Well, to be fair, so far it has one advantage over the Sentinels. So far the female designs don't appear to look like men.

You wait until the very last minute of episode 6 before deciding "anything" is better than Gunbuster!

The movie was awesome, but they definately set a standard that wasn't followed. Crazy/Whiney Galvatron just wasn't cool. If they had used whoever did Cyclonus's voice instead for that season, he would have been a much better character. Boring/Whiney Rodimus was equally not cool. They spent way too much time that season having him deal with issues that were solved at the end of the movie. And then when he finally stops whining, they bring back Optimus Prime....and honestly, if they hadn't made everyone whiney battyes, they wouldn't have needed to. The definate highlight of that season though was the cameo by Cobra Commander.

Hmm, good question. I'd guess about not getting a proper release of Space Battleship Yamato! And don't forget, it also makes 9 out of 10 fiberglass cat robots shake with fear.

Hey Meh, "meh" !

I think Sony is supposed to be re-releasing it on DVD in september.

Looks like we were wrong. After searching for a bit this morning, I finally found a review from someone who's seen it.

However Ep3 has much more pop culture significance than some dying 20 year old hack job of a show that most people don't give a damn. vinnie 422161[/snapback] True, but my point being, security would have been significantly tighter on it.

Or at the very least, it's not actually finished yet, but hyping it up to have had "screenings" helps in the licensing to a distributer process, which would get HG extra dough to finish it. Besides, if people could get work prints of episode III before it hit theaters, I find it hard to believe that a review of this wouldn't have popped up yet.

Damn, now I even really want that thing...but must save money for DVD box set....

What would you do if you found out your husband was using his robotics engineering decree to build a little girl that he snuck home from wori in a suitcase? Pretend she's your daughter! Could you imagine how different that show would have been if he had been pulled over by the cops on the way home? There was a genius sitcom idea, "Small Wonder." They couldn't have possibly come up with a more fitting theme song for a show...well, maybe Charles in Charge....or "The Munster's Today."

Oh come on, an NDA for a movie 90% of the public doesn't even know about to begin with? Doesn't make sense, nor would it stop reviews, impressions, etc, from leaking out. I don't just doubt that anyone has seen it, I doubt there were any screenings to begin with.

That's a simple one, L.I.L.Y. Cat. It was released by Streamline years ago, but due to it's blatantly alien-rip-off-ness (I assume) no one's bothered to re-license it. Might be able to find an old tape flying around. I've been trying to remember this one for years too. What tweaked show'd they had on when we were kids. Speaking of which, does anyone remember that show (also live action) with the rip-off R2-D2 crossed with Mork, that lived with an old man in (I think) San Francisco?

That is actually an interesting thought, did they bother to have it animted widescreen.... And why exactly if there have been screenings, have there been "zero" reviews anywhere?

Oh come on, this will be the best POS since the sentinels. I can't wait to slap this beside it, and laugh at whatever new crumbling cat robots they've added to this. And better yet, how exactly did Tommy Yune go from fanboy to director in 5 years? This will be pure comedy gold!

Yes, Bandai would still have had the rights. Takatoku were only selling rights to use their molds, not rights to their whole design, that is until they went under/Bandai bought them up. Bandai would still own what they own, as they had much more money than HG.

Deja vu...

He defeats a LOT of varuta pilots, though. Sure it's non-lethal, but he still removes them from combat. 421250[/snapback] Not to mention he's the only one capable of dealing with the Protodevelin.

You don't suppose they're going to do some kind of uber top 1 & 2 box set are you....that'd be insane, and I'd gladly pay $200 for it!

And that's exactly why those toy's wound up at the Kay-Bee's bargin bin.

Yes, it was broken up, there's also a music video remix version of Tank, and some artwork galleries.

Being a performer doesn't dismiss Basara as an Ace any more than being drunk would dismiss Roy.

But he prided himself so much on risk taking and being better than hikaru and leaving him behind. I think he kinda deserved to die. Sorry to all the roy fans...... If we could measure it in terms of luck: 1. Max is the luckiest - never dies. Not even basara is better than him 2. Basara - doesn't need to shoot his targets and goes into battle fighting PD. These are monsters that even reaction weapons are useless against FFS. Exedol crapped his pants. But unlike max he takes damage from milia's rival. (unlike roy he isn't leading a team or anything) So it is possible he lacks experience against more elite alien pilots to have allowed that to happen. 3. Dyson third luckiest - took on the whole sdf1 all by himself. Yang tells him the odds of survival and he goes in recklessly against the odds. Unlike max and basara though it is possible the AI was going easy on him and didn't really want to kill him because it reasoned that all Dyson wanted was a challenge. Maybe the AI was merely providing that challenge as a game for him to play and had not intended to actually attack him fully. After all the AI "loved" him. 4. Guld. He is zentradi so he has to die. Kinda like how in a horror movie the black guy is usually always first to go. just kidding. But yeah he is the bad guy of the two because of the advantages he has with better technology. (sort of like rocky V when rocky had to fight Drago in his country, with Guld being drago because of the advantages he has ) 5. Roy. Didn't die heroically the way guld did where he rammed his plane to take out the ghost which saved lives. Both in the movie and in the tv series, allowed himself to be taken by surprise. (remember one of the skills is spatial awareness which is probably what makes max so good - like a spiderman "spider sense")Also: Maybe he WAS drunk in the tv series based on his actions in macross zero where he drinks and has no problem with that, we'll never know eh? Just because we didn't see it happen onscreen doesn't mean he couldn't have sneaked a few in before that fight against the qrau grunts.. 421084[/snapback] I'll agree with this for the most part. Though take into account that Max has indeed been hit. Don't forget that he lost his VF-1A in Britai's ship after taking on too much damage in hallway fire. While true his manuverability options werel imited, the same could be said for Basara while caught inbetween the massive numbers of Chloe's fleet. Both however survived, and returned to show up their attacker's again.

Don't see any real reason, unless you're an anal collector I have the original set, and from what I understand, the new 5.1 isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the video is the same. Personally, I like the original release covers better, but that also has to do with them not saying "remix" all over them.

I once saw this movie called robotech II the Sentinels, that these badly drawn flight suits that looked kinda like the ones from DYRL.
