    As I recall, the speeders were actually modified to make them work in the extreme cold of Hoth. The implication is that they were designed for a more temperate climate, so it seems a reasonable guess.

    It looked like it blew up one of the small guns on the side of the head. Which is, yes, problematic for the guy with the rocket launcher since the thing still has a working head and three more guns.

    That's hardly fair. They had SAMs, but they didn't function properly in the extreme cold of Hoth. Edit because I need to clarify because Star Wars: This is not canon to my knowledge, though climate-induced equipment failures were..

    Darth Vader turns into the Darksaber, obviously.

    And really, who doesn't want to?

    I now want a shot of the Executor doing a roll. Make it happen, Disney!

    I have to say... in all the years since Gundam Wing first aired, I have never spent even one second thinking about what Relena's bust looked like until now. You have made my life objectively worse with that statement. I hope you are happy.

    Pretty much. They weren't allowed to really pry open Paramount's purse. I mean, when they replaced the Defiant, the replacement got the registry number changed to match the original Defiant so they didn't need to order a new set of CG Defiant clips.

    Bumblebee is second in command... because everyone else died.

    It's space. There is no up or down, you can orient the Death Star however you please. And I'm pretty sure that was basically the point of the shot, as otherwise why shoot it "weird".

    I so wanna see that Super Defender in an anime.

    It seems to me like it should be economically feasible to build a destroid around an engine similar in spec to an older Valk engine. Build a destroid around a VF-11 engine and it'd be a monster in its field while still being far cheaper than a modern Valk. While the pun was not intended, that seems to be exactly what they did with the Konig Monster. Though the VF-11 was in regular service when the Konig was introduced, so it was not cheap. And the Konig in Frontier was apparently upgraded with VF-25-class energy armor, so it is STILL not cheap. The joys of filling a niche the VFs can't, your machine still gets catered to while all the other destroids are kicked into the gutter. But imagine, say, a Defender or Tomahawk getting the Konig treatment. Not "made into a variable vehicle", but "redesigned using modern technology". They'd be exceptional machines within their respective niches. (Even if one of those niches is "anti-aircraft turret") What they HAVE done is update the Cheyenne to use the same class of power plants as the original SDF Destroids, and then used it as a jack-of-all-trades ground device. It does most of the Tomahawk's job, a bit of the Defender's job, and has adorable little wheels for when you gotta go fast(a feature which would've been very useful on the Defender). ... And since the Cheyenne already HAS a CG model, they will update the Cheyenne again the next time they need a new destroid instead of making a new mech for a minor part. Destroid fans will suffer forever!

    True story: I tuned out as soon as the holodeck showed up. I didn't WATCH the finale.

    Good point. It is a dangerous time to test the hypothesis. But it does get kind of silly when close to half of the SOC lineup is Mazinger Z reissues and modifications.

    Hey, it's sold as a Honda in Japan. That is CLOSE ENOUGH.

    I was being sarcastic. And I don't see Drift as a luxury car. Whatever he is, it has "Type-R" at the end of the name.
  17. JB0
    So... is it written somewhere that if Bandai doesn't release a new Mazinger Z toy every year, the Earth will fall into the sun or something?

    Galvatron was the name the humans gave to their reverse-engineered combat drone based on Megatron. When Megatron's neural imprint took over, the drone became Megatron again. He was never going to accept a name given to him by weak fleshlings, and he has the might to enforce that opinion. Okay, so he could still get more japanese. Actually, that bugged me in the last movie too. I know japanese cars are few and far between, but surely they could've found at least one worth using.

    Enterprise was retconned into a holodeck simulation by the final episode. And that wasn't even the biggest problem with the episode.

    Man, did you see that black-helmeted guy in the end? I sure hope we see more of him, he looks awesome! Oh, and bring back Kyle Katarn.

    I didn't think it was possible for Drift to become MORE of a japanophile. But here we are.

    As little sense as it makes, I'm glad to see Barricade back. The evil cop car mode still makes me smile.
  23. JB0
    The fudge? The trailers are region-locked.
  24. JB0
    Whoa. Got some Toonami nostalgia goin' on here. The matching Heero sculpture is just kinda hilarious. But less so than if they'd actually put him IN the big fancy coat.

    Biology is disgusting. Super space biology is super-disgusting.
