    ^ The problem with being Prime's friend.

    They "End of the Circle"d her.

    You can never have too many robot dinosaurs. I really like the attempt at a realistic pteranodon.

    Or build a small army of Reflector clones!

    HOW?! Just... why won't he stay DEAD? "How many times do I have to kill you?!"

    Honestly, I'm surprised they don't do more Reflector Refraktor-type characters. I mean, surely Hasbro wants Transformers to have that sweet multi-sell army-building appeal that Star Wars Stormtroopers have. So why AREN'T there more legionnaire-type characters? Swarms of insecticons, Refrackers cloning themselves every time anyone turns around? Bust out a blue-and-white "Guardian" repaint of Omega Supreme and remind everyone how many of these roamed Cybertron in the before-times... maybe not on that last one. Army-building shouldn't be wallet-breaking. I mean, there's the inevitable "seeker" repaints, but... you still have to repaint them and manage to get them into stores past the endless wall of Chromias and Shockwaves currently plugging the shelves in my area. You can't sell multiples of each jet, because no one needs TWO Skywarps. But heck, I made a Reflector-homage team with the first Bayformers toy line. Grabbed one "Spy Shot 6" and two "Zoom Out 25" toys, set them up together, and... pay no attention to the fact that one's an autobot, please.

    I've wondered before if there was a heirarchy above Bodol. We know there's communication between fleets(Fleet of the Strongest Women), but not how much communication or if it is smoothed along by infrastructure or just more of a friendly "Howdy, war neighbor. What's life like in sector 5309 these days?" when their movements took them near enough to each other. It seems obvious at this point that if there is a further tier, Bodol didn't report Earth to them, and they haven't noticed that fleets are going dark in a big bubble spreading outwards from the sol system. ... Either that or they decided "Heck naw, we ain't gettin' anywhere near that crap after what happened to the LAST fleet! Just tell everyone to get out the way of the dang miclones before they all catch the culture and have to be put down. Set course for friggin' Andromeda, helmsman."

    But the size of the potoculture empire in Macross was almost the entire galaxy. Five million ships is a drop in the bucket.

    I'm actually surprised that the creators are willing to sign Robotech stuff(even if they do append corrections to the title and copyright alongside their signature).
  10. JB0
    Point conceded. I did get the impression that Optimus 2 was the beginning of a conscious effort to set a definitive MP scale, instead of the more traditional approach to scale(or lack thereof) within a line of Transformers.
  11. JB0
    Not sudden. I've never liked MP-36. He's a big mess of hundreds of panels, and the transformation is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too complex. That alone makes him awful in my book. And after all that work, he doesn't even make a good gun, which is just icing on the cake. A transformation that complex, at least if both modes are good you have a REASON for the complexity. But if one mode is terrible, you just have to ask what it gained. I don't really like Optimus 3's engineering, but I see where the payoff is and can understand why they went in the direction they did. Megatron 2 is just complex for the sake of being complex. I DID forget that the MPs all got smaller with Optimus 2, so "MP scale" excludes the first few MPs.

    Robotech comics: Not caring about your "copyrights" since 1985.
  13. JB0
    Aren't you forgetting something? MP Megatron first came out over a decade ago, though it might be a bit TOO original-inspired with those legs. Maybe in a few more years we'll have a third MP Megatron and we can forget that MP-36 ever happened, too. (And the sooner, the better.)
  14. JB0
    Awww... no Go-Bots Stacks action, then. What's even the point of removable exhausts if you can't use them as guns? Possibly.
  15. JB0
    Is there a way he can hold the smokestacks like guns? I'm assuming they missed that possibility. 'S a real shame that the molded details are so soft. He just looks kinda melty. (But still way better than Hybrid Convoy in truck mode. That design was always a completely irredeemable mess as a truck.)
  16. JB0
    (emphasis mine) Luckier than you realized.
  17. JB0
    Does this mean the FAST packs they tested in Macross Plus(including the cool forearm cannon on the -19) didn't make it to mass-production?
  18. JB0
    You are not the only one. I noticed it immediately.
  19. JB0
    Your toys should be very well-protected. If they survive the freezing process, that is.
  20. JB0
    I think he was teasing.
  21. JB0
    Naw, 's just Voltron: Third Dimension's Stealth Voltron.
  22. JB0
    The cartoon designs were based on the toys. Also, any anime mecha designer that would choose that transformation is actively making fun of something.
  23. JB0
    It really didn't help that PM Prime made zero attempt to do anything at all with the truck front, so he wore a windshield and radiator on both sides of humanoid mode.
  24. JB0
    Just a smidge. His belt-buckle star gets in the way. The price we pay to be Texas-fashionable.
  25. JB0
    Didn't we used to call that kind of transformation a "shell-former"? I miss the days when the different modes were expected to share parts.
