    there is a tiny peg on the bar which is connected to the shoulder area....it snaps if you apply just a tiny bit of pressure while you could be rotating the shoulder around for robot mode or back to bike mode.

    Well since it was in a parking grage with not alot of light it's hard to tell if it was brown, yellow or a rustic orange. As for the replacement bar, i was excited at first but now I'm having my second thoughts....was just mentioning it to someone and they think it might be offered to those Japanese stores.....since they don't ship their replacement parts over seas.

    Right, if I end up distributing this I make ZERO profit off it, infact I'm more taking a hit off it with the shipping then I would for the materials since I buy this stuff at work where I get a discount at...not much, pennys, but it's still something. And I even take that discount into account on the pricing. The most I think some people would pay would be like 5 bucks with shipping and DVD. I'm wondering also if Screen Saver running would have any affect on the encoding process either......or maybe drive speed? The DVD's are meant for 16X, and I've even gone ahead and lowered the speed for better quality....meh I'll try it again tonight without even a screen saver running. The DVD menu for the movie is also very cool, I took a small amount of the scene between Roy and a SV-51 going all the way to him shooting down the missiles, course it's edited down to about 24 seconds, from a minute and a half clip. So the menu has become completely animated. I'm also wondering why chapters don't seem to pop up when selected on the menu screen......it might be the same issue, stuff going on in the background. Well just more experimentation before I finish the movie yep yep! I'm about 98% complete.

    Lastnight I guess in my sleep I knocked my garland off my desk. Course the right arm went FLYING off, found it 4 feet away by my TV center, but the left arm was still in perfect shape and the Garland in general was just fine.

    That's my initial goal is to do all 5 episodes. The projects been in the plans since I think right after Episode 1 or 2....the biggest problems are hitting area's where the BGM isn't existing in the 2 OST's, or there's an Sara singing, but it's a unique variation and I can't somehow drown out some of the japanese vocals or there's a special sound being used and the japanese vocals are going off, shin's talking or what ever, or grunting, so it sort of makes things difficult to use. I've hit those snags in Episode 1 as well in many moments, but the English dialouge was able too drown that out so you really don't take notice to it unless you listen in very carefully.

    Thanks, sadly my VA for Mao caught a cold while she was in Alberta last week.....so I gotta wait another week or two before she gets better enough to do her lines....I'm now 2 weeks behind schedule and now gonna look at a July release. Episode 2 wont be released till August or September.

    Lil lacking in detail, pretty simplistic design but I reallyc an't complain on it since it can be used to mess around with. Wish I could do just make my freakin own like I knew what I was doin.
  8. Hikuro
    You're right, they shouldn't and I'm very upset with Yamato for not doing anything about this when they could of. I'm very upset that mine broke so easily and now that right arm flops off cause all that's holding it together in Slave mode are the magnets and they just really aren't powerful enough to mess around with.

    Thank you, she's a pro from FUNImation, she's been in Fruits Basket the last I heard....she was also doing some auditions for leading roles that FUNI managed to get the liscenes too but I can't remember the titles....she also does some fandubbing work of her own like scenes from Aquarion and Sailor Moon etc etc...she even did Minmay for a few of my old SDF Macross scenes that never got released online. Also the girl playing Mao is a professional who I think works for Ocean Group. Last role I remember her doing was just some extra work for Inuyasha and was auditioning for a role in Hikaru no Go. Her and I were in an ameature VA Panel at Sakuracon back in 05, dont' know if anyone was there from Macross World though, doubt it. Also since it was just a rough draft, I deleted Scene 6 from Youtube.com I know ppl who read this board will want too watch it to see for themselves, but seeing as it was just a rough, there's no point in having it up when the final is completed. But if you guys wanna see just a cheapo trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dFtcd9vQxk It features the voice of Allison Rose who plays Sara Gnome for othe dub. She did a fantastic job in starting scene as Sara when she tells Shin to leave the island. One of the toughest things about Fandubbing is finding people to do voices, not because fandubs suck, but because alot of people are shy OR one of the dumbest reasons is because it's not Sailormoon, Inuyasha, Dragonball Z or Final Fantasy....or .Hack

    The cover came out great....I wish I could show everyone what I've got finished for this, but not just yet...I'm having a few issues with the DVD tests...and I've done like 15 of 'em....some reason it pixelates and then starts to fritz out and stop playing or doing lots of skipping....I think I got some bogus discs or something.
  11. Hikuro
    Just to let you know, that's my group, DH for Dark Heroes, and to let ya know, that was just a rough version, I just completed the scene it's a bit different, but much better. I got rid of Aries Puffs and fixed up Roy's stuff a bit. Arie's VA was also doing redoes for it and those were much better.Also changed some of the SFX's and the hollow echo is a bit more improved thanks to Aries' VA. I've nearly completed the entire Episode, I'm really surprised someone found it! Espically a MW member! My goal is to always try and do better then what professional groups could do and I try to get really picky on voices....I've actually gone thru 3 Roy Fokker voices to nail this guy who I think still does a phenomal job. He may not be the Robotech voice, but hell he's better then what ADV's got. I'm currently only waiting on my VA for Mao, and 2 male extras to finish off Yellow One, and Delta three. I also got the first scene up which is just a low quality and needs to be fixed up a bit, but it's still not bad.

