But what he is unaware of and what is unaware of partially the firm conceptrice of the toys, it is that figurines gathered in 2 antagonistic groups: The commando of elite with for chief very martial Major Chip Hazard, and Gorgonites, peaceful creatures victims of their monstrous facies having for Archer chief, are provided with a chip of particularly powerful artificial intelligence which gives them life and a capacity to be undertaken and learn.
