My weekly watch group is going back through Tenchi Muyo!'s OVA timeline, since most of our group hasn't seen OVA 4, OVA 5, or Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. We just finished OVA 2 last night, and having translated a bunch of Kajishima's doujins and infobooks about the setting it's extra-freaking weird watching it knowing how all the charactes are related and how many tie-ins there are to Dual!, Photon: the Idiot Adventures, and Spaceship Agga Ruter. The Summer '25 simulcast season really is just a steaming turd. So far, I've dropped: The Water Magician I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability New Saga (Dishonorable mention for being the most generic f***ing thing I've ever seen.) Welcome to the Outcast Restaurant Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer Lord of Mysteries Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse (Dishonorable mention for being a shameless f***ing ripoff of Re:Zero) Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter (The worst case of "sameface" this side of Gundam SEED and it feels like the creator belongs on a government watchlist over their prurient interest in tweens.) The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses Solo Camping for Two (I cannot imagine a worse attempt at a romance plot outside of a Hallmark movie.) Detectives These Days Are Crazy! (Because "comedy" is more than just making funny faces at the viewer several times an episode.) Hotel Inhumans Turkey! Time to Strike That's a new frigging record, by an enormous margin. Crunchyroll's simulcast season page is starting to feel like the front page of the Nintendo eShop. All shovelware all the time. The bar was already low thanks to the overabundance of isekai, but it seems like these studios are holding a ****ing limbo contest. I refuse to even start The Rising of the Shield Hero season 4 because I know it's set past the point where the light novel completely jumped the shark. Dandadan has gone from being fairly interesting to fairly dull as the cast continues to grow with more and more "quirky" characters being added. I'm kind of just showing up for Secrets of the Silent Witch, Ruri Rocks, and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex at this point.

Came here to ask when did it ever have a sword after seeing it on Taghobby moments ago. Thanks for clearing it.

Thanks

Yeesh! Hate being a perfectionist: spotted a couple of obvious spots I should have panel-lined. And then wound up doing a few billion paint and pen touch-ups too. Paint was still drying during a few of these close-up pics:

Remember that fever dream episode, where they all had swords to slay the dragon? Just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean POSE+ can't fleece you for a sword accessory! 😅

The idea was a slam dunk right from the first drug-induced pitch meeting....

Wow $30 for an acrylic stand… … 😞 I’ll probably just go for the patch.

Fake hydraulics to prop open the wings and undersides?

I couldn’t tell you. I was just surprised they threw in a viltron style sword.

I didn't pre-order one because I assumed it would become vaporware when they came to their senses... Now I'll wait for clearance sales just to grab one for anymoon.

I preordered one from gundamit. What are the six little spikes?

I guess it has a sword now

Some more WIP shots:

The repaired paint.

I don't recall Grimlock in Hearts of Steel? I do know Don Figueroa did a Grimlock tank design for a Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover set in the 1930s... HoS has John Henry in it, so while I don't recall a specific date it's likely set in the 1870s. The sequel, Infestation, is specifically set in 1888. That's still about 30 years before the Mark V, or really any tank. In addition to the cannon design that Hasbro used, Guidi did another design for Megatron that turned into a revolver.

I'm not really into HoS, but as most of the alts don't do much for me. However, I'd love to have Grimlock as a Mark V tank. If you're gonna give Grimlock a vehicle alt, that's about as good as any. Funny Guidi chose Grimlock and not the more fitting Warpath., but whatever. Too, odd that he chose to make Megatron a field cannon instead of a tank.

Tomahawk

That's really sad. Cancer is terrible. May she rest in peace.

And I want a 27 cause it just looks so weird, but you guys are scaring me off from it. Im just not hearing stuff aboout it that gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Yeah; that happened to my Leigoss transformable fighter, and ultimately led to its' demise :(.

I don't understand how anyone involved on it's initial concept right to the engineering in CAD didn't say "Hey, this whole thing is NOT a good idea. Lets write it off."

Running out of space? Or becoming more selective?

Doin great making those old kits look awesome

It didn't need the whole android with super stength and magic tech exploring it's own conscious. Only explaination is that the writer wanted to stamp his signature into the lore and that was the best he came up with, or, he plans to have a mary sue barehand showdown with the Xeno. Remove all that sticky fudge, and the concept of a ship carrying various lethal species and crashing on Earth is alone a solid enough concept to build on. Also, when in the alien lore will the protoganist be a male??? It's really screaming now that the alien is no longer the Xeno, but instead it's every slender paled skinned brunette.

I’ve been watching the "Activate your alt-mode" from afar (since I don’t have an Instagram account). Now that Shockwave has been determined as the character it would be funny if the further choices are water based alt mode and the mode is a steam powered, icon clad dreadnaught.
