    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzion Some more information on the "Fuzion" system. The Wikipedia article at least suggests the "VOTOMS" RPG was published.
  2. F-ZeroOne
    Wasn't "Fuzion" the system used by R. Talsorian games, a derivative of the system they used in some editions of "MekTon" and "Cyberpunk"? I think they used it for the "Bubblegum Crisis" RPG...

    Okay, I hadn't really thought about it as the White Base and Gundam creating opportunities for him in the standard timeline.
  4. F-ZeroOne
    I'm curious to know about

    A thought has occurred - if Char has disappeared, then what happened to Lalah? Its arguable that her meeting Amuro kicked off a lot of things that were important to the Universal Century timeline beyond just Zeon winning the "One Year War"...

    I was trying to avoid a spoiler but yes... quite how they got it out of Brights hands without him slapping the boarding force out of existence is going to have to be one of many questions they'll need to answer... 😄(I am aware that that there was more than one of the same class of ship... )

    I'm still undecided on the mecha designs too, but am willing to give them a chance - I remember the Flat from "Turn-A Gundam" which makes a lot more sense once you actually see it in action - but enjoyed the first episode and would like to see where its going. Even if my brain kind of exploded in the first thirty seconds after a certain very famous... er... object appeared on screen...

    Just going to stick my hand up and say, yes, I also remember "Automan"!

    https://gizmodo.com/doctor-whos-eurovision-episode-may-not-make-it-to-uk-tv-because-of-eurovision-2000584462 Doctor Whos oldest enemy returns, and its not the Daleks, its... the foot-the-ball. [1] [1] Look, if you didn't grow up as an awkward science-fiction fan in 80s Britain, this pain may take some explaining. There was no streaming back then (there was barely any recordable media format even), so if you wanted to watch Peter Davison nearly get melted in a cave by the agents of the Cybermen you had to be in front of the TV at the broadcast time. But Saturday afternoon TV in the UK then was almost entirely given over to sport. And "Doctor Who" usually came after in the schedule. Assuming that any particular sporting event finished on time, which - and especially in the case of football and its inability to stop at the end of the allocated 90 minutes due to the fiendish concepts of "Injury" and "Extra Time" - it seemingly never did. So you had to sit in front of the telly, watching every minute of on pitch action drag painfully by, hoping never to hear the dread sentence "...and for those of you waiting for this weeks episode of 'Doctor Who', this will now be shown at a later date.". It still hurts.

    Yes, thats kind of what I thought. Though I remember reading Macek received death threats back in the day, which suggests that some of the vitriol was about the adaptation itself; I don't know the exact time frame but it may have been while the series was broadcast but before the legal implications became apparent. It does suggest that the fandom had matured a bit and had a greater awareness of the source material. (just to give an idea of how difficult it could be to obtain information in the pre-internet days, I laboured for many years under the impression that "Star Fleet", aka "X-Bomber" was a Gerry Anderson production - after all, who else made puppet-based SF shows? - and couldn't understand why it never appeared in biographies of his work. I didn't learn the truth until somewhat later. I didn't have a similarly interested peer group that I could discuss these things with at the time).

    I can't hate "Robotech", as it was one of the "gateway drugs" into anime for me, but it does feel like it served its purpose some time ago. I am curious, though - and I'm really trying not to retread old fights, its a genuine question - why it seems to attract the majority of the ire directed towards "Westernised" anime as opposed to things like "Battle of the Planets" or "Speed Racer"; the former in particular being messed around with to arguably an equal degree. My guesses would be the following 1) the legal situation surrounding it, which affected not just "Macross" but other franchises and 2) that the audience was a bit older (in the UK, at least, "Battle of the Planets" would have been seen as a childrens show) and a bit more aware of its origins and even some of the trouble it was causing rights wise.
  12. F-ZeroOne
    Some people call the current version another relaunch, so thats three...!
  13. F-ZeroOne
    You know your franchise has been a long runner when the relaunched version has a 20th anniversary!

    US Navy may be about to select its next-generation fighter: https://www.twz.com/air/navy-f-a-xx-stealth-fighter-selection-this-week-report The most important thing we need to know about this one: Does it go up to... three? 😉
  15. F-ZeroOne
    So is it just me or is there a hint in one scene there that a certain old foe is making an appearance this season?
