Is that a strawman or a serious question? Seriously, though, the double-handed meme does stink. Kingdom of Heaven did decent medieval choreography...

For some reason never been fond of the Phalanx. But I <3 the Macross II Phalanx Kai

I've still only burned half of my patched remasters. Gotta get the rest done ASAP.

Indeed. I still really enjoy Trial Frontier, especially for the half off I was able to get the first BD/hybrid for. But I soooo want to play the Mac 7 valks on my big screen in 7.1.

Is there a thread about the Macross concert in PS: Home?

Hmm... Fili & Kili don't look enough alike as brothers. Would have preferred if the "Chibi Aragorn" looked like the other. Most of the rest are ok.

Right. $150-200 is what I'm willing to do for an assembled and painted one in the same size. DIY means it's gonna sit on my bench for a long while and my bar is much lower. It could be simplified quite a bit. Scaled up Revoltech, for example with the main cockpit being a couple pieces not counting the guns, thrusters, legs, or eye. Non opening hatch (would probably be easy to make the hatch a separate piece but I really don't care if I can peek inside the thing since I'm never going to have the dismounted pilot).

That's fine. Especially in Gerwalk.

Wow, I'm impressed. That looks really good. I was never a big fan of Alto's, but thinking I might want it. Armored. And Armoed Ozma. I don't particularly care for the Super or Tornado packs, though Armored is awesome.

No shiznit. Didn't remember that at all... 46 huh? Gonna watch now.

Was always Battroid in the cartoon and we never saw it connect to fighter.

Hell yeah, I've loved Wake ever since BF:1942. Even though I had hundreds of hours of great fun with BF2, I still look back with the most fondness of BF:Vietnam. Something about that game. I loved Khe Sanh. I remember hoping DICE would do a "BF:Vietnam Mod" like they did with the WWII mod for BF:Vietnam, but they never did. I tried to go back to it once but just couldn't take the retrograde in graphics and controls. The doppler effect on Vietnam-era music from a jet or helo flying by still makes me laugh, though.

I still would like to see updated designs, but carefully done. A Nolan Batman Begins-style live action could be very very cool.

True. I think a retcon is in order. Rather than having the covers go all way up, the individual panels should just slant open, kinda like the VF1 Master File showed as an intermediary step (and IIRC was part of the VF-0 trans). The slants should be enough... why should the whole thing need to go all the way up?

ah all this reminiscing... found some screenshots.

That stuff didn't work against me in the tank. If I was on a roll they would have divert a good chunk of their team to take me out if I had a good mech with me (and I usually played a mech, too). Artillery wasn't doing anything to me, that's for sure. another great feature on PC... mouseover, was it Q and then right click and select the appropriate option. Easy to call out specified guys even without a mic (though I ended up getting a headset later).

The space argument always seemed a bit... lacking. It might not be as deep as the YF-19, but about the depth of the v2 VF-1 seems like it should be doable.

Noone here assemble or paint one yet?

so I WILL one day own an armored VF-25S with reaction missiles and Mikhail's sniper gunpod?

lol that was me. If I wasn't driving the tank, I was being a mech for it, but really I tried to be a team player. I would be a sniper if we lacked one. Or I'd be a commander, too. I tried to fit in wherever, though I preferred to be in the tank (and later on the fighter). I still have some screenshots somewhere of my 67 kill / 3 death matches. "Commando out of the bush trying to put C4 on me... full reverse, and sweep with the m achine gun, yup, got him in the forehead ). Later on with the jet, i got REALLY good, though something like 90 kills and 2 deaths. All match I would be bombing fools and shooting down the other guy. Damn, I miss BF2. That was what made BF2 so much better. It made it easier to coordinate by encouraging and facilitating the coordination. Sure, every now and then there were lone wolves, sure or guys who wouldn't join squads even if invited. And there were times you had noone willing or able to step into the Commander spot (usually when the other team kept infiltrating and killing the Commander, who had to concentrate on surviving more than commanding, etc) but I never found it too hard to take the commander spot and start giving orders to squad leaders. The increased k/d rates usually convinced them, but even so the lone wolf served a useful purpose as a bullet/spawn sponge unless they were really effective in which case it didn't matter.

I usually wait for v2 and/or combos and have the inclination to wait to see if there's a Sound Booster combo, but I could live without it. How long till the first HLJ sale?

Will they consider a partsformer? IOW, "standard" mode is perfect transformation without the room, but we could swap out the leg panels or whatever and sacrifice the landing gear with the appropriate parts to have the bays? Kinda like the VF-1 detail version or the DYRL with the destroyed guns.

Warhawk is the closet game to BF2 in "combined arms" action, but the thing BF2 had going for it that no other game did was the most realistic and hierarchical system of communications, command, & control. Commanders talking to squad leaders, who talk to their squaddies. Well coordinated BF2 teams were a joy to be on. Can't wait for BF3

The worst is the Anakin with the placement of it's control box. Luke is one of the best. At least the MR ones. They should definitely do more leather or cloth wrappings on the grips, you'd think.

I'd probably lean on the VF-17D over the VF-17S, but think I'd like a complete Diamond Force, so two VF-17D and one VF-17S
