    For a triple-changer, that's damned impressive. Off-hand, I don't see any evidence of jet on the car or Not-Ravage. And the pile of garbage under the plane is more forgivable in a three-mode toy(and frankly, more effort was expended on the jet's underside than most TWO-MODE jet-robos.)

    I just don't know which Macross has the Fiero music.

    Some people want a minty clean Pontiac Fiero, while acknowledging it is objectively a trash car. I don't know how that relates to the topic at hand, but now you know my "suddenly rich" plan.

    I, on the other hand, was the only kid I knew with any connection to Robotech. I knew a person or two with Jetfire, but they had it as a Transformer, not a Robotech proxy.

    This one's funny to me, because I was just talking with someone about that show. And the trademark collision with the show you MEANT, creatively titled "The Real Ghostbusters"... because Filmation beat the movie tie-in cartoon to the punch with an animated resurrection of a live-action TV show from the 70s titled simply Ghostbusters.

    So you're saying you DO know how to make them explode, thus proving my point!

    I mean, do you REALLY know how it works if you haven't made it explode?

    So you're saying the Federation is actually the Protoculture?

    The REALLY fun one was the USAF's OTHER Orion battlewagon. It DIDN'T have crew, or weapons. They just filled the entire craft with a SINGLE FUSION BOMB. Yield was estimated to be a hundred gigatons. No one's ENTIRELY sure what the effects of a blast that large would be, other than "very bad"

    Given modern handling of Megatron, a triple-changer makes sense. He's almost always a tank or a jet, why not both?

    So Macross gets a little hard sci-fi with a bomb-pumped X-ray laser? Awesome!

    ¿Por que no los dos?

    You make Robocop sound like the Terminator. He can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, and he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are in handcuffs.

    That's just what a protodeviln trying to avoid detetction on a message board would say!

    I'm guessing they win out over missiles because the lack of a rocket engine makes them harder to detect and counter while in-flight. Hence the continued service of the Metal Gear Monster.

    I readily admit I'll buy from the first company to make a Stampede Valk, regardless of who it is. It's stupid, but stupidly awesome.

    KITT seems the most obvious, as he's ALREADY a sentient robot car. I also wanna see 'em do Dukes of Hazard, but... yeah. Ain't no way that's happening.

    Which sounds AWESOME! You know what? That's fair. Haha! Well, I hope they live up to the accidental hype. I just think they're neat plastic robots, and if Transformers is going to be the entire plastic robot space then they can stretch their legs. I've been served enough red semis and yellow subcompacts/sports cars to last a lifetime, honestly. But I've never had an SUV made out of obsidian before! Also: Transformers x Knight Rider when, Hasbro?

    The neo-Rocklords(I guess they're called Infernac)... I'm kinda diggin' 'em. The vehicles have sort of a Flintstones vibe, and I'm here for it.

    I've said my piece before, but the reason everything looks off is that their 1J head is just fundamentally the wrong shape. It goes up from the visor and curves back, when it should have a flat slope going back from the visor instead.

    As someone whose only G1 combiner was Monstructor, he deserves to be six voyagers! Actually, I think all the combiners deserve this kind of lavish treatment. Shelf-dominators, sure but it gets them an oversized hulking presence that I feel fits them. Obvious problem*: I know the "Scramble City" designs need a larger torso-bot... bring back ultra? Or sell the combiners as a box set in commander or titan, so compromises can be distributed where they most make sense instead of each bot being held to a strict parts & paints budget? I think this is a genuinely good idea. I know they did this with Devastator and people were unhappy with the individual bots, but frankly anything vaguely modern is a huge improvement over G1 Monstructor, no matter how badly done. And since there aren't any interim versions to point at and say "Siege of Generations: Primus Rising had a better Bristleback than this forty-seven years ago", it'll just be "the best Pretender Monsters ever released" *aside from basically dedicating an entire line's Voyager assortment to a single team, but that's basically trivial!

    And while destructive interference applies to infrared as well as any other wavelength, it is usually emitted by the plane, which makes it harder to detect, analyze, and counteract. Also, the location of the sensor is unknown, so it can't be targetted.
  23. JB0
    That's fair. ... But at least they didn't level the city with their shields in the process?

    If I remember the old novels correctly, that was because they were cannibalizing key systems off the SDF-1 to build the SDF-2.

    As I understand things, they've wanted to bring Sisko back, but Avery Brooks doesn't actually want to come back.
