  1. NO TRUCE! NUKE! NUKE! NUKE!
  2. That would be the 15 spaceship vehicle Voltron. In Matchbox terms: Voltron I (Go-Lion was Voltron III) In Godaikin/Popy terms: Dairugger Minor correction: Goliion was Voltron 2, not 3.
  3. As I understand things, FASA got a license for the lineart, and the Macross mechs were "retired" later after Harmony Gold sued/threatened to sue. But apparently part of the settlement was "don't talk about the settlement" so no one's ever said exactly what happened. Which is really disappointing since the FASA people are among the few that may have seen Harmony Gold's license.
  4. Undoubtedly. Pr'ly more so if it has the spring-loaded missile launchers. Later releases had the guns disabled due to stupid child safety regulations.
  5. Maybe?
  6. Correct. Well, almost. Early reactive armor is only designed to interfere with HEAT ("high explosive anti-tank, a.k.a. "shaped charge") rounds. Newer reactive armor can also interfere with AP. And in case anyone's wondering, it's been around since at least 1982--there are pictures of Syrian tanks in Lebanon which have it. It gives them a texture kind of like The Thing from Fantastic Four. The U.S. uses it too. That part in M0 where Roy's 1S has reactive armor doesn't strike me as particularly accurate, by the way, but since I've never seen a super slo-mo of a round hitting reactive armor, I could easily be mistaken. Well, I thought HEAT rounds WERE a kind of armor-piercing weapon. They sure punch through it well enough...
  7. And make their website work right!
  8. That's diffrent. Reaction weaponry = nuclear reaction = nukes. And the Earth is the only people with reaction weaponry, because the protoculture took it back from the Zentradi. Reactive armor = the armor reacts to an attack. Almost invariably means there's explosives that blow up, interfering with armor-piercing weaponry. Overtechnology = super-high-tech stuff reverse-engineered from the Macross.

    Neither do X-Wings. And if an X-Wing was a Valkyrie, it owuldn't have proton torpedoes. And Valkyries have reaction missiles. NUKE TEH SONS OF DAUGHTERS!11
  10. *sighs* I want a new Votlron, but ... it looks UGLY. *sighs again* Too bad I never finished that die-cast set when I was little. Then broke the 2 lions I DID have.

    Wouldn't that mean a Valkyrie was the ultimate weapon?
  12. Well, it's from Akira, and appears to be red... That's about all I know.
  13. Beause Focker was bad-ass enough to NOT have an ugly heatshield.
  14. Millia. Provided, of course, I can skip the knife in the face on the first date...

    I TOLD her to dodge, not block!
  16. HAHA! It looks constipated!
  17. I had PB&J and some nachos.
  18. Maybe Patlabor, I DID see that once. ... Looked some pics up, 'S not it. I've never played Armored Core, that can't be it. I think the SV-51 is it. The windshield gives it the right head shape. Thanks,
  19. DAMMIT! The headlight makes me think of something, but I can't figure out what!
  20. No prob. According to Macross Compendium, ep. 4 is scheduled for a spring release.
  21. They aren't out yet. Dunno when they come out.
  22. Ay-ay-ay... That's what everyone always assumes, but it's just NOT true. Look hard enough and YES, there ARE Toynami valks on the shelves of stores in Tokyo. And it pisses me off. I want to know how the hell they're getting away with this. imports? same can be said about yamato toys here. ya but we're talkin about "store shelves". You can't find Yammys on Toys R Us stores in the US, all because of the HG "Blows" license thingy Can you find Toynami MPCs on TRU shelves in Japan? I doubt so. Assume HG never interfered, and Toycom is able to distribute Yamatos freely in the US. I doubt we'll see them on US TRU shelves still. To date I have yet to see any toys distributed by Toycom on TRU shelves. I've only seen their products at comic stores. I've seen them in game stores too. Haven't actually CHECKED toy stores...
  23. I smell a friendly-fire accident in your version of Hikaru's future. ... Well, another friendly-fire accident.
  24. That's what I was thinking.
  25. I was looking around that site and i found this "One of Harmony Gold's flagship titles is Robotech, the Japanese anime franchise that includes a groundbreaking TV series originated in 1985; two feature films, novels, comic books and toy" What exactly are the 'two feature films'? I hope they dont cound DYRL? as one of them Hybridchild That's just their domestic cataloge, they're more of an international distributor. Doesn't answer the question at all.
