Alpha Team started out as a basic top secret group, under the leadership of Dash Justice. At that time, Ogel had made evil orbs that could turn ordinary civilians into mindless drones to serve as his slaves. However, he was defeated when Alpha Team entered the picture and broke the power of the evil orbs to restore the drones back to normal. They captured Ogel and destroyed the orb machine (found in the Alpha Team video game). However, Ogel managed to escape. In 2002, Alpha Team changed slightly. The toyline is known as: Mission Deep Sea. Ogel is back with more sinister looking drones that remained from the year 2001. Ogel also had re-engineered the evil orb so that it causes mutations and uses it to mutate sea creatures to serve him. Ogel's left hand was replaced by a transparent red hook that can still hold things (the Lego minifigure).
It is uncertain of how he got the red hook. Rumor has it that he lost his left hand while battling Alpha Team. Alpha Team's helper, TeeVee (a television with legs and antennae) can now turn into a deep sea rover for small openings and scouting around the sea embankment. In the webtoon, Into the Deep, Ogel's sinister plan for the mutant sea animals was destroyed when Dash reversed the orb factory controls, thus reverting all the sea animals back to normal. However, Ogel escaped again by detaching the cockpit on his Mutant Squid vehicle. Alpha Team did not appear this year, with only a promotional set, "Dash The Diver", being released. Alpha Team went into a massive revision. The Alpha Team symbol was changed, Crunch and Cam were replaced by Diamond Tooth and Arrow (respectively), and Ogel replaced his red hook with a transparent blue hook. Alpha Team has more tech than usual. Their vehicles have a new feature: they can initiate Alpha Mode, a feature that transforms one vehicle to another without disassembling and rebuilding.
This time, Ogel's plan has gone from mind controlling to causing damage to the world. His plan was to freeze the world at his base in Antarctica with ice orbs, and as revealed later, to freeze time itself as well. Ice Orbs are completely different from the evil orbs Ogel made earlier, as they no longer cause mutations/brainwashing, but instead freeze everything on touch. Alpha Team tracked him down to Antarctica and ended up battling each other. While Alpha Team raced to Ogel's fortress in a desperate gamble to stop him from freezing time, Ogel ended up freezing almost all of Alpha Team. However, Charge and TeeVee couldn't be found in the iceboxes. When all hope was lost, drones started to behave randomly and they began to steal interesting landmarks. Then Zed, a special agent of Alpha Team, arrived at Antarctica. He melted the ice around the other agents and set off on his own mission. While the other agents were stopping Ogel's drones, Ogel appeared in the Scorpion Orb Launcher, his own vehicle that could convert into the Viper Escape.
Ogel and Zed battled. At the same time, the Lego Magazine had invited fans to write their own stories of who won and what will happen next. The Lego Magazine didn't show the results, but it was assumed that Zed had won the conflict and the world was restored to normal. While the Lego Company didn't give the 2004 subtheme an official name, (like Mission Deep Sea) fans coined the name "Mission Deep Freeze" for the series. An Evil Orb is Ogel's main tool for all the missions. There are three types. Ogel has had several bases in the series. Ogel has several bases in the form of LEGO sets. All of his hideouts have a big skull on them . This is where ice orbs are created and where Ogel hatches the plan to freeze the world. In the set, it includes Ogel, two drones, and two Alpha team agents: Arrow and Dash. The set also includes the Solar Speeder: the Alpha team scout vehicle equipped with only a missile launcher that can open the gate of Ogel's fortress. Main article: Lego Alpha Team (video game)

Camping Tip Of The Month Whether you're a family of weekend campers or a retired couple looking to travel full-time, every RV beginner has to know a few important things before making the maiden voyage. Here are six quick tips to consider before you pile in and head out. This isn't always an easy decision, with pros and cons for both. However, when you consider a few key factors, the answer becomes clearer. Buy: You plan to go RV camping often or full-time and you have storage for the times when you aren't traveling. Rent: You plan to go on a single trip, or want to test the waters before making a purchase. With little road experience, it's especially important that RV beginners take time to learn how the motorhome works, even if it's just a rental.
If something breaks, you should be able to assess the problem, and potentially fix it. This saves time and money spent at a mechanic. When you get to know your RV, you're less likely to make operational errors. For example, if you don't know how many amps your main breaker can handle, there's a good chance you'll blow it. This is a potentially expensive error that can be avoided by getting to know your rig. Consider the roads you plan to drive on, and take a smaller trip on similar terrain. As an RV beginner you don't yet know what will move around in the living area or how hard it will be to switch lanes, ascend hills, and park. Once you know the intricacies of driving an RV, you can make necessary adjustments. For example, if your drawers pop open, which they often do, you need to find a way to keep them shut. Pack a well-stocked tool kit, and add in the things that your RV might need, like extra fuses, light bulbs, jumper cables, nuts, bolts and connectors. In addition, be sure to bring parts that are unique to your rig.
Without these, you risk having to wait for the part to be ordered and shipped. The urge to be spontaneous is tempting when your home is on wheels. Scott Motor Coach RV Sales is empathetic: "There's a certain pleasure in going where you want, when you want." Still, they recommend you have a plan: "It does help, however, to have a solid plan in place if it's your first time planning an RV trip." The budget: How much you can allocate for food, fun and overnight stays. Your food supply: To buy and eat out. The route: The one you plan to take and alternate options. Stops: The places you want to see along the way. Campgrounds: Where along the route you plan to call it a night. As an RV beginner, you might not have a campground routine yet. Therefore, having a checklist will ensure everything is set up as it should be. You checklist should include: Check the site for low hanging branches or obstacles on the ground. Locate the electrical, water and sewage hookups.
Pull your RV in, close to the hookups, and level it with blocks or stabilizing jacks, if necessary. Secure your rig by chocking the wheels. Connect to the electrical hookup, and switch your appliances to pull from this source of power, instead of the battery or propane. Attach your sewer hose to the drain hook-up—be sure to wear gloves for this process. Put out your awning and set up the campsite. RV beginners have a lot to look forward to: RVing is a great way to travel and explore the outdoors. However, knowing the basics is important to having a stress-free trip. Camping Game Of The Month Camping Pet Tip Of The Month Be Sure to secure your pet While traveling. “RV trips can be hazardous to your pet. How many times have you seen a small dog sitting on the drivers lap, looking out the window? Or the cat lying on the dashboard of the RV? A sudden stop, or even an accident can send your pet flying. A loose pet in a car can also escape if someone opens the door, forgetting that your pet is able to jump out before you can grab him or her.
