  1. Clear-clear, or like clear-green or something? Are they ret-conning it to be quasi-Unicorn-ish?
  2. I think about 50% of people forget that one step in transforming to truck mode: flipping down the panels from the arm to fill in the fenders behind the front wheels.
  3. Eh, the SR-71 never fired a shot in its entire career. Look up "nuclear deterrence" for a big part of the F-22's role. Similar idea as boomers. Very complex, very expensive, and likely may never actually be used for combat.
  4. VF-0D and YF-19 prominently featured in artwork? Hint, hint Yamato...
  5. Real=awesome. Few and far between though. Seems the opposite is more common---making exaggerated versions of more realistic characters.
  6. Close, but not quite---the yellow-striped-canard variant is just that much better: It's my most-wanted VF-11 of all. A minor change, but it especially makes battroid mode a bit more colorful/interesting.
  7. BURN-E was home release only. However---does it work by itself, without having seen the main movie and already knowing the characters?
  8. I only have Grace's version, and since they were never seen on-screen at all on a green one (the green ones were only in the movies for about 0.5 secs in the background) I wonder if even Bandai would do a recolor for a non-canon version.
  9. Hollywood sure does love Langley AFB's "FF" tailcode. I think every plane in every Marvel movie ever has had it---and now this. (though it's more like a "shouldercode")
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0wdx_dLBKc S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car!
  11. Got my MP Prime today. Protip: Do not attempt to screw the infamous windshield screws in futher to make them flush to avoid scratching the bumper--you'll end up with stress marks on the front of the chest. I actually ended up filing mine down. (I suspect simply removing them and gluing the parts would be sufficient, as many people report it's ok with the screws simply removed---but I wouldn't trust that alone due to the amount of stress those parts are under---but gluing clear plastic near visible areas is always iffy) But yes, most definitely inspect the windshield screws before you EVER close the chest halves up. Even once can f*** up the bumper.
  12. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they're battroid-mode only. First time I saw them animated, I thought "there's no way they can actually fit in fighter mode"---even on the CG model.
  13. They modified the sigil even more--too bad they didn't just go back to G1. Oh well if nothing else maybe we'll get some Decepticon merchandise to counter the usual flood of Bot-only stuff.
  14. BTW---"Paperman". Best short ever?
  15. Really, where's my Sugar Rush game on the Wii Classics channel? According to "history" it came out in 1997, so a home port would have likely been an N64 release.
  16. Dunno, she was in the big list of "other voices". Could have been "Chun-Li mumbling inaudibly in the background". Or more likely, one of the many one-line Sugar Rush racers or Niceville residents.
  17. Just got my shipping notice, ordered it late 23rd/early 24th of Sept.
