    That's what I thought the first time I saw it--it's a simple push-button. There's no need to use the key. MAYBE on the cockpit, but certainly not on the other buttons.

    Just snagged MP Rodimus at my local TRU. (and used my 20% off coupon)

    I do think those would be wing gloves. Just due to the VF-25's design/transformation, it's got HUGE gloves. The tailfins technically are mounted on top of the wing gloves, IMHO.

    The utter lack of toys other than "neon repaints of He-Man*" is what killed the new He-Man line. Mattel isn't Bandai---Mattel focused 100% on toy sales as their success measure, and not "building the brand" through other means. Bandai are masters at building a franchise---look at Frontier (or any Gundam series)----they know that "6in action figure sales" are not the end-all be-all of making money---the toy sales come as a result of the show, not the other way 'round. Bandai had a good series, THEN made merchandise and media of many kinds and promoted things in many ways. Mattel tried to have the entire franchise monetarily supported by nothing but repaints of the same figure. *What's the difference with Batman? Batman lines always include Robin, Joker, Two-Face, etc. Plenty of guys for Batman to both team up with and to fight, no matter how many other Batmans they make. The He-Man waves were approximately 19 He-Mans, and one "other" figure. Yes, there were many other characters in the He-Man line, but the case assortments were SO He-Man heavy, the other characters may as well have not existed.

    Rumored, AFAIK.

    Point: a "draggy" bit of BSG is often still better than most show's greatest episodes.

    Want to watch TF:Prime? Go here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-prime-discussion/365036-darkprimes-tf-prime-encodes-videos.html Safe, HD, working links.

    Tigra's adopted, so it's a bloodline thing.

    Ratchet's not very fond of the humans--that alone makes him likeable.

    Starscream and Airachnid vying for power and scheming against each other could easily mirror Tarantulas and Blackarachnia.

    The "main" lion will influence the "special attack" from what I gather. Fire blast, ice blast, etc.

    If there's 2 Iowas seen in Philadelphia, the 2nd is probably the Wisconsin.

    A Darius Gaiden movie would be such a better use of the money...

    Depends--I'm not up to doing a garage/resin. If it's a kit, it better be from Bandai or Koto, and injection-molded. Must be highly-posable.

    The Iowa was in Philadelphia for years before it was moved to California.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Well, it took until the last 2 secs, but there *was* a battleship in that trailer. My prediction: they'll acknowledge there's no battleships left in service, and will bring an Iowa class out of mothballs as "the only ship that can beat the aliens".
  17. David Hingtgen
    Still waiting for Idolo. *that* I will buy, in kit or figure form.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Singing to whales.

    Seems it'll be the main MacGuffin, based on the after-credits scene in "Thor".
  20. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but it's literally the power of the Gods. (Odin, specifically, AFAIK)

    I've noticed that every 3D-capable screen in town, is slightly blurry when showing 2D. Most obvious when watching the credits. (plus, I never see any sort of focus adjustment, ever, any more---it used to usually happen either when the commercials started, or the opening credits)
  22. David Hingtgen
    The end credits in Capt America struck me as "nigh-3D" (and I was watching the 2D version, of course). Very interesting art style/effect they do there. Shifting layers/camera panning? Way better than "real" 3D IMHO.
  23. David Hingtgen
    It's an ungodly-better-painted ROTF Prime. Not slightly better. You know the people who spent zillions of hours pin-striping the fine lines surrounding the flames on ROTF leader Prime? Well, Takara went ahead and did it, but even better. And they painted all the bits Hasbro "forgot" like a bunch of the door areas that were just left clear. And the blue bits on the feet, etc. Pretty much anything that you could paint to make it better match the CGI, they did. Mold-wise, instead of mere fuel tanks, the fuel tanks themselves transform into guns. And there's both a masked and "mouthed" version of the head, depending on which version you get.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Better than Thor IMHO, and I liked Thor. Really, if you liked Thor, you should like Cap. Also, Tommy Lee Jones deserves special mention, for being even more awesome than he usually is. And you MUST stay for the after-credit scenes. If you, you know, like the Avengers etc.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Yes, the original CW series is pretty much "highlights and miscellaneous stuff" from right after Ep 2 to 30 secs before Ep 3. The current CG series expands on that with much longer arcs, showing other events, and is more chronological.
