    The VF-3000 wasn't a VF-4 replacement, more like a VF-1 extension that didn't pick up steam. The Chronicle notes that the VF-11, was the first true replacement for the VF-1 as an all-environment fighter (jack-of-all-trades, master-to-none-deal), which is why it was loved.

    For anybody heading to Comic-con, a few shots of the show floor, Thor-related version: http://www.superherohype.com/gallery/comic-con/comic-con-2010/89991-comic-con-floor http://www.superherohype.com/gallery/comic-con/comic-con-2010/89975-comic-con-floor

    I wonder, the stand-in poles seem a bit short, especially for this Decepticon (and a spoilerish pic with a Baysplosion) (TFW2005.com)

    Pre-Comic-con artwork released. And released earlier this week: Asgard set (SuperheroHype.com)

    Since we're on the eve of Comic-con, we have production art coming.

    Trust me, when we actually do get a release date, it will be posted here and in the SCOOPDA thread, and then repeated hourly, daily, and weekly until people realize that it's been posted that many times. Until then, STOP ASKING.

    You forgot something.... <personality="Elmo Kridanik">BIG NEWSU!!! BIG BIG SUPA NEWSU!!! Variety mentions RT!!!!</personality> Maybe I should search for RT in Google News every day and post it as some big thing. I tell ya....Robotech: Love, Live, Alive.

    Actually, those are probably stand-ins. They're visual cues for actors to look at so that they know what to look at, where to look at it, and whom to look at. The guys with the sticks will be edited out in post-production.

    Few questions and things: -Have you installed any software or updated Windows, prior to your re-wiring? -Do you have MagicISO or MagicDisk installed? -Have you checked for viruses? -Try this, boot into safe mode, open a command prompt, type in the following (no quotations): "chkdsk c: /f" . What does it report? -Did you install Vista SP1? -What happens when you press CTRL-ALT-DEL? http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistadesktopui/thread/02b7e62c-ac58-479f-b5f8-9ef2b26f5294 Try some of the things above before doing a restore/repair.

    Do you have a regular computer monitor by chance?

    Won't be the first time a comic artist drew an anatomically incorrect body...

    Well, the producers said they were going for something more alien in the costume...

    If you read the 2003 document, it specifies that Big West took the SDFM-story proposal (which was done before Tatsunoko came in, and is what BW owns) to Tatsunoko (i.e. they showed their outline of what they wanted to do). Tatsunoko took that idea and did the actual production of that idea. The episode-to-episode screenplay of the SDFM-series, the story chronology of the SDFM-series, or the story of the SDFM-TV series, or what you wish to call it is what is owned by Tatsunoko because they were involved in its production.

    I'm not talking about the Macross-franchise, only SDFM which is the only relevant part of to RT.

    In the links, Big West is listed as the owners of (and rightful owners of) designs. But if Big West owns the story to SDFM, then they should have, in addition to the designs, been able to win over Tatsunoko for that as well and should be the copyright holders for the "story". But they didn't win and are not the copyright holders of that specific material (the story component of SDFM). Tatsunoko was brought in to help produce the show. Big West and Studio Nue took their ideas and designs to Tatsunoko to help them produce it because it cost too much for BW to go at it alone. And on top of that, the series was extended after it started so changes to the story were made to allow for the extension. So Tatsunoko provided the funding for the writers to write the scripts and storyboards, animators to animate the show, audio technicians to dub the soundtrack (dialog and sound SFX). So that is their copyright since they provided the funding to bring the show from an idea to an animated work. Which brings me back to my point, if Tatsunoko produced that idea into a tangible work, then they are the copyright holder of that said work, i.e. the animation, written story/narrative, and soundtrack for SDFM. I'll agree that Big West owns the idea of the story behind SDFM. But there's a problem, you cannot copyright an idea (see link). You can copyright a written outline of that idea, but unless you enter into a confidentiality agreement over that outline, there's nothing to prevent another party from using that idea.(see link)

    If you scroll all the way down to the end of the post, under "Additional Resources", you'll find 2 links there explaining the term "Intellectual property" in terms of the law. What is Intellectual Property? Did You Say “Intellectual Property”? It's a Seductive Mirage And reading Big West's statement over their copyright, you will see that it does not cover the story, only the design works.

    Not bad. I like the First flight suit. It mixes the DYRL and TV looks fairly well.
  22. azrael
    We're not doubting that it will come out...at some point. It's just annoying that they list things so frakin' far in advance that it puts people's hopes up. If you want a more current example, Iron Man 2 has been listed on Amazon for a month. Yes, we know it would come out eventually on Blu-ray/DVD, but why list it so early when the disc features and street date were just announced today, July 13th.

    I made that point many moons ago before our LAM thread turned into a pile of poo. Anyway you shake it, the LAM will not look like it's cartoon origins. Going from one medium to another doesn't translate well. And Seto's point is valid; they'll just use the story from Robotech anyways.
  25. azrael
    That's incorrect and very very vague (using the term "intellectual property", as I've mentioned before is extremely vague and should be avoided). The character designs and mecha designs are owned by Big West; the story is not. The story to SDFM (and only SDFM) is owned by Tatsunoko. And as Seto pointed out, the story is exactly original.
