  1. Difference between the men and the boys... Actually, having been doing a little side project recently, I've come to find the trailer more important than I used to. I was comparing Prime toys from three different characters(OG, Powermaster, and Cybertron), and realized that aside from "red truck" and "radiator for abs", they also all shared "trailer turns into a battle station."
  2. I'm reasonably sure that's not true, if only because I've seen monster truck commercials with a transforming truck, and it was a lot more than two feet tall. But that is a pretty darn big Prime.
  3. That's the VD-1 Ajax. (Variable Detergent, obviously)
  4. To be clear, I was making fun. Go figure that's an accepted spelling.
  5. Wait, Hayate and Mirage got good at some point? ... Wait, Mirage is actually DOING something? CLEARLY things changed wildly after I dropped Delta.
  6. Gasp! The Gelgoog and the AJAX share a head! Gundam ripped off Southern Cross!
  7. I've heard of that one! I think it is some sort of pirate bootleg dub?
  8. "The single best-selling character in the history of the Chogokin series " Well, that explains the availability and aftermarket pricing issues. Turns out he's a mighty robot loved by good, feared by evil, and coveted by toy collectors.
  9. As long as you don't tell me WHAT context, because I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.
  10. We're calling them missile hoses.
  11. Honestly, I'm surprised the refund happened. A Kickstarter story with a happy ending is rare.
  12. The SDF-3 is their Megaroad-1, after all. People hate to accept that a story has come to an actual conclusion.
  13. Here's what I don't understand. Why, in the infinite multitude of things to rip off, would you choose something as distinctive(and weird) as giant blue star-hopping space tardigrades? You simply can't argue independent evolution with that.
  14. Like XPanders, but with more play potential.
  15. Either they are buying it to laugh at the awful, or no one's buying and they keep making them as part of some sort of tax scam or money-laundering scheme. I don't see any other options.
  16. This is the limited-edition movie colors.
  17. I love you, you love me, let's conquer the galaxy.
  18. Agreed wholeheartedly.
  19. Yeah, it is some neat package design.
  20. "We've ripped off everything else already, so what can we crib from Terminator?"
  21. Okay, the writer thing... it isn't like they have a completely inept writing team, despite all evidence to the contrary. Which makes me wonder... Is Simon Furman actually working on this, or are they just trying to blackmail him by attaching his name to their drek? That said... HG, fire everyone you have currently and put Podtastic in sole creative charge of the Robotech franchise. He has a vision and a path to get there, which is more than we can say for whoever is at the helm currently.
  22. So true. It seemed like for a while the ACTUAL Voltron lions were flying off the shelves, and the ones that didn't activate interlocks and form feet and legs just sat there taking up space. Because let's be honest, only a chump wants five robot lions that DON'T form a mighty robot loved by good and feared by evil.
  23. I think you typoed there. Surely at this point there's only one.
  24. Oh, totally. He shows Kirk the card in the Director's Cut. It's a very lovely card, with gold filigree and a sound box that plays the Gorn Hegemony Anthem("Drink the Mammal's Blood") when you open it. VERY convincing piece of forged evidence.
  25. C'mon, Bandai.... if you can do that, you can do an SOC Dairugger XV, right? WE WANT VEHICLE VOLTRON. ... For certain small values of "we".
