    Part of it is that the truck mode is like quasi-SD to make it work. It's not blatantly obvious, but it's a far cry from 1:1 accuracy/proportions like an MP Countach mold etc. If they went for an F-16, it'd be even more obvious/worse. The engineering is impressive, but I'd rather have a more accurate vehicle and sacrifice a bit of screen-accuracy-bot-mode. (Though I know I'm in the minority of having such strong preference for vehicle-accuracy). I think part of it stems from the fact that any real-world vehicle can't have proportion issues---they're fixed. Whereas any "humanoid being" can vary a lot, over time etc, and there's a huge range of shapes. People vary, TF's vary, "any given model of a semi" will not vary outside a narrow range of available manufacturer options. "A bit stockier F-16 or Peterbilt 359" stands out in an instant as being fake/wrong, whereas the same doesn't for a person or robot. *yes I know he's not a Peterbilt in worst of the Bay films, but I don't know the model off the top of my head

    I don't think it's a good sign, that of like 5 official/semi-official trailer channels on Youtube with it, only a single one I've come across actually has HER as the thumbnail. Half show or say Jlaw inatead, the rest are Xavier/Cyclops.

    Rocky IV, Pt 2!
  4. David Hingtgen
    Because it’s like a 3rd-gen low-res low-rate rip. Just wait until tomorrow, when we’ll have like 4K 60FPS versions.

    I just realized, the 19 Advance, with its lack of NETFC's all over, and non-ridiculous heels, actually looks more like Isamu's -19 in the OVA, than this release does... Swap the ventral fins, and cover the SMS symbols with kites, and it's VERY close. Sigh, guess I'll just wait another decade for a really good new YF-19...

    See how they’re watermarked NO3LJM in the corner? Now see who posted it.
  7. David Hingtgen
    Nah, can't be -28's, the audience needs something newer, with a higher number, to be impressed. Gotta be at least MiG-30's or something. And just wait---this will turn out to only be Maverick's FIRST plane. By the end of the movie, he'll get a new FB-18H Super DUPER Hornet. With FAST packs:

    That pose makes me think very much of "Hercules wearing the skin of the lion he slew". Except more like, Optimus wearing Razorclaw's hide..

    I've seen a -124 long ago, from a decent ways away, but the -225 has never come within 500 miles of me. Some day maybe...
  10. David Hingtgen
    Yup. Worst -19 feet ever.

    ::cough MiG-33's cough:: I'm sure they'll be F-18A's painted in shark-camo, and the audience can't tell them from an 18F...
  12. David Hingtgen
    Nowhere near as much as Takara though. They LIVE for animation errors.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but did he say it with his mouth tilted and TWICE AS LOUD as whenever he says un spacy?
  14. David Hingtgen
    I think the heels are even worse than the wing tampo, but: If the wing tampo was at least the same size/symmetrical, it'd be a lot better. But the US SPACY is way bigger (goes outside of the black) and is at a different angle than the NETFC (aligned with rear edge of black instead of front edge of black). It's like two different people painted it--they each took a wing, agreed on "white, all-caps" but other than that, each did it their own way. And it looks very "lopsided" because of it. (and of course, the chest stripes STILL look all wrong)
  15. David Hingtgen
    No no, it'd be a full-production B-70A, one of many built... Considering just how many prototype planes end up being mass-produced in Strangereal (Wizard squadron is all YF-23's, Yellow Squadron has like 10 more Su-37's than were ever built), it's amazing they haven't done any "earlier" prototypes, like the F-108 mentioned above. TSR-2 would be nice, maybe the A-9.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Yeah---there's far too few earlier jets. They toss in one to start, and then you get the F-16 already in mission two or three..... Yeesh, you could make an entire game based just around the Century series.
  17. David Hingtgen
    I have a similar question——why does Mirage even NEED to steal a Draken? I’m guessing her -31 is either destroyed or captured?
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yeah---after I finished the HD remix version of re:coded I got the impression from reading about the original, that it was very tedious. I have only ever played them all on the PS2/3/4----but I have by now played just about every KH game there is. And I think it's true for most all the mobile/handheld ones etc---the HD remake versions, cut out a lot of the "fluff" of monotonous repeat battles/worlds, and just give you the "core" stuff with the main battles and cutscenes. (though I think 358/2 loses a bit---that one I think would have worked better as an actual game, and not just the movie they give) My overall feelings of the series so far: They're focusing on the wrong protagonist. This isn't Sora's story---it's Ventus and Roxas's. They are far more interesting/compelling characters. I decided I will always utterly side with Axel from now on. I demand some sort of super Xion/Ventus/Roxas/Sora fight in the end, with multiple endings.
  19. David Hingtgen
    I think the KO's head-sculpts are vastly inferior, so it's a pass for me. (I put a lot of weight on lion-mode, for my Voltrons)

    I never did pick up a Sandrock Supernova, and now it's basically sold out/$$$ everywhere---but it looks like it's going to be re-released soon. The cloak and "sword effects" parts not in the re-release, but I never did like the cloak. (and the effects parts are blue, which is totally wrong for Sandrock---it has heat-sabers, very Zeon-esque, they always glowed red/orange, both TV and EW) Does any mobile suit have heat-weapons that get so hot they glow BLUE? Anyways, I see they are also re-releasing Altron Supernova, but in TV Shenlong's colors. THAT looks cool, and I am very tempted. Mount the shield on the left arm, and only use one dragon-fang, and you have a very TV-esque stylized Shenlong.
  21. David Hingtgen
    That’s always been considered one of the hardest schemes to do—it has four colors, whereas most have three.
  22. David Hingtgen
    G-Gundam has Rain, and the best attacks in the franchise. Therefore it’s awesome.
  23. David Hingtgen
    QVA-113, calling it now..
  24. David Hingtgen
    Yup, I still want a white papal valkyrie...
  25. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just wait for a youtube clip of the last 5 mins...
