    Yes, but not that close. While the Yamato version was too widely spaced, these are too close. Something between the two would be "just right."

    I'd like to see the back of the battroid, maybe see why they moved the engines so close together in fighter mode, maybe it makes more sense in battroid.

    Found my Negative Matter as the Core Star Wars Tech Write Up. There is a scientific explanation for how Star Wars beam weapons work, Negative Matter, NM. While not ever observed, it is theoretically possible that matter of negative mass exists. If a civilization could harness that it would explain a great many things in Star Wars, but let's start with converging beams and lightsabers. While referred to as lasers and laser swords, what if, in fact the Kyber Crystals used by the Death Star Super Laser, DSSL, and Light Sabers, LS, are in fact a means by which to harness and control and NM? The glow we then see is a magnetic plasma (cold plasma) used to contain and isolate the NM. In a converging beam weapon like the DSSL, the individual beams act like giant LS's and keep the NM in place until enough has built up to reach critical mass for the target (A ship, a city, a planet), at which time an impulse laser forces the NM down the magnetic containment beam into the target. Tarkin's single reactor shots would indicate that the DSSL reactors might run, or contain, NM so that allows the DSSL to have a variable yield. Similarly, a NM core LS would explain how they react. LS have been seen to bounce off normal matter unless forced into them, and even a saber lock, where two LS's come into contact and remain together, are ended first, by forcing the LS's together. See, once the the magnetic cold plasma shell is breached, NM will repel normal matter, so when swung with enough force they would create a cutting edge (assuming say the beam is only a few atoms thick) and the cold plasma would cauterize the wound. Similarly, if two LS come into contact, the NM cores would attract to one another. But, due to the nature of NM, pulling will not separate them, but pushing would. This could actually from the core of all Star Wars weapons and tech (repulsor lifts, hyperdrives, etc...) The crystal fuel source from Solo could be an expendable version of the crystals needed to harness NM, whereas Kyber Crystals are far more stable and last longer.

    I can always approve of more 0083 mechs. I still find them to be some of the best in Gundam. Even the custom GMs looked amazing.

    That scene nearly sent me walking out of the theatre it was so egregiously stupid. Give us proper B-Wings, or Y-Wing follow-ons launching mega-torpedos instead. You still get the scenes inside with the crews fighting to get through the enemy, and maybe one crewer having to manually kick the torpedo off it's launcher, or something stupid. But it wouldn't be B-17s in space.

    While I like this more than the T-70, I would want a more "realistic" version, now the "toon" version, similar to how EC Henry did his. I just wish they would fix the cockpit issue. It still sits too low (poor forward visibility), and why can't it have a proper bubble, or at least rounded, canopy?

    True, but I think @Chronocidal was referring more to use of Gravity Bombs in TLJ. There is no good excuse for that beyond saying that that were sitting still directly over the planet and not in a free-fall orbit. That argument is full of holes though as their orientation did not reflect that. I hate that scene with such a passion, especially after Rogue One showed us a brilliant usage of Y-Wings on Torpedo runs.

    ANd honestly, the early images looked worse than the Matchbox toy.

    Here's the thing with Physics in Star Wars. Prior to the new trilogy, there was one theoretical element that could explain all SW tech, Negative Matter. Not Anti-Matter, but Negative Matter. While theoretically possible and even plausible, Negative Matter (NM), acts completely opposite of normal matter, having negative mass and energy. If SW tech had a way to harness and utilize NM then suddenly all the tech, even lightsabers become plausible. See the plasma sheeth of the lightsaber would basically be a byproduct of the kyber crystal extending a negative mass "blade." Rogue One and Solo even contribute to it, showing how reliant on crystals SW tech is. Those Kyber Crystals and Coaxium are likely the means by which they harness and utilize NM, and even explains how a hyperdrive could "leak" it is leaking negative matter because the Coaxium matrix is damaged. While TFA and TLJ didn't completely destroy that theory, they did punch massive holes in it, especially the gravity dropped bombs in TLJ (I almost walked out at that point). Even the fleet running out of fuel made sense (sort of) as normal space travel would largely use fusion engines, the Coaxium is used more to negate mass in hyperdrives and speeders. But even it could get used up. I need to find the write up I did on the subject.

    I'm still using an old ACAD license of mine. I am debating moving over to Fusion-360, but only if I can import my existing models and not remake them all.

    See, that Jedi trailer got it right, showed us what we wanted.... WEDGE!!!!! WHere is WEDGE in the Ep-9 Trailer? I was promised WEDGE!!!!
  12. Knight26
    I avoid Twitter whenever possible, what are they saying?
  13. Knight26
    The boys and I are pretty meh, but the promise of Wedge got out butts into the $5 showing on Saturday Morning.

    Imagine if comics weren't considered merchandise. RT would have died decades ago.

    I see a ton of JJ-isms that hurt me. An ISD-1 rising out of the ocean? Ugh Horses riding across the surface of an ISD-1. Ugh I WAS PROMISED WEDGE!!! WHERE THE F IS WEDGE???? What is up with all the ISD-1s? Palps will be some kind of robot, cyborg, or brain in a jar. C-3PO is going to make some form of sacrifice that turns the eyes red and either makes him mcguffin of the movie, or allows for the "transmission" of Luke's story to go out, per the early story leak. There will be force ghosts.

    @Seto Kaiba Do you mean the Antarctic Press Comics that blatantly copied lineart from DYRL and other Macross sources?
  17. Knight26
    Seriously impressive work.
  18. Knight26
    Then How is Brofessor still getting downvotes?
  19. Knight26
    It's a modified large scale RC plane at this stage.
  20. Knight26
    That raises a question, how do you downvote a post?
  21. Knight26
    MY Eyes!!! THEY BURN!!! I checked our Robotech Remix. The Wokeness, it burns so bad. The poorly redesigned Alpha, the Obviously Mardook Rip off "Bioroids." The oh so obvious, beating it over your head foreshadowing. The dialogue. All of it, beyond terrible.

    I was actually planning to attend for the first time in over a decade, but after seeing this and discussing it with a other old school MWers decided not to.

    @Seto Kaiba I figured the theory would have holes. But it was fun thought exercise. Also, while the Mac+ Sharon Apple incident was "Top Secret" it was such a public event, that the public likely would have demanded something regarding it. Hence just dressing up the Super Nova documentary to put the blame for whole incident squarely on the Sharon Apple team (whether they really were responsible or not). It's also possible that the story wasn't released until after UNS transitioned to NUNS as a means of showing why UNS needed to go away in favor of NUNS. The same could be said for the M7 docudrama. Has there been an official explanation for why UNS became NUNS?

    Dude, not only are you month late on this content, but really, so few of us care about this trainwreck. But like a trainwreck we just watch it out of morbid curiosity. Go back to RT.com.
  25. Knight26
    Started as fan made, but then became official after production moved to Mac-7. Didn't make that part clear. Wanted to emphasize that the maker of the series was more interested in building up FireBomber and Basara.
