    The Predator would probably leave the planet in search of worthy prey.

    A Microbus Transformer. Just what we always needed.

    Nah, she's the kind of character that trips and falls in the mud right as the hunter pulls the trigger, then turns the tables while he's figuring out where she went.

    Heck yeah! A little disappointed the humanoid form isn't as cute as the tank, but... still fantastic.

    I mean, it is no sillier than punching someone with an aircraft carrier on a jury-rigged mount.

    I get the impression they were fairly well-routed by the time of the original series. Throwing away functional ships after rigging them up as mines smacks of desperation. I could be wrong, of course. The other obvious interpretation is that the meltrandi fleet in DYRL was a "reskinned" Supervision Army fleet, and the narrative conceit that the movie is a fiction that exists within the setting provides a good excuse for that reskinning to happen.

    I'm very much in the same boat. On the one hand, it does save me a lot of money. But on the other... I want more cool robot toys!

    That's sexy as hell... and would've beel drawn on-model even less frequently.

    We can blame slavish cartoon accuracy for that one. It is the way Sunbow drew the toy(I hesitate to say "consistently" given the show in question). With the market trending towards "exactly like the cartoon or no sale", spending more to do him right will likely only be punished with reduced sales, as disappointing as it is.

    That's it, we've hit the peak. No Macross story can ever top this one.

    AND it involves saving a dog! Automatic +50!

    I do love how it makes it look kinda like he's driving himself around. Even makes a good case for why all the windows are transparent, which is usually a bad idea when there's robot crammed into the car cabin. I'd be lying if I said there was much more to love about this, but let's see if we can't find something! The translucent panels on the legs are always a plus for me... I kinda like how the chainspears look attached to the car... ummm... yeah, I'm out. It's a pretty rough toy of a Bayformer design, and I never liked the aesthetic to start with.

    I hope it gets delayed a year, so it comes out on the thirtieth anniversary of the original movied

    Hey, the REAL problem is the shot is sideways! We can only see one dude's face! These are important dudes! Seriously, though, it baffles me that they'd go to so much effort to set a 1:1 remake shot up, and then completely flub camera placement. Not angry about this, just confused.

    So you're saying The Matrix is actually just a Megazone prequel? I'm fine with that.

    For what it is worth, my Fangry wasn't loose. Bad sign that your's was, though. And he shoulda come with a dang gun. I can't complain about the transformation being lazy, really. The original was every bit as lazy. I really did pay eighty bucks just for a Fangry toy, though. And not even a great Fangry. *sigh* Having already picked up this mold as Cliffhjumper, I didn't really care about Bumblejumper or Hubcap or whatever name this particular variant carries these days. I didn't want Blackarachnia at all, and still don't care about this mold. (Odd, really. I usually like "sexy ladybot" designs.) And... I passed on Monkey Prime when it was the cartoon design and this package actually makes me think that was a mistake. Nemesis Monkey is a pretty cool mold, though the chest plate is kinda slapdash and looks incomplete no matter what you do. I actually spent a while trying to find the step I missed there, but there was no step. ... So in the end I paid eighty bucks for Fangry... and Optimus Primal after a bad day on the paintball range. I GUESS that's better?

    Meanwhile, the TF:Animated fans are still wondering when they get THEIR ship that DOES transform. ... It actually wouldn't surprise me if this toy was proposed as Animated Omega Supreme, and then reworked into the Ark.

    It was 80 when I looked earlier. Guess The Algorithm™ decided it was too popular.

    Seems to be authored by James Kirk himself. I trust our favorite captain to dramatize things suitably for maximum impressiveness.

    While it is not my one true film, Super Mario Brothers is probably in my top five if I had a small stack to watch for life...

    Oh dear. Good luck.

    Lotta good choices in here. We are clearly a community with excellent taste in cinema.

    I think I'm gonna get Mocha and pose her near Nicee, but with different loadout. Huge backpack on one and huge longbow on the other, or something.
  24. JB0
    Pacific Rim, no question.

    Because the way the Daily Mail wrote the article makes it sound like something important was lost instead of one of many prerelease copies.
