    Hey, it’s New York, would be an awesome crossover.
  2. David Hingtgen
    They're flying as slow as they can for that photo, based on flap position.

    If you put all 22 VF-1's on display together, do they combine into a VF-22?

    Heck, wonder if it's enough time to re-render her eyes back to normal in every scene...
  5. David Hingtgen
    Highest demand (or nearly so), lowest availability, and even more F5-tapping than normal. People are still waiting on N-Y orders from many months ago. (they are slowly, slowly dribbling out orders). I may snag one if they ever do a re-release in Arad's colors, and offer super-parts for it.

    Gah, how'd I forget that? It caught my eye again in the last comparison pic I saw, just a couple posts ago. Yeah, that bugs me even more than the wings at this point.
  7. David Hingtgen
    Hilarious, and sad, that they JUST released the trailer...
  8. David Hingtgen
    I think that's about the best bet for me, personally. Fix the overall color (and pink-ness of the white bits), "lock" the wings in fighter mode, and it'd be pretty great. (Fixing the issues with Bandai's would take a major redesign of the wings/wingroots, and convincing them that graffiti--like levels of non-canon markings everywhere is a bad thing---AND they'd have to actually make more than 3 dozen to sell...)

    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!
  12. 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.
  13. David Hingtgen
    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...
  14. David Hingtgen
    See how they’re watermarked NO3LJM in the corner? Now see who posted it.
  15. 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:
  16. David Hingtgen
    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..
  17. David Hingtgen
    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...
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yup. Worst -19 feet ever.
  19. David Hingtgen
    ::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...
  20. David Hingtgen
    Nowhere near as much as Takara though. They LIVE for animation errors.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but did he say it with his mouth tilted and TWICE AS LOUD as whenever he says un spacy?
  22. 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)
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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?
