For an actual name-brand Transformer™, I'd have to vote for Machine Wars Starscream.

Nope.

It's one of VFA-106's Hornets.

I've only decaled a few bits, but I have this to say: Decals are better than those in most kits, but not equal to the best kit decals or aftermarket. Many decals are "too small" IMHO, notably on the ventral fins. There are many areas where they will not cover the areas they are clearly intended too. (But I don't think the stickers are any better in that regard).

Yup, definitely needed to be posted here. (and I just voted). Really, all 3 are good, I'd buy any of them immediately.

The original Hornet scheme did have gold. They copied it quite closely. One or two of the first F-15's had a similar scheme lacking the gold.

I haven't done it but I do read the Bioware forums every day. ME on the HDD won't totally change the game. It will help some, but don't expect the elevators to move ANY faster... (mainly, it'll only eliminate the occasional 'loading' pause when running from place to place) Most of the issues seem to be the engine itself---it just can't handle that many textures or something. (I swear it was designed only for FPS in desolate apocalpytic games, where they only need 4 textures---brown stuff, grey stuff, player, and alien bug)

YF-19. For Max, wait for the new V.2 1/60.

Just making sure everyone's aware of the RetroHornet (it's 30 now, believe it or not) http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll171/j...Hornet/?start=0

I'm iffy on Last Remnant--looks good, but every video I've seen has tremendous slow-down, enough to turn me off from the game. And I think it's raw engine/hardware horsepower issues, not loading (based on the Youtube comparison video). Maybe the PS3 version will do better.

I'm still waiting for some really good pics that really show exactly what color of blue he is and how metallic. And how he looks all stickered up.

The likelihood of damage to my car by parking at the mall on Black Friday overwhelms any sense of "it's on sale!".

That's Roy's secret---alcohol-fueled valks get more thrust.

Great, but I still can't make Grace. Severe lack of basic office/secretary/business clothes for women. (same complaint I have for SC4 and even SC3---a basic normal skirt is nowhere to be found, when like half of all anime chicks need that) (and I could make a better Scully, too) PS--I really hate "hidden" junk like that. MS seems fond of it---do they enjoy people complaining?

PG Wing Zero actually has simpler wings with fewer moving parts, and less "useful" articulation than MG Zero. A lot of PG's articulation points are like 5 degrees and only add to the parts count rather than posability. And mainly--PG's wings are incredibly heavy due to having so much metal and rubber, and makes it incredibly top-heavy, countering much of the articulation since you have to lock down the screws to prevent it from falling over, and you can only position the wings as "back support".

Honestly, Devastator could be the hardest to do, since half his parts "come out of thin air". Menasor may work well, as you can have a lot of stuff inside Motormaster's trailer. (all depends on if they go for "cars ARE limbs" or "cars ON limbs" style for him)

Like a Mr Fusion on a DeLorean...

Non-chunky+transformed correctly=purchase-worthy.

Here's pics of where it breaks and what to look for: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&a...st&p=653985 ::edit:: This pic's good too: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?act=...st&id=56990 (you should NOT be able to see any metal--the exposed end of the pin is because the plastic broke off, and so the arm is now only held on by one end--which of course will stress the other end, probably causing that end to fail too)

Absolutely identical.

The Eurofighter really is THAT picky. But that's not that new---back in the 60's, the 727 had such close fitting parts that when the main 4 fittings for the wing-to-body join was done for each plane, they had to stop all other work/people/machines in the factory, adjust the temperature of the air, tools, and parts all to within .1 degrees, and the guy installing them needed to wear rubber soles to absorb vibrations... (side-comment----the automotive industry has no idea how close "close-tolerance" really is)

I think there was at least one broken stand-alone Roy.

Looks more like an F-18 to me (nose, canopy, wings, tailfins, overall proportions). Nosegear is an F-18's turned 180. Wings are an F-18's with extra panel lines textured on (even the wingfold hinge fairing is still there). Nose isn't a direct copy, just very very "F-18ish".
