Those versions of the Imai kits that Revell had gotten... yeah, brings back loving memories. Awesome kits to build. Remember driving my mom nuts with all the 100 & 72 scale kits i hung from the ceiling...

Sure. Every sucky movie has potential to go to Blockbuster...

Battletech fans hate Disharmony Mold because they failed to understand the legal back story (me included). FASA, after reading the 'propaganda' (Ok, based on the podcasts, maybe he's pro-HG. doesn't mean he's on the payroll ), clearly screwed up with their lawsuit to playmates, first. after that, they got it in the rear as reprisal. I didn't get a pro-this/pro-that from the blog. just clarity, since i've read various versions of what happened in the legal case. it seems cut and dry. FASA screwed up. and because of that, it rippled across dozens of fronts. what changed after that? well, one thing, FASA was more selective on illustrations for their mechs. They went out of thier way to make sure the designs didn't look like HG products (or perhaps anything else being made in japan at that time) which is why there was a maked decline in design art (3060 curvetech and huge honking barrels, anyone?). You also saw how the computer games was affected. from the many, many designs (yeah Activision's take on CBT designs was quaint, based on the computer tech availible on Win95 systems and then Win98) to less. and less consistancy since the property changed hands (did Activision drop mechwarrior because of the Lawsuits of FASA/HG? probably, since they dropped Star trek properties just as quick a decade later with Nemesis's epic fail in box office) no consistance vision of the game exists... meh, im ranting irrationally. *waves*

The Unseen... Legal again? (Classic Battletech)
TehPW replied to TehPW's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So what is HG's status on Macross? Do they still claim some sh*te on the original artwork from Macross-TV? The warhammer art, i think, is from the their upcoming 25th anniversery book, in homage to one the versions of the orignal box sets back in the 80's. *looks at the entry on DSC's main page* Well, it's the pose of the artwork... but that design... hmm, have to look at it better. it's too roundy for my tastes. -
http://www.dropshipcommand.com/forum/dcboa...=7784&page= http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/in...ic,53514.0.html Uh? I was gonna post on DSC but i've been a lurker for years on DSC, as well as ©BT. So i figured i'd ask here, since it's the legal How-teh-&^%$-did Catalyst pull it off? that sparked my curiousity on this topic. So, since i think all of you are smarter than me, explain to me in little words (or mind-thrust me with the big words) how this is gonna work and how, if they even care it seems, will Disharmony Mold will react?

Macross Frontier News Thread IV *Read 1st post*
TehPW replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Gentlemen! Behold! FRANKENSTEINER! .... wtf? did a VF-17 and VF-11 accidently get beamed together here? -
in my mind's eye, during the first attack in DYRL, i see VF-1's and VA-3's in flight, to the toon of Def Leppard's Rocket i see the Invader as a contenporariy of the Valkyrie, just like Intruders and Tomcats... plus i just like how 'Bomb-truck-ish' the VA-3 is. it's the Y-wing fighter of Macross....
-
*hits the Retcon button several dozen times* pretty sure if Macross was edited or recreated for modern audiances, the transformation method of the VF-0 would be used for the VF-1 as well. why? because the newer method is better, more believable and still cannon. line-art is fine but it's the toys that sells a TV show and since most VF-1's made by the PTB, use the swing method. anything else is anime magic... wait... whut?

Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
TehPW replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I spent a month out at sea waiting to see the last two episodes.... and i really need pants.... obviously the DVD's will be worth to masturbate to, story wise. The triangle is open ended, something not quite done before (ok maybe how M7 ended left lots of honest reasons for the M7 OVA's but really. they made those for $), reasons for a sequel of sorts. doesn't look like a second season is to be had but.... glorious. 10, 10, 10. all my bitching aside, i give the series a 10 (then again, i gave M+ 10's too) of course.... does this mean Alto is gonna be a polygamist? -
it's just reminders of why we burn heritics with glee.... and to think i spent $ on those comics, the fool i was (So young, so loved homotech when i was little) though the original organic look of Harmful Goblin's STD-3 comes from the Paladian books, correct? funny... Homotech themselves hit the Retcon button. I wish someone dry humped the button so we can get a macross SDF recon brought to the US finally, without any legal dogs following the feces droppings... :/ Teasing aside, TU protoculture for reminding me of how old i'm getting *smirk* been a long time since i've seen anything 'Comico'...

