Lots of announcements from the Gundam Big Expo 2009: * MG Guntank boxart * MG Astray Blue Frame Second Revise * PG 00 Raiser (You knew this was coming) * HGUC Kshatriya * boxart for 1/144 XN Raiser * HGUC FA Gundam 7th Unit * HGUC Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode, Unicorn Gundam Unicorn Mode. * Astray Mirage Frame (looks like a plain 1/100 kit) * MG Exia rollout colors (Bandai Online exclusive) * 1/100 SEED vs Astray kits Additional link On top of that, Gundam Unicorn is going to be a 6-episode OAV and Gundam Character and MS Encyclopedias for 2009 are coming.

Both are non-canon paint-schemes.

Unless they call these things "Cyclones" and they look like this...: ...do me a favor and smack over the head whoever says "lawsuit".

Silly boy, how else do you expect them to get your money?

Well, RDM's BSG was made for the small screen and meant for a more episodic pace. The article in the OP is about a Hollywood-budget movie. So it's a little harder to compare the 2 formats.

Mospeada did it and that happened only a year after Macross. If they don't try to make it look "Macrossy", the RT crowd will come out crying bloody murder. But the animation designs aren't something that would translate to the big screen as well. Making modern jets look like a something decent without them turning into Bayformers can be done. This fanart did it, so it can't be THAT hard.

Don't you know? Robotech fans lack any creativity. I'm surprised that fan-booth didn't take Evangelion as a Bioroid or a Gundam as a "new" destroid.

Nah, really? That's the same as saying "the sky is blue" or "fish live in water".

It stated that back in #22.

I suspect they want to take out all the melodrama of RDM's BSG and simplify it down for general audiences.

You listen to MEMO????

I still don't see why you people are so fascinated with those "interesting" people on RT.com. They live in their own world and so do we. Ignoring them does wonders. And if you can't, well then, maybe you should stay over there and not bring their business over here. *hint hint* As for this whole "All things Robotech"-business, of course the own Robotech. Robotech is their product. Robotech is their creative property. They aren't saying they own Macross, Southern Cross, or Mospeada. They have licenses to those works. Robotech is their intellectual property. I still don't understand why people can't get this through their heads, on both ends of the argument.

It's about the same. You can get away with just Gundam markers, but it will look hundreds of times better if you paint. Dalong normally does a straight build on his review kits with no paint, stickers or decals. Check those out if you want a sense of just a no-paint build.

I started the Q-Rhea back in the end of July, but real-life pushed everything to the back burner until last weekend. I'm finally free to start back up again.

There are a few Linux-based CDs that can reset the password on a XP system. Otherwise, if your friend still has the restore discs or just a copy of Windows, I would just reformat the systems and start from scratch. I would do this option only because I'd rather start from scratch and not have to deal with any previous software issues.

Frontier is, for the most part, over, so, this is now a general news thread. Old thread Tired of posting a new thread for 1 news item? Got a scoop? Post it here. No discussions.

I'd be more concerned about the engagement ring than the decals. If you can save up for a ring, you can save up for a set of decals.

Compared to the comic adaption

Well...Terence Howard was dropped from the series so yes, Don Cheadle is Jim Rhodes/War Machine.

There are holes on the display base for the Ghosts. And each Ghost has their own display adapter for the display base.

Yes, if you disable the SLI component (i.e. remove the bridging device), yes, you can have your 3 monitors. You can go up to 4 at that point. Your games will only be able to use 1 card instead of 2. But with a GTX 295, I won't worry that much.

For the Japanese impaired: Mechanical Sheet *VF-17 Nightmare *VF-11B Thunderbolt [i guess this is the B-sheet] *Civilian/Private vehicles *VT-1C Ostrich Character sheet *Gamlin Kizaki [Again!!!!?????] *People of UN Forces [Maybe the M7 people I guess] * Saotome School Timeline Sheet *Fire Bomber Debut History Sheet *Vajra breakout on the Frontier Fleet Technology sheet *OverTechnology Glossary Sheet *SMS thru Emilia Jenius Goods Sheet *Bandai Macross Fighter collection

I've seen this problem on the Gundam-side of things. With as many fans and all these translators out there, I see very, very, very low amounts of Gundam knowledge translated. There's just too much ground to cover. No one is going to spend enormous amounts of money or time to find every morsel of Macross material out there. Time and money are finite. And eventually, something will slip through the cracks. It's a similar issue I'm discussing on another board. Someone wants to verify a blog posting about a magazine article from 5 years ago. At this point, it's gonna be really hard to verify because the magazine issue it old enough to be hard to find and not enough people remember the article anymore. Sure you can posts blocks of text, but will it help? Do you really want to posts blocks of text and scans? I don't think you're gonna transcribe an entire book online and then scan it just for good measure. There is no good solution to it except for people to go out, get their own copy and translate it themselves and verify with your translation. And I doubt people will do that.

It's been in the Compendium for years. It even says Shinnakasu Heavy Industry (the Japanese company in question) licensed it for manufacturing.

Yes, it does include the kit. I still say it's steep for a kit with new decals though. It would probably be easier to just sell the decals but oh well...
