    True for all TV's---ANYTHING they attempt to tweak/fiddle/enhance will slow things down. You want the raw unfiltered signal going straight from the console to the screen. Motion interpolation, "smoothing"---all bad! If something can be turned off in the menu, do so. Turn off everything you can. You may have to set the TV to "movie" or "cinema" mode first to be able to turn some things off-----movie/cinema mode is usually the "purest" mode on a TV, with few "enhancements" active. Sadly, "game mode" is often among the worst possible things to do.

    Takara goes for G1 animation, period, for MP's lately. That means Prowl's symbol is centered, with nothing on his leg. It's why Sideswipe has no blue markings at all, despite the toy's many stickers. (and an all-white rocket launcher)
  3. David Hingtgen
    And if the rumors are to believed, Lambo has already ended Takara's license agreement. No further production/re-issues. If you want Sideswipe or Red Alert---buy now, or you'll never have one outside of ebay. (it's to the point that Tigertrack may be cancelled)

    I'm certain he'd have recognized them if he saw the actual toy. I mean, it'd be nigh-impossible to identify Wildrider or DeadEnd's alt-modes from the show.

    Yeah, but what kind of bumper stickers would Hasbro print on Bluestreak? Maybe give him spinners, dub wheels, and other inappropriate crap like they did to Thundercracker.
  6. David Hingtgen
    Lots of pics today---I don't think anyone guessed "gunmetal" for how they'd color MP Bluestreak though:

    KnockOut+BattleCat=awesome! And since I don't own the RiD mold of Arcee, I think I'll pick up the new one, too:

    I must admit, Acid Storm looks MUCH better than I expected. Still---he has no tattoos, and instead has tasteful Decepticon logos on his shoulders-----why couldn't they have done that with TC?
  9. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I mean, pink tires etc is going a little far. 98% pink would have been plenty, didn't need to do the tires and nozzle interior...

    Says 197 for me, now. (Though it's up)

    Personally, I don't think the Stunticon limbs can swap. I think it's going to be like TFC Uranos---they may be able to come CLOSE to the other limb modes due to articulation, but can't really swap--not without issues.

    June for Luca's? At that rate it'll be 2014 for Alto's or Ozma's to be re-issued....
  13. David Hingtgen
    Seconded. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be "Merida, Warrior Princess" fighting to save her land from invaders or something.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn, what have we here?

    After reading your post, I'm glad I never caught more than ten seconds when it was on toonami.

    The canopy will generally hold itself open when "opened really really far" but not really in a "normal" opened position. The landing gear issue is guaranteed with this mold. Wing drooping--varies from box to box, batch to batch. LOOSENING the screws a fraction near the hinge can help. (if they're over-tight, the plastic tends to bend apart) (plus the standard superglue/nailpolish fixes)
  18. David Hingtgen
    The decals won't hold up at all, and I want to transform it occasionally--I put ridiculously thick coats of clear on some areas as a test and they still came right of. I'm disappointed with the transparency of the decals and my efforts to make the canopy purple. Lots of little things basically.

    Anything other than Brave should have won. A common comment I see is that everything makes sense if the academy only watches the trailers for animated films, not the complete finished product... Really, Pixar shouldn't get an Oscar for their 2nd-worst film. At least Paperman gets some deserved respect.

    The F/A-18A+ is the best version of the Legacy Hornet there is now. Lowest weight, most modern avionics, and most powerful engines. Export Hornets tend to have the better engines but not the avionics. Late-build US C's are the opposite.
  21. David Hingtgen
    I don't think I'll ever finish my 99% done VF-25F. (I already sold the un-built super pack I had for it). I'll see if I can disassemble mine and get those parts out undamaged.
  22. David Hingtgen
    "The F-35 will deliver 90% of the F-22's performance at half the cost". Bet they wish they'd just bought more F-22's, now... Conspiracy theory: The program is being intentionally sabotaged etc to send the message that manned fighters really are too complicated and expensive to make any more, and we should just have zillions of cheap drones instead of fewer more capable planes.
  23. David Hingtgen
    As a set for both, or for Sandrock and Heavyarms individually?
  24. David Hingtgen
    That's highly related to the F/A-18A+ program. Since the "C" came out quite soon after the "A" a lot of A's were sent to reserve/training squadrons, and thus saw little combat, high-weight flying, carrier landings, etc. While the C's have been at war almost constantly. Thus, most A's are effectively "younger" than C's nowadays, when it comes to wear/tear/stress etc. So the A's are being upgraded with C avionics and engines, as they are the newest airframes available--in a manner of speaking. (they certainly have the most "useful life remaining")

    I never much liked the twin-barreled version of the TV look. I may pass. Give me either original TV single-barrel, or Endless Waltz. (I'm not very fond of the fact that they did the later version of TV Sandrock either, but that one's more subtle so I accepted/bought it)
