Also the intake panels on the back rotate up onto the back sealing up the cavity. Chris Thank you again for pointing out the missing section! I also reshot the last two clips to get those intake side walls higher up in the back. Should be good now Quote
Guyffon Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Just a quick question, are you supposed to bring the knees to a lower position in diver mode? Quote

I've been away for some time. @captain america re-released most of his Crab collection. MEPTOYS release is delayed do to manufacturer being shut down due to COVID, so no word on when those will get released. Quote

Also, all words are made up. Quote
magicsp00n Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 2 hours ago, jenius said: Is Legioss a Japanese word or a made-up word? 'Cause if it's made up, I'm not budging. Hah! I don't like to get too pedantic when it comes to cartoons, but the Japanese katakana characters do make it clear that Legioss is intendended to be pronounced with a hard "G" -> レギオス (le-gi-o-su). A soft "G" would be レジオス. (le-ji-o-su) That's in Japanese. For English speakers, it's pronounced "alf-ah". Quote
jenius Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 It's true, I suppose. But you wouldn't tell a Spanish speaker they're saying "television" wrong because they don't pronounce it the same way as an English speaker. Quote
Shawn Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Thank you for the video! I wonder why is the hip section need to be so complex? I get it...to put in optimal position, but man. I just realized we need a tool. Know how iFixit has the plastic spudgers to separate phone screens from the back cases and whatnot? We need a plastic thimble set with a variety of little tabs at the end to slip on your finger tips to get access to all the little crevices and tab. Comes in a 5 pack, made of material that won't scratch your toys. We can even sell custom sets (or finger plugins on the finger base) for various toys if they need special sizes/angles. Patent Pending. Quote

derex3592 Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 My AutoArt Bugatti Veyron came with a little rounded on one end tiny metal tip on the other end little smudger thing for opening the doors on the car. It was PERFECT for helping flip out landing gear doors, tiny flaps, doors etc on Valks, I don't know what I did with it though! Quote
jenius Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I'm sticking to the 'television' analogy here. In Japanese it may very well be "leggyohs" but that has almost zero bearing on how English speakers would pronounce it. That's like saying it needs to be pronounced "TLEAD" because... that EVER would happen in English. Real life example: "Tornado" fighter plane. I bet the Brits don't pronounce it the same as the Italians or Spaniards. That doesn't make the Italians or Spaniards wrong... it means they're speaking a different language.

Based on the "Legioss" romanization, you mean? If you want to apply English phonetic rules, then I agree with your pronunciation... but you're deliberately mispronouncing the name, just because of the spelling. 25 minutes ago, jenius said: That's like saying it needs to be pronounced "TLEAD" because... that EVER would happen in English. Wait... you're deliberately mispronouncing this name despite the spelling? Now you're contradicting yourself. The only way to be consistent is to follow Japanese pronunciation (or just use the Robotech nomenclature). It's foolish to try and pronounce "Fuke Eroze" as it would be read in English, simply because of the romanization; we know better, because it's not an English name. Similarly, the Brough Superior is an English motorcycle, and the Japanese bastardization "blowsperior" is wrong. We know better, because it's an English name. Now there's some wiggle room there, based on impoverished Japanese phonetic pronunciation: I consider "Invid" and "Inbit" to be equally accurate transliterations, and there's no significant difference between "Brough" and "blow" in Japanese, just as "Stig" and "stick" would sound the same. However, we know Stig is a common Scandinavian name, whereas a stick is merely an object... just as we know Raymond is commonly shortened to Ray, and that "Ley" is another obvious misspelling. These mistakes are due to Japanese ignorance and apathy, and we know better. 4 minutes ago, vladykins said: Well, TBQH, they spend most of the time sounding like they say reg-ee-os, so maybe that's not the best example for how to pronounce it here? Another excellent point! If Japanese marketing had decided to spell it "Reggaeos" instead of "Legioss," we wouldn't even be having this conversation. There are so many blatant errors in romanization, it's pointless to insist on English phonetic readings. We have to apply a consistent standard of some kind... and shouldn't it be based on the show itself? My intention was merely to provide @jenius with the constructive criticism he'd asked for. I respect his choice to pronounce it however he likes... but he knows it's wrong. Quote

If I were speaking Japanese and used my pronunciation, I would be CLEARLY wrong. However, I'm speaking English. Again, Television, Tornado... there are so many of these.... not sure what the problem is. Saying "Oh you can't trust the Romanization" seems like a cop out... that's what would be painted on the plane, that's what people would read in their language. Don't mean to sound ungrateful for the feedback on the video. Just seemed a good point for this conversation because I've gotten some comments on it before. Someone even told me the proper English pronunciation was "Lee juss" which blew my mind. Quote