    It'll be fine as long as your gentle with it....remember, these things are meant to be for collectors, not to actually be played with like normal toys....hence why they tend to be so expensive.
  13. Hikuro
    Well with that arm transformation by Yamato you should be fine now....just carefully look at the instructions and just be gentle.
  14. Hikuro
    It's not the bar itself that snaps, it's when it narrows down into a peg shape that sticks into a piece that connects to the shoulder/wheel. If you put jus the slightest amount of force to it it'll snap real easy. So I recommend to be very gentle with that area when transforming it espically into bike mode.
  15. Hikuro
    totally up to you, I think just for collectors it's a must have, but if your just in it for the "cool" factor, nah save it, cause I don't think it was honestly worth the 100 bucks....Yamato while brilliant in the design, really f'ed up the chance for this to be a rather sturdy model.
  16. Hikuro
    Okay I'm in theh club with you on this Alex. I was trying to transform it back into Bike mode and the peg that connects the joint to the swing bar snapped off like it was soft butter. I think a theory behind this is that if your using a Shogo figure to transform it, it wont fit too well into the cockpit....so it's probably best to NOT use the shogo figure at all....it's sort of a waste. But I'm gonna talk to tam to see if there's anything he can do since this is gonna be a MAJOR issue with collectors....but it sucks, 2 hours and it's already broken and I hardly even touched it.

    I just got mine in the mail today after I came home from having lunch with my old man and some pals. Yeah the thin arm bars do look fairly frail, but ya know you wont have a problem with it if you read the instructions. I've learned that long long ago when I thought I had broke my Optimus Prime 20th AV and looked seeing I was safe, but had to read the instructions to get him into truck mode. So yeah, I strongly recommend ppl that when you get yours to read the instructions, the arms going to slave mode can be a lil tricky at first glance. Overall I am a bit dissapointed in the lack of detail it has, not much for panel lines and it's like everyone though, shiny plastic. It does have rubber wheels but they're full of friction so they don't roll very well on the ground. Magnets don't seem to be a problem they are hella strong, but the Shogo figure is a bit of a pain to leave seated when your transforming into slave mode, he just can't stick still when your moving the upper body into locking position. If I had to give Yamato a score from 1-10, I'd say 6.5 to 7, it's smaller then I thought, and could of used more detail and maybe a better shogo figure, but the effort that they actually made one since Megazone 23 is becoming a fad again was nice.

    I met Shatner...........it was just after they finished filming Generations....it was like weird cause I was like one of five or something that actually met him. My star trek club (I was 10 dammit) got me in the room as part of the security so yeah haha ppl having to show their stamps and cards to a 10 year old kid and who ever didn't have one got kicked out or refused entery cause of the room capacity. So yeah I finally got to sit down and listen to him speak thinking "OMG! I met god!" cause back then Shatner was an idol of mine, sucked for me huh? So I raised my hand to ask him a question and he saw me and had me come up stage with him, only one upstage, aske dhim a retarded question which I will never say again and will never repeat even in my death bed. My "crew members" were so pissed off I was "selfish" and wouldn't let them come up with me. And I think about it now, "Dude, I was a child, a little kid, getting pissed off at some child cause he met your god is so stupid"

    I did my preorder when he first put it up on his site....so yeah if I remember right he said he was shipping by those who were first to order.

    Yep, even if VW's car would be used on the side of good, it'd still be used as a war machine, which is a big no no.....I'm sure somewhere out there, some freak is bad mouthing about this movie to the point it makes him feel so stupid. Then he'll go see the movie and go "OMFG! IT WAS THE SUXOR! Don't see this movie! It blew a huge amount of lung butter! Bumblee was haxd!" While another guy is going "WOW! THIS MOVIE WAS THE HOLY GRAIL! IT OWNZDSKI!" you know it WILL happen.
  21. Hikuro
    I got a notice saying mine shipped. Looks like I could have a very good tuesday.
  22. Hikuro
    He carried the look of bumblee bee but in the long run was still not bumblee bee. I for one am glad atleast that he's in the movie, it wouldn't be a G1 rendition without the character, even if he's not a bug, it's not a big deal. I think VW is just full of freaks anyways who just wanna promote a peace luvin way and dread even the slightest thought of their vehicles being used in a "War" like senerio....

    That would be interesting to see. We just started selling a few weeks ago an alternative guitar controler at FRY's, it looks sort of cheesey with the silver neck. But I like the game, everyday I see people playing it and we use to have it set up that you could see the people playing it on one fourth of the screen, the other fourth of the big screen would show the game, the other half was dedicated to DDR....but we took it away cause in the end it was really just goofy.

    In which case Fire Convoy and gang take a look at a location that 60 years ago was part of a sighting of UFO activaty and thought Gigatron might want what ever was in that area if anything still existed. There they meet up with the predacon's and discover a ship under the rubble which belongs to some Seibortronians that vanished 60 years ago. Gigatron steals their stasis pods and turns them into Destron's with military combat vehicle transformations. One of the human characters that appears alot steals one of the trucks that fuels a shuttle and Gigatron uses that truck as the final Destron. The truck suddenly tips over after hitting a crator and the truck itself is full of rocket fuel. Fire Convoy just in time grabs the truck before it falls sideways but Gigatron's Vehicle Scan covers both the truck and Convoy creating an evil looking Convoy henced Nicknamed Black Convoy aka Scourge in the US.

    Damn wish I had the series again, dunno WHY I got rid of it, that wasn't very nice of me considering they're expensive. But yeah it does sound like something that's already appeared......and not too mention there was an episode of RID where Black Convoy and his team were gonna blow up one of the dams..........meh.......it just sounded so.........decipticon like.
