The Runaway Guys Colosseum/TRG CAB (Colosseum Animated Bunch)

The TRG Colosseum Animated Bunch (CAB) is a group of animators and musicians who make the community bumpers seen during TRG Colosseum since 2021. With roots from the Egg PAC, they were an informal group up until the end of the 2022 event. Individuals in the group hail from multiple parts of the TRG community at large, not just Jon’s community or the Egg PAC, so this became their front-facing name to avoid confusion.

While they have sent out a formal application form in the past (after the 2022 event), they are currently not accepting additional people into the group.

List of Animated Bumpers
Links to the final bumpers are included in the sub-headings, and their segments are listed to the side. (The first one is only seen inside of the main bumper compilation of that year, so that links into a timestamp.)

RosaJon Transformations (2021)
For Colosseum 2021, Ben(Bmaster4114) had asked Jon if he could make a bumper with some people regarding the Rosa cosplay and transformation sequences and it was greenlit by both him and MC (this was the same year Jon had to do a RosaJon cosplay due to an incentive from a different charity marathon). The final project would not be revealed or even teased (outside a cryptic call for animators in the Egg PAC) until the bumper aired right before Chaos Cookie. The following were involved, in order of appearance:


 * Unedited Bear (cameo)
 * Rednaxela (music for all segments)
 * Aelita1234 (magical girl segment, before)
 * Yolk the Joke (magical girl segment, after)
 * JasperTheCrab (science segment)
 * Rhyme/PrimeExplorer (super sentai rosajon segment)
 * TheFlaming1UP (pokemon evolution segment)
 * PhillipDraco (editor and After Effects animations)
 * Ben(Bmaster4114) (organizer, gundam segment)
 * Jon (cameo)
 * Rosajon (cameo)

TRG Remix (2022)
Despite having a less-than-a-year turnaround, they did it again for Colosseum 2022 and it aired right before Chaos Cookie directly after “That’s My Jam!” on Day 1. They went with a Rhythm Heaven-style animation featuring all of the TRG friends (including two that did not make a guest appearance that year) with custom music to go along with it. The following people are credited at the end:


 * TheFlaming1UP (Play a Mini Game! & Tap Trial - Lucah, Tyler, and Donna cameo)
 * Aelita1234 (Encounter! Hiker/Hiker Dance & Karate Man - Emile cameo)
 * Ben(Bmaster4114) (Initialize & Glee Club - MotionDan, Tom, Josh, and Jon cameo)
 * JoliVector (Capri Man's Theme & Samurai Slice - Tim and Mal cameo)
 * Camille Skyleste (Deku Palace & Blue Birds - Masae and Mipha cameo)
 * Rhyme and Learn2chillax (Megalovania & Rockers + Big Rock Finish - Jules, Jack, Jerod and Carlos (Carlos G) cameo) - Chillax did the background sketch for this scene (and helped with fact checking parts of this list)
 * Yolk the Joke (Lifelight & reference to Sonic Stereo - Stephen, Lord Dona'tor, and Lamp cameo)
 * Rednaxela (music arranger for main sequence remixes)
 * froreWolf/Wren (additional instrumentation, music arranger for the SMW Bonus remix in the credits)
 * roselii49/Rosie (organizer and planner)
 * Vermillion (beat correction)
 * PhillipDraco (editor, intro/outro animation in After Effects)
 * Special thanks to TRG!

Following the event, Bmaster4114 (Ben) formally introduced themselves as the Colosseum Animated Bunch to dispel confusion and disassociate from Jon's mod team or the Egg PAC.

Channel Surfing/TRG TV (2023)
They now had a year-long turnaround for the first time, and their team has grown even bigger since the formal application from the previous year. It aired in two parts: directly before the live Disc Only segment on Day 2, and right before “Chaos Cookie - Take Out Edition” following Disc Only. It is a collection of animated fictional ads or show snippets featuring all of TRG, including archived and new voice lines by said TRG members.

Lore
Within the Jonaverse lore, the group was initially very secretive and only had a few people in it (mostly from the Egg PAC). As the group expanded, they needed more space and a way to not get confused as simply "the Egg PAC" or "Jon's mods" towards fans of TRG. In 2022, following that year's TRG Colosseum, the group was officially named by Ben as the Colosseum Animated Bunch to stop further confusion. After recruiting more people for future bumpers, the organizers (now including Rosie) needed more space. They started renting out office space in St. Jonsabooru not too long after, later sharing the space with The Runaway Guys Colozineum (the TRG fanzine) team due to similar membership. Before sharing the space, however, the building was topped with an inflatable of very noticeable boobs (just the boobs) with a light blue bra. It's assumed to be RosaJon, but that was never confirmed or denied before the office was disguised into an abandoned pizza parlor when the fanzine team came.
