    Studio Series Ejector when?!

    Yeah, I was phrasing it flippantly, but it was a genuinely interesting mess of a thing.

    Hopefully it won't move to struggling with bad translations on officially-sanctioned polycarbonate.

    It probably isn't. But I was speaking purely about the captioned zentradi scenes. Like TMBounty_Hunter said, the problems they have originated from the original optical compositing. They're inherent to the original production, and can't be "fixed" without leaving the source behind and (at best) reshooting the scene.

    I agree, but some of the Powermaster Prime/Ginrai toy features wound up being carried into the cartoon as well, and I think wheels hanging off the toes is one of those things that's actually anime-accurate(as is Ginrai wearing the whole front of the truck on his back).

    Enough of this, Titan! Bring back the epic saga of Sad Dana!

    Honestly, he looks pretty G1 to me. Monochrome enough to be unstickered G1, but still G1.

    So THAT'S why! Thanks, I had wondered about that for a long time.

    I mean, remastering isn't reshooting. They're stuck using the original footage, warts and all. I'd personally argue "exactly as it was in theaters" is a reasonable target most of the time, and that editing to eliminate imperfections that have always existed is the first step towards the dark side of Special Edition reworks.

    Peg's back, baby!

    My understanding is chromed plastic breaks easier, and has a tendency to leave sharp edges when it does. Hasbro doesn't want broken toys drawing blood. Buncha babies, I swear. Scars build character! (My preferred dinobot representation is Gigapower's chromed releases, but they're in a very different price class than pretty much anything Hasbro makes, and I never could justify a full set.)

    Neither. There's not a single drop of chrome or smoked plastic to be seen. 0/10, garbage dinobots.

    "16 years later..."

    Party capital of the universe.

    Ayup. No one knows for sure who that license wound up with in the end, or what the exact terms were. Most importantly, no one knows if it has an expiration date in it or not, since a limited license term would render everything else moot.

    I'm hoping that Super Ginrai in truck mode is mistransformed. Because even by the standards of Powermaster Prime(the original toy sets a fairly low bar to clear), that's dire. I'm totally shocked if that's the best a "masterpiece" can do with those arms, but the hollow thighs sure imply that MPG continues to set the target low and then miss it anyways.

    To be more precise in my statement: International distribution rights for the film are what's been lost in the shuffle. Not any japanese rights(clearly controlled by Big West), and not international merchandise rights(clearly sublicensed to HG from Tatsunoko).

    Harmony Gold is actually one of the few places we're sure the DYRL distribution license ISN'T The DYRL problem, as I understand it, is that it a whole bunch of bankruptcies and mergers happened after it was licensed. We know it WAS licensed, but no one's sure where the license wound up in the end or how long it was good for. There's a few companies that think they might have it, and everyone's waiting for someone else to make a move.

    My understanding, as someone who has none, is that you are totally correct. I guess we'll find out, I ordered a Nineball.

    Glad Bandai is keeping with Kotobukiya's "ACs are highly-customizable" design ethos. I still think it is funny that Kotobukiya is reissuing their old AC1-5 kits at the same time Bandai's putting out new AC6 kits.

    I suspect they either didn't know Animeigo would do an extensive remaster, or they were just too incompetent to include "transfer the remastered audio and video to us at the same time you deliver all unsold stock for us to repackage when we cut you out"

    Man. If I could buy JUST Autobot Bullseye, I totally would. But the Optimus and trailer are a remarkably barren deco. Though Prime throwing the Target balls for Robullseye is some adorable boxart.

    Warner be like: Can't lose at the Oscars if you cancel all your films before they release!
  24. JB0
    Otaku Terminator is a lot more relatable than the regular one.

    Two thoughts: 1. They probably want to avoid using "seekers" on anything other than Starscream and his repaints, given how the word has become very closely associated with that concept. 2. Doesn't Atari(or current skinwearer thereof) have an active trademark for Star Raiders?
