"Over a half decade ago Brian Beaton created the first great flash series ever to hit Newgrounds. After 4 amazing episodes that all were in the Top 50 Brian quit and left the flash world forever. But before he left for good he created a 5th episode and partially finished a 6th. He never submitted the movie to the portal. And after his website www.slitfinger.com was deleted in 2002 it became nearly impossible to find any of these episodes. It was lost in cyberspace. Until now. But here it is for any of you Newgrounders that love the history of the portal and love this amazing series. A half decade after its creation it has finally come home. Where it belongs. The Portal. In a time where flash animation was still in its infancy... Brian Beaton set the bar.
Ok, just so EVERYONE KNOWS. I am in NO way trying to take any credit for this what-so-ever! This movie has to be seen, and cant sit idley on a angelfire website that wont be around next month. This is a huge part of Newgrounds history. This was the "Tankmen" of the early 2000's. In 6 years if you found "Tankmen 4: the lost episode" after the author left the flash world... tell me you wouldnt put it on here. If Tom or anyone wants to take this off my account and put it fully on Brians PLEASE do.
Alright, enough babbling... Welcome home Scrotum!"

^^Good Points^^
I was quite pleasantly surprised when I saw that episode 5 was out. It's been many years since the first four, right? I think this was a great way of continuing the series. Scrotum has really taken on human traits that make him like a badass of some sort. Really good job on effects in this, and overall cool movie.
^^Needs Improving^^
The only thing that really bugged me was the incredibly long and boring intro. It wasn't bad, per say, but just way too long in my opinion.

Holy shit
Wow, The first series of Newgrounds lives on!
Nice episode, Although I didn't see much improvement of your animation... It was still pretty epic.

Interesting
The graphics are simple at times and great at others. The landscapes and silhouettes were great, and some graphics and certain animations were neat (such as the recoil guns made), but some were awful, like the particular animations, which were largely tweened, or the cigars, which glowed a little too much. The thinness of the donut the cop was eating also pissed the hell out of me, and the voice acting was very projected and low quality.

Won't Load
I'm sure it's a great episode but it sticks at the tv screen?
