    I’d almost get that predators could understand English or at least some earth languages. They’ve been recording and sometimes using those recordings to mimic their Prey even in the older movies. Not saying they understood those recordings then, but maybe down the line. I don’t really have an understanding of their home world society, since they haven’t given much info on it, and it seems to change somewhat every few years for even the slightest bit of info we have on them. Personally I think the less we know about them the better. Alien keeps making the mistake of giving us too much background information and it’s usually disappointing

    While I'm sure it will be made well HEAT2 is a sequel that movie goers never asked for. Hollywood is truly out of ideas...

    Yeah, that's the problem with having a limited breeding population with limited genetic diversity. You end up reinforcing recessive traits, some of which are potentially detrimental. Fortunately there were about a million surviving Humans after the war so the genetic diversity wasn't catastrophically low. The Zentradi ran into their own problems once they started reproducing naturally too. Like Klan Klang's "clumsy" genes that affect her usage of the miclone system. (Given that Master File indicates the New UN Gov't eventually solved the Zentradi "fighting instincts" problem with gene therapy, one has to wonder if they solved the problems from that initial extensive use of cloning Humans the same way. They could potentially wipe out all kinds of diseases and potentially-fatal conditions that way, as we're starting to do now in the real world with potential gene-editing cures for things like HIV and Down syndrome.) They compressed the range of heights for the Zentradi a bit in the movie version, yeah.

    Evolution Toy's VF-2SS is 1/60 scale, so it's about 50% larger than the Bandai Hi-Metal. I'm not a toy collector by any means, but my wholly subjective impression is that the Evolution Toy VF-2SS is lower-quality than the Hi-Metal R despite its larger size. It has some joint problems particularly around the hips and struggles to stay in fighter mode due to the tabs that hold the legs up being a poor fit. IMO the main advantage of the ET one is its larger size + the availability of the Fairy Platoon variant with decals to do the other three members of Sylvie's unit. Neither toy is truly screen-accurate though. They both made the same design compromises to have the removable Super Armed Pack so the pack itself is a lot bulkier and sits a lot higher on the airframe. Neither one has the correct number of Squire bits either. The VF-2SS normally has five, but the Hi-Metal R has four and the Evolution Toy only two.

    If this truly becomes a reality, Michael Mann will have no choice but to include a shoot-out scene just like the original in that "extra loud" blanks are used outdoors, around buildings for that blistering echo effect and causes the movie theaters & your eardrums to rumble... otherwise, don't bother. While HEAT is 30 years old now (where did the time go?), it's possibly one of the most acclaimed crime-dramas ever made and that shootout scene in downtown LA is legendary.

    Jared Leto is a very good actor but he seems cursed in the sci-fi and action films and should just go back to dramatic roles.
  12. mikeszekely
    I've been saying that my expectations for the film have been in the basement since they announced Jared Leto's casting. I still want to see it in 3D because I happened to catch a preview in 3D, and the Recognizer flying over the city looked amazing in 3D.
  13. Seto Kaiba
    Ouch. Yeah, it is about that bad isn't it, if we've gone from "inscrutable alien spree killer hunting the most elite soldiers in the world" to "alien hunter intern tries to prove himself and land a full-time position". Makes you wonder how they can even understand each other, since the Predators don't exactly speak English and have tried to avoid contact with Humanity except on the hunt.

    Mechanical Marie Multiple kidnapping and assassination attempts orchestrated by his own relatives have turned the Zebes corporation's young heir Arthur Louis Zetes into an extreme misanthrope. For his own safety and convenience, he commissioned the Zetes corporation to create a robot maid to tend to his home and personal needs. Faced with his impossible sci-fi ask from the company's next CEO, the Zetes corporation hires the legendarily stoic martial arts champion Marie "the Robot" Evans for her combat skills and unshakeable poker face and asks her to play the role of said robotic maid and bodyguard in exchange for clearing her parents debts and paying for her education. For the sake of her future and family, Marie has to keep her charge safe and convinced that she is the robot the Zetes corporation claims she is. So begins an unlikely romance comedy as Arthur quickly develops a bodyguard crush on what he firmly believes is an inanimate object and Marie struggles to cope with Arthur's very unpleasant and fratricidal family. It's fun in an odd couple-y sort of way. A bit like Spy x Family, if Yor were Loid's bodyguard.

