  1. It's not just Asians my friend but most minorities. But to be fair Joss does his best to keep everything equal in his shows, even if they do start off as stereotypes, eventually they break from those areas and become more fleshed out people. Gunn on Angel started off as your basic street black guy and changed to a pretty kick ass lawyer by the end.
  2. I finally FINALLY beat Sad Sniper on EX. Now i am trying to improve my overall score but all the levels that have containers I never get higher than a B. Am I missing something??? Also I can't seem to get passed a B on Macross + Era where you fight in space then Isamu and Guld. I want to get my S ranking so I can get my EX mission but feel i am missing something there too
  3. I am wondering with another constucticon in the mix if that will lead to devastator before the show is over????
  4. I believe she has been a doll for some time now, they just never used her. Didn't it seem odd she tried so hard to get next to the FBI guy (whose name eludes me right now)? She even shows up to his job, I mean really for want just to hang out??
  5. I do feel that we never do see or even understand the real threat in the show. It was never the Vajra but their are tons of questions about Galaxy and their side of things. Honestly the only people we know or see from galaxy is Brera, Grace, and Sheryl.
  6. I gots Nora, and I am more than happy with it. I look her color the most because of all the mechs I have it stands out the most with such a different color scheme to it.
  7. Why are we even talking about all of this? You mean to tell me you guys would actually buy such an ugly, and I stress UGLY figure, or figures??? I will be skipping Devastator. I all want is the new Leader Prime and the new Starscream. Those two seem to be the best figures coming out so far.
  8. , but now I am more interested in her purpose. If they could use her at anytime why aren't they using her to neutralize the FBI agent? What's really going on? Conspiracies, conspiracies.
  9. I am not the biggest fan of Mospeada and really only know it from Robotech (shamefully enough). I have always liked the designs though and had one of the smaller ride armors from back in the day. These new ones are amazing and incredibly kick ass. I love showing people how badass it is by showing them the bike then the armor it becomes. Though the price tag is heavy it is well worth it. While I will not go and get all of them I will definitely buy 1 if not two more. I do want the Lancer so I can have the blades on the forearm, and I may just get the Bartley because of the color scheme. If you can afford them get them you won't be disappointed. Even after having it for a week now I still need to use the manual to transform it. It is a nice complex figure that truly holds up.
  10. This isn't the first time though. Macross 7 could also be said that he was going for what was popular at the time. Actually most of his series tend to be what is popular at the time. I feel though he may have wanted to do something a little different this was overall great for the franchise and helps keep it alive after 25 years later. It's like the exchange in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. You have to do the safe stuff then do the artistic stuff. A show like Macross could easily fade away but he tends to bring it back to the fore front at just the right times. One could say Macross Plus and Macross Zero were more artistic hence why they were OVAs but the actual series are safe spots. Look at Gundam. They just rehash the same themes over and over but change them to reflect what's hot and popular or current with today's times and that's how it survives. I do like your opinion, it is good to see it from different views, I just feel I understand why he does things like the ones you mention and think it is a good idea. Now we are guaranteed to have more Macross for years to come.
  11. Yes there isn't much articulation but I have enough transformers with great articulation that it doesn't bother me. It is nothing more than a cool display piece that is small enough to be put anywhere you want and vehicle mode is accurate enough that most won't know its a transformer. Granted most of the classes binaltech and alternators were already like that but i do like this figure none the less. It isn't for everyone and only suggest you get one only if you want it. It may help to look at the videos on youtube if you are on the fence, then decide.
  12. Just got the silver Alternity Prime. Really cool figure with a simple yet slightly complex in the legs transformation. Very heavy, full of tons of diecast.
  13. Funny much of the promotional stuff was saying this will be the end of superhero movies as we know them. Too bad it is not how they intended that statement to be.
  14. But it should be higher, though it may not have as much screen time as the others it is the first valk we see transform, and was heavily featured throughout the first two episodes. (If you don't count the opening credits that is. and for those of use who watched Robotech first they opening credits didn't show a lot of valk action)
  15. Everyone here at Full Sail has been talking about that film since they saw it at the Enzian a few months back. Anyway that trailer looks good and should be a good film. Looks hell of a lot better than both street fighter and dragon ball z.
  16. Yeah I don't have the FPs for it and I am not going to panel line a toy I care less for but I do display the box though.
  17. Have we all forgotten the cinematic classic Fist Of The North Star???? Terrible terrible terrible film.
  18. That's just how it transforms
  19. It's not orange its red and it is the Toynami Crapsterpiece er I mean Masterpiece collection. I have the first released VF-1J somewhere because I still love the box
  20. On TFW2005.com they have the package for Grimlock and I didn't see his crown in there. Hmmmm guess they scrapped that idea. I wonder if my Starscream crown will work?
  21. Yep exactly how I thought it would be. That is one of the best reviews I have ever read. Too bad the movie will tank so hard they won't be able to correct their mistakes with a sequel or even get to the Z franchise. Another one bites the dust.
  22. As a vet myself I agree with others on the rank system. Global is the General, and all other roles are Colonels, Lower Generals and so forth. They can operate on their own command but must inform Global and his command section of everything. Global commands are law and when is in charge during major operations everyone listens and follows what he says.
