A.I. unmanned drone? Or like a super robot where the pilot in inside the head. Cue "...and I'll form the head!" Liking the colors but wish there was less white and more black.

I was able to pick up the new Hot Rod today and was so disappointed with it. Compared to the original one I have, this one has a couple of QC issues. The right leg doesn't close together tightly in robot mode and left shoulder is a floppy mess. I'm probably going to return it and hope for a new batch. After seeing the two together though, I think I like the color of the original one better even though the new one is more accurate.- 18217 replies

Yeah, I just started collecting Godzilla figures about year or two ago ever since -1.0 figures started coming out. I prefer the static figures like the Ichibansho stuff over the poseable ones like S.H. MonsterArts. I'm hoping to get my first X-Plus Godzilla figure this month.- 1096 replies

At least he’ll last then. All of my bendy toys eventually split open and/or got all floppy and lazy once the internal wire snapped. Nice grab!- 1096 replies

Yeah. I just ebayed a pair of 8GB crucial ballistic modules. I know this Ideacentre I found was a budget computer from five years ago, but it's still got a 1TB hard drive and it's relatively small. Could use it as a file server, a media center box, etc. -

This is why I’m hesitant to send an older system with DDR4 RAM to the junk pile. I might never use it again, but with prices as they are, I might need to cannibalise it for parts with the way things will be for another 1-2 years. -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
To be accurate, what's described there isn't just Earth's defenses. That's the combined forces of the Solar System Defense Perimeter that protects all of the inhabited planets of the Sol system. Fans often forget - because we are not often reminded - that there are a lot of other places in the Sol system that people live besides Earth's surface. Luna has multiple colonies and at least one military base on it. There are O'Neill cylinder space colonies, factory stations, and multiple factory satellites at the Earth-Moon Lagrange points. Mars has cities on its surface. There are "satellite city" constructs orbiting Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. There are bases and possibly colonies on the Jovian moons including at least seven on Europa (given that Isamu is assigned to Europa Base 7 at one point). There is at least one base in the asteroid belt. This massive fleet that Master File's describing protects all of that. One thing of note is that there are, at least according to official media, a bunch of variants of the Northamption-class and similar that we have simply not seen. Macross Chronicle mentions the Northampton-class having specialized variants intended for enhanced combat capability, reconnaissance, or early warning/picket duties. The same is likely true of its derivatives, like the NUNS stealth cruiser from Frontier. The aforementioned aegis destroyer is probably the early warning variant Northampton. We've only really had two or three classes of cruiser in-series so far, so odds are the guided missile cruiser is a variant of the 2050s-era stealth cruiser fitted with more missile launchers in place of its beam turrets. There's only really one known candidate for a NUNS-affiliated beam gunboat and that's the Zentradi one. Yeah, perhaps too much so given that it's never even mentioned in Project Super Nova. That's not the kind of thing that's easy to cover up. One important thing to note about the numbers published by/for the Russian and Chinese navies is that they tend to inflate the number of available ships by counting anything the government owns that floats as a Navy ship. Including ships like military-owned conventional motorboats, launches, landers, and ships that are not even technically operational but still kept on the fleet register for morale/propaganda reasons like Russia's infamous drydock queen and only aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov. Yeah, that's a bit large... official media usually says that the Guantanamo-class carries ~45 aircraft and and the Uraga-class ~75 aircraft. It's possible that these air wings are being split across multiple ships in the same taskforce, since some ships like the Northampton-class can carry up to a single platoon of Valkyries in normal operations (meaning just one squadron might be split across 5+ ships). It makes more sense when you consider that, under normal circumstances (at least based on 7 and Frontier) that carriers make up 1/3 or less of a typical fleet formation. The 37th Large-Scale Long-Distance Emigrant Fleet's military component amounted to 186 ships with 66 carriers of various grades and 120 escorts. The balance is arguably a little different from that in normal operation since the Battle-class, four Uraga-class, one Guantanamo-class, and one Northampton-class are tied up with emigrant ships of varying types, leaving the operational fleet with 60 carriers (16 Uraga-class and 44 Guantanamo-class) and 119 Northampton-class frigate escorts. -

TG Remix replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
In general I can see some more firepower from Earth's neck of the woods, considering both of their Macross 13 units and the Battle Astraea, they most likely have their own fleet of Macross-class ships, which as 7 and Frontier show, is strong enough to send away branch fleets or similar sized attacks as debated here.
