The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
JB0 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's definitely original toy-accurate! But I think general consensus is that the original Devastator is the worst of the combiners and kind of a mess, especially from the back. Whether toy supremacists or toon supremacists, people seem to want a cleaned-up and idealized Devastator.- 9508 replies

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
JB0 replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
They don't know, because the sales records were destroyed in the bombardment. Edit:: And I've nerd-sniped myself. I've spent the last couple hours imagining the Stealth-class frigates being named after pre-war movies, and which movies would be great or terrible. Like, who wouldn't want to be on the NUNS Kickboxer? That's just an awesome name. Or the NUNS Phantom Menace. But NUNS Broken Arrow? Heck naw, you'll never hear the end of the unsecured weapons jokes. The NUNS Die Harder? What does that even mean?! Maybe NUNS Independence Day, but I want the the ID4 to be a New Macross-class. We need this name attached to something with a really big gun. Also, Independence Day isn't nearly as cool after the aliens have ACTUALLY laid waste to your homeworld. And then I realized the timeline allows for an NUNS Goldmember, and I wept at the wound I have inflicted upon myself. . -
Seems like that is a good way to accelerate research into long-range transporters, artificial wormholes, and transwarp conduits. People adapt and overcome. They may bend but they don't break. I mean, provided you want to write a hopeful and positive story that actually feels like Star Trek instead of just destroying everything to make some kind of point about the futility of optimism.

Maybe it's actually the Stealth-class cruiser, named in honor of a popular aviation film from before the end of Space War 1. -
The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
JB0 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm incredibly disappointed they didn't do anything to fill the gap in the moon buggy roof. Since you aren't gonna be storing the sword blade there with the upgrade kit, there's no purpose to it and the gap is just unsightly.- 9508 replies

Obviously the base is flying behind him just offscreen, like Optimus Prime's trailer.- 18238 replies

This Genesis... it isn't the same Genesis as in Wrath of Khan, right? We don't have someone completely losing it while wielding a bomb that can unmake and remake a planet, possibly an entire star system? Because that would be bad.

I'm still hoping they sell off Warner's video game division to help put some black ink on the balance sheet.

The computer and electronics super geek thread

Also, the chinese companies are unlikely to join the collusion that the current memory cartel gets up to. They're playing a different game. -
In fairness, as often as holodecks malfunction with catastrophic results, WOULD it be safer than actual space pirates? Or would they be trapped in a death game while people struggled to bring the rest of the academy back online and reset the holodeck safeties?

It's still graphics cards, we just got used to paying scalper prices so they seem reasonable now. I'm hoping when the AI bubble pops, all the graphics cards and RAM they're hoarding dumps onto the market all at once and prices for those items just craters.
