    Obviously, they refrained in Spock's case to ensure no one played favorites with the politically-connected half-vulcan.

    Mars Matrix really is under-appreciated. I get the impression it gets overshadowed by its big brother Gigawing. But there's no excuse for every person on Earth, and most of their dogs, to have played Ikaruga(which isn't even all that good*) and no one's even HEARD of Mars Matrix. *Yep. I went there.

    That is terrible and amazing at the same time. From an in-universe perspective, it makes sense. I mean, Mithril's basically a myth, and how would you get documentation of their elite custom mecha anyways? And there'd be wildly more documentation of the "real" version even if all else was equal. But from a real-world perspective... it isn't a screw-job, it's a screw-career.

    Heck yeah, Mars Matrix! I love that game. Edit: I forgot about the profanity filter

    We await your results!

    It has been a long time since I was a kid and Voltron was fresh, but I think it was just the more sci-fi-ish aesthetic. Giant robots fighting in space is way better than giant robots fighting in the wastelands that covered much of Arus. And space carriers are better than castles.

    Because that would be the smart thing to do.

    Are they three times faster than a normal VF-31, or is red paint required for that?
  11. JB0
    That does look pretty sweet. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

    So in honor of the current anime adaptation, I'm re-reading Kaguya etcetera etcetera. I was originally just spot-checking chapters to figure out how far the anime was going to run, but then I just started reading them all, and now I'm well past anything the anime can possibly reach and still going. Ooops? No regrets.

    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.
  18. JB0
    Haha, it's even labelled "Voltron I". I love it!
  19. JB0
    I'd buy a KITTformer too!
  20. JB0
    Vehicle Voltron?!?! Hell yeah I'm gettin' that!!!!
  21. JB0
    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.
  25. JB0
    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.
