  1. Like I said in the other thread, those Go-Bots are delicious and I want the drilltank and SpayC and the SR-71, for sure. The tank guy is hot too, I hope they're doing Pathfinder.
  2. So I guess this is technology-related. Former electronics superstore and PC manufacturer turned flea market trash bin Radio Shack filed for bankruptcy. I can't say I'm even remotely surprised, they've been in a downward spiral for a decade at least. I'm only surprised it's taken them this long. But I also can't say it doesn't make me sad. They used to be such a great place, with so much neat stuff packed into such a small space.
  3. And the drill-tank guy, whose name escapes me. Drilltanks are always awesome. Spay-C looks, at first glance, like a pretty solid shuttle.Stubby tailfin, but whatcha gonna do? Now where's Pathfinder? The Gobots had a WAY better UFO than Transformers.
  4. It definitely gets into the weirder side of embracing parallel universes, though, since Space Brick is a very different character in the two different sources, but they're both still the canon Space Brick.
  5. Summary of any Robotech thread for the forseeable future: "LOL"
  6. Discotek also also has Mazinger Z. And (some installments of) Fist of the North Star. Looks like the situation is getting to be where if it's awesome, to the left of mainstream, and Not-ADV didn't snipe the license out of spite, Discotek has it.
  7. I actaully hope this goes somewhere. I kinda want to see what Hollywood's take on the transforming jet is. i have no real hope for the writing.
  8. Eh, I'm probably just disappointed that Tobikage didn't make it. Because that show was hilarious. But yeah, they did change their targets after the first round of failures.
  9. Damn, that's almost ADV-esque levels of backstabery. But whatever. I'm still mad at Funimation for never putting Symphogear on a disk, and waiting until I gave up and bought DVDs to put Railgun on BluRay(and for not including a slipcover with the disk 1+box, so disk 2 didn't match unless I threw out the slipcover... grrrr). Awesome. Hope it does better than AnimeSols has been doing. They seem to have a lot of trouble bringing in cash.
  10. HELL YES! Not to detract from the rest of this. Robot Carnival was pretty darn cool, and I'd like to see it again.
  11. Waitwaitwait... is he... wait... is he seriously riding with a raptor POSSE like some sort of Flintstones biker gang? I take back every criticism I have made to date, this shiznit's gonna be hilarious.
  12. Man, I haven't seen this one since it's theatrical run. Caught it right before it left theaters, too. One other person in the theater with us, and he fell asleep, so it was basically a private screening. Gorgeous film. Crazy, but gorgeous.
  13. If I were making an Astrotrain clone, I would include a tiny Devastator figurine in the cargo bay, just so I could answer with an affirmative.
  14. Aww yeah!Nothin' says fully-operational theme park like a pack of polar-bear-sized lizardwolves stalking humans through the grass.
  15. Does it come with a little heel click "speech bubble" for her foot? Because that would be awesome.
  16. MOST of Transformers sounds like bad fanfiction. It's not, generally speaking, a franchise that lends itself to great storytelling. We're here for the spectacle, and that sounds like a helluva spectacle.
  17. I liked the Tracks toy... until his hip fractured and his left leg came off irreperably.
  18. Honey, I gave billions to open a dinosaur theme park to the only company to ever let someone get ate by dinosaurs.
  19. Hell yes! Had a crapton of GoBots as a kid. I'd love to see them get more love than "we named our Mirage repaint Crasher"
  20. He really shouldn't treat Broadside that way.
  21. Or possibly incredibly old. Star Raiders did it back in 1979.
  22. That's pretty damn epic.
  23. Lesbian Bear Storm is such a ridiculous title. Waitin' for that one to finish up before I start in on it, though. Ikuhara's brand of crazy leaves me with a need to marathon.
  24. Huh. It feels shorter than that. Probably some combination of XP lasting so long and everyone getting hyped about Win10 well in advance of release. The saddest part about ME is... if compatibility layers had been ready at launch, Windows 2000 would've been the first NT targetted at home users. If nothing else, MS learned a valuable lesson about being backwards-compatible with old drivers. ME introduced a new driver standard. While ME could USE them, they were were far from optimal. Much of ME's legendary stability problems were down to companies offering 98 drivers and claiming they were ME drivers.
  25. Stampede doesn't even JUST feel like a Gundamized Valk. It's one of the superweapon Gundams with artillery bristling from every rivet. You could drop it into SEED or Wing and it would only look out of place because when it transforms it looks like SOMETHING, and not just a random assortment of robot kibble.