    Reviews are coming in. I'll still go see it but my expectations are lowered now. https://www.ign.com/articles/tron-ares-review

    Hopefully, I'm in one of those places no one ever talks about because the colony mission was quiet and uneventful, and found a peaceful planet far from any bullcrap.

    Zentradi don't have to worry about hereditary diseases, since there's no inheritance. Protoculture thought of everything! ... Well, everything except "how to dispose of an evil time machine", "how to dispose of a galaxy-wide brain asploder", "how to stop your clone army from waging tntal war across your empire", and "how to keep interdimensional space vampires from destroying your civilization". Minor details, though. They thought of all the important things!

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    ArchieNov replied to GGemini's topic in Toys

    It's kinda weird how the proportions look perfectly fine to me with the 171, but it looks off with the 17. And it's not because I'm comparing it to the line art. Just looking at these 2 images side by side makes the 17 look awkward. Maybe it's because of the head design? Seeing a Frankenstein's monster head makes you expect that the rest of the body should be stocky?

    The woman represents no. 506 super sylph in the intelligence gathering, Special Air Service of the FAF. Code name MINX. her open and alluring posture represents her names meaning. The tarps unit attached to her, is a reminder that despite her alluring curves she is a deadly threat, ever vigilant and ever watching. Sealed with a kiss for luck or the kiss of death. If anyone would like this as a decal i'll put it up
  20. jammaker
    Okay don't be too harsh on my artwork. I know there is no official Super sylph MINX motivator on unit 506. But if there was and General Booker had a soft spot for this one as kind of the squad mascot. would he send over to System command and commission some art for the inside of the vertical stabilizers? it's a fan fiction what if. So this is what it means- Minx Share definition An alluring, cunning, or boldly flirtatious girl or young woman. Has unusual seductive powers such that she could commit acts that would otherwise be considered inappropriate, while still maintaining an air of class or poise.

    Makes sense. Disease won't rip through an entire unit, and can't be attacked by a custom-engineered bioweapon that targets a specific genetic sequence. On the other hand, it results in soldiers with diverse heights and builds, complicating supply of equipment. But the protoculture seemed to have solved supply lines with their typical excess. Which serves to be ironic as when humans started to clone themselves to bolster their numbers to avoid extinction, they had to stop because they came across the issue of hereditary children's diseases popping up 2 decades after. It seems like DYRL made the cloning process a bit more uniform, as the trio seem to be a lot closer in size then they were in the TV series, not mentioning how Exsedol and Britai doesn't have as noticeable of a height disparity as well.

    If @guyxxed can provide a .stl file of the head, I can print it for you in high-resolution photopolymer resin.

    Excellent take of that famous pose!!!

    It is along shot, does anyone here do or know who can do a 3D printing of the head of the Bandai DX VF-31A? I am trying to a custom mod of my VF-31J DX.

    Love Dunk & Egg, but I have to wonder how they're going to deal with Egg's actor aging over multiple seasons if they have a lot of downtime between seasons. If they aren't releasing a season every two years, he's going to age out of the role.
  27. SkullLeaderVF-X
    Hey Seto! First hi! It's been awhile, and second. Do you know how they compare to the Hi-Metal releases? Am tempted to buy the Silvie and Nex versions to complete my little Macross II bluray release shrine. The hi metal look nice, but am not sure as I have never bought one. Thanks again and good to see you!😁
  28. VF-Zero
    Ordered my first HI-Metal R Figure. I have always wanted a Red Shoulder Scopedog and finally pulled the trigger. I also ordered a Chirio Cuvie 1/6 Statue. Both of them are on the way.
  29. Big s
    The og version was probably the last of the old school figures I ever owned
