  1. Wow. I think once you hit 5 years, you should start a new thread, no matter how relevant the old one was. Let dead threads lay. Anyways---pleasantly surprised at character designs. Not too big on Panthro's sideburns, but everything else looks good.
  2. I think it's blatantly a gunport in both the drawing and the model. On the Sv-51, there's nothing there. Everything just "works" if you assume they just moved the guns inboard a bit.
  3. I looked but nobody mentioned that the hip-guns weren't merely removed from their normal location----but also replaced directly inboard, to be aligned with the legs/knees. There's gunports a ways ahead of the knees. PS---the A380 has a three-piece aileron, so a five-piece one on a fighter isn't "absurd" or anything IMHO. Check it out: Makes me wonder if Kawamori had an A380 flight and saw this out his window...
  4. Oriole? If the Su-27 is the Crane, the Sv-51/52 can be the Oriole...
  5. Really, a lot of them, but the closest is King Gojulas.
  6. Gojulas Giga is (barely) a Giganotosaurus---more just because of the name and large head than any true detail. Giganotosaurus was big in Japan for a while, every toy dino for a few years there was based on a Giga, from Zoids to Transformers to Gashapon. Ultrasaurus---really, by modern standards, would be a Giraffatitan above all else.
  7. Don't want any of it. Where's my VF-4/VF-0D/VF-5000/VF-3000? (I'm only asking for stuff that actually has a chance to be made some day)
  8. I liked robo-Maul, too. Again--if they made Grievous from just a brain, eyeballs, and a heart---surely having the entire upper half would be easier to work with.
  9. But then everyone would say it's too much of a Cortana rip-off. Needs to be a bit different. Of course, ME has already established holo-VI asari tour guides...
  10. Not using Paypal eliminates most all intl sellers, and a lot of domestic.
  11. I thought the F-35's engine was still acting as a turbofan, even with lift-fan engaged. But it's been literally years since I took a close look at the system.
  12. I'd vote for the spelling as "Durandal"---at least that's how I always see it in English. Anyways---FAST packs on the legs---look a LOT like the YF-19's. Look at the missile launchers in the front part. (right side of page, top drawing) But are they FAST packs, or integrated into the legs?
  13. Slightly OT again, but a beavertail/tailcone/stinger is fairly "unimportant" for actually flying, its shape/presence will mainly just affect drag. F-14's spent years flying with parts of theirs hacked off. For many valks, it merely lays on top of the arms--most of the aft fuselage is still made up of the arms. And even if the arms too were lost, it'd be ok. Look at the P-38--nothing between the booms for the most part, just empty space.
  14. Ultrasaurus is the best zoid ever, by far IMHO. Sad fact: many dino zoids no longer really exist. Seismosaurus has been reclassed as just a new species of Diplodocus, if that--maybe merely a morph of D. longus. Ultrasaurus is not a brachiosaur, but a diplodocoid, and also not a new genus, but actually a Supersaurus.
  15. 11 votes so far? More than I expected.
  16. Yeah, but you bought TWO Breras IIRC.
  17. Heh, maybe he recorded a few non-CW lines for Lucasfilm, and the Special Edition of Ep II/III will have him added in...
  18. Yeah, but the Joker didn't have "visual appeal to men when in a catsuit" as the character's primary defining aspect.
  19. I always found it funny that the Duel of the Fates music video had like 3 times as much dialog for Maul than the actual movie did. And one cut scene doubles it.
  20. Yeah, but if you didn't sacrifice the tailfins, then you've lost the arm(s) in battroid--making IT useless. Kinda gotta pick which mode you want to save. Of course, if you lose the TORSO in battroid because you didn't use the tailfins as shields, you've lost everything...
  21. Already posted these in the DX VF-27 thread, but:
  22. Don't forget that the legs actually go up high enough to fit flush with the back plate etc in fighter mode, that's one of the big improvements over the -25. Overall I think the -27 is 10x better than the -25, when it comes to the DX version. And of course, Grace's is olive-green. Fairly unique color for a valk--Brera's would have been unique if not for Nora, but now it just seems like a copy of Nora's, minus the gold. The Sv-51 and VF-27 both have that Russian-Flanker-spiky-canards look to them, so having TWO in the same general magenta color seems redundant, considering how few "main character" valks we've gotten in the past decade. Only other green valk I can think of is Luca's, and his is a pale minty green.
  23. Opposite for me--didn't see the finger, saw her expression.
