    Heck yeah, Blaster Master!

    Tiny Rex is objectively superior to all other offerings.

    To be fair, asking MacrossWorld if they can ID some mechs is a bit like asking a cat if it might know what to do with a mouse. It's going to be rapidly followed by a flurry of extremely decisive activity.

    That DOES look nicer. Waitin' to hear from people on what's true to life.

    One of them. They also had the non-transformable put-a-figure-in-the-cockpit one. I owned a SD Max 1J. It was the best thing, until the swingbars in the fuselage/chest broke, were glued together, and broke again. They WANTED the 1/55, I'm sure, but... Hasbro sniped that license.

    Very nice. Next step: signing a distribution deal with Lego, right?

    And Nintendo says the Wii U isn't dead and has at least another year in it.

    I don't think she's familiar with the concept of harem anime.

    Fair enough.

    OH GOD! THE DRAMA! WE GOT A VAR SYNDROME OUTBREAK HERE! SAVE US, WALKURE!

    Sometimes that's all it has to do, though. I mean, the wheels gotta wind up SOMEWHERE, and they're pretty much guaranteed to just hang there and do nothing no matter where they are. Sure, you can do some creative engineering to make them wind up inside the robot... but it stops looking like a robot that transforms, and starts just looking like a robot.

    Apparently the AAs are so muzzle flash in gun mode can be brighter than the robot mode lazer hand. Which, while laudable, is still silent. (And leaves me trying to figure out where the muzzle flash bulb is mounted.) Now, then... DAMMIT TAKARA! ANNOUNCE A TOY COLOR VERSION.

    Neither, as the comics don't show the team being assembled. There's a prologue with The Major working solo, and then chapter 1 the gang's all here. I've never actually gotten around to watching SAC or Arise, so I can't actually say which series is closer to the original characterizations.

    I am also asking this.

    Oh, I took the brute-force atomic-fire scorched-earth approach. Changed ownership of a few system directories from trustedinstaller to me(it's my goddamn computer, Windows, don't be tellin' me I don't have rights to tamper with it!), and deleted gwx.exe and gwx*.exe from a dozen different locations. It worked.

    Having had the pleasure of playing Galaxy Force II in the ultra-deluxe arcade unit, I must say that it loses a bit by not being mounted in a 3-axis hydraulic cockpit that spins and tilts with the action. That said, the 3DS port benefits a LOT from the added visual axis. Those Sega sprite scalers lend themselves very well to the addition of depth perception.

    Gaogaigar is awesome. He starts as a robot lion,Galeon. That combines with the cyborg pilot, Gai, to become GaiGar. And that then combines with a stealth bomber, a bullet train, an a drill-tank-thing to become GaoGaiGar. Who later gets a transforming tank-robot that transforms into a giant fist and doomsday weapon/squeaky hammer that he ADDITIONALLY combines with. It is a show that revels in being over-the-top. Also, there is a police-car ninja-robot named Volfogg. That happily gives scale the finger as it combines with a helicopter and a motorcycle to make Big Volfogg, the most creatively named combiner ever. And these robots are all literally powered by courage(the G-Stone at their heart is some sort of emotional catalyst thing), so it makes logical setting sense for them to get more powerful when our heroes get worked up. It's really hard to overstate how much I adore this show in all it's earnest silliness. Aquarion is also awesome, despite the combinations(which are taking a pun too far.). I have no gushing over-the-top things to say about it, but it's pretty cool.

    My homebuilt Win7 OEM systems had to be beaten to make them STOP nagging me.

    He stole that plan from Transformers!11

    Honestly? I hit preview post before I did that. The "botched" tag was artistic intent... for certain very shallow definitions of artistic.

    [spoilers] There is pop music and a love triangle. Also giant robot jets. [/spoilers]

    CHOO CHOO!

    In fairness, Stalin's commies were a perfectly viable enemy, they were let down by the script.

    Hooray for the march of science! That'd be my excuse, that it used to be true but medical advances made it possible.
