ok, i don't know where the link to the animation file went, but here it is again:

: things like slogans and catch phrases can't definitively be stolen, in my opinion. who knows who had that kind of thing first? GRTs robot has been named G-Force since 1998. There is a rookie team called "G-Force robotics." but i have heard people make reference to Gael Force as G-Force, which was around before GRT ever used that name. nobody meant to steal anything.
: as far as taking conceptual ideas, of course it always happens. many animation teams try to mimick elements of previous winners (sparks, bullet time). but thats the way it goes. you know the saying, goes something like "good artists borrow, great artists steal"
: PS. watch GRTv's 1998 animation. about 10 MB MPEG file
