Iran has the world's only 747 tankers. Possible they want a couple more with even greater capacity and range. They just need to reverse-engineer the original mods that Boeing did.
This article doesn't specifically say they're -400's, but they are: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/uk-firm-fined-2-million-after-pleading-guilty-to-illegally-exporting-boeing-747-aircraft-to-iran-93423974.html
First, Iran acquires multiple 747-400s. Now, China's got mil-spec surveillance 737s. Whoever's in charge of "making sure modern Boeings don't go to sanctioned nations" really sucks at their job.
I'm wondering if all the black text could be changed somehow? Like "email, print, download" "previous topic, member feedback, next topic" at the bottom, or
"(10 pages)". Kinda hard to read against the medium blue.
I think every website has too small fonts---I just override it in my browser. (thus, I see every forum in my preferred font and size)
But you're not the first to ask for bigger fonts with MW's new board.
Everyone just has to ignore that. It doesn't even work in the comics like that. (plus, shouldn't that be like a 1500lb suitcase if it's a full suit, compacted down?)
Good luck gettting one now though---the value and rarity of that mold has skyrocketed recently due to this add-on set. However, you may get lucky and find some of the ROTF versions at Big Lots etc being clearanced. Dollar General I think was also mentioned.
If you get desperate, you can try to buy individual bots---you do not need any of the accessories (like the hands or feet), nor do you need 2 of the 5 bots. A "complete" Bruticus is kinda pointless for this. (I've got a spare helicopter for sale BTW)
That's actually IMHO among the biggest reality-breakers in the films for me---the helmet looks skin-tight when it's actually put on (where does his nose fit?) but there's plenty of space when we get an 'internal' view.
Dang, it looks good with the original Energon version, at least in combined mode:
Though I am concerned with how Barricade (Onslaught) will look in vehicle mode with the add-on parts. Might be some serious clashing there, as the parts do use ROTF Onslaught's colors.
I rarely own more than 4 valks at a time. Sell old ones to buy new ones. And I too would buy a V3 YF-19---maybe this time they'll finally get one that locks together. Seriously, the FIRST one locked together better especially in GERWALK mode--mainly because they had a tab and slot just for that mode--the new version doesn't have it, and guess what--it doesn't hold together as wel. Brilliant move there...
Looks nice, but I'll wait for a repaint that matches the original version of the molds (Energon). Just can't justify the price for parts that won't match mine.
