This goes in the MPC thread pinned at the top.

I got real lucky yesterday. For some reason QVC.com was sellling the Sandisk 1gb Memory Stick Pro Duo for $39.99! I already got my order confirmation and it ships out on Monday! They sold out about 20 minutes after I ordered mine.

I do not like this show. Maybe if I had never seen Bruce Timm and Co's Batman and New Adventures of Batman and Robin I might have. The Joker is lame in this series. Actually the whole thing is lame. I will just have to live off of Batmans few appearances in JLU. At least now I can get the Batman Animated series on DVD.

OMG. I have to have that one. That has been my favorite saber since I was a kid.

Back to transformers please. What did you guys think of Ironhide being a Scion xB? Ehhh I am warming up to it. Its definatley more contemperary.

I have already heard many psoative comment from the press screenings. I cant wait.

I still consider Beast Wars the best. Yeah it starts out without much connection to G1 but by the end of season 1 you are hooked. I have all of Gen1 on DVD. Cept for a scant few episodes its pretty bad and quite funny. I would rate the shows I have seen like this. 1.)Beast Wars 2.)RID(plots were stupid but I liked the hand drawn anime look) 3.)Gen1 4.)Energon 5.)Armada(the worst show by far IMO) I never got to see Beast Machines so I cant comment on that.

Its very interesting so far. I cant wait to find out what the twist is.

I am hoping at least one theatre in town gets this June 10th but I may have to wait an extra week or two.

The yellow-orange Shockwave, named SixShot, is Laserwave's younger brother. Galvatron tricks him by claiming Grand Convoy killed his brother. Hands down, the best Transformers series ever made was Beast Wars, due to its superb treatment as a serious scifi programme, powerful material, excellent performances by a cast that enjoyed their work and wonderful character development. Armada suffered from bad animation and poor early episodes that focused far too much on the kids - this I wouldn't mind in itself but the kids were written very badly in the dub. Apparently when the japanese redubed the show into Micron Densetsu, they went to pains to fix alot of things. Around episode 14, it gradually got better, with nice episodes focusing on Hot Shot's growth as a character, and Starscream's continuing development from Megatron's second in command into an honourable warrior in the mold of Beast Wars' Dinobot. Superlink started off with a bang, with lots of nice development and characterisations, particularly Demolishor's. But then it lost its way after episode 25 or so when they went to the other side of the universe and began to do nothing. The combiner teams, because they were developed late in the line, were kind of shoved in at the last minute, so Studio A-CAT never had time to do a proper combining sequence until the Special one-off episode. And the series had a terrible ending with Galvatron and Grand Convoy growing big and fighting each other. Really bad animation by the end, too. Energon's dub was a clusterfark. Most of the actors are very good on other dubs, but are terrible on this show due to the speed of which the shows were made, no doubt at the behest of the Cartoon Network and Hasbro. Galaxy Force is shaping up to be one of the best modern Transformers series. Gonzo's animation is excellent, and the writing, while not superb (the Speedia races were drawn out far too long), is the closest we've ever gotten to an american-style series from Japanese writers, in that its relatively serious, the humans are not the stars but actually helpful, developed characters who don't get in the way. And there's some great character development in certain characters that show there are shades of grey. Yes. Beast Wars is the best. It is the peak and I dont see any show getting better. If you have the DVDs you can watch interviews with the writers/directors of the show. They were really set out to make a great well written sci-fi show that just happened to be in the Transformers mythos. Not some half assed too many charicter toy mongering show that Armada and Energon have been.

No I havent gotten mine either.

You can get it at Wal-Mart for 59.97

Yup. Thats my next one if they make one.

Yeah for some reason SNK USA did that on MS3 on Xbox. They got alot of emails about that lol. The newer titles they stopped. I have a PS2 but like I said I like the online scoreboards in the Xbox versions.

I like this movie. I can see where it would have been great as a series and some of those ideas made it to Victory Gundam. I do love the Starwars-ish musical score. LMAO.

LOL. I got the blue one in my last box of Frosted Flakes. Theeeeyyyyyrrreeee Greeeeaaat!!

LMAO. SNK is in no situation to buy Sony. That would be cool though.

I hope SNK buys Sony. But it won't happen. Oh hell no. I like SNK on multiplatforms.

The Xbox one is. They made it so you can only continue at levels and not where you die . That means you really have to learn the levels if you want to make it through them. It makes it much harder but also extends the life since if you want to beat it you have to practice and learn the levels.

I think I will hold out for the Xbox version in June since it will have the scoreboards. I was number 8 on the Metal Slug 3 boards for a month till I started slacking. Plus MS3 is a damn hard game lol.

$5.00 to the first person to get me a fansub of this. Damn I have been waiting for this for years.

My wife got me the Anakin/Luke Saber.

Or, it could be what George Lucas said it was. That reference by Palpatine doesn't have to have any relation to Anakin's birth. Now, I could see the need to assign it that meaning if it had been mentioned with no obvious purpose. But it already serves as the plot device that motivates Anakin to consider the Dark Side. It doesn't need to serve two purposes. And, according to Lucas, it doesn't. I have to agree with you here, but its too late. They'll debate this 5 ways to Sunday no matter what anyone says. Exactly. Palpatine just spun that yarn as one more lie to make Anakin think that the Dark Side is right for him.

Looks great so far. I only have one minor complaint. Christian Bale's "Batman" voice is kinda weird. I guess I am just use to the Michael Keaton/Kevin Conroy(Animated Series) Batman voice.
