kazeofwinds Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I was watching the old transformers movie earlier tonight and noticed this. Is it just me, or does the girl in the junkbot's tv look suspiscously(bah I cant spell) like minmay? Edited March 7, 2006 by kazeofwinds Quote
fansubs2000 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I always assumed that clip was a nod to Macross from the Transformers people. Quote
memnon Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Doesn't look like min may to me. 377624[/snapback] I'm inclined to agree. Quote
myk Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 It's probably an homage to Minmay, as opposed to actually having her in the film... Quote
wolfx Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 So any anime/cartoon chick on stage with disco lights is a homage to min may? Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 So any anime/cartoon chick on stage with disco lights is a homage to min may? 378029[/snapback] Yeah just like every cute Japanese pop singer is doing a homage to Mari. Quote

If they had actually put Minmay in the cartoon then HG would probably own the Transformers too now, and then they would be unstopable and take over the galaxy MU Huhuhuhuhuhuhu !!!! Well maybe not.

myk Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 So any anime/cartoon chick on stage with disco lights is a homage to min may? 378029[/snapback] Why not? And other anime works should be so respectful. Anime might have a different face in the world today without seminal works like Macross... Quote

memnon Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 *waves hand* This is not the Minmei you are looking for. Quote

Skull Leader Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I see a woman with disco lights. I really don't see any connection with Minmay, but draw from it what you will, I suppose Quote
Sdf-1 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 It's just impossible to know what were they thinking when they made that. It can be a homage to Macross, or not. I don't see any evidence in either way. Not that this would be so important thing. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 If it was in any other movie, that alone wouldn't be an homage. But in a movie about ROBOTS THAT TRANSFORM INTO PLANES, I say it's an homage. Quote

bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Its not Minmay, but its fun to think that it could be... By the way, I love Transformers: the movie. It was pretty damn cool listening to the chime of disgruntled adults groan at the 2 swear words and the death of all the iconic heroes. Anyone else remember seeing it in the theater? Man, I feel old all of a sudden. SNAP! Quote

Despite the emotional rollercoaster to my young mind, to this day I still think that movie was the finest moment in TF history. Quote

Except i watched it on TV. I was like...wtf, everything was dying. How traumatic! "Till all....are one....." *dramatic music....Prime turns black* *Spike (or was it Daniel?) cries* *I cry* Edited March 15, 2006 by wolfx Quote
Zinjo Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) It probably is a nod to the Macross franchise. It is considered a flattering act to include a reference to another show in your anime. The Dirty Pair did it often with Star Trek references, which prompted Roddenberry to respond in kind in the episode "Icarus Factor" with the Riker's playing some sort of game on the holodeck. The Japanese characters shown are the Kanji names of the main characters from the original Dirty Pair, Kei and Yuri as well as a reference to . http://www.lgpnet.com/amg/startrekanime.htm Edited March 15, 2006 by Zinjo Quote

I remember one mother had to take her kid out as he cried so much. Lots of kids cried. I got to admit I did a few tears too. My friends and I were totally shocked when he died. We were still getting over the death of Ironhide and his brother Rachet and everyone else in the shuttle. Still kinda brings a tear to my eyes now. Back then my friends and I had all been introduced to Transformers Gobots and Robotech/Macross all at the same time (like most kids in the U.K) so transforming Mecha was huge in the U.K and to kill of so many key Heros was a brave move.

I loved it! The music was great and yes I teared up when Prime died. I was happy as hell when i heard "sh_t" in a cartoon movie! It blew me away at the time cause I tottally didn't expect it. That movie rocked back then and it still does today. It was way ahead of it's time, just like DYRL. As for paying tribute to other anime shows within a show.... What about our favorite tv series Macross? Anyone remember when Hikaru & Max were at the arcade and were playing a Lupin III video game? LOL, cool! Quote
