    Already an improvement.

    Is He-Man still dead?

    I don't have a Xitter account to vote with, but definitely Alus Edition.

    In fairness, the VF-1's arms could be purged(I think?) without hindering the ability to go back to fighter mode. Didn't Hikaru eject the damaged arms in the big final battle... and then go through re-entry while missing half his plane's underside? That's actually kinda nuts, now that I think about it. ALSO in fairness, the VF-1 doesn't really need to swap arms to swap specialized equipment. The FAST pack arm launchers demonstrate that well, as does the VE-1's arm packs in DYRL. Just hang crap under the plane, and hope you don't need to use your landing gear any time soon(that's why we have gerwalk, I guess).

    The promise of the F-35: One plane for every service! The reality of the F-35: Three planes sharing one name and confusing everyone! Jetpack is what I'd do too. Especially since I'd like to see the VTOL capability echoed in the robot.

    So what I'm hearing about this game is "I'd buy that for a dollar"?

    Marines, F-35B. The Navy's F-35C has wider wings(that fold up), and sturdier landing gear for handling catapult launches and arresting wire landings, but no VTOL capability.

    That's quite fair. It wasn't exactly lighting the schoolyard on fire wedged between Go-Bots, Transformers, and Voltron.

    They WERE acceptable. Their target market very much was not "adult collectibles" and "toon-accurate detailing". It was single-digit boys, and those figures were awesome. You could TAKE RICK HUNTER'S HELMET OFF(and wear away the paint).

    Nebulas aren't actually very dense. It'd be like driving through a fog and then leaning out the window to get a drink of water. Only worse, because it's less dense and also sootier.
  12. JB0
    That IS the ultimate Voltron. Hard to make something better than that.

    I guess it's time to cook some popcorn again.

    The book was called Darksaber, and Wookiepedia says I misremember how badly it malfunctioned(though the end result was the same)
  15. JB0
    Confusingly, there WAS a Darksaber in ao expanded universe novel from the 90s, but it was completely unrelated(and also a bit of a joke, as it was a bootleg Death Star that self-exploded due to shoddy craftsmanship)

    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.
  18. JB0
    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.
  21. JB0
    So you're saying you DO know how to make them explode, thus proving my point!
  22. JB0
    I mean, do you REALLY know how it works if you haven't made it explode?
  23. JB0
    So you're saying the Federation is actually the Protoculture?
  24. JB0
    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"
  25. JB0
    Given modern handling of Megatron, a triple-changer makes sense. He's almost always a tank or a jet, why not both?
