MTV/1992

Transformer (1992-1997)


ID: The ident takes place in Japan, which was evident with the text "MUSIC TELEVISION" written in Katakana. As the camera moves closer to the MTV logo on top of the building, the MTV logo then transforms into a full-on Transformer. The villain (presumably) then ordered 3 helicopters to attack the Transformer by running into it, only for them to collide against each other and explode as the MTV transformer crouched on the rooftop. Another helicopter flies above it, then grabs the V in "TV" and used it as a boomerang, throwing it against the helicopter, exploding it in process. A light ray shines through the transformer which turns out to be the villain's jet, activated laser rays, which then started to shield itself by forming back into the MTV logo. The transformer then grabbed the T in "TV" next, which acts as a lightsaber of sorts, finally swerved onto the plane and explodes, and the ident ends.

Technique: Hand drawn animation by Brian Gaidry.

Music/Sounds: Transforming noises, helicopters, boomerang swooshes, explosions, laser rays, etc.

Scary Chinese Halloween (October 24-31, 1992)


ID: We see a background of rapidly changing images such as a skeleton clown and a black cat/bat. A skeleton is also shown, along with flying black cats with wings across the screen. Chinese text appears at the bottom of the screen with a jack-o'-lantern stretching across the screen. Then, we see an MTV jack-o'-lantern with the "MUSIC TELEVISION" text in Chinese. The "TV" portion falls off.

Technique: Photomontage by Beau Tardy.

Music/Sounds: An array of spooky sounds like cackling, creaking for the jack-o'-lantern, and a woman screaming at the end.

B World (1992-1997)


ID: In a city populated by B's, there is an observatory, as one of the B observed an extraterrestrial of sorts. The B observer then notified the B scientist that there was an extraterrestrial, which then lead to contacting the B President, then planned to engage a whole army of small letter B's. B rockets were shooting high, the radio tower is sending a signal, as many of the B's were panicking, as well as the B teacher and the B preschoolers, reaching towards the UFO. 3 of the small letter B soldiers were shaking their legs. When the UFO finally landed, the extraterrestrial the B observed previously turned out to be a big purple letter M, with two other letters T and V in, forming to resemble the MTV logo.

Technique: Hand drawn animation by The Ink Tank.

Trivia: The plot was mostly a reference to B movies. In this case is science fiction, hence almost every population in the world were all B's.
