The Robotech RPG is known to contain errors relative to Robotech data too, though I've forgotten specifics.

I get the impression it's supposed to be realistic cloning, not traditional sci-fi cloning. Born a baby, no memories. Hey, you got a better way to rebuild a species in a hurry? It makes perfect sense. And that DOES make sense? There were so many zentradi ships you couldn't see through the cloud. I'm suprised they weren't shooting EACH OTHER while bombarding the planet. The odds of any signifigant population of humans surviving were pretty slim. According to Macross Compendium, the survivors were either off-planet or in well-fortified areas(namely the incomplete Grand Cannons). Which makes sense given the scale of the bombardment.

That'll learn me. And now I'm reminded of MC Hammer. DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU TO ... TO.... TO A WORLD WITH NOTHING BUT GUNDAM WING FOR ANIME!

Yes, missiles were in the arms. But the reaction warheads were launched from the railguns, not on missiles.

Chernobyl didn't go boom either. The reaction didn't go critical. The fuel rods are too far apart for that. It just got hot enough to melt the reactor open. They still operate the other reactors at the site to this day. They also had inside knowledge that most attackers wouldn't have.

I've seen Optimus. I want Optimus. Badly. I may be an irate whiney ex-fan, but there's still a little kid inside me jumping on my liver screaming "I WANNA TWANSFOMER! GIMME!"

I understood the meaning. It just sounds odd.

I've got decent fansubs of 2 episodes currently.

No kidding? *buys game so he can launch orbital assaults against the battlefield*

As I understand it, one of the problems with modern Transformers is they CAN'T use real-world vehicles, at least in America. If I recall, a few companies threatened lawsuits over Robots in Disguise if some details on the toys(like distinctive styles of headlights/taillights) weren't changed. The companies that make cars and trucks and things that go don't want to be associated with toys, and WILL sue over it. Hence the whole Beast Wars thing. I see Armada as a step forward. At least we HAVE vehicles again, even if they're silly vehicles. Of course, I haven't bought a Transformer in ages. Early Gen2. The whole resurrection thing came as I was deciding I'd outgrown my toys, and I haven't really gotten back into them yet. Little things like new He-Man's Battlecat(Guns on Battlecat? Errrr, no.) and PC Megatron(DAMMIT, HE'S A HANDGUN!) help me keep irate enough at them to avoid that money hole/trip down memory lane. ... Maybe I should thank them instead of ranting.

Seeing beam weaponry filed as "conventional weapons" is odd, to say the least.

Don't be silly. The New Jersey was named after the Macross.

One quibble... You cited the constructicons as an example. But they were originally a nasty shade of neon green. The Gen2 versions, while tiny and lower quality, were also Tonka Yellow, the standard for construction equipment toys.

Ah, skip it... Enter the YF-12. All the speed and style of a Blackbird, only with missiles

I don't have it, but I've been talking to someone that does. He had it crash on him twice. Bad sign. But that's been his only technical gripe. Other than that it's been nothing but glowing praise. ... On the other hand, he's never watched the movies(which the game assumes you've done), so he has no idea what's going on most of the time.

Well, yah, but still... A guy can dream. Speaking of which... A destroid team piloted by the Jenius daughters!

How about only if they DON'T bring the variable Monster?

Looks a lot like it's jumping back to me.

By US copyright law, they no longer have any legal recourse to take against Mac2 and Plus, regardless of what their contract with Tatsunoko may or may not say. If you ignore it, you lose it. Simple as that. And Yamato Lover: Why quote me? I wasn't making accusations, just offering a valid use for multiple accounts.

Or is he too straight to be straight?

Idea thief. Space War 1, as seen from the bow of the Daedalus. Now THAT'S excitement!

I'd expect the IO for the BDI/BCS to be computer-filtered anyways. A human brain has spent it's entire life learning to drive a human body. It won't interface directly to a fighter very well, because it doesn't understand the body at all. Even a humanoid mech will have a diffrent performance than a human body, owing to things like diffrent construction and center of gravity. How many humans do you know with rifles in their thighs, jets in their backs, and lasers in their forearms? So the computer's still ACTUALLY in control of the vehicle. As was demonstrated during the battle with the Ghost. Guld had to explicitly order the computer to let him push the plane beyond what a human body can withstand before the final battle. It wouldn't have let him pull those maneuvers otherwise.

Roy and Shin... Now THERE'S a couple no one saw coming.

The Design Works book showed that gun in the sketches for the VF-1 too(as well as the cover). Based on the sketches, it looks like it ALMOST made it to the animation, and was changed right before the design was finalized, as the battroid carrying that rifle is a clean line-art drawing as opposed to a sketch. The battroid was also unchanged between that and the final pics, indicating that the design of the VF-1 was pretty much finalized at that point.

SR-71 or A-12 Blackbird. Hauls ass, and looks good doing it.
