    The modern Diaclone line has several transforming robots in it.

    If it is a new mold, I want it to be a Fire Valkyrie/Blaster mashup.

    This just feels weird like "Diaclone Universe Twin Twist", which made no sense and I don't think ever got anything written to try and justify it.

    I don't understand this crossover. "It's Zoids Liger mixed with Battle Convoy mixed with Battle Convoy again... hold on..." Like... is this a piloted Optimus Prime? Is the Zoids pilot there as a sort of Powermaster support? Zoids are already intelligent machine life, so doesn't this make Prime a combiner? And how do you even DO Diaclone x Transformers in a meaningful sense, particularly with a character that originated as an unaltered Diaclone toy in the first place and has never strayed very far from that origin?!

    It's official. Armored Core is as big as Megaman now.
  6. JB0
    Good point.

    Paint a goatee and moustache on the Knight head, so KARR transforms into Garth/evil Michael.

    Oh man... mine's basically a time capsule from twenty years ago. Avatar's Yuki from Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. Because Haruhi-ism was real and I haven't had much urge to change it. I've always changed avatars sparingly. JB0 is... well, my standard nom de clavier at the time was JB, but MacrossWorld required a minimum three-character name, so I added a zero. The letters had already lost any meaning at this point in my cyberlife, the joke they began as so irrelevantly weak it was forgotten almost instantly. I was just using the name because it was who I was online. I've claimed the two letters stood for a few things over the years, but it was mostly post-hoc justifications. Name length limitations would be an increasingly-common problem moving forward, as well as the two-character namespace being full, resulting in JB becoming Jaybee before eventually being retired as my primary nom de clavier. Tangentally, if the corners of internet JB was born in had moved to requiring logins a few months sooner, I would've been known as Jack Daniels. Dodged a bullet there.

    That at least sounds true to the games... Yeah, this looked like an atomic dumpster inferno from very early on. Sad to see it happen. If only Warner had been making this, they could've cancelled it for the tax writeoff and spared everyone the suffer ring.

    USMC... well, that explains the Daedalus attack. The marines probably submitted a proposal to punch enemies out of the sky with their pride and joy less than a day after the first transformation.

    I'm told that Roadbuster was based on his appearances in IDW at the time. Tatsunoko's still around, somehow. But I don't believe they're any sort of legal obstacle. (Especially since they seem to be owned by Takara now?)

    They don't actually need a Dorvack license unless they want to sell them as Dorvack toys. Copyright on toys isn't particularly strong. The molds are copyrighted, so they'd need a license from the owner of the molds to make a reissue of the originals, but beyond that it is mostly a free-for-all. They redid both characters a few years back. I was surprised at the time, just because they're not characters that usually get attention.

    After Revenge of the Titans, anyways. There were a lot of characters I was sure would never see another release that made it in during "everybody's a headmaster now". Hasbro gave us HOPE with that line.
  14. JB0
    I suppose that's fair. It just feels weird, particularly for someone incapable of beginning an interaction without saying "please state the nature of the medical emergency". He also changed his clothes in the episode where he had to play the Emergency Command Hologram.
  15. JB0
    Using the EMH at this point is awkward regardless just because Robert Picardo has aged and The Doctor shouldn't have.
  16. JB0
    Yes! I've wanted to see that plot thread picked up at some point. But I kinda don't think I want current Trek writers to do it, so I hope it's the original EMH.
  17. JB0
    Yeah... that's a lot of money for an Enterprise that's just too big for me. I want it so much, though...
  18. JB0
    I suspect the divergence might be intentional to make him look more like a "normal" american firetruck, similar to how Skids was usually drawn as a minivan in media despite the toy being kind of the opposite. Two wheels up front and one in the back just looks WRONG, like the bottom of the firetruck is backwards.
  19. JB0
    I'd get a flash cart and a CD-R spindle personally.
  20. JB0
    Don't buy repros. No point paying for pirated software.
  21. JB0
    SegaCD doesn't need any special cables. There's an audio cable if you have a Genesis 1 and want stereo sound, but it is a standard part with a headphone connector at each end.
  22. JB0
    Heck yeah. I am down for a complete set.
  23. JB0
    THAT'S why they spent the money to give him blue "pants"! Thanks! I think Hasbro's missed an opportunity here. Laser Optimus in black with gold trim, a G1-style trailer in black with gold trim, a chess piece where the trailer's autobot logo goes... We need the truck too! But I'm down for this.
  24. JB0
    Yeah, I'm curious what was going on in Tamtax and irem at the time.
  25. JB0
    Intro cutscene wasn't complete yet. The US version actually came out first, and the stage changes were made after its release. We essentially got a paid beta.
