Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
That sounds amazing! I just meant that only being available if you don't transform doesn't really negate it being equippable. I readily admit that dual gunpod was not an official equipment package for the VF-25. -
Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Kinda like a VF-1 being equipped with the GBP as long as it stays in battroid? -
Well... funny thing about the sun's radiation... we get LESS of it on Earth than we would in stellar space. The Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere do a really good job of sending most of that radiation somewhere other than our faces. And it turns out radiation shielding is hard, and most of the things that do a good job(like lead and water) are also really heavy, which is why only a small part of the ISS has enough radiation shielding to safely ride out a solar flare inside it. That said... overtechnology seems to have provided humanity with lightweight and durable radiation-opaque materials. At least, one would hope so, given the big honkin' glass domes they put on their colony ships. If those aren't unusually good radiation blockers for visually-transparent materials, colony life is not very healthy.

Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
But after he picked it up, he WAS equipped with it! -
If I 'm not mistaken... it's a little of column A, little of column B. For the most part, their hardware isn't exactly the most survivable of designs, so it is easy to die if you are one of the grunts on the front lines. Even an ace like Milia lived one piece of shrapnel away from death. And there's very little data on long-term miclonizing, because why would anyone do that?

The computer and electronics super geek thread
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
And why not? It is the last good version of Windows! True story: I'd be running 2K on something or other right now if I had a dang clue what we did with the CD and license key. -

Spoilers: You don't have to stop using an OS because the manufacturer says it is dead. -
I have found that of no concern whatsoever. Why would overtechnology not have any effect on medical care or cosmetics?

Saban's Power Rangers, in theaters March 24,2017
JB0 replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Okay, I can honestly say something nice about this thing now. That last set of posters is awesome, I love that they are taking the opportunity to do some scale-establishing shots. It is hard to really get people in the "giant robot is huge" mindset, and I think showing the people standing on their robots is a good way of doing it. Especially the way the robot juts into the poster, with most of it too big to fit in the frame.- 128 replies

To save everyone the clicking, that studio is Technosoft, best known as the developer of the Thunder Force series.

Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Maybe the Cat's Eye is an early design, and the nuclear engines of the period needed some sort of augmentation for atmospheric propulsion? Or there may have been undesirable EM interference between the era's high-performance reactors and the Cat's Eye's sensor suite? I dunno, I'm just throwin' ideas out. -

I think we're all still speculating on if the father is THAT Focker or not. That said, if the father is Roy, and the mother is not Claudia, it doesn't matter who his mom is because we never met the girl.

SENTAI FILMWORKS HAS LICENSED LEGEND OF GALACTIC HEROES!!!
JB0 replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This IS the (legally-distinct descendant of a) company that was known for licensing shows they had no intention of releasing, just to keep other companies from getting them. Sad to see the tradition survives. Like I said: You guys deserve better than this. -
Terminator 5/Terminator: Genisys, opening July 1, 2015
JB0 replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
As I like to say... Terminator 2 has plot holes big enough to drive a truck through, but no one cares because they DO drive that truck through. And then the truck blows up. And then they do it again a half-hour later.- 508 replies

I still love how the Walkure Romanze stuff looks. Given funds and space, I would probably buy everything.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 23 - READ 1st POST
JB0 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Likely more about "old curmudgeons" versus "kids these days". Most of us are a decade or two older than the typical target audience for entertainment productions on either side of the ocean. Compounding the problem, I believe most of us are here because we liked the original Macross, which was an unusual production even for the era. -
