    Is there a reason UT used World of Warcraft names for everyone? Also, I gotta say I like not-Blastoff's shuttle mode.

    I was partially joking, but I've always preferred the general toy aesthetic over the cartoon's flat, simplistic look. Certainly, the toys were all over the map in terms of proportions and articulation, but I always liked that they actually looked like they could turn into a thing(for the obvious reason of "because they could"), and that they tended to have a bunch of superfluous mechanical detailing. The cartoon often shucked both points for the sake of animation simplicity(or, perhaps, it depicts an alternate universe where ALL the Transformers were minicars).

    Don't you have that backwards?

    That is very appropriate for Grendizer.

    In fairness to Burton, he was brought in fairly late on Planet of the Apes. To my understanding he wasn't happy with it either.

    Honestly, I'm pretty down on Disney's re-animations* as a general rule. I view them as a waste of time, that can only tarnish the reputation of the originals. But I'm making an exception here. Dumbo wasn't a work of passion honed to perfection. It was designed from the start to be cheap to produce and commercially attractive, thereby maximizing profitability at a time when the company was in bad shape financially. In short, Dumbo was a cynical cash grab. So it is hard to be mad that, most of a century later, another cynical cash grab is being made. I'll be sad to see the crows go, though I'm pretty sure they won't fly in the current era(no pun intended). They were the best part of the movie. *Let's be honest here, they aren't live-action movies. When your animated effects cover more of the screen for more of the runtime than your live-action footage, it ceases to be a live-action movie with animated effects and becomes an animated movie with live-action effects.

    DE KULCHA!! I love how overbuilt the MC class is. Though ... how big is the crew on one of those behemoths?

    GO COMCAST, GO!

    Man, I hope in another three months Fox just pipes up and goes "just kidding, we were curious how much of a circus the offer would make."
  11. JB0
    That is just how bad "Disney buys Fox" is for us. Comcast is the LESSER evil.

    Man, RE never had tank controls to start with. Tank controls is Battlezone/Vindicators/T-Mek twin-stick. Push up on both sticks to go forward, up on one and down on the other to turn. I AM A CROTCHETY OLD FART, GET OFF MY LAWN!

    The website mechamericagreatagain.com definitely shows a Steam release. Well, actually it says "PC", but clicking that takes you to Steam, so...

    No weirder than the rest of the cartoon was, anyways.

    I was about to type that! Sniped!

    I hate fake parts, and consider it cheating at best. May as well just go with part-swapping, it is exactly as honest and at least the transformation will be simpler.

    Happy negative fifth birthday!

    I'm the other way. Railgun is fun as heck, Index... isn't. Agreed on the Accelerator spinoff, though.

    Fair enough. I actually laughed at that. Mostly because of how fast he ejected that tape. Weaponized music. And the Bay films were big on toilet humor. As long as Bumblebee doesn't pee on anyone, and no one's parents make comments about their self-stimulation, I think I'll be okay with whatever sense of humor they settle on.
  20. JB0
    Bumblebee as a yellow Bug? What madness is this?!
  21. JB0
    That is most definitely NOT a recommended diet plan.

    One of the few good things about Twitter is watching the different branches of the armed forces make fun of each other officially. I believe the kids say "quoted for truth". But don't forget Leader-1!

    But imagine an SoC Dancouga you could LIVE IN! ... Actually, now that I think of it, why wasn't the 1:1 Gundam branded as a Soul of Chogokin?
  24. JB0
    Yes. Practicality is for chumps.
  25. JB0
    Ah, Gold Lightan. More of the SOC toys should be released in 1:1 scale.
