    Quoted for IMMENSE truth.

    I wish the Max VF-1J would hurry right along...

    I legitimately laughed SO hard at this. Just the thought of your gun feeling depressed and not wanting to do its job is hilarious to me.
  4. Axelay
    Very exciting!

    I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. I've stopped reading other sites and strictly come here for Transformers news. This man is doing Primus' work.

    Full disclaimer - I have zero affiliation with this studio, but I have become a fan in a very short amount of time. The devs are apparently big time Macross fans, and so I thought I should try to bring this to the attention of gamers here. This game appears to combine similar elements from things very near and dear to my heart - Axelay, StarFox, Macross, Panzer Dragoon, and merges them with superior voice acting, an exceptional soundtrack, and a unique art style. There's a free demo on Steam now, and the full game is set to launch on the 25th of this month for Steam, Xbox, and Playstation. The MSRP is rumored to be only $19.99, which I don't even see how is possible. I was ready to go in all for $60. Launch trailer Into The Void trailer One of the first things which drew me into this was watching a livestream demo with the devs in which they were showing some of the livery options for the protagonist's fighter. I felt like I saw a clear pattern forming, and it hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw the names of the color schemes. There's one for Roy, Hikaru, Max, Miriya, and several others which haven't been shown yet. One of the weapons tech notes I found in the game's database is called "Itano Turbine," which uses "clusters of high speed and high accuracy missile deployments." I hope others here will consider checking this out. I am wildly excited about it now. This might be my completely unexpected game of the year.

    I absolutely agree. Having these in hand, it's almost undeniable that making Mixmaster and Scrapper be arms instead of legs just makes good sense. They make for quite interesting looking arms, and I always thought that they looked kind of odd as feet. From photos on TFW, I am under the impression that Hook and Long Haul may be coming next, so it will be interesting to see how these turn out and whether they have any particular innovations.

    I would be thrilled to have Captain Sulu. I honestly love the eclectic choices they're making.

    I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I have. They are so much fun! (And that's something which I feel has been missing from so many of the transforming things I have purchased in the last few years.) I forgot a few more talking points. - Rubber tires for both. These roll incredibly smoothly. - I hadn't seen mentioned anywhere else that - like Hercules - the pistols will all apparently combine into a rifle. - I am not bothered one bit by the non-articulated fists on the robot modes. If it makes for better pistol grip, then good. - The diecast piston on Scrapper's crotch is a huge laugh. I can just hear Jobby the Hong going "boioioioioioioing!"

    I received the first Mecha Invasion Giant Legion set yesterday! Here are a few casual photos from my desk. I can''t even remotely do a review as well thought-out as mikeszekely, but here are some of my thoughts. - Show.Z store is not playing around with shipping or packaging. Holy crap. I went through 4 layers - with bumpers - before I finally got to the toys. - Size comparisons against a Lego Mustang Dark Horse and Storm Collectibles Mitsurugi. These are considerably larger than I was expecting. - Both of these things are absolutely phenomenal. I love the aesthetic, the colorways, the tampo printing, the lightup features, the onboarding of all weapons and Devastator parts. - Transformation is right in that sweet spot for me. They are just fun to transform! - I am sick of the slavish insistence on "cartoon accuracy." Barf. I think moving Mixmaster and Scrapper to arms makes good design sense, and I can't wait to see how Scavenger and Bonecrusher incorporate Devastator feet into their alt modes. - I don't know what kind of voodoo or deal with the devil Mecha Invasion has pulled in order to get these at their price point. Under $100 shipped for BOTH is just insane. - Up until now, my very favorite 3rd party Devastator is still TFC Hercules. It's old, but I utterly love the incorporation of all of the weapons and Devastator parts. Giant Legion looks like it might just take Hercules' crown... - I surely hope the remaining 4 will be out within a year's time.

    I'm super picky about which Transformers or 3rd party-formers I buys these days. I still have a special place in my heart for TFC's Hercules, as I thought the weapons and Devastator-parts onboard storage was undeniably clever. I also loved using the treads of the tracked vehicles as forearms and not as shoulder fillers. Mecha Invasion's take on this is intriguing, as it appears to have the same onboard storage elements. I honestly like how clever it feel using Mixmaster as an arm, as it makes Devastator look like he's got huge Popeye-like forearms.

    I am so curious if anybody has in-hand yet the first of the Mecha Invasion Giant Legion two-packs? I couldn't resist preordering these.
  13. Axelay
    Which I greatly prefer, to be blunt. I never cared for the "black goo" in the first place, and now it seems like Ridley Scott has turned his dislike for Aliens into an anchor plot device point of the whole franchise going forward.

    I will gladly give my money to whomever makes Charlie from the Alpha series.

    Thanks for the review of this. I know I am in the crazy minority, but I genuinely *really* want that Ruckus. He was one of the last G1 Transformers I remember buying back when I was still in high school. Good memories of actually having my own car and money and not have to beg mom and dad for a Transformer. Old habits die hard - oorah.
