    Oh, definitely. Especially once wars start breaking out and there's significant pressure to have the latest and greatest fighter again. But if there's no cost disparity... why settle for already-obsolete garbage when you can have giant robots? If there IS a major cost disparity, it can be tempting to settle for second place(though Raptor vs Valkyrie would inevitably be "second place is the first loser").

    I was just poking a bit of fun at that misalignment between the fiction and reality for a time period that's supposed to closely match the real world. But you have to admit, it DOES make the "abandon the Raptor in favor of Valkyries" decision easier if the real-world fighter costs showed up in the Macrossverse.

    Understandable, given the VF-1 turned out cheaper than the F-22 as well as far superior.

    Oh ye of little faith.

    Lemme look that up real quick... Oh man, that is gorgeous. This is the first time I've wished Enterprise had gotten another season.

    Well-played.

    They should combine the two. Japan needs a Statue of Liberty Cannon.

    I don't actually know how long that commercial was aired for. I assumed it was pulled relatively swiftly.

    They forgot to tell the ad team. Jetfire was animated toy-accurately for his TV commercial.

    Hard to believe Squeenix actually wants to do something with Xenogears. I'm pleasantly surprised. The fans are winning!

    As I understand things, Bandai is much more aggressive about policing the knookoffs, making it an uncomfortable market to enter. On the other hand, the Not-Gundam manufacturers spend very little effort making their offerings legally-distinct, which might be part of their problem.

    Yes.

    A list of nuclear tests would also be a good inspiration. Travis Beacham cited tests like Castle Bravo and Starfish Prime as his main naming inspiration. Also, you can try shuffling this up. Alchemic Genesis, Excel Drive, and even Neon Saga aren't terrible jaegar names. Trufax: Paladin Zeta took half its name from a much older machine. If you shuffle the anime right, no one notices.

    Stardust Vagabond sounds like a Jojo stand.

    'S all about finding the right words. Spend a few minutes asking a search engine for random words, stick the coolest ones next to each other. If in doubt, add a greek letter or military alphabet word to the end.

    Crunchyroll? With their "never subtitle a song ever" rule? I sure hope they aren't interested in Macross.

    "When ordered directly from the D4toys store, Tarn comes with an additional faceplate (that's clean with no battle scars), and a pair of sound boosters." BOMBAAAA!

    It is so good they made an entire game out of it.

    Yeah, but Apple is less dickish than HG and Samsung has more anti-trust concerns if they just refuse to do business with someone.

    "Marvel's Spider-Man": Just in case you were confused and thought this might be some other Spider-Man.

    Wasn't Boaty McBoatface destroyed during the double event in Hong Kong?

    Paladin Zeta.

    Years ago.

    They ended the oldschool take-no-prisoners-personal-insults ones, at least. People can have opinions without forming lynch mobs these days.

    In fairness, as I recall things Robotech was starting to slip into obscurity back when Mac+ was considered must-see japanimation. Harmony Gold has been bad at selling this for a very long time.
