    Whatever happened to Sally Carrera..?

    No, 'cause that would be smart... I remember being real excited when the first movie came out, and even though it didn't follow the animated series in any way I still liked it. It's just a shame that Bay decided to push everything that was simple and stupid about the first one, and spin it out into three sequels. And I doubt Bumblebee would ever come back as a Beetle. From the first movie, Bumblebee has always been about speed and looking cool, which a VW Bug rarely is. Unless they completely reboot him after his smackdown from Optimus. And now why would Optimus be attacking the other Autobots in the first place..? Seems way out of character, unless they are in a way following the Quintizon angle from the animated shows. Optimus died in the best Transformer movie ever, that being The Movie from 1985. He was then brought back by the Quintizons who were the original creators of the Autobots and Decepticons, for the express purpose of using him to attack the others. So he was under some kind of 'remote control' until the Autobots were able to defeat him and bring him back on their side. Damn it's such a shame Bay was left in charge...

    It was great seeing Tarkin back on scene. He was so pivotal in ANH that I think having a 'stand-in' would have been more jarring. I would have been, 'who is this guy..?' Just my personal opinion. It's more important to me that they did this was approval. If they hadn't, then that would have been a big problem.

    I sure hope not!! Andromeda should kick some lily white butt!

    Yes. I did it once before but though I liked it, this is what I wanted to do before I knew i wanted to do it... She doesn't fit into canon, but is the main ship for a fanfic I have on my head that is more of a blending of 2003 Galactica into the 70s show, with a sprinkle of Xena Warrior Princess thrown in.

    Some cool stuff coming along! From Star Wars to Yamato to giant robots! Awesome.

    Wow, that was awesome!! And I just hope I was that guy!!

    It looks like there are slight differences. At least from the OG model. The Number 1 turret is sitting back into a cut-out, and it looks like the main gun apertures are angled from top to bottom.

    Farewell fair Princess. You are one with the Force, the Force is with You...

    Earth ships and Garmillas ships side by side. Love it!! Although whose gonna try that crazy paint job!?!
  16. Thom
    Loved it! Got off work early and went right to the theatre! One of the best Star Wars movies. Won't knock TFA. Loved it despite its flaws. Great movie!

    Which models are these two gray beauties..?
  18. Thom
    That's a shame, as voice actors can be just as recognizable as someone whose face is on the screen. Quite distinctive, especially with a major character. Hope she stays with it, But if not, Lovato is very recognizable for the main song.
  19. Thom
    That does look pretty cool. But what I really want is someone to come out with Melda's fighter in 1/72!!

    It's an anime. They can do whatever they want from having no ships except Yamato, to having a fleet two years later or having the Andromeda being built while Yamato was underway the first time... I'm more interested in knowing whether the old Bandai Andromeda is close enough to scale to the newer /1000 ships. Considering that I lengthened the Nike I think they might fit quite nicely. Though it is a bit wide and deep... The smaller ships work good too, but the old Borodino model looks way undersized, more a cruiser size itself.
  21. Thom
    It's also highly possible that Andromeda was under construction even before Yamato left Earth. Having Yamato as the test bed for the tech and seeing how everything worked together before launch, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd pushed ahead despite any risk. And then seeing how well her shock cannon and main gun worked against previously impervious Garmilas ships, would spur them on even harder to get the Andromeda afloat. So it could be three years instead of two, and who knows, Andromeda may have welcomed Yamato home. As to the question of scale, here are my three Space Battleship Yamato ships, the fleet flagship Nike, the Yamato herself and the previous light cruiser Interceptor, now termed as a full fledged cruiser. Now keep in mind, the Bandai Andromeda model has been lengthened by an inch and a half, so the stock model is actually shorter than shown here, as well as having a number of extra additions. If they have increased the ships size for the new series, then the old Bandai kit may now be almost 'in-scale' with the newer 1/1000 kits. Ironic in that, upon hearing they'll be a new Andromeda model, that I sold off the four unbuilt kits that I had, figuring they would now be too large... And whether the old /700 models would be able to fit in with the /1000 ships isn't even a question for me! The last two especially look like they'll fit right in as cruiser and battlecruiser types.

    Looks like it's being used as some type of scanner.
  23. Thom
    I'm glad that they're keeping with the original look. It should be awesome to see. But if they made her larger, like they made Yamato larger than the original series counterparts, would Bandai's older 1/700 scale kits now be 'in-scale' in comparison?
  24. Thom
    It just seamed to be an odd, archaic notion for a show set in the far future with a lot of the equalities mentioned, with of course the mores of the time being the main reason.

    Nice to see him going beyond Star Wars. I still may not watch this one as I never watched the first one, but good for him!
