    Jeez, kid, did no one tell you to go for the neck?

    Hey, at least Voltron had the decency to commit to making original animated content and follow through on it. A new season of the original show, apparently animated by the original staff, and two more original serieses. In that same time, Robotech did what? A TV movie scavenged from an aborted sequel, and then a direct-to-video movie of an aborted sequel twenty years later?

    For real. I want this gig. That said, I'd really like someone competent to get in there. I want Robotech to be something other than a ridiculous shambling zombie leeching off nostaglia and what appears more and more to be stockholm syndrome. Since it seems clear it won't die outright, I want to know what it takes to get something more than the same rehashes and embarrassments. How hard will it be to shake up that status quo and get fresh blood and new ideas in there?

    Repaint them all into GoBots. Except for Classics Mirage, because that's already an official mod.

    Poor guy hasn't yet learned the difference between Macross and Robotech. Many of us were once that naive and ignorant.

    It still reduces the burden on everything else, though. Pulling heat out at the "root" means less heat is going into everything else. At least, that was my thinking.

    I'm amazed they managed to get the tooling for the Jag. Be awesome if they made a run of replacement Jag cases in custom colors while they're running the molds.

    Clearly each feather is actually a protective shroud for a microvernier thruster, enabling finer control. (I think they're silly on a realistic robot, personally. They work better in a super robot show.)

    I was hoping they'd splay out into an array of metallic feathers like the Wing Zero Custom(it's how they implement the variable wing surface like the YF-21 had, OBVIOUSLY). But Sound Booster on Steroids would be amazing.

    Given the limited compatibility of the XBox One, it makes a lot of sense to me. If it's like the 360, they'll do a few compatibility updates, then stop. And then start selling emulated 360 games on the X1 online store, without enabling these same games in the backward-compatibility features.
  11. JB0
    It's worth noting there's three case revisions of the 360. The Slim had an angular cut-in, and the current version is very VCR-like in appearance, making it match the One.

    That IS one possibility. If Pluto has a lot more radioactive materials than we expected, they could provide the heat. Especially if the water has ammonia in it, which will drastically lower the freezing point, to the degree it becomes reasonable to occasionally see liquid water.

    Yeah, Pacific Rim didn't have near as much in the way of merchandise licenses as it could've. It kind of blew up in a big way that no one really expected, and everyone was caught with their pants down.
  14. JB0
    Nope. They're still tidally locked, so Pluto still doesn't experience any tidal forces. It's all really weird. Also weird: The largely featureless plains that exist within the Tombaugh Region(AKA "the heart"), and the general lack of cratering on both Pluto and Charon, which were both expected to be very heavily cratered.
  15. JB0
    It should be noted that heat is also disposed of through propulsion. I assume quite a large bit of otherwise waste heat is going out the back along with reaction mass.
  16. JB0
    They already ruled out Charon, as Pluto and Charon are tidally locked. There's no tidal forces from Charon, since Pluto revolves at the same rate Charon orbits. (Charoncharoncharoncharoncharon hey charon doesn't sound like a word anymore.)) 2 may have some impact, but while Pluto gets closeR to the sun, it never gets CLOSE to the sun. It shouldn't ever get warm enough for H2O to do anything interesting(as opposed to methane, which does all kinds of cool things during a plutonian summer). Perhaps it got too close to Neptune in the past, but... I'd think that would have disrupted Pluto's orbit terminally.

    And that first picture had ice mountains in it. YOUNG mountains at that. Pluto apparently has active geology. I think I speak for everyone when I say "WHAT." That's just so far outside the bounds of expectations, what CAN you say to it? The thing's not big enough to have internal heat still, it's not near Jupiter to power this with tidal forces, there's no reason we can figure at first glance why there should be the energy to move mountains, but... mountains. What can you say to that but "WHAT."?

    I find it an amusing touch that Satellizer's tan matches the original bikini and not the one that ships with the tanned statue.
  19. JB0
    You chose wisely. Thrust is awesome, but he's no Shockwave.

    As I recall, Saban backed off the Power Rangers thing because of the huge wall of fan outrage that hit them like a giant tidal wave. Harmony Gold doesn't care about fan outrage, though.
  21. JB0
    Oh. I thought they were ALL pewter. Lame.
  22. JB0
    I think you mean shitty unpainted mini PEWTER models for a board game!
  23. JB0
    Given the franchise, it'd be surprising if she wasn't.
  24. JB0
    Basically, if you're too vague to be legally safe, you aren't making a fan movie anymore. Do what you want, screw the rules, stick it to the man!

    Filming begins in November, more focus on the kaiju, more kaiju vs yaeger action hell yes want now.
