Apocrypha III : Tackle & Tiger Burai by Lewis Smith (1995-1998)

Neither "Tackle RX" (the original name for the revamped and revived Tackle) nor Tiger Burai were originally conceived by Lewis Smith as part of "Return of Jetman", but they were folded into the series when the new version launched in 2002. The following pieces depict early concepts for the characters.
