  1. Well, Shoji Kawamori is listed as one of the designers of the original G1 Convoy/ Optimus Prime 1984 toy.
  2. They're almost literally based on G1 Convoy's (Optimus Prime's) hands from the 1984 toy- Arii model: G1 Convoy/ Optimus:
  3. Thanks; those are my builds.
  4. Yeah; sounds like a cheat to use conventional locales instead of far flung exotic ones... >_>
  5. Keep in mind also that the Emperor is pretty arrogant, and isn't overly concerned at this point. He probably doesn't even consider any speeches by a single senator to have much to threaten him with. And even if she got away, life for her is over. Her political career is gone, her connections are going to largely disown her (save for those to the Rebellion), and friends and family may prefer to remain on Palpatine's good side rather than stick their necks out for Mon. At least, that's how I think the Emperor would feel right now, but I'd like to know your thoughts on what I said just now.
  6. The Imai kits do have a certain charm, and can actually be nice builds when some work is put into them:
  7. Do you still have Hasbro's address? Asking for a friend...
  8. WOW!!!! BTW: great to see you back on the forums, Oiltech!!
  9. Or maybe a new story set after RotK?
  10. Hey, we all start somewhere, and you're doing a great job thus far! Don't worry; each build will expand your skills and before you know it, you'll be helping new folks out as well!
  11. Understood; yeah, seeing how Isamu worked the foot pedals on the YF-19, Johnson wouldn't really be able to do that very well. By the time they made any serious advances (like Delta), Johnson would probably be retired anyways (or dead from a Dyson-induced stroke!).
  12. Thanks! It took me a bit, but I finally got it to work! Now I just have to find/ print ones for the 22 inch (1/537) cutaway TOS E that I'm working on. The ones that came with it are the wrong font and the wrong size; since this was a find 2nd hand, I cannot get replacement ones without paying a chunk for them. ANd that's also not counting a replacement dome for the split one they included for the one war engine that's cut in half (trying to build a whole one). Looking pretty decent there Chaz!! Between both modes, the details flex and fluctuate quite a bit (ran into this when I was rebuilding my 1/3000 Matchbox SDF-1).
  13. I didn't even know it was robotic; I wouldn't even call that a "lucky guess" so much as Macross Chronicle revealing something we didn't know. I just mentioned it in passing over Macross and replacement limbs/ implants. With that revealed, I suppose he has a post implanted that the leg attaches to and allows for some dexterity/ feel?
