  1. When you're towing a pink Mirage down a road with a tractor, you're the coolest guy in the world at the moment:
  2. Yamato's made that stripe grey on Milia's since their old v1 VF-1. 1/48 was like that too. It's one of those "depends on the animators that day" things, like the head cannons (red vs grey vs steel).
  3. IMHO it's sad when fan-theory is far better and makes more sense than the actual explanation. PS--exactly what it seems to be? The 2-second add-on clip? It's beyond implausible if it actually takes place after "the ending".
  4. The "secret" ending is a 2-second clip tacked on to the end of the "red" ending: And that fact, that it only happens with the "red" ending is considered one of the bigger clues that Apparently "green" is only an option with a decently high "readiness/army" in the first place, but the same requirements also do that slight alteration to the red ending. Or, possibly, "alternate red" has an even higher requirement than "green" does. 5000 vs 4000 pts, respectively or so. PS---nice fan art of a fun ending: http://imgur.com/rC6FD
  5. 90x90 seems to be the "preferred" size right now. Used to be 128x128 IIRC.
  6. I feel slighted that the previous arc (Obi-Wan in disguise) was twice as long as THE RETURN OF MAUL. Of course, all of next season could be about Maul, but probably not. He and Oppress will probably show up at the end of next season for another 2-parter.
  7. Says the man with 4 copies of a one-of-a-kind VF-17?
  8. Awesome, the Gripen will get kills before the Raptor or Typhoon!
  9. "Scale" is irrelevant, TF's pretty much only exist in size. Leader/MP Starscream (any of them) is really only scale to RPM Optimus...
  10. IIRC, that pilot is famous for showing off and eventually getting his crew killed: http://en.wikipedia....Base_B-52_crash http://youtu.be/sjFIB1L3BPU BTW---due to a B-52's high amount of incidence, they can fly level or even climb while nose-down. Yes, you can even see them go nose-down immediately after takeoff for initial climb-out... So many low passes look more dramatic than they are because it looks like the plane's descending when it's not.
  11. Pretty sure that's it. Maybe we can get the current skin to use 128x128 again.
  12. Looks exactly like mine. And I'd sell for a lot less than that. ::edit:: Actually, I'm betting that pic actually is of the late 90's set.
  13. You should above all else, watch and listen to every second of "the conversation with Sovereign" and then "the conversation with Vigil" in ME1. IMHO that is the core of all of ME's mythology, really. Plus it's the whole reasoning/warning/prelude of what the reapers are, what they did in the past, how they do it, etc. Both events happen near the end of the first game though, and are massive spoilers if you ever want to play the first game. Of course, they're basically massive spoilers for the entire series... And frankly---ME2 is a side-story. A really good one. But it has little to do with the overall plot. ME3 is really more of a direct sequel to ME1 than ME2 was. ME2 is basically "hey, Cerberus is evil and run by this guy". You could have gotten that from the books/comics. ME3 has more "call outs to previous events" than anything I've ever encountered. Be it book, movie, or game, nothing has more in-jokes/references. A thousand little things. Many are just a single line, but you won't "get it" without having played the earlier ones. Personally, I find ME2 to be the low point of the series.
  14. I posted this a while back, but here it is again: Look up inside the nose gear bay. In the very center of the "roof" of the gear bay you can see a little rectangular tab--that's the canopy's lock tab. Push it with a toothpick, and the cockpit opens right up. Much easier/safer than trying to pry the canopy open from above.
  15. It's got the USS Iowa? That automatically makes it better IMHO.
  16. Yup, I've hoped that Bandai would release just a new hip section to "retrofit" existing VF-27's. But that'll never happen.
  17. Who wants the front 1/3 of a Tornado ADV? http://www.ebay.co.u...id=324156485475
  18. Watch the paint on top of the nosecone when transforming!
  19. Blatantly copy-pasting from Neogaf, but have you seen the music composers list for Kid Icarus: Uprising? Motoi Sakuraba: Tales of, Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Baten Kaitos, Dark Souls, Golden Sun Yuzo Koshiro: Streets of Rage, ActRaiser, Shinobi, Etrian Odyssey Masafumi Takada: Killer7, No More Heroes, God Hand Noriyuki Iwadare: Lunar, Grandia, Radiata Stories Yasunori Mitsuda: Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Shadow Hearts Mitsuda alone would make it incredible, but adding in the composers of Grandia, ActRaiser, and Valkyrie Profile?
  20. Personally, I will only buy one if it has FB2012-ish colors. I absolutely demand a tan nosecone, for starters. I'm not too enthused about the red wrapping around the shins/calves, but I must have a tan nosecone. (ironically, the VFX VF-11 is known for its tan nosecone) What do the tailfins look like in the VFX version? They appear mostly dark, but is it exactly like the FB2012 version, with the small red stripes?
  21. That must be fun. Let me guess, "Rick Hunter" is from an American show, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?
  22. I put multiple smilies in my previous post, I can't indicate humor/sarcarsm any more than that...
