I haven't heard anything about TV region issues. I wouldn't be surprised if the different refresh rate caused some issues, but the PS3 has no region-coding on games. PS3 uses standard hard drives. You can fit a terrabyte in there if you're so inclined.

It's always a possibility, but it's so close to zero it doesn't really matter. Space is almost incomprehensibly huge. Assuming it's canon, Fleet of the Strongest Women represents, statistically speaking, the ONLY chance encounter with a zentradi fleet they'll have for a few centuries.

I think they just said Hasbro wouldn't do it. Takara was always held out as a possibility.

Nope. Miclone is a zentradi term. It refers to zentradi which have been made smaller through the micloning process. It's also used to refer to races of "little people" when they aren't being mistaken for the protoculture.

That or it was a matter of perspective. Or an animation error. The poor guy Max jumped in the restroom was oversized too. Though we've yet to figure out how they got the uniform to hang believably on his 1A regardless of sizing. http://www.new-un-spacy.com/scalecharts/sizechart-1.gif Note the representative zent standing on the far right.

A battroid is too big to fit the cockpit area of either mech. Therefore... a battroid is larger than a typical zentradi soldier.

A little bigger, actually. The "same size" argument(which is Rawbootech canon) comes from the brawl with Britai when Hikaru, Kakizaki, and Misa were captured. But Britai is larger than the average zentradi, so being his size makes a VF-1 larger than a zentradi soldier. </nitpick> Now everyone back to ogling Klan.

'Sa bit long for a filetype. 3-character extensions rule.

It IS implied by the term.

That was my assumption too, actually. Good thing she died, huh? (I largely stayed out of the Zero threads. Don't remember why anymore.) Well, it's a lot easier to do DYRL prequels, since DYRL has so much less in it. I'm pretty sure that's why the TV series was used as the core of the timeline. Of course, DYRL itself assumes you've seen the TV series. I don't think it works well as a standalone story. *chuckles* Now I'm remembering the PS2 game pre-release hype. They were claiming it would contain the "definitive" version of Space War 1... and it wound up with the TV and DYRL story arcs co-existing in the same game, on separate irreconcilable paths.

If I recall, the "TV series is real" point was only for purposes of constructing a timeline, and the "real" Space War 1 is supposed to be somewhere in between the two. I probably wasn't paying enough attention, but I don't see where Zero fails to fit, chronologically. Now, I DO see some problems, though. Focker has short hair, Focker has no booze, and Focker fails miserably at picking up a chick. The obvious conclusion is that the Roy Focker in Zero isn't OUR Focker, but someone else with the same name.

I was somewhat amazed that the VF-17 doesn't have an auto-eject like the VF-11. Of course, look at Basara. They actually title an episode "Basara Dies!" and then he... lives.

It would explain the giant chicken leg that Kamjin was eating in the original series.

1st rule of zentradi anatomy: It changes every year.

I have a strong suspicion that shaking the hand of anyone in this club would be unsanitary at best.

And, of course, they totally miss that the show is actively mocking the angsty prettyboy stereotype.

No, but I suspect it's only the hard vacuum of space that prevents them from doing so. They're fangirls of the worst sort.

I actually like 7. I probably won't watch it again, but it's a fun show with some interesting ideas(some of which are handled poorly, but...). But for an entire fleet of meltrandi to be reduced to screaming undewrwear-throwing fangirls with one song... it shatters my poor QRau-loving heart.

Well, we know she couldn't use the missile cloud that's so beloved by QRau pilots everywhere, since she still had live missiles in the launcher.That probably didn't help.

I approve of this thread. And I am now starting a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure to Miclone Syndrome, so that she may enjoy the full glory of her heritage no matter how tall she is.

*twitch* Fleet of the Strongest Women doesn't exist! It never happened! Seriously, there's a reason that one wound up on the cutting-room floor. It's BAD. Even by Macross 7's standards, it's just... horribly horribly stupid.

Sorta being the operative word. I can see it now that it's been pointed out, but I probably would've gone right by it and not noticed otherwise. But since it HAS been pointed out... Bot/altmode pix plzkthx!

I'm not sure "pleasure" is the right word. I've played VFX2, and it's not what I would call a great game. There's also significant differences between versions of VF-19(even ignoring Basara's custom 19).

Indeed. It's what prompted the gunpod grab discussion.

Because it's fun? That word should never be applied to a comic book movie. Ever. Iron Man was FUN, but about as far from realistic as possible without stretching suspension of disbelief well beyond the breaking point. Speaking of realism... The arc reactor's silly too. It certainly helps that we aren't inundated in techbabble though. And it helps even more that they aren't trying to pass it off as real-world tech behaving in a very unreal nature. (See also: The World Is Not Enough's repeated abuses of and outright inversions of fact when talking about fission, though Spidey had a lot more heart than Bond). Yeah, that wasn't pretty. Especially how the suit shattered around him without harming him. The same rules that should splatter Tony in that scene should splatter him equally effectively in many other scenes, though. Ladies and gentlemen, Newton has left the building. But... that was probably the most realistic piece of tech in the entire movie.

The seal. Definitely the seal.
