    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.

    That is a lot of Voltrons. I feel bad for whatever robeast provoked this.

    Given it is Star Wars, I don't know why they made Phasma turn them off instead of just shooting the controls.

    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.

    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.

    You need to get a black Spiderman so you can tribute the Marvel series encounter too.

    Well, Voltron was much bigger than the originals. Also, a lot of the Robotech hate was directly borne of Harmony Gold's anti-Macross statements and maneuvers. Declare war on the fanbase and they turn against you. I think the japanese market can be succinctly summarized as "bombed horribly". And in America, Lion Voltron was MUCH more popular than Vehicle Voltron, to the extent that World Event Productions abandoned plans to adapt Albegas into a Voltron in favor of commissioning an extra twenty episodes of Lion Voltron from Toei that are not part of Golion. ... But Vehicle Voltron is still best Voltron. A robot made out of lions? Ridiculous nonsense! They don't even LOOK like lions!
  21. JB0
    I tell ya, that was my one complaint with Lion Voltron, there wasn't a "form blazing sword" energy piece in the box.

    Yes, actually. "After several upgrades by Deep Space 9 Operations Chief Miles O'Brien, the ship was deemed worthy of use and more ships of the class were constructed. (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "Call to Arms"; VOY: "Message in a Bottle") " Aapparently O'Brien was COMPLETELY wasted on Ent-D's transporter and Deep Space 9. He's better than all Starfleet's best shipwrights put together. (All credit to Memory Alpha)

    I am so glad we're talking about the Treadspeeder now. Because it is all KINDS of dumb.
  24. JB0
    Yes. I laughed during Into Darkness, because what else are you supposed to do when Spock is Shatner-ing it up and shouting "KAHHHHHHHHHHN!" at the top of his lungs? A Spock that doesn't even LIKE Kirk, at that.

    I've not used Index nor Rift S, but I'm glad to see more people getting into VR. I've got an original Rift, and access to a Quest, and think VR is super-awesome and everyone needs it.
