    I've never been able to display my PG Wing Zero flying----got an idea for that?

    Oh, whew, I forgot that he was going to try "one of each" and decide from there. For how expensive a 3P combiner is, it's a smart thing to do, before going all-in on one. As for TFC Poseidon----hmmn, maybe just wait for the next one: BlastOff needs to be a LOT darker, and Swindle more mustard and/or orange, but color-wise, their Piranacon turned out a lot better than their "teaser pallette" indicated.

    Ares had the legs "right way round" though. Anime52k8---- do the purples really clash that badly? You'd think two different companies made the figures.

    I'm about the biggest Piranacon fan around, but I see a LOT of issues with this: Ironically, I think it's almost an "ignorance is bliss" situation. If you only barely know the Seacons---then yes, this looks pretty cool. But if you have all their names/colors/configurations memorized for most of your life and could recite it in your sleep---then you recognize they're taking a heck of a lot of liberties with how Piranacon is arranged/patterned etc. And from just a raw design perspective---those are pretty poor leg-modes IMHO. The beast-limbs just hang there on the sides? That's unacceptable these days. MMC Feral Rex, UT War Lord, and UT Ordin did MUCH more with dealing with beast-mode legs, in leg-mode. And the tails just sit there on front? With the fins flopped over sideways? (It's also very much one of the biggest issues people had with FP's Intimidator/Menasor---the cars "faced the wrong way" on the legs---Menasor's legs have the cars on the back and the robot bits on the front, but M3 reversed that---Piranacon is the same way as Menasor---but like Intimidator, Poseidon has the robot bits on the back of the legs, and alt-mode stuff up from)

    Nope, don't like it. Love the S. This "looks like an electric car" if that makes any sense.

    Grace Pencil

    From the album: Reference

    Hmmn, I think I've uploaded stuff to my own gallery within the last 3 weeks. Let me try. ::edit:: OK, I uploaded a pic like I always do, and it worked fine. What exactly isn't working, and what browser are you using?
  8. David Hingtgen
    I might have ordered one if I knew these would be available.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Should have kept your Tristars in service a bit longer, they'd have SERIOUS range and payload capability if converted to sub patrol duties.

    Takara going ever-harder on toon-accuracy. Gun-mode placement is incompatible with bot-mode placement. Thus, no insignia for either.
  11. David Hingtgen
    Renders.
  12. David Hingtgen
    I first thought "every RPG ever". (Because the one room you don't check has the uber-armor and omega-sword in it).
  13. David Hingtgen
    As does nearly every jetliner.
  14. David Hingtgen
    It's an MP, which are becoming increasingly "budget-limited" all the time. Takara's designers have the will and know-how, just not the budget, to make "perfect" versions. For that, you need 3P.
  15. David Hingtgen
    VF-2.
  16. David Hingtgen
    The Russians say that? A whole bunch of people on the Key forums etc say the Russians can, but I don't recall they themselves claiming stuff like that.
  17. David Hingtgen
    I'm hoping/waiting for an "anime colors" version of the 0D.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I don't think it was ever stated, but I think it's fairly clear that "passive" stealth is achieved though shape, like an F-117, YF-23, or VF-17. "Active" stealth is much more likely some sort of overtech "field" or ECM emission or something, and means the valk can be shaped however the designers want, without compromising its stealthiness. In short, it needn't "look" stealthy to be stealthy.
  19. David Hingtgen
    They really should have got Peter Cullen to voice Coran again. That would have lent so much "legitimacy" to the series.
  20. David Hingtgen
    I'll wait for "Beta 2.0". I think that may be the best one to put under my Masterpiece Thundercracker.
  21. David Hingtgen
    I linked to his Twitter post, rather than hot linking the pic like most would, for the reason of giving him credit.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Headmasters is better than Masterforce, but that's not saying a whole lot. I went for "decreased time, increased enjoyment" after a few eps of Masterforce---I'd just fast-forward anytime kids were on screen. Did my best to watch only robot scenes.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I see that complaint a lot. It's not worth the effort to explain.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Regardless of Liokaiser-knowledge, this should make any "transforming jets fan" interested: Ironically, they seem to have made much better jets this time, than they did for Superion. Yes, there's still "robots under the plane" but it's better than before. And robot modes and coloring are much improved compared to their Superion. PS---even if you don't know Liokaiser, you've likely heard of the infamous "Breastmasters". These are them.
