{These names are seeming familiar to me; they aren't the same folks who were on a kid's animation a few years back, are they? (Feeling foolish for asking.) } Malibu's last action before being bought out by Marvel was the creation of an Ultraforce cartoon, featuring some of their major characters (Rune, Prototype, Hardcase, Prime) and a few new ones (I think); it also occasionally spotlighted some of their other characters (The Strangers and Night Man for example). I don't recall Firearm or Mantra showing up in the cartoon, but they might have - and could possibly have been mentioned in passing like The Avengers and the Fantastic Four often are in Marvel cartoons.
