    That's a fan's 'shop. Real thing could be bigger or smaller. I just don't want you to be disappointed if/when Ares doesn't utterly tower over the other gestalts. I do think he will be taller than Feral Rex, it's just not going to be nearly what comparing the torso-bots would imply.
  2. David Hingtgen
    You do realize that the other TFC Predacons are much much smaller? The MMC figures are all roughly equal to each other, but TFC has a much larger torso-bot.

    That's like the opposite of a MAXL's shape, in battroid mode. Mylene has skinny little legs, her valk most certainly does not.

    Oh yeah, I've been thinking of redoing the entire rear end since the beginning, to have it split open and deploy something. Just leave the wings fully extended all the time.
  5. David Hingtgen
    You could almost do that with Leader Jetfire. Only about a one-inch section is shared between modes. (But it was multi-pinned and critical)

    Benny's ship doesn't separate or anything special "up front". The hatch is just a hatch, there's a mostly empty compartment below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWDQ-rGYrWw

    I had nearly every "actual" Lego set from McDonalds. They were pretty nice, just as good as sets you'd buy from a store. So disappointed that modern Happy Meals have "fake" Lego cars etc. Even a 10-piece set would be better than that...

    I'm a *huge* train fan---but that sucks.

    Looks better in blue: (not mine of course, I wish I could paint like that)

    This may help: (click for bigger)

    How far did you get? FFX is one of the few in the series that really gets good/pays off at the end.
  12. David Hingtgen
    OMG, that *is* awesome! Never noticed that.

    I'm guessing they moved to electric ones to save weight, like the 787 does. Hydraulic lines, pumps, and the gallons of fluid itself, all add up, weight-wise.

    They've been going with thin wings? That seems pointless, considering thicker supercritical profiles for trans-sonic supercruise and fuel capacity.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, the moment the "sword" scene happened and what Fenice did, I knew what was coming----then was very disappointed it didn't happen. Anyways, as for "interfering with an ongoing match"-----key word being ongoing. The match was over,and officially decided at that point, they just hadn't "shut off the particle generator" etc.

    Have monorail parts, will buy.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Honestly I really can't explain the large actuators----AFAIK the F-22 has a relatively thick wing, for fuel capacity. (and so many 1980+ designs are supercritical anyways) Deflection rate is rarely an issue----even airliners can move their massive ailerons in the blink of an eye when they want to, with totally internal actuators.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, that info is very useful, as I'm running low on Tamiya Flat Base and it seems unavailable for the time being.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Because Northrop was going for stealth above most all other considerations.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Ouch, Monorail *track* alone is probably worth more than everything else you mentioned...

    You will need Bricklink.com, and/or Brickowl.com. Don't try to get what you need from Ebay. Rebrickable.com will also be very useful. (normally I'd say Peeron.com, but the site is effectively dead now--still superior to Rebrickable in several ways, but growing ever more outdated, since it has no set from 2012+) PS---I do plan to sell off all my "original grey" pieces, much of which is space-oriented. Let me know if you'd like a couple of pounds of grey...

    I feel the whole tournament (and behind-the-scenes PPSE scenes) are starting to "go on too long". I liked the pre-tournament stuff better I think. The 'race' episode seemed really pointless. Could have condensed the tournament a bit, and probably expanded more on "Reiji's new to the area/culture/planet".
  24. David Hingtgen
    Nope. The gold fades away into nothingness, leaving the white background behind. That figure had the standard printing when new. Benny isn't really an accurate representation of how worn/old space guys usually look. The gold fades away, leaving a rather nice-looking solid white logo most of the time. They don't scratch off through all the layers of color like Benny's. (unless a cat or fork got to it)
  25. David Hingtgen
    "First mold" meant exactly that. The 1/60 is far from the first VF-11 toy produced.
