    I'd say zero, but... that's what I said about Dairugger/Voltron I, so we can see how reliable I am. ... Honestly, I'm wondering if Bandai's just suddenly realized there's an actual market for Soul of Chogokin overseas. I mean, the release chain of the Megazord and Voltron and the Dragonzord and now Vehicle Voltron... it just looks like they're actively targeting the western market suddenly instead of just trying to figure out how they keep selling so many more toys of Mazinger and Raideen and Voltes V than they thought Japan wanted.

    If we're actually going to do this... I note that the mechanoids in Gaogaigar are LITERALLY powered by hot-blooded passion. Soldato J will just get excited enough that he can take the damage without falling The heroes can ALWAYS take the damage in super robot shows. Also, the writers will obviously make the Megaroad crew team up with J and the Gutsy Galaxy Guard to fight the REAL enemies. So neither side can win in a fight even if they DO make it to the same dimension.

    Nope. They can't fight because they're in diffrent universes.

    I loved Vehicle Voltron too. I've only got the chest-jet and car feet left. Most of the rest got chucked some time after the knee clips broke off.

    I gather it was similar to the PSP problem. Publishers were told they had to release a Vita game for every so many home games. A port was easier than a new game.

    Haha, it's even labelled "Voltron I". I love it!

    I'd buy a KITTformer too!

    Vehicle Voltron?!?! Hell yeah I'm gettin' that!!!!

    That's just what they want you to think. The reason the F-22 and F-35 have been so long-delayed and over-budget is that they are actually an elaborate cover for a refurbished and modernized fleet of F-14s. It's a very convincing ruse, I grant, but there's a few tells if you're paying attention. I mean, no one would ACTUALLY put a fighter into operational service with non-functional weaponry... unless it was never really intended to be an actual fighter!

    Yeah, the Vita died a swift and painful death in the west. It lasted longer in Japan. I got one early on, because I saw some stuff I liked, and the cost-reduced version they were replacing it with was unappealing to me(replaced the OLED panel with an LCD, changed most of the metal to plastic). It wasn't my wisest expense ever. And yeah, virtually everything I have for it was either a port from something else or was ported to something else. That said, the Vita version of Muramasa is objectively better than the Wii version(the new translation isn't terrible like the Wii version's was, even if you don't buy the expansion packs with their new content). And it doesn't look like there's going to be a third release of Muramasa any time soon.

    Full Metal Panic springs to mind.

    That's both toy and toon-accurate, though. Well, except the three-fingered part. Cartoon Slag is a lot more potato-y than toy Slag, as they stacked a bunch of extra mass above his legs to make him look bigger. He's like a tricera-camel. And I know I'm in the minority, but I would love a higher-end version of Classics Grimlock.

    I think the potato problem is actually being done intentionally for toon accuracy. Which doesn't make it any less wrong. Slag's dino mode animation model is terrible even by the standards of the original cartoon animation models. I suspect it is for proportions. Back dinosaur legs should be longer than front dinosaur legs. Using the arms as dino legs requires either ill-proportioned arms or huge chunks of dino leg stashed away somewhere that serve no purpose in robot mode. ... Or you can go the Combiner Wars route and just give him bent front legs. One of my few complaints with that release, actually.

    I'd say that is completely missing the point of the franchise, and that the anime was much tamer than the books(which are basically porn with an exceptionally detailed plot). But that would require me admitting I know what you're talking about, and I still have a shred of pride.
  15. JB0
    Man, in spite of my blatant toy-supremacy attitudes towards the Dinobots in general and Slag in specific, that is a nice Slag in humanoid mode. ... The triceratops mode is a chrome potato, though. With an unangled frill at that.

    It is definitely Titans Chromedome. I also think it is a fan mockup rather than an actual product proposal for a couple of reasons. It is signed with a screen name instead of a legal name, it uses a prime armor variant for a weapon, robot mode has ankle pivots that Chromedome doesn't, and it is too awesome an idea to actually happen.

    Things you never thought you'd hear said about a Transformer.

    Based on the action-figure package covers, I'mma say no.

    The way Takara prices plastic robots these days, I'm not so sure.

    Headmasters vs the original Headmaster? What's the link about, anyways? An awesome youtube fan video?
  21. JB0
    It probably has to do with the time they raced a russian submarine.* Everyone knows radiation leaks are the key to unlocking super powers. *Just because I didn't watch most of the movies doesn't mean I didn't see the trailers.

    I got it for ten bucks, and... okay, it was still overpriced, but not so much so that I had regrets.

    I expected, in true shady chinese fashion, a 4GB card that only holds 256MB. (I have a flash drive like that. I bought it because it turns into a poorly-articulated Ravage with a blue decepticon logo. I threw it out when the leg snapped off. Possibly the worst legally-distinct converting robot toy.)
  24. JB0
    I think the worst part is that it is a pair of SD card holders. Too cheap to even include some ancient 1GB SD cards in the bag.

    The wider abs and thicker thighs of Fortress Maximus really do help a lot with the proportions. That version of Metroplex is gangly as heck. It is not a design that screams "I judo-flipped a tyrannosaurus the size of a city", if you know what I mean.
