    Great news for those who missed out on Fansproject's Function X figures! Function X-1 is back up for February release, and Preorders for X-2 and X-3 Weirdwolf and Brainstorm for April and May. WOOHOO!

    So who's exactly to say the series is actually canceled? Of course having the time slot changed to mondays in the middle of the night when ppl go to sleep doesn't help one bit either! I mean who's really going to be up at 11PM to watch this series if it needs viewers? Just when this series really got good.

    Hmmm, individually I really like so far where the not stunticons are going. What gripes me is that there's no image yet for Motormaster who will be the obvious selling point for many who are still on the fence. Personally, I'd like to see these done in two packs, one leg, one arm and of course Motor master being last. He better be a pretty good size, at least Optimus Voyager class level. Oh holy crap! I just saw the price for Planet X Genesis he's a big pass! 350 bucks no way no how.

    yeaaaaah, so that would put Sara as an aunt, I mean what would you call that a Grand Aunt or a Great aunt? I don't got much in terms of living elderly relatives other than a grandmother, my last grandfather just passed away couple weeks ago.

    Yeah I hadn't seen him in very many of the usual channels as well. I had to get him off ebay, I think with shipping I spent $112. Not a bad deal but I have noticed several other owners having a silver hegemon where as mine is a dark gray. I don't know if they customized theirs or not.

    Yeah I have no interest in Not Omega. He's just far to chunky for my taste and doesn't fit what I remember of Omega Supreme which is why I didn't like him in War for Cybertron.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu6LPJm0p7o&list=UUvYdjXAF9BCF6Z1kSGmFCOA&index=14 I got a review of him here if it helps. I like the figure in terms of a classics figure. He's a bit tall though compared to the dlx figures and of course optimus. Mine has a loose fusion cannon and I believe a shoulder piece has popped out several times. You'll need to be careful of his chest area near his head, it just sits in place it doesn't snap or stick together which is why there's scotch tape on it when you get it out of the box.

    They could not be kept, the appropriate SFX's were abruptly cut in the tracks I had acquired and would not of worked. But thanks for joining MW.

    hm I think I'm gonna end up buying this afterall, as long as it's more entertaining and done with some originality to it I think I'll have a good time with the game. But if it's like all it's predecessors like the Trials and PSP games, it's gonna grow old so far fast.

    curious as well, is it a popcorn flick or is it just as bad as some of his last movies?

    ok, depending on the price listed, I may have to get a minmay or two for me and the girlfriend.

    I peaked outta curiosity, and I quickly lost interest and will wait till it's out on DVD state side. I already got 2 movies, why the hell would I not wanna get the 3rd despite the bitching of the anime fanboys? when has that EVER mattered to studios what we think?
  14. Hikuro
    well, I can't order anything until I move into my new apartment........what crap.
  15. Hikuro
    They didn't do squat for toys, and I never saw much of squat on tv for advertising. So far as I'm concerned, do a TV special movie, hour, hour and a half long, kill everyone off and let's move onto to the next tron film.

    Here's my contribution to those who can't scan their sheets. This should be really high quality and will be what I'm using to make my decals out of.

    Very nice Cheng! I hope you get it all fixed up man, that's just a bummer. I've only had my VF-4 a week i think and now I have to box her up along with the rest of my stuff until feb. I'm moving into a new apartment so that's putting my decal project on hold.
  18. Hikuro
    I'm pissed I missed out on CODE I really wanted him. Only place I can find him at is ebay for double the value which for a deluxe scale is not worth the price.
  19. Hikuro
    Sometimes it's not reall all about profits, be licensing rights. It just reeks of BS to me, I mean I get the reason, but it's a lazy reason. We know, they know, big west knows it could transform. I'd say the rights to that version was just to damn expensive. Can't transform my ass, there's nothing different about the Flashback 2012 version from the VFX version.

    tested my own decals tonight. They have a form of craking like dry desert or dry skin. Not sure if that's an ink issue or image quality from the JPEG I had. I'll have to investigate further.

    Had a discussion about this at work today since things like this are apart of my job. We have a 15,000 dollar printer which can print white color but there's a big problem with that. White ink mixes with other colors and causes serious saturation and color errors that'd damage a printer that uses an RGB or CMYK cartridges. If that happened wed have to replace the ink lines and header which would cost 3K to fix and would still have to flush. I bought some decal paper tonight so I'll be sitting down designing some stuff for my VF-4. When I get a new scanner ill be hard core on new color schemes this spring.

    Seeing how they'll never be in the US for being originally a web exclusive you're screwed. Next option is paying a high price on eBay or whatever overseas website will have available.
  23. Hikuro
    Ya gotta agree with everyone on my assessment. Next best option is to have a thin background to size of the canopy frame with whitish gray lettering. That's what I would do.
  24. Hikuro
    I just used tamiya paint thiner and a q tip on TF figures I wanted to customize and get rid of the tampo. Hard work but it did what it needed to do.

    From what I've been reading, making your own stickers/decals is fairly easy. All you need is decal paper and either a inkjet or laser printer, inkjet being the more common. If all you're doing are things like pilot names such as your own name or a fanfiction character the simplest course of action is to go onto WORD or whatever Mac users got, type in the name and print out starting from your default size font and then a few other variants in a smaller font, probably no more than a 5. Print out the sheet and if you want to go the extra mile, cut out the different sizes and compare them to the area you want to place the name too on the canopy edge or side of the fuselage. Once you've chosen the size font you want place your decal sheet like you would a normal sheet of paper and print what you need. After it's printed and dried take a can of clear gloss and spray a VERY thin layer over the printed material and let it set in room temp for 24 hours. Cut, soak for 12 seconds in luke warm water, set on a piece of paper and let it absorb for 35 seconds then slide it where you need it to go and enjoy. Now if you want to do things more tricky like customizing an entire decal sheet that you get from Yamato, you'll need to have a good quality scanner, photoshop and probably illustrator and make the corrections you need then take the time to scale the decals correctly as I don't think they'll print exactly as you scan in some cases. Then just follow the last few steps and you're done. I'd be printing out my own decals if I had a scanner, but there's not a lot I want to change or anything other than squadron symbol and a name. Oh and this just came to mind, if you need the font to be in white you could be in for some trouble. 99% of all commerical printers don't print in white. From what I understood, there are printers that can but they are very expensive or hard to find.
