I dunno, I stole that background plate somwhere, I think it's thailand but it seems to fit

I wanna play the photochop game too!

it looks a lot better VF-18S Hornet! I would have waited for sunlight thought, especially if you could have shot it with the light coming the same way as in the background. But it looks good!

you will see a difference between 10 and 12 in detail but you'll also see it in how well they take low light pictures. The 10 should have been picture quality in low light situations, like indoors, etc.

yeah, try the ram, it sounds like ram to me. I've ran lots of Asus boards in my day and I love them, they've always been stable for me.

fantastic photos!

I'm still waiting for a movie that's a thinly veiled movie about thin veils.

oh right, sorry, quarter.

yeah, that sequence was pretty fun.. even the opening sequence of the blackhawk dude slowly transforming and then wrecking shop. And yeah, I like the movie designs, they're fun and inventive. There are things that work on a toy, like using car seats as feet or sides of a robot that just don't work in a live action film. Do I wish the designs had more color and size distinctions? Sure, and I thought they did a good job of that in the rotf designs... well, until the end when a bunch of non descript decepticons showed up. I actually like the human level camera angles. It makes them look big, imposing and frightening and it makes sense conceptually... the first movie was about a boy and his car, the camera angles works with that frame work, seeing it from Sam's POV.

yeah, i think the first movies were quite inventive with their vehicle modes. SS transforming over hoover damn and then on the street, the helicopter, the freeway sequence, there was lots of great moments. The 2nd movie, not so much. Maybe the first shot of optimus rolling out of the cargo jet while it was in the air. And I like the bayformers. The original designs were cool when I was 8 but now they look like people in refrigerator boxes, I don't think they would translated well on screen to anyone except for the diehard G1 fans. And all the moaning about mouths on the bayformers, transformers ALWAYS had anthropomorphic mouths. I don't get what the complaining is about. The Bayformers actually look like weird "transforming" alien robots. I still don't like RotF though.

True, but I'm not a scale hound when it comes to TFs, I'm not even "collector" I only get odd figures that I think look cool and I'm just not impressed enough with voyager rotf SS... it's a HUGE step up from the first movie toy but still...

sure, put it on a faux column and call it a classic. lol.

huh... thanks for the link! I'm most interested in SS's jet mode though, I want a nice jet mode, don't care if the bot mode is compromised to do it... with that design who could tell anyways?

That would be awesome, a nice vf-17 would be wonderful.

Ew, looks like a scene out of Boxing Helena....

I have the VE, VT, low cis VF-1s, the DX Frontier... and *gasp* the DX armored ozma on order. after the new GBP armor later... that might be it for me until the SDF-1 next year. Well, depending on what/if the new sculpt proimised by Graham ends up being. As much as I like the M&M paint schemes, I don't think I'll be getting either the 1j or 22 versions unless they go on sale sometime.

lol, well done, the use of "cooking by the book" was inspired.

"Roy, you told me my father died in an acrobatic flying accident, zooooom-splat!"

I actually think that Bay is a great director for the franchise. He does two things well, car chases and explosions... I'm just hoping that the third movie goes back to that. I still think the freeway chase in the first movie was pure adrenaline... and car chases and explosions is really all I ask from the movies. He just needs to be reigned in so he doesn't live out his weird animal sex fetish.

considering TF2 just made more money than the first movie has since it was released... there's no chance bay will be replaced unless he opts out.

well, to play devil's advocate, it's not like the frontier "transforms" it just lays down.

sounds perfectly sane to me

Yeah, this and that russia is dumping it's renewed oil and gas money into it's weapons programs makes me wonder what the pentagon is thinking. Russia and China may not go to war with us, but what about their customers? And considering the US still refuses to spend any real money on getting us off of importing oil, we'll be in the region of petrol-dictators for decades to come and the conflicts are only going to get worse as peak oil sets in. Typical short term thinking. If we really wanted to cut costs we'd keep the f-22 and scrap the f-35 and just build tons of cheap f-16s and f-15s.

aw, that's too bad, I think it's a rather short sighted decision.

I hope you're not right about the SDF-1 being vaporware... I'm really looking forward to that thing...
