Dan Trachtenberg has stated that Predator: Badlands is intended as a far-future scenario, closer to the Alien: Resurrection setting than any of the other films in the franchise(s).

The continued popularity of that 40-year old toy perplexes me. Both Yamato and Bandai have produced more accurate toys, at more practical scales, and in more variations than the original Takatoku versions, yet the outdated and inferior molds get continuously reissued...? 🤷‍♂️ Yeah, I agree with @M'Kyuun about retro Transformers (and Star Wars) reissues, too. 🤨- 17799 replies

Lol. Or it's just propaganda to make us think they're flailing. I thought the same thing watching the Chinese soccer robots.

As a Geewunner who was less than impressed with these toys back when they were new, I'm always at a loss to understand their appeal when we now have vastly improved versions of them at virtually every scale. I guess nostalgia is a primary driver, but from my POV, I'd rather have a modern version with full articulation over the old 80s bricks. Except for the cassettes, which remain pretty cool, for the most part. I haven't been too impressed with the WFC Siege/Kingdom, Legacy, SS86 scaled versions, except, ironically, Eject, the best of the smaller scaled cassettes. I keep hoping Dr. Wu will eventually produce improved versions of all the main character cassettes, as Takara's takes have been less than lackluster. Well, SS86 Rumble/Frenzy was almost excellent except for the lack of elbows- how hard would it have been to split the arm and give one half a ball joint and the other a socket? So close to good, but not. SS86 Steeljaw looks like a Pomeranian, Ravage is severely compromised, the WFC Condors are ok except for the oddly shaped weapon packs, all three of the SS86 Soundwave cassettes look like steps backward in design. If you're a cassette fan like me, there's much to be desired with Has/Tak's modern takes.- 17799 replies

Science and Technology MEGA THREAD
M'Kyuun replied to Max Jenius's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, the thing is shaky from the very start and the techs are hovering very closely to it, so yes, it does appear that they were expecting failure more than success. Given the brutal and face-saving nature of the Soviet govt, I do feel concern for the folks who worked on this, as it's a very public embarrassment, and they likely will pay heavy penalties for it. And while we've seen the maturation of this technology from Japan, China, and US companies, it's ultimately not easy and they are likely working with small budgets, stolen hardware/software, minimal resources, and lots of unwelcome oversight and pressure. That said, it was pretty funny on first viewing. I just showed it to my wife, but with these thoughts in mind, it was a bit more sobering. -

They probably shouldn’t have taken the robot out drinking before this. Probably watched too much Futurama I fear that some technicians may never be heard from or seen ever again
