  1. Well, not until the rest of the mech goes up like a firecracker...
  2. Because borg shields can't adapt to melee weaponry.
  3. "Monsters from teh id? You mean we're fighting our subconscious?" "No, monsters from Id, the parallel universe! They're made of dark matter, so we can't see them! Really, learn your science better!"
  4. Actually, it doesn't affect projectiles(which go molten when they hit anyways, at the class of firepower we're talking about). It affects shaped-charge warheads, which use explosives in a special layout to create essentially a large powerful blowtorch for a brief period of time. It's designed to disrupt jets of flaming gasses, not solid projectiles..
  5. The Zentradi never DID seem to care much for pilot comfort. Regulds, Glaugs, QRaus, QReas, it doesn't matter what you fly. It's not gonna be a really comfortable ride.
  6. *claps* I do have to say, though... As hard as I've been on the movie before, I don't want anyone getting the impression I hate it. It's a fun movie, it's just doo dependent on the TV series. And even within the limits placed on it as a remake requiring prior knowledge, there IS still a fairly ambitious plot. And they really care about the characters, even if they don't have enough time to develop a lot of things. They try very hard to avoid turning into raw mechaporn. And it seems like that was hard to do in the mid-80s.
  7. Britai's VA was the first. Seems he died in 1985. And Kaifun's VA was all over the internet, but not as Kaifun's VA. His "big" role was Gundam's Noah Bright.
  8. I demand the Ford class be equipped with a PINTO missile system.
  9. PROTOCULTUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. 4th. Him, Britai, Hikaru, and Kaifun.
  11. They could do something with Southern Cross. I think there were some helicopter robots no one made toys of.
  12. It's awesomely silly. ... I called the Tigers to ask about the fanclub rates. They were confused.
  13. Well, if they could make enough food for full-size meltrandi engaged in heavy manual labor post-war, I'm sure they have a solution. ... Hopefully a better one than throwing turkey drumsticks in the micloning chamber. Edit: Whoops, I meant zentradi. I blame that lost 2 years summary with it's giant wrestler chicks.
  14. Ya know, I think it's VERY obvious that the one who got Alto was KLAN. Really, she passes him Micheal's gunpod and everything. It's CLEARLY symbolic of her "letting go" of his memory and moving on, and passing it to Alto is signifying that he's carrying on Micheal's legacy. And his acceptance of the gun is, well, an acceptance of all it means. It's like an engagement ring, only more awesome and with more emotional baggage.
  15. Ah. I'd assumed it was an offhand remark at a con or something. One too many people asked "What happened to Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay? You know, AFTER Hikaru married Misa and they all left on the Megaroad?" "They all fell in a black hole or something. Can we talk about something else now?" More politely than that, of course, but... 'Course, the late-80s/early-90s games were all non-canon anyways. Fun though they may be. Kinda odd that Komillia's only MENTION as something larger than a football is non-canon video games, but... I've had that happen to me before too.
  16. I meant what's the story on the blackhole. I know Kawamori doesn't want to write more of them(for obviosur easons, IMO).
  17. PROTOCULTUREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! ... It's probably a very bad thing that that was my first thought.
  18. What's the story on that, anyways? We could bring back the old Stealth ban. Just for giggles, since everyone seems to have forgotten the movie.
  19. I don't think they knew. But... "The January 2009 issue of EGM, shown above, is reported to be the last one to see print. The February issue is complete, and its content is slated to be distributed digitally, either in PDF format or in the form of articles on 1UP.com." http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2009/01/magwea..._reportedly.php I'll be interested to see how that goes. Especially with 1UP being sold and everyone getting fired.
  20. Yeah. There were significant social barriers to making culture. The zentradi acted like little kids afraid of the cooties when they saw their first kiss. And Kawamori help those poor goons on the factory satellite that had to look at Komillia. EXTREME baby-phobia. ... *chuckle* Never thought of it before, but... the pregnancy must've been one hell of a culture-shock to Millia. Millia: "So wait... not only is there a MINI-ME GROWING IN MY STOMACH, you're telling me that it's gonna PUNCH IT'S WAY OUT MY-" Doctor: "Nononono, there will be no punching. It won't even have any real motor control for quite some time after it's b-" "THAT DEMONSPAWN JUST KICKED ME IN MY STOMACH! FROM THE INSIDE! OH GOD! IT'S TRYING TO GET OUT!" "Nononono, that's perfectly normal. It's just-" "YOU SAID THEY COULDN'T MOVE! MAX, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
  21. Thankfully, they aren't watching me. Apparently there's a "special edition" out now, too. Sitting alongside it's shelfwarmer older brother.
  22. Yep, that's definitely hot. Yep, I'm definitely getting it. Yep, my wallet definitely hates you guys.
  23. I got an image of Klan putting the best yoga masters in the world to shame. ... I like my image better. MUCH better. How plot important was it? It didn't work very long at all. And even if it DID fit, it wasn't a very believable costume. The upturned collar automatically drew suspicion, and as soon as someone tried to make eye contact(or looked down at the feet), the gig was up.
  24. You're missing HIS point. Why don't the other shows generate similar royalty issues? Of course, I think the answer is that Fire Bomber was a "real" band. But if they signed their international distribution rights away to get financing... I agree they have a good chance of winning any case about the sequels if they fight. I'm not so sure about the original, though. Remember, the japanese courts upheld that Tatsunoko does have partial rights to the original series.
  25. Ooooohhhh....
