    C'mon MEP, quit photographing that same flawed prototype and take the time to fix the sculpt. You're so close! Just take a second look at the line art, and tweak the proportions appropriately. The "cockpit/head" needs to sit lower and widen as it tapers back, and the cannons have to sit higher up: It's not like you had to make concessions for transformation or anything...

    Tony in the racing suit looks great. Tony suiting up in the Mark V looks half-assed.

    Playmates have done such a poor job with live-action properties for so long, a Cobra Kai toyline couldn't possibly succeed without shoehorning TMNT into it.

    You're misremembering again. Legioss are prominently featured in almost every episode! Technically, no. Being a Japanese proper noun, "Legioss" is uncountable, therefore there is no plural form. I have two Sentinel Legioss figures, with a third on the way.

    That robot mode image must be an unfinished render, then.

    This is what the Tatsunoko line art dictated for mecha scale:

    I have no particular affinity for Ben Skywalker (or any EU Star Wars content, for that matter), but I'm more than happy to erase Ben SOLO and the Sequel Trilogy from my own "head canon" regardless. I'm still surprised by how consistently good Disney's Star Wars TV output has been thus far (Bad Batch included), given how poorly most of their films turned out...

    I know nothing of Homecoming, but your description immediately suggested Sam Esmail's Mr. Robot... and I see he directed Homecoming's first season, so it was an apt description indeed. Thanks for the recommendation!

    There isn't any stuff left to find... and probably won't be until late September. Of course, I'd be pleased as punch to be proven wrong.

    It's certainly the most accurate of the two... although in robot mode, you could always remove all the shellforming planet bits and basically display both at the same time...!

    It seemed pretty much how it was described in this 2014 novel:

    Hire union voice actors, like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker (not soundalikes with no acting talent). Use original models for tertiary characters, rather than recycling the secondary cast ad nauseam. If the budget doesn't allow for #1 and #2, just reduce the episode count! Three good episodes is infinitely preferable to six lousy ones. Tell the voice director to decide if they're gonna imitate G1 or not; don't leave it up to each actor to choose. If you're gonna let the actor choose anyway, at least insist on a consistent performance... Pay your actors for each line they deliver, NOT for each minute it takes them to deliver it.

    That defines Hasbro so succinctly, it ought to be on all their corporate branding.

    I know exactly what you mean. It's all character merchandise to me, so if I don't know the character, I don't need the merchandise. Mind you, after the disappointments of Netflix's Siege and Earthrise, the Bayverse films, and Rescue Bots Academy, I wouldn't even be a Transformers fan if it weren't for IDW.

    Nice! Did you paint that one up yourself, Cap'?
  20. tekering
    No corners cut, no detail overlooked. That's our Cap'.

    While The Bad Batch was definitely not my favorite thing about the last season of The Clone Wars, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much more sophisticated the characterizations are in "Aftermath," the first episode of this new spin-off. There are real conflicts within the group, debates about duty and ethics, and loyalties are tested to their limits as the Republic becomes the Empire. It's also great to have regular voice actors return to roles such as Caleb "Kanan" Dume, Saw Garrera, and Admiral Tarkin, and we get to hear the great Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor again. Oh, and it was 71 minutes long!

    I actually put some time and effort into trying to correct the proportions, to make the SDF-1 look more like the animation model and less like the vintage toy... Forgive my blasphemous sacrilege.

    Oh, that's par for the course here. As you can see, we've all got our own agendas to push. @treatment is incapable of seeing past "Godzilla (1954) is the only film that matters," and I'm incapable of seeing past my own rage over how insultingly stupid Godzilla vs. Kong was. Of course, having tried to discuss Godzilla films rationally on kaiju-specific fan forums, I discovered quite the opposite there; whereas we're harsh critics nitpicking any perceived flaw, they didn't seem to have any critical faculties whatsoever.
  24. tekering
    I've tried to make exactly the same arguments before, so we're certainly on the same page there. Not at all, man. Like I said, you made some salient observations. I didn't hate your video. Godzilla vs. Kong, on the other hand...
  25. tekering
    It would certainly explain the awkward proportions and the foreshortened prow...! Excellent observation, Shawn.
