    Ohhh, that weird Robotech knockoff movie!

    I think this is a reference to something.

    In fairness, Macross fans weren't going to donate their money to fund production of Harmony Gold's pilot episode anyways, and any bridges between the two communities have long since been burned. Giving us the finger didn't hurt them, it just made them look like petulant children(as usual).

    I don't understand how Leia's in this one? Is this all footage that was already shot and unused, or a CG zombie?

    There were a couple of english DYRL releases on VHS, but none on DVD. You've got a bootleg.

    I think that is what we were all saying. No one was saying George Lucas was a visionary and master storyteller. Just that he was making the movies he wanted to make, and Disney Wars isn't what anyone wanted to make.

    I think Lucas was a victim of his own success. He started believing the hype about "George Lucas made Star Wars all on his own with no help from anyone", and... he needed some help. So "Poor George, no one was around to show him how bad Phantom Menace was"

    BB8 is the best friend possible for a wookie, because he has no arms to rip off.

    Man, why did no one tell me there was a super robot made entirely out of motorcycles? Thates awesome!

    Well, there is that. But even before that happened, I think there's one thing that runs through all the Lucas Star Wars films that isn't present in ANY of the Disney films. Whether good or bad, the Lucasarts films were the movies that one guy wanted to make, more or less. The Disney films are typical Hollywood design-by-committee affairs, and the difference shows, no matter how much Hollywood wants to believe it doesn't. I'm not saying that The Force Awakens is WORSE than The Phantom Menace, because I believe you can make a good case for Episode I being the worst movie ever. I AM saying that The Force Awakens lacks a soul. The Phantom Menace is a bad movie, but it is the movie someone wanted to make. The Force Awakens isn't the movie anyone wanted to make. It is a collection of check marks and bullet points that's been worked over by so many people that all the facets of whatever gem was once inside it have been worn off. Whatever made it special was cut off and polished away.

    Welcome to Transformers: Siege. Every character has some annoying battle damage paint slapped across it. Some of them wear it well, some you basically can't see it, and some ... are Soundblaster.

    Not gonna lie, with the whole "toon accuracy or GTFO" thing that's been running through the franchise lately, it is REALLY weird for them to suddenly be "toy accuracy or GTFO" for Rumble, where opinions about toon vs toy accuracy are strongest. Personally, I think they should sell the toon-accurate one as Rumble, and the toy-accurate one as Ranburu. Or Toon Rumble and Comic Rumble. THERE IS NO FRENZY.

    I believe the traditional Hollywood move at this point is a remake of the original movie. Time to reboot Star Wars, with a reimagining the likes of which you've never seen before.

    Naw, they could say the FinnxPoe romance was the only good part of the otherwise-disastrous film and get away scot-free.

    I keep forgetting there IS a scale these days. Much like Starscream, trainbots will probably be built to robot scale, resulting in a silly small train.

    Not gonna lie, I really like Grendizer wearing the shuttle as a power suit("boxer frame", as a diffrent franchise called that idea). Sure power arror for a giant robot is stupid, but it is an AWESOME kind of stupid.

    Look on the bright side. It could've been yet another Optimus Prime.
  18. JB0
    That is a lot of Voltrons. I feel bad for whatever robeast provoked this.
  19. JB0
    Given it is Star Wars, I don't know why they made Phasma turn them off instead of just shooting the controls.
  20. JB0
    Nice. Very nice.

    It isn't impossible IF YOU USE THE FORCE. Boba Fett was a secret jedi. Canon.

    Mine had the knee connectors break off, then the chest module basically came apart in my hands. I kept the chest fighter jet and footcars.
  23. JB0
    That is absolutely what I meant. You know, some days I miss my big chunky Vehicle Voltron. Sure he had the posability of a brick, sure mine didn't come with fists(yay Toys R Us markdown rack!), but darn it, he was BIG!

    I just had an amazing realization about what is likely accidental continuity. So there's the lion Voltron episode where Doom builds a fake Voltron and the wreck its shizzle by detaching the arms? And they decide that the next time they build a fake Voltron they're including the separate lions instead of just the giant robot. Right? And then in Fleet of Doom Lotor shows up with five robeasts that combine to form a bootleg Voltron, complete with "blazing scimitar", and gets his shizzle wrecked anyways. (In fairness, he wasn't counting on fighting two Voltrons. No one should have to fight two Voltrons. Life's just not fair sometimes.) It really seems like a follow-up on the fake Voltron episode. That's all. Edit to ask: Soul of Chogokin Voltron Robeast when? (Never, I presume)

    No, I was thinking of an energy piece that goes between the hands, without the sword there. Like in the cartoon, after Keith says "Form blazing sword!". You know, I remember that as being more impressive. Thanks, Youtube, you ruined my childhood.
