I mean the robot mode, it's neat, the design isn't terrible at all it's just the esthetics and lines are interesting and over done which brings out a ........neat appearance. But after that, you put it into the other two forms...damn is it awful to look at, just absolutely awful. Like the entire budget went to making the robot mode cool and the rest just after birth defects.

I see the resemblance there for botropolis. I might still have countdown in a storage tub. There’s several micromasters I probably still own that I have yet to come across due to free time. as a kid I definitely had a lot of them cause folks thought the value was better, even if they came with a base, had several. gonna try my best to save up the cash to afford omega since I really want him. I’m happy with the old energon year of the dragon variant I’ve had for over a decade with the maketoys upgrade. But this is just a better looking figure to me.- 16674 replies

Seeing how I've missed him twice, and everywhere else is putting him at an outrageous high price, I bit the bullet since it'll be a good 11 months before he's released. I'm a little surprised Countdown comes with him, I thought that microbot was a Zone character which would been those base sets....I could swear I had this rocket base he came with. Well, that's still pretty cool, so. yeah got it.- 16674 replies

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru Witch from Mercury
Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I just finished all 6 episodes myself....I'm not a fan of the japanese audio, with the type of animation they were using, the way that japanese voice acting is done just doesn't match well with the animation style given due to their over exaggerated sounds of grunts, gasps, groans and speed of talking, however with english it flows fine and the animation styling isn't anywhere near as jaring. It's sort of hard for me to articulate what I mean, but if you compare the two audio tracks you might get what I mean. The character animations are still rather flat for this kind of work, which is a damn shame because so many studios do a way better job, but it honestly felt like the entire budget went into mobile suit designs, battle coreography and environmental set designs. While there's very little change to Zeon mobile suits, and we get a nice heaping of the Gouf Custom, there was A LOT of liberties taken with the Gundam, GM and Guntank designs. You know what, they actually strongly to me, remind me of the G40 RX-78-2, almost like a marriage between the G40 and Thunderbolt. Anyone else get that feeling?- 3589 replies

So Mike, lemme ask you, is Dinoking worth it, either price point or collection wise? Besides Haslabs Starsaber and Deathsaurus with their mini bots, I don't believe there are any other characters that've crossed over from the Victory series right? I've got it pre-ordered, but I don't like the looks of these core-class figures at all, and with Dinoking, I barely even care....it's just more along the line of it being more Victory characters.- 16674 replies

It would seem next tuesday will be the digital release of the film. But what's odd is I can't find any confirmation just supposed rumors and a lot of those rumors are based how lacking the film did in theaters. Which I honestly call BS on as we now have D&W, Romulus and Beetlejuice 2 already out digitally and those time frames weren't to far from their theatrical releases...I just see it as the sign of the times. If you wanna see it now, see it in theaters or just wait a month or two, not 3-6-9 months like it used to be.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru Witch from Mercury
Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Okay just finished it, i'll give it a 2.5. The voice acting is fine, it's good even. But the gameplay just sorta sucked. I think you could had made this entirely first person perspective with it being entirely interactive and had a better game. There's very little mobile suit combat, and no actual guide into what you're supposed to do at certain moments until you play around with things to get some kind of response. $20 is a bit to much for this, I wouldn't even pay $10, it's short, it's some what pointless of a "movie" and there's little to do other than sitting there waiting for something to happen. It also has 2 choices for your ending, I've played them both and they're just meh. I have yet to try the mr. battle and mr. gallery, sort of hard in a small space.- 3589 replies

Silver Phantom is out for the Meta, Considering it was under 20 bucks I decided to give it a whirl. Thus far there isn't really much interaction after 20 or so minutes in. The start of it was mostly just being an awkward third person camera with cuts that leave you going "WOAH! That's to close!" to either environments or characters. Mobile Suit controls are used via stick levers on your left and right like a traditional MS, sadly no gyroid like newer models....damn. To use your beam rifle the reticle tracks via your head movement left and right up and down. When it approaches the target your rifle will fire, then pull back on the right stick to reload and then pump it forward to fire. Your shield is the same manner controlled via your left lever to pull it back or forward. When not in combat you push both sticks forward to dash. saber to saber combat is similar, right lever pull and push, left lever for your shield, it seems to be turned based. But if you take to much damage due to the clunkiness and bad response time of your controls, you die. So far I took down only 2 suits and now I'm feeling like I'm in a MGS konami game and just watching awkward camera angles and animation. If I were to give this thing a score right now out of 5, I'd give it a 2. I would had rather this was more interactive and being the character rather than just being a camera with the occasional MS controller. But I'm giving it a pause for today, first time on VR in over a year has given me a bit of a headache.- 3589 replies

wouldn't hope for to much of it being related to Amanda though. Considering that Zulu's story I think is about to end with the new VR Game coming out this holiday. And according to the novel's she's in cryosleep to prolong her life due to her cancer. -

Hmmmmm.....Titan size Star Convoy, I guess that's not terrible I mean he was supposed to be a rather large size Transformer and I wonder if he'd be paired up with probably a core class repaint of Rodimus. But I think I would pass on that to be honest. I really want these G2 dinobots though, curious on how they'll tackle that if it's just gonna be Grimlock, Slag and Snarl and which colors cause there were at least 2 decos that came out, blue/turquiose for Grimlock, Green/Red both for Snarl and Slag. Or will they also re-release Sludge and Swoop with some sort of interesting deco?- 16674 replies

That’s a hard one, as a former dubber, I had to rip dvds, try to isolate as much stuff as I could to get a sound effect I needed. I managed to gather around a gig or so of various sound files, but I don’t offer them, I worked hard on getting what I could. Usually this can be achieved with professional equipment and skill, but Good luck to you man.

Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's unfortunate. I'm pretty sure they're using the audio from the Bangzoom Studio dub, and a good buddy of mine plays Athrun Zala for it, Chris Hackney. I've seen at least the SEED dub or most of it, never encountered any issues with it. I have yet to watch the Destiny dub since it was my least favorite of the two. But same time the dub was completed years ago, I wanna say 2020 was when it was finished. That's why I wanna give it the benefit of the doubt and say it's a Netflix issue versus a dub studio issue.- 3589 replies
