    It's a Bioware game, so you know how the dialogue tree/choices work. Combat is more old-school quasi-turn driven, akin to KOTOR.

    Looks to me like they angled/curved every button and switch in an attempt to look "cool" with no thought given to ergonomics.

    I just saw something mentioned but it's one of those things that's impossible to get good search results for: It seems that Takara-Tomy is going to re-release a ROTF Prime mold again? Will this be yet another Buster Prime or what? I missed out/waited too long and never got one, so if they're doing it again I'm very interested. (especially since I am so not impressed by DOTM Prime---dare we hope for an even better one in the future?)

    New "iconic" Storm Shadow is neat. Skystriker engines--weird. My money's on the guy just went to images.google.com and typed in "F-14", and didn't realize that F-14D engines won't work for an F-14A mold, but tried to scribe them in anyways.

    Technically POC, but it is so a 25th Ann Techno-Viper: http://www.theterrordrome.com/wp-content/gallery/toy-fair-2011/poc-techno-viper.jpg

    This could go in several threads, but I'll put it here. Future SDCC exclusive crossover. Skystriker re-release as Starscream with flightsuit Cobra Commander with Megatron as his pistol. Pic credit to http://GIJoeClub.com

    Future can be brushed on by hand to a smoother finish than many clear coats can be airbrushed. The difference is most noticeable when applied to a canopy or windshield.

    If that thumbnail was any bigger I'd consider it a fairly major spoiler.

    IMHO the feet aren't too small---the ankles are too big.

    And stronger and easier to apply. There's a reason it's used on so many award-winning models. It's considered as essential as paint and glue for plastic kit builders nowadays.

    Interesting. Wonder if Kawamori was thinking of the F-14-----it's said that opponents learned to "read" the position of the wings as a clue for the plane's energy status---and soon after F-14 pilots started to adjust the wings manually to try to trick their opponenets.

    I've only seen about half of them (and I have to search them out at local rental places) but went with Spirited Away---almost clicked on Laputa, but Laputa is more of an "overall feeling" of liking it, while Spirited Away I vividly remember many specific scenes and moments, so it certainly left a greater impression. Howl's Moving Castle is my most recently-seen one. (I think Mononoke was the first).

    Interesting---new Legos. With a new Asajj figure. And she's wearing the outfit she had in the previous animated Clone Wars series. (I don't think "outfit changes" count as a spoiler) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/uploads//1296693960/gallery_2351_21_359021.jpg

    Ok, did I miss something, or was the reason for the multi-segment Sv-52 ailerons never actually posted?
  15. David Hingtgen
    And the outer ones are bent, too...
  16. David Hingtgen
    Correct, but it no longer looks like the pic in the article. The change isn't as big as when it went from Future to Pledge w/Future though.
  17. David Hingtgen
    No, it's not a typo, it's the reason I posted. THAT is how long "reputable sources" have been talking about how ZOE 3 is coming. Nothing ever comes of it. (actually, with a 2007 ETA, the article is likely from 2006) Somewhere I think there's a 2008 interview about ZOE 3...

    On a Super Hornet---I'd vote yes for a wing-mounted tank due to being on sideways. Maybe not so much a belly tank. I know the general rule is that 10% of any added fuel is burned just to carry the increased weight and thus "doesn't count" for range. But that's irrespective of drag.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Yup.
  20. David Hingtgen
    NOBODY commented about the new Super Duper Hornet? http://www.youtube.c...d&v=lE3h8yImm4U Interesting note--the CFT's combined tankage is very close but slightly less than 1 standard Shornet drop tank. But, being zero net drag, would probably actually improve range more than a drop tank would. The Demon is famous for its drop tanks having so much drag that using them could DECREASE range. I am curious if it affects high-alpha performance, covering part of the LEX like that. But, the edges are clear, and that's the critical part.
  21. David Hingtgen
    *Future* floor polish. Nothing else. It's very different from all others. See here: http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html Note that I think they very recently changed the bottle's look again.
  22. David Hingtgen
    AFAIK, Cali is about the only state that actually enforces the "loud car" (whether it's exhaust or stereo) law.
  23. David Hingtgen
    I wonder if 2012 means a new OVA or something, starring Anubis? (If there was a game coming, I think we'd have heard about it by now)
  24. David Hingtgen
    Vic Viper? Pointless. Neith is FAR more important. ArdJet is a bit more important. And Idolo is cooler than all of them.

    Can't hot-link, so here's the link to a comic regarding MP Transformers, and Rodimus in particular: http://i.toynewsi.co...d/sp-tni229.jpg :;edit;; Yeesh, can't link-link either. So cut-n-paste.
