    But I want Shockwave purple, not Astro Magnum gray. Wait, does this mean TakaraTomy has a way to milk three distinctly different releases out of a one-character mold?

    You know, I'mma actually gripe about Shockwave briefly. I REALLY wish he was the darker purple of the toy instead of the more toon-accurate shade they're using. On the other hand, it's a testament to how GOOD that original toy was that they're using almost-identical arms and shoulders thirty years later(I see one added hinge, making the shoulder two-axis instead of one-axis). The legs, by contrast, are COMPLETELY different, but they were always the original robot's weak link.

    Just call it all "print" and you can never be wrong. Well, maybe visual novels, but it's debatably a proper term.

    I saw it in theaters too! ... When they did the 25th anniversary screening.

    I question this. You shouldn't actually cool off THAT fast in space. It's not like jumping in a pool full of ice water, because there's no matter there to conduct heat away. You only cool down radiatively. Certainly, you WILL get damn cold, but in the near-perfect vacuum of space doing so FAST isn't an option. I have more issue with the idea he could make his flight suit close enough to airtight with just a thickly wrapped scarf around the neck. I'mma just pretend the scarf was actually duck tape. ape. It was still a terrible idea, though I grant it would seem less of one to a teenage boy trying to impress a cute girl.

    I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head. Instead of a Fighter, it's a Variable Fighter, so VF instead of F. It slightly bugs me that YF in Macross is not YVF. But I'm sure I am overthinking this.

    That's the worst Prime mold.

    Ah, so THAT'S what SkunkWorks has been up to!

    I had to check and see if DuelGundam had come back to us. And dang all these YouTube embeds are killing my browser. Don't suppose I could convince you guys to just put a link instead?

    Also, quoting pics makes the page take longer to load. Think of the dialup users!

    Also, they had to follow on from the first movie's ending. They readily admit they didn't WANT to do a future story with Marty's kid, but they HAD to because the first movie promised it.

    Something strange has happened, indeed.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, the idea that they actually ship Transformers to stores. You're a funny guy.

    I still can't be bothered to worry about canonicity. Maybe it's my Star Trek background, but I only care if iy's a good story, which canon has nothing to do with.

    Pretty much all I remember of it is the giant spaceship that had the Voyager probe in it.

    The shoulder pipe snakes? I have no idea, honestly.

    And without the X-Wing books, we'd still call every droid by serial number. Seriously, it's rather shocking how fast writers started giving droids nicknames after Star Wars: X-Wing: Rogue Squadron came out. Overnight EVERY droid got a name.

    COWABUNGA!

    Probably turn him into a gun and point him at the dog while making laser noises with my mouth.

    You should really be sad. There's some great stories in there, and I think they're almost all out of print now. Instead of things like X-Wing: Wraith Squadron, you got... The Phantom Menace.

    For Link to the Past Link... his eyes are too big and the Master Sword is way off-model. His shield is not so much off-model as it is a completely different thing. Dug the Super Nintendo manual out to prove to myself I wasn't crazy. Then hunted up some scans of the japanese manual to check if this is just an east-side/west-side thing. They use the same art, so... I'm not saying it's a bad figure. I quite like it. I'm just saying that it's not Zelda 3's Link.

    In fairness, what's he gonna do as a gun? The cartoon went to great lengths to find a reason for someone else to fire him pretty often. That's hard to do in a video game, really.

    I'm toy-biased, so to me he ALWAYS had little feet.

    I thought perfect transformation was, by definition, screen-accurate transformation. Which is not to say that I don't like the idea of reworking him so everything is PART of him. Loose parts are lost parts! I'm just not sure how you define "perfect" in this case.

    This is what they call "damning with faint praise."And worst or not, it's definitely the most tortured production. Cast literaly didn't know what soript they were shooting until the day of the shoot in many scenes.
