  1. Man, that would be amazing, though. Especially if we take it literally. They sue over that one Mickey Mouse toy that turns into Optimus Prime. Claim it is a ripoff of their patented veritechnology or some crap. And then DARKNESS FALLS UPON THEIR REALM.
  2. Opted to ignore the issue of facehugger gender entirely, actually. Xenomorph gender is pretty hard to nail down in human terms, across the entire species. They seem largely asexual. My logic is that the facehuggers are the only ones born from a queen, which is the standard way to become a princess, and I don't think princes are exactly lining up to marry xenomorphs. All the rest are born from the plebes (or genetics labs, in that one movie).
  3. Other way around. Robotech novelization predates Phantom Menace. OMG STAR WARS RIPPED OFF ROBOTECH!!!111111
  4. Don't be silly. Only the facehuggers are princesses.
  5. Protoculture Ghost. Legally distinct.
  6. I remember that game. I also remember the truck it wvs based on. And the Power Wheels version of that truck. I was sad when I found out there's still a Bigfoot, but it ain't blue anymore.
  7. I believe the moving picture roster is simply too long to itemize.
  8. Yeah, I don't care for shell-forming much. Car parts should be PART of the robot, not worn over it like Solid Snake wears a cardboard box. Exceptions if there's a really good concept on display other than "wearing the car like a turtle shell" or "hang-gliding from the bottom of a jet".
  9. I'm sort of in a happy middle ground. G1, Cybertron, whatever. As long as it is a cool robot, I'm in. But if it turns into something else, I want it to LOOK like it does. If there's clever engineering to make sure all the car/jet/cassette player parts disappear in robot mode, that is a negative to me, as I consider the alt-mode kibble an essential part of a transforming robot. This DOES mean I tend to look down on the "fake radiator" that a lot of Optimus toys use for the robot abs. I want the truck radiator to be the ab radiator. I tend to turn a blind eye towards it on Powermaster Prime, though it did bug the heck out of me when PM Prime was new and became my first Optimus, and he had an entire second truck front for his small robot mode.
  10. I'm glad it is the Gundam and not an Adjective Gundam. Period-appropriateness, mainly. Obviously, there's no chance in hell of WB sorting out the mess needed to get a VF-1. They probably don't even want to touch that mess.
  11. Spiderhomies.
  12. Book was fantastic, and the author is apparently in charge of the movie script. I have high hopes.
  13. Didn't watch it, but that is the general rule for trailers. All the best scenes and twists are in the trailer.
  14. Which kinda gets to the heart of the "FAST packs in atmosphere" problem, doesn't it? When you have enough thrust, anything can fly. And with enough maneuvering thrusters, anything can steer(wings are for chumps). It just... might not be the smoothest ride ever.
  15. I often forget YouTube has ads. I forget a lot of things have ads. Hooray for adblockers!
  16. Yeah, that's my take on Barricade as well. I tend not to consider the "not in film" toys as bayformers. They often didn't align with the movie's aesthetic, in a good way.
  17. Honestly, the only Bayformer that really engaged me was Barricade, and that was more for amusement at some of his police car detailing than anything else.
  18. Ah, until next year when we get trailers for the teaser trailers. Commercials for commercials for commercials!
  19. It's a GoBot! As someone with a lot of fond memories of Bug Bite and ... Baron Von Joy, I think it was? ... I mean this in the nicest possible way. I just wish the entire windshield unit could come up, that would REALLY make me smile.. "The ranger isn't going to like this, Chromedome." Sorry, I read that and can't stop imagining Hardhead as Booboo now.
