  1. Finally got to watch Oppenheimer. Interesting how Nolan framed the narrative. Definitely made me want to learn more about what actually happened, just to see what was artistic license versus historically accurate. One amusing personal bit: right before the big Trinity payoff, of course the stream decides to conk out on me! šŸ˜…. Stupid internet connection!
  2. Us knuckleheads in the US wanna watch Macross, even if they just give us the tuna head (instead of the whole tuna). Instead, we get the irradiated carp of nothingness and are told to enjoy it.
  3. And only one of those can probably hold a pose solidly, right?
  4. I’m missing the vocal harmonies with her bandmates, but DAMN 🤤:
  5. Just don’t transform the Alpha. Ever.
  6. Dusty as hell, but still been holding the crown of best Alpha-Beta/Legioss-Tread combo for the past decade and a half: Wonder how much longer it will hold on to that crown.
  7. And no explanation of where the series may show up again? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Kinda defeats the whole purpose of having a streaming service, if they keep removing content.
  8. In this day and age of instant news, it’s crazy that we’re only finding out now. Always remembered him as the dad from Good Times.
  9. And I think we can all agree they made some horrible design choices with the Alpha: diecast in all the wrong places, whatever disintegrating material they used to make the hands, the brittle/refuses-to-stay-together-with-crazy-glue ā€œmaterialā€ they made the hip joints out of, and the banana boat fighter mode a few were cursed with. Just to name a few. The Alphas were also always tricky to pose nicely in battloid mode and weren’t exactly the sturdiest of toys.
  10. Is there anything we can reference back to about the Beta fighter though? I know I have pics of the prototype from Summer 2005. But I don’t recall the partnership with Aoshima and Toynami being announced until a year or so later.
  11. Haven’t seen too many live versions of this song:
  12. Looking over the Toynami, the rear landing gears are placed on the back half, on the block that has the center booster. Assuming the boom is only in the front block, there should be enough room in this rear block to house the landing gears. Now how to design it somewhat consistent with lineart and be able to hold up the bomber’s weight? That’s beyond my pay grade. šŸ˜…
  13. I’m sure they’ll show more pics and features of the Tread in the upcoming months. Just the fact that they’re showing colored prototype pics now and said they’ll be taking orders before the end of the year are good signs.
  14. Gladiator III: Portugal Drift.
  15. Sabine’s in stereo:
  16. ^^Pretty much. It’s also shows off that the design has fewer gaps and some of their improvements to the cockpit and connecting boom.
  17. Surprised no one picked up on the bicep armor the Sentinels have but that the original show never had. Considering how snake-bit these Mospeada toylines have been, I’m just glad to have the main four’s Ride Armors up on display after all these years.
  18. I know there’s some noticeable differences, but isn’t the Sentinel versions pretty damn close to the original designs? Biggest changes would be: * Getting rid of the HUD lines on the visor; * Removing the mudguard on the front wheels; * Adding cloth to cover each figure’s torso; * Changing the bike headlights on Stig and Rey’s rides; * Sanding off the grey bits on Yellow’s missile bay covers; and * Repainting Houquet from that horrid hot pink to cherry red. Am I missing anything else?
  19. Hopefully, they’ll pack in a nice plethora of accessories for the beast too!
  20. ^^Technically, we don’t have Rey yet, so I’d be curious if they include his bike as well. Also there’s definitely a slight change around the ā€œneckā€ area, when you compare pics between soldier mode and bomber mode. Crazy that they pulled it off and seem to have enough space for a same-sized pilot in the cockpit. And it’s interesting that the wings have hardpoints on both the top and bottom parts. Anything else we’re not picking up from the pics?
  21. Yeah, that what we all seem to be seeing. A shorter boom is one of the benefits of Sentinel’s design of the Legioss. Because the Legioss’ feet/boosters collapse so compactly into the rest of the fighter body, you don’t need as a long of a boom to connect the two. Yes, there have been complaints about the Legioss stand-arm breaking. But it also gives you a sense of how long the connecting boom will be. . . which is surprisingly shorter than Toynami’s boom.
  22. Pretty much. It’s clear where the Legioss is going to connect to the Tread (for the connecting boom at least). But wonder where the stand connection will be: on the Tread’s connecting boom or on the back of the Tread itself? Also, for ā€œgits and shiggles,ā€ I snapped a pic of the Toynami combo from a similar angle as the one done for Sentinel’s rendition: Had to wipe off the dust her to make her look a little more presentable. šŸ˜…
