    I mean, in fairness, that particular twist has been telegraphed so heavily for so long that the only thing actually surprising about it is that it didn't happen in the final episode of the TV series.

    Jesus Christ.... May the greatest power ranger(I recognized his awesomeness when I didn't even like the show) find the peace that escaped him in life.

    Or ejecting the cockpit as a module(seen frequently on the VF-11 in Macross 7), or the entire nose as a module(seen once in SDF Macross)

    Makes you wonder if maybe they needed one more meeting than they had. "Hey, you hear anything about the new VF-19?" "The guys I ran into said they're working on big avionics changes to make it more pilot-friendly." "Huh. Wonder why no one told us a new revision was coming. Let's see if we can't get another thousand kilos of thrust in there, so the pilots can make the most of this new friendlier OS!"

    Also, the delay before the toned-down, more-controllable VF-19 variants came out left an opening for the VF-171 to exploit. Particularly as even after the VF-19 stopped killing pilots, it still had to overcome a reputation and was still pretty expensive.

    Hopefully this goes well. The idea that we might see a return to the moon in my lifetime is suddenly looking real again.

    Godzilla in that picture's just going "Bro, seriously? I gotta drop you to the floor AGAIN?"

    They definitely weren't planning on coming back for the protodevlin, but the rest? Maybe. "You know, this is wildly and irresponsibly dangerous, but it hasn't actually tried to kill us yet. Let's think about it for a bit before we do anything we can't take back."

    Gotcha.

    A real Jingle Bell Rock & Roll Out kinda feelin'. Yes, that was terrible. No, I'm not sorry.

    The Birdman is exempt, at least. It was SUPPOSED to be laying in wait as a moralistic boobytrap. I'll even give 'em a partial pass on the Sigur Berrentzs, since they may very well have wanted to think about this for a bit and then come back to it if it turned out they did the math wrong and it wouldn't actually set fire to the atmosphere make everyone in the universe's head do the gooey kablooey. But the rest? Sheesh. Just render it down into something no longer resembling structured matter as soon as possible.

    Seriously, though. Were the protoculture somehow completely unaware of any black holes they could drop these things into?

    Beachstormer. Hot Shot is mostly just from the splashes of red in the yellow chest and (especially) the awkwardly-large shoulders.
  14. JB0
    You aren't wrong. And in terms of existing characters, they missed the obvious choice of, you know, HOUND. But yellow character with disproportionately huge shoulders? Hot Shot.
  15. JB0
    With those shoulders, I think Hot Shot woulda been more appropriate than Bumblebee.

    The voltage rating of the wires was different and the construction of the connector was different too. There seem to be (at least) two different revisions of the adapter "in the wild". GN is trying to get adapters from other people, especially people who have had failures or have one with 150V-rated wiring. Because Steve knows we won't be happy until there's a fire!
  17. JB0
    Interestingly, Gamers Nexus was unable to recreate the failure(no fire, worst GN investigation ever), and the adapters they got are a completely different construction than the one dissected by Igor's Lab.

    I love the "random widgets under glass" look too. But hey, at least Skids wasn't in the cartoon enough to matter, or you'd be shouting into a howling vortex of "featureless blue rectangles because toon accuracy or gtfo". So there's a bright side!

    We are protoculture. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated .

    Presents are the right of all sentient beings.

    There's rumors he's been at odds with the entire rest of the crew since the first episode, as he's basically the only one involved that cares about the books and games. And several of the writers have expressed active hatred for the source material. He may just be completely unwilling to ride this train to the final stop after the writers moved it from Albuquerque to Saskatchewan.

    Nice! I really like the Tetsujin FX.
  23. JB0
    I think I DID notice that before! It actually bugged the heck outta me.

    Gotta buy all 7 billion characters!

    Ayup!
