBOY!"

"I hope you left enough room for my fist because I'm going to RAMITINTOYOURSTOMAC H!"

"Sir, are you a henchman?"

"STAPP WHINING!"

"My all-time holiday classic, JINGLE ALL ZE VAY!" (Okay, that one's from Conan O'Brien Arnold.  Whatever.  Close enough.)

On that note:  http://www.ebaumsworld.com/soundboards/play/1879/    So awesome.

Anyway, just a little off topic.  I guess.  Totally worth it.

Hahahahah! You got me losing it with laughter remembering all those quotes. Yeah, me and my friends have had quality time playing with that piece of gold that is The Arnie Soundboard. Heheheh!
Yeah, I knew Arnie had been mentioned in the series.
Also, I recall Marco saying Arnie would be jealous of the arms he could get while morphing into a gorilla. Heheheh.

NGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ARRRRGH!!!!
