Knight26

Interesting, though I am not a big fan of combiner mecha, just too complicated, The series though does seem to have potential so we will see how that goes.

IMHO the prequels are all what I call five or six scene rewrites, redo a couple scenes and the movie improves tremendously. Also I think the best part of Clones was Obi-Wan's hunting down of Jango Fett, I would have liked to have seen more of that, more analysis of evidence, examining the different areas, etc...

*looks at Exo evilly* I'll be sure not to pass that little comment onto all the marines I know becuase we're friends, but watch the company you say such things in.

Someone asked for a comparison picture? http://www.mechahq.com/images/DSC00044.JPG

The new BSG in the UK starts back up for the second half of the season on January 3. Exo when I get back I will send you the torrent site I use, it has links to all the different sites and shows, etc... I am also really digging this new series, it is very cool.

um, pictures?

Oh man is someone going to loose their tail over this one, if it's pilot error, then that pilot's career is over, if Lockheed still hasn't corrected the PIO problem yet then their tails are in for some serious reddening.

In the OT we see officers which are definitely not clones, so why do we assume that all stormies are clones? If they are all clones then I doubt that they are still all clones of the same man, more then likely they are clones of multiple, probably thousands of different soldiers, but with the same programming ingrained into them. Let's face it, the sheer number of troops needed to subjegate a galaxy would make a strictly cloned army a logistical nightmare. Instead you start with your clones, recruit from the locals to build support and slowly pull the clones back to more essential positions. The clones were perfect for establishing the empire, as they were preprogrammed to be loyal to the emperor and were spread out all over by the clone wars. But in order to maintain an army the size that we are to assume exists you need to recruit from the locals, or at the very least build hundreds, if not thousands of more cloning facilities, which raises logisitical concerns of its own.

Oh if its what we want, I'll take Sasha Alexander

I'm getting a trip to Japan courtesy of the US tax payer and the US Navy.

Man I want films like that at work.

Holy Shreg that was awesome, now it just needs control surfaces and the pushers plates for the legs and it will be perfect.

Hey all, I just got a trip to Japan dumped on me today at work. Yeah yeah I know how can I say it was dumped on me right? I won't go into that here but it is a total mess logistically and I just hope it goes off without a hitch. Anyway, I will be in Yokosuka the first week of January and then, maybe (hoping not) Sasebo the next three weeks working on a couple of ships. So, I need advice on how best to dress for the weather, I'm hearing monsoons and cold, sorry but this desert rat prefers his monsoons in hot weather. ANyway how should I dress since I will likely be doing a fair amount of work outside on the launcher? Also, does anyone know any good toy stores in Yokosuka or Sasebo, especially for Macross goodies? I know of the Toy's R' Us in Yokohama, and if we have time I plan to stop by there. I am not sure if we will have any days in Tokyo, but if we do, the location of TRUs or other good stores would be appreciated. ANyway, hope the MWers who know Japan can help me out here. Oh and when is the Winterwonderfest, maube if I play my cards right I can arrange to have us in Tokyo that weekend?

Hmm, wookies and water, that planet must smell to high heavens. And I just still cannot get behind that new Jedi Starfighter, I am not a fan of the design.

No wait I've got it, "Jay and Silent Bob, Jedi Knights"

Interesting, NJO maybe?

Except for the huge fugly screws and hinges those look pretty cool, with some neat little features, like the removable engines. It even looks like they have an A-10, anyone seen that one, did they do a good rendition of my baby hog? I may have to pic one up just to see. Oh what the heck I'll get a couple for my 10 yr old nephew too.

Have to agree here. Really I don't see what's so great about her. here here

You can say that all you like, but I've seen that clip and that is indeed Natalie Portman. There is an ugly rumor going around that it is actually Agent One in a bikini. Now that one I might believe, except have you seen the *shudders* pics he has posted of himself with his shrit off, he has bigger boobs then her. Portman does nothing for me, maybe if she looked more like a real woman she might, but she doesn't. Give me an actress that looks like a real woman over her any day, like Monica Belluci or Sasha Alexander.

looks like a body double to me, and I will continue to say so until you can see the whole body and face.

Why would you want to see that, I could understand if she was actually atractive and looked like a woman, but come on she's got the body of a 12 yr old boy.

what anime is this from?

The way I see it is that the FB-23 will have an edge over the FB-22 in the eyes of the general judging the competetion in large part because it will have a more "convetional" configuration in comparison to the FB-22. The USAF has always been reluctant to approve any plane that does not match what they think a fighter plane should look like, hence the lack of deltas and canards in the US inventory.

Very Nice, can we see it with the bow cannon open adn what the firing effect looks like?

The "helo deck" aft of the bridge is a nice touch and good tie in to modern designs, but why do the textures turn white around the major edges like that?
