    Which still leaves you without the media. Buy disks, watch forever.

    I'd say it validates the purpose of a streaming service. You don't own it, they can change or remove it at any time, and you have no recourse.

    Look on the bright side. If you get a fifth to make Metalhead, it will be cheaper!

    Macross went out to get cigarettes when I was little and never came home. Probably because there's no smoking on the bridge.

    I wish they'd quit remaking the remake. There were some huge narrative changes in Silver Star Story that make it significantly less interesting than The Silver Star was. I miss my badass triple-crossing Nash.

    I hope they use a Primal head instead of a Prime head, because this screams Beast Wars.

    You know, I often use the term "legally distinct converting robots" instead of (the dishonest and misleading IMO) "third-party Transformers", but damn. Fugu does NOT give even a single crap about being "legally distinct".

    He's got some Guyver vibes to me. ... And that whole series is ALSO "things the Protoculture might have cooked up and then irresponsibly discarded somewhere". It's kinda sad, though. I think Quintesson has a more credible jet than... pretty much any Transformer that is supposed to turn into a jet in the last decade.

    Yeah... it's sad, but in honesty, Anandtech's been dead for years. This is just the period at the end of the sentence. Their owners also own Tom's Hardware, and didn't see a point in paying to staff two tech news sites.

    Yeah, I think the Logan's an adorable little piece of fictional machinery too.

    I'd arrange a Decepticon/Waruder alliance. With both sides intending to betray their allies and seize Earth's freezon and energon for themselves once the Autobot and Diaclone forces are defeated, naturally.

    The modern Diaclone line has several transforming robots in it.

    If it is a new mold, I want it to be a Fire Valkyrie/Blaster mashup.

    This just feels weird like "Diaclone Universe Twin Twist", which made no sense and I don't think ever got anything written to try and justify it.

    I don't understand this crossover. "It's Zoids Liger mixed with Battle Convoy mixed with Battle Convoy again... hold on..." Like... is this a piloted Optimus Prime? Is the Zoids pilot there as a sort of Powermaster support? Zoids are already intelligent machine life, so doesn't this make Prime a combiner? And how do you even DO Diaclone x Transformers in a meaningful sense, particularly with a character that originated as an unaltered Diaclone toy in the first place and has never strayed very far from that origin?!

    It's official. Armored Core is as big as Megaman now.
  18. JB0
    Good point.

    Paint a goatee and moustache on the Knight head, so KARR transforms into Garth/evil Michael.

    Oh man... mine's basically a time capsule from twenty years ago. Avatar's Yuki from Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. Because Haruhi-ism was real and I haven't had much urge to change it. I've always changed avatars sparingly. JB0 is... well, my standard nom de clavier at the time was JB, but MacrossWorld required a minimum three-character name, so I added a zero. The letters had already lost any meaning at this point in my cyberlife, the joke they began as so irrelevantly weak it was forgotten almost instantly. I was just using the name because it was who I was online. I've claimed the two letters stood for a few things over the years, but it was mostly post-hoc justifications. Name length limitations would be an increasingly-common problem moving forward, as well as the two-character namespace being full, resulting in JB becoming Jaybee before eventually being retired as my primary nom de clavier. Tangentally, if the corners of internet JB was born in had moved to requiring logins a few months sooner, I would've been known as Jack Daniels. Dodged a bullet there.

    That at least sounds true to the games... Yeah, this looked like an atomic dumpster inferno from very early on. Sad to see it happen. If only Warner had been making this, they could've cancelled it for the tax writeoff and spared everyone the suffer ring.
  22. JB0
    USMC... well, that explains the Daedalus attack. The marines probably submitted a proposal to punch enemies out of the sky with their pride and joy less than a day after the first transformation.
  23. JB0
    I'm told that Roadbuster was based on his appearances in IDW at the time. Tatsunoko's still around, somehow. But I don't believe they're any sort of legal obstacle. (Especially since they seem to be owned by Takara now?)

    They don't actually need a Dorvack license unless they want to sell them as Dorvack toys. Copyright on toys isn't particularly strong. The molds are copyrighted, so they'd need a license from the owner of the molds to make a reissue of the originals, but beyond that it is mostly a free-for-all. They redid both characters a few years back. I was surprised at the time, just because they're not characters that usually get attention.
  25. JB0
    After Revenge of the Titans, anyways. There were a lot of characters I was sure would never see another release that made it in during "everybody's a headmaster now". Hasbro gave us HOPE with that line.
