    Only on graph paper and 2d plotting in solidworks today. (Maybe on Sat or Sun will have basic part of 3d model to post), Design will be based on YF 19, tweak a bit of the Battroid leg shape, Fighter swan neck curve, vertical stabilizer storage and etc.

    I think that’s the one. Even has Roy & Hikaru squirrelled away.

    I wish this band got more attention: I caught a live performance of theirs years ago and they sounded good. Like a dark, 80s synthwave kinda vibe.

    That must have sucked really bad. Right up there with getting a cheap, sucky toy instead of the Optimus Prime you wanted . Good thing we have these toys now instead of having to go to therapy .

    Hail Satan 🤘 I haven’t really seen much actual corn at the state fair, lots of things with corn bread, tortillas and syrup, but not much resembling healthy foods. Lots of deep fried things that vary from Rattlesnake to just a stick of butter and pretty much anything else that can be thrown in some grease, but not much recognizable corn

    Some of these blumhouse movies actually end up better than I expected, I’ll probably wait till streaming though

    Already seen spot with a shotgun. I still think the humanoid design is more of a gimmick. If the robots ever really wanted to take over, they’d probably just use wheels or tracks and flying drones.

    Maybe Darth Marenghi. He could tell everyone about his dark place. Either that or Darth Gideon. Somehow he came back again

    The animation was done by several studios: Nelson Shin founder of AKOM Production, Ltd handled many of the 30 episodes of season 3 which was responsible for alot of animation errors. Toei handled about 14 episodes and were higher quality, a few were handled by other subcontractors. one subcontractor produced the best animated season 3 episode: i watched transformers everyday afterschool but was too young to go see the movie so when season 3 started, i didn't know what happened. But I saw these promos before the movie (combined and edited:) and wanted to watch the movie so bad but was too young to go and no one would take me. honestly, this is the best autobot city then never saw it in the movie when i got older. Unicron's opening scene, his digestive veins are more aggressive in this trailer that was dumbed down in the movie.

    Because nothing says 'Murica like Walmart, that patriotic Airazor repaint will be a Walmart exclusive. Same goes for soccer ball Prime... er, Breakaway.
  19. Swann
    Jayne Mansfield's Car is another good film to watch
  20. Cheese3
    Finished!
  21. Swann
    Don't be surprise to see a CGI Han and Leia. Or even Snoke. Would love to know who is going to be the big Sith baddie in it.

    ? Beaty for your booty but which one? is she Classy, or not?

    That is a historically poignant observation. For nigh everything that man has invented, if it could be weaponized, it was or has been. It's not for nothing that we regard a great deal of science fiction as prescient warnings- it oft speaks more about the mind of man than the technologies involved.
  24. TangledThorns
    Yeah, same. I didn't know robots having been progressing so quickly. Won't be long before they ship them with rifles and other weapons.
  25. M'Kyuun
    Both impressive and just a little unsettling. Imagine those things connected to an advanced AI. At that point, you're not far from a Terminator-like potential. I do have to wonder if the robots are acting under programming, or if they're being motion controlled by haptics or some other remote technology.

    If I recall, that model can be seen in the other model thread showing off cool builds...its the one where the SDF-1 actually rises up in flight yeah this one right?

    For some reason unknown to me, neither Robotech nor Voltron played on any of our stations. Granted, this was the 80s, channels were quite limited, and the channels you got depended on the cable company you bought your cable subscription through. I know my friend got channels we didn't, as that was how I was able to see Galaxy Rangers clearly and in color. I had a small B&W tv in my room, as I recall, and I had to meticulously arrange my 'rabbit ears' just to get a grainy staticky signal to watch it. Needless to say, not all cable packages were equal, not then, certainly not now. My wife watched Voltron, and she grew up about an hour north of me, so again, cable varied. While I watched a few eps of RT when I was stationed in FL in the early to mid 90s, I caught it midstream and never got into it. I ended up renting it from the Shoppette at Mildenhall, England in the early 00s to assail both boredom and morbid curiosity, as by that point, I'd already become a die-hard Macross fan via Macross Plus in the 90s, fully aware of Harmony Gold's shady shenanigans and editing to the original SDF:M for the RT series. At that point, I believe I had yet to see the original SDF:M, so I got through the entirety of that part of RT and enjoyed it for what it was. Once I moved on to the Southern Cross portion, it completely lost me, as the blocky transforming conveyances seemed like such a step backwards from the gorgeous VF-1 that I immediately lost interest and never finished it. Moreover, I never moved into RT's Mospeada portion. I've since watched the original Mospeada and enjoyed it. I also eventually bought ADV's dubbed version of SDF:M, with Mari Iijima reprising the role of Minmay, and I enjoyed seeing the OG series as intended by its creators, English dub notwithstanding. Circumstances being what they were, had I seen RT as a kid, I very likely would have become a fast fan of it, of the SDF:M portion, anyway. having now seen both versions, I'm glad I own the original take; I don't own RT at all and never will. I continue to hope for HG's demise and the freeing of Macross in its entirety. I still have memories of seeing Jetfire both on shelves at the store and once at a neighbor's. house. They were rough kids and chances are their Jetfire didn't survive long intact. He was, however, still in one piece and functional when I got to see him, and yeah, he was f##king glorious. Alas, I never had him as a kid. I did, however, find a well-preserved copy, still with his box, insert, accessories, at a used toy shop in Pittsburgh back in the early 00s. Still have him tucked away in storage. I also bought a brand new 1/55 VF-1, "J" series I believe, which has also been tucked away. So, I've a couple of the old "Chunky Monkey" valks. Cool old toys. I definitely hope Takara will do a Missing Link version of Jetfire, although they may have to make some sort of deal with Bandai to do so. And, of course, b/c of HG, no US e-tailers will be able to sell it. Grrrr! As to the toon, the first season is my go-to. It's the only season I own or have seen in its entirety and it pretty much informs my love and good feelings towards the Sunbow cartoon. Second season drifted too far from the more focused and mature overarching narrative of the first season, added silly characters, and just became so frivolous that I lost interest. I didn't get to see the Movie in the theatre, so it was probably a year or so after that I saw it at a friend's house on VHS. I remember not being too impressed with a lot of the silliness in the film (nothing's changed in that regard), nor how easily so many beloved characters were so easily dispatched. I continue to cling to my first season characters as the core of my G1 fandom, with a smattering of S2, 3 and Movie characters thrown in for good measure. Sometimes a cool design stands on its own merits regardless of lore or characterization, and for me, it has always been about the robots, first and foremost, although many of those S1 characters remain near and dear.
