Arena 51 is not only the Warriors’ mode of transporta�on, their concert stage and
their ba�leship, but it’s also their mobile CLUBHOUSE (with all the fun one would
expect: kitchene�e/break room equipped with fully-func�oning vintage KARAOKE
MACHINE) – a place to hang out, when they’re not ac�vely embarking on a quest. It
also houses an “armoury” of sorts: the GEAR BOX, a broom closet which leads to a
sizeable VAULT housing everything from spare s�cks, picks and strings to harmonicas
and even a sma�ering of orchestral instruments.
As with the Batmobile, via the AmpliFinder the Warriors can summon Arena 51 by
remote or, if racing back to put on a show a�er collec�ng and rehearsing a Mys�c
Score, they might use the AmpliFinder to ac�vate ligh�ng rigs or speakers via remote
so everything’s amped and ready by the tme they hit the stage. Because Tom is
entrusted with the device, the na�ve Warriors don’t have access to their remote
when the humans aren’t around. Which means they CAN’T summon the ship
if they’re away from it during these “off hours” (providing another source of occa-
sional humour). Again, the goal is to present all the “electricity” of a rock concert
with gear that’s awesome and aspira�onal, yet with enough design whimsy to be
appealing to our target age group.
The Amplifinder is a recording and playback device; Tom uses it to record not only
the casual “jams” of the Rhythm Warriors, but their Mys�c Score performances.
On that note, it should be known that no recording or playback devices other than
the AmpliFinder exist in Rhythmos – its inhabitants can’t comprehend the idea
of listening to “canned” music when they can simply PLAY it, since most everyone
here on Rhythmos is inherently musical.
The AmpliFinder also operates as a communica�ons link or radio – Tom and JoJo can
use it to contact their bandmates on the Arena 51 airship while they’re on Earth, or
vice-versa; or, while on an adventure in Rhythmos, if they have a Mys�c Score in
hand and are racing back to Arena 51 on foot to perform it, they might use it to link
into Arena 51’s massive Plasma Screens to let their wai�ng audience of BoogieWoo-
gies know they’re on their way.
