  1. Honestly, it's amazing Mylene DOESN'T get violent with Basara.
  2. I've wondered about that before too. The general presentation seems like they're disposable "parts", and extensive medical treatment is worse than popping a new clone out of the tubes. But Britai's cybernetic eye seems to contradict that. My best guess is that the rank&file are disposable, but the accumulated experience of the leaders makes them is considered important enough for serious medical treatment to keep them going.
  3. Oh yeah, that was really cool. Even if I have thematic gripes. I've said before I don't see Megatron as a STEALTH bomber. He wants you to know he's coming, and know there's not a dang thing you can do to stop him. Less B-2, more B-1. ... I'd make him an XB-70, but that's reserved because I still want the Valkyrie to be Silverbolt some day.
  4. I feel a lot the same. My preferences don't necessarily call for realistic alt modes, so much as realistic transformations. I dislike some of the parts-origami that exists in modern Transformers where they try to make the robot not look like the car, I want robots where the chest is made of car roof and the feet are obviously the trunk.
  5. Actually, having looked at some photos of the Valve Steam Frame, I have tracking concerns. The camera locations suggest rather poor downward visibility, so hands held near to the body will get lost. I've had this problem with my Quest 3, and it is frustrating since I DIDN'T have it with my Rift(obviously) or Quest 1(which had a rather good controller-tracking volume). I am an adult, I have a strong concept of object permanency, and I don't like the idea that my hands stop existing if I'm not looking at them. That said, Valve's camera distribution does look to offer a better field of coverage than the Quest 3's. But I'd prefer prefer downward coverage instead of upward coverage. Or, you know, MORE CAMERAS.
  6. I mean, she's nothing right now, so all the Insecticons remain Decepticons. She was never made into a toy for Beetras, much less adapted into Transformers, and Hasbro as of yet hasn't seen the need to make an homage to an obscure never-was toy. Just a neat piece of non-Transformer robot art. ... But yeah, she'd probably be an Autobot if she did finally escape her decades-long purgatory.
  7. I am more interested in the Steam Frame than I expected, dumb name aside. Kinda sad they've given up on the upmarket premium configuration, even optionally. The Knuckles controllers were rad, and having a fully-tracked play area is a major benefit. But they have the sales numbers, they clearly know Index hasn't sold well enough to justify an Index 2.
  8. Discord hasn't really been devastating to actual forums to me, that damage was done with social media and Reddit(which is just the last and most successful "mega-forum", and I've always hated mega-forums). What Discord HAS done is completely eviscerate IRC. Also made a lot of stuff far less accessible as people started using it as free file-hosting instead of setting up an actual website for their projects. But it has been a gradual grind, as communities fell to mega-forums that covered a lot of topics and were too big to have actual communities, then facespace and xitter came along and made the mega-forums look focused and cozy. I do miss the old days, with actual communities that were accessible and discoverable. ... Also, BRING BACK WEBRINGS.
  9. More like Dead Optimus, Devastation Optimus, and Unpainted Unstickered Bootleg Optimus.
  10. Having read a whole bunch of the manga... that's how I hope it ends too.
  11. Shocked to see he died of illness. His image was such I just assumed it was a motorcycle accident or something. I need to fire the old XBox up and throw Ninja Gaiden Black in to honor him. Tekken's Harada posted some words about his friend/senpai(?)/rival. And linked back to an older post about his relationship with Itagaki, which is a good read. I wish I wasn't seeing it because it became a eulogy.
  12. My mind went the opposite direction: animated dazzle camouflage.
  13. Hopefully, I'm in one of those places no one ever talks about because the colony mission was quiet and uneventful, and found a peaceful planet far from any bullcrap.