/me pulls into port to flog RichterX with chains and wet noodles.... Heritic! You shall BURN! BURN at the steak! (You want your steak to be Well done or Very well done, sir? ) (Off topic) Who do i ask to get my name tag edited? from pensives_wetness to Pensive's Wetness? (On Topic) for the finale, d3v, your suggestion is probably what will occur (it would be so fitting since it's Alto's higher calling, after all...). Now the worry part is execution. how they gonna pull it all off? -
Macross Frontier Episode 24 Talkback Thread *READ 1st Post*
TehPW replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Certainly is the way to go if you want to shed unwanted or undesirable materials, such as materials you can't make any money off, anymore (Harmful Goblins, anyone). With all the legalize around the properties of SDFM, DYRL, M+, M7 (series) and MF, it's hella harder for those folks on Ze island to keep things cannon. Imagine if TOS was radioactive legally compared to TNG or later era shows? would that mean that ENT really was the base line cannon? lots of people, i hope, prefer the cannon smack on the shoulders goes to DYRL. I mean, HG can't touch DYRL, doesn't dare touch it. But HG 'owns' their copy of SDFM and because of that complete shite pile, SK will always, ALWAYS have incentive to move away from SDFM, chaing things in any way possible. I personally wish they would hit the reset button and recreate SDFM, to a modern audiance and with legalists in tow to ensure HG can suck radiator fluid. In a way, they did when they recreated DYRL. of course, when DYRL was made, the intent was far different (make some more $ on popular property... i'll talk more on this when i'm less volitile. as for the Eps 24? I'm excited but i gotta wait a couple weeks more before i look at ther mecha pr0n... -
Macross Frontier Episode 23 Talkback Thread *READ 1st Post*
TehPW replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
i wonder.... if some did a LARP of that segment, acting, what kind of reaction would one have? To me, clearly Grace was seriously horny/getting off at SUCCESS. She did get lead to the bug homeworld after all. so my question is this: Are we gonna see the Macross Galaxy suddenly showing up to take the spoils from what ever survives the Varja/MF battle to come? -

Cripes (Actually someone else ) I can't wait for the subs... what did Grace say when Ranka remembered the falling WTF-4, brere pushing her into the excape pod and then flash back to reality.... with grace looking at her (assumed etherally/ghosting/whatever). is the object inside ranka what allows grace to watch in such a fashion? is it cybernetic? obviously a fold gem is involved but what exactly? *drools* Please... Season 2. SK, i implore you... and do they have MF bumperstickers out? -

2 episodes left.... and for all this what if's.... here's the H-Bomb: Season 2? you think they can enclose all the sh*te Macross Galaxy is upto? Since i keep getting confusing vibs (Wiped out? Hidding in the shadows for the right time for SA for 4d6 damage? ) either way, i'd be pissed if ONLY 25 episodes get made. How is MF doing financially in gross market sales? -

Maybe i'm cofusing episodes here (two weeks underway does that) but what ship was destroyed by... blimping out? (might be 20. Youtube is my only link for MF) interesting end. Ranka willing goes with her brother. that's why she fled, she knows brera-bot is KIN. overall good episodes... -

TehPW replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
+1 Possitive Vote. I am Happy and confused again (the good, pins & Needled confused) i seem to recall saying Grace's agenda being very Jihadist, that is very narrow focused. Her utter callous treatment of Sheryl is one thing, but keeping her alive? If she admitted all that to her, has she no fear of investigation by NUNS authority? or does she assume that Sheryl won't say anything out of fear of disclosure of how far from the gutter she's climbed in her career... as a idol singer. Wow. You know what? THAT'S IT. Grace sneers at Sheryl, holding the trump card that Sheryl IS dispossable, her 15 min's ticking away.... at 50% off. -

... Better than last episode. I spent a week at sea with a bunch of nujbs. It was a much better episode. It's still unclear what ultimate goal grace has but i predicted lots more death of Frontier citizens... they lost 1 out of how many cyclinders so far? -
The Megaroad crew and the original "Triangler"- why the hang
TehPW replied to dreamweaver13's topic in Movies and TV Series
with the advent of the last episode of ENT, dear Azrael, there could be another fear that people may or may not have about open-ended situations about chars we hold dear: it was all on the holodeck/was a movie in a movie.... -
The Megaroad crew and the original "Triangler"- why the hang
TehPW replied to dreamweaver13's topic in Movies and TV Series
OH? Do tell, please (I'm curious) When exactly did he make that remark? i was under the assumption that his remark was reaction to some BS related to Robotech, or some odd question there of. For MACII, i thought he declined to work for them, though the possible reason he would? i could only guess but avoiding getting type cast makes perfect sence from a employee perspective. Now with that in mind, go look at the VF/VA-14 & and the VA-3... do they really fit the macross Valkyrie mold or do they fit molds comparing to stand alones like Mospeada's Legios/Treant, Southern Cross's what ever they originally called the hover tanks and go-bot copters, or Orguss's nutty mecha... plus when i keep hearing about his comment, basically saying they're dead (Hikaru & Co) i think of Gene Rodenbury and his ST '2 nacelle rule' after the fuss with the JF estate about his 70's cheesy book designs (The Saladin/Scout/Potenkin/Dreadnaught designs)... i wonder when Paramount or GR's estate will forget about that bullcrap ruling.... -

I VOTED 3, even though i only seen just clips atm. Yes, the Varja seem more or less the threat and far more the oppressed beings. but the sh... crappy part of the episode, even just from Youtube clips? the blatant reuse of stock photage? this is already as bad as Macross-7, as far as this type of laziness goes by production. i mean, 2 iconic varja missled deaths within a minute of each other? i'm still interested in the direction of the series, but visually? they are lossing me FAST....
