To be fair, the original Terminator was a slow pile of tin, too. It was just stubborn. I imagine a modern Robocop movie would feature some stunts.

Specifically the Capcom arcade one.

MY PANTS!

Grendizer ugly? I don't think so. Gaiking is the king of ugly robots. Just as ugly is that one nuclear-powered Jet-Alone (JA) from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Now when will Bandai make a chogokin Mechander Robo? Meh. What does Luna know, anyway?

Ouch. You shold've cut his hand off.

I made one for Halloween once using a small flashlight, a plastic tube, and tape.

Yes. It looks much nicer now.

I could be mistaken. But I'm pretty sure they snagged a couple of seconds at the beginning of an episode recently.

I can argue that easily. Kotetsu Jeeg is way uglier. Its the only super robot with pinstripes. Although, this guy is also pretty damn ugly. Behold, "Golden Warrior Gold Lightan" AKA the only super robot to double as a meat tenderizer in its off time! Beat that. Okay... Lightan is... indescribably... you may have found a new #1. And it's a cardboard box with gold spraypaint. But Jeeg... there's just no contest. Grendizer is infinitely uglier.

Oh really ... , then what about the other SR like Getter and Gaiking ... the list goes on. Less ugly and less ugly. Though the latter is certainly trying to win.

I seem to recall they DID get Enterprise to plug them.

Unarguable Fact: Grendizer is the SINGLE UGLIEST SUPER ROBOT EVER.

It's an AnimeFriend Valk.

But Macross Exedol trying to sing hurts my ears more than RT Minmay ever did.

Gives the annoying kids something to do besides team-kill, anyways. ... Wasn't that supposed to come out for the CURRENT XBox?

But... brains are yummy.

Reminds me of that old Energizer ad where Vader's lightsaber fizzles out, he opens the battery door, and there's some generics in it.

What they said. Congratulations.

Personally... if nothing else her mouth is too big.

Crash could've been the test release for the new plant, while Macross could've been the last release for the old plant that they knew did good work.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! Anakin falls to the dark side, is seriously injured in a duel with ObiWan, and becomes Darh Vader. Senator Palpatine becomes Emperor Palpatine and institutes a reign of terror, including execution of all jedi. Yoda goes and hides in a swamp, while ObiWan ducks for cover in a desert. Luke and Leia are born, and hidden away.

And by that statement, it seems obvious that you haven't seen the TNG episode in question. . . or you associate "military" with "evil". . . In "Yesterday's Enterprise", characters remain essentially the same, except that the timelines have diverged at the point where the Enterprise-C either stayed and saved the Klingon vessels (thus leading to Fed/Klingon peace) or fell into the time rift, thus not saving the Klingons. . . and leading to a long Fed vs Klingon war that did not go well for the Federation. But, in that alternate timeline nobody who was evil becomes good, and nobody who was good becomes evil. Though one that was dead became live. ... Seriously, I think Tasha Yar set a record for most appearances of a dead character. It diverged before first contact. Dr. Flox compared diffrent versions of famous literature and was saying the "real" universe versions were all full of weak pansies, except for Shakespeare.

but that story, "Yesterday's Enterprise", was just classic, 'The path not taken' scenerio, not a true MU deal. The Enterprise C's departure from it's battle created a new universe, with a military Starfleet. It was A mirror universe, just not THE mirror universe. If that makes any sense.

You completely missed my point. Of course those old games are garbage, and nearly unplayable. It's called hindsight. But nobody questioned it back in "the day" because that's all there was! We played them bcause they were the first and only video games out there, and nobody dreamed that we'd have any consoles remotely like what we have today. We sure as hell didn't sit around and complain about how much better Tekken 3 was going to be compared to Intellivision Boxing. No. You sat there complainng how much better INTV Baseball was next to 2600 Baseball, in the first console war.

Meh. Was a good enough excuse for me. Observation: Anime on DVD has BG Crash listed as coming out before Macross. That would be because AOD is listing the retail release, which was later than the direct pre-order release from AnimEigo. That doesn't make sense. I was running off the 9-disk set, which never HAD a retail release. Besides which, the December 2001 release date matches teh reception of my set. If, of course, you're talking about BG CRash, that makes things worse, as it makes Crash come out even FURTHER before Macross.
