  1. Past hour
  2. Man that AI generated ad is bad. The video doesn't even conform to a cathoid ray tv curve. So fake.
  3. There's no price or coming soon message so I'm going to hope they're selling the Tamashii store stock still... But I totally called it if it really is the next release.
  4. This got my scratching my head and sent me to the books... because I have no idea if an ISC can even be made to work that way. Normally, it's warping space to temporarily displace inertial forces before returning them to the frame in a controlled manner but the field is at least technically stationary WRT the movement of the vehicle itself. I'm not sure it would work on something passing through the field since the ISC doesn't offer any protection against bullets normally. (Now, I can think of a way to do this kind of thing... but you'd want the VF-22's Inertia Vector Control System instead. That magnifies or shrinks inertia vectors, but cannot change their direction. Using that, you could theoretically boost the acceleration of a Destroid to the point of turning a running punch into a guillotine, as long as you had a barrier to cushion that impact on the arm.) Wheeled bots DO spin and twirl. Hayate was doing exactly that at the start of Macross Delta, to the point that Freyja nearly lost her lunch. 😅 They just don't normally spin and twirl, because they're usually equipped for high-precision shooting. That said, I don't think "carrier deck brawls" are really a thing anymore after the First Space War. The only reason the Zentradi tried to board the Macross during the First Space War was that they had no idea what was going on with it or its crew due to the frankly insane circumstances of that first contact event. Their normal approach with an enemy warship is to just destroy it. New UN Forces warships developed after the First Space War generally aren't large enough to be home to a Destroid force either, with the exception of those 12 mass-produced Macross-class ships and the smaller Macross-type warships like the Elysion-type and Quarter-type that have a small number in external bunkers. Ideally, in a melee situation, you want something you can attack and block quickly with and quickly change direction with in a pinch. A weapon like a buster sword with huge mass requires a huge windup, a lot of recovery time between swings, and can't be maneuvered quickly. It's an invitation to getting shot fifty times while setting up your swing. (Though that's generally true for bringing a knife/sword to a gunfight in general and likely why the Spartan was seemingly the first/only Destroid role to be totally retired.)
  5. Yep, saw the post. A little enigmatic, but it has something to do with the '86 Movie. Guess we'll find out in 72 hours. Instagram
  6. Yeah... so he made a Transformers post today. I'm thinking no. If there were, they'd have gone up at 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT.
  7. That she is. Clean finish looks good in her. Great choice.
  8. She’s a complete boss on the battlefield but couldn’t stomach the idea of weathering her.
  9. Today
  10. New display at the Tamashii Nations store in Tokyo... Looks like their going to regurgitate another batch of DX VF-1J's 🤮 WHY??? 😢
  11. It has a name, but I dare not speak it, so I’ll just post it instead
  12. Thanks @SteveTheFish! Always nice to see these vids. Question, the Macross ships at 2:30, are those kits or garage made?
  13. Well, currently on HP's YT channel, they're doing a Marvel fanstream. However, on Mark Maher's Insta, he posted yesterday that today is Transformers Tuesday. Since there's no stream, I'm assuming that means more preorders? He doesn't specify, and I can't find any clarity either on the TFW boards or on the apropos Instagram accounts. Guess I'll keep an eye on Pulse for POs.
  14. Took some better phone pics of my Q-Rau I need to get my Max version on the bench.
  15. In the Robotech Battlecry game, it's referred to as the prototype "YF-1R" and shares the top spot stats-wise with the VF-1S.
  16. I am in love 😃.
  17. I just call it a VF-what the heck
  18. Which is really confusing, as "Variable Fighter Master File" has their own VF-1P Freya Valkyrie*! 🤪 * most of the info is on Pgs 90 & 92–93: http://sdfyodogawa.mywebcommunity.org/OTvfmf/VFMFvf1valkyrieWingsOfSpace.php#086 )
  19. I know that they're gonna be there showing off some new stuff, and I've heard that there's gonna be some preorders on Tuesday the 17th. Haven't heard anything about a Hasbro stream, though. AFAIK the Takara one is T-Spark, not specifically Transformers. I mean, they're definitely gonna show off some Transformers stuff (I'm thinking Overgear for sure, maybe some Missing Link), along with some Zoids and Diaclone, but I wouldn't expect any Age of the Primes or Studio Series stuff you haven't heard from Hasbro first (unless it's some Takara-exclusive repaint, like that green Lio Convoy).
  20. Some Robotech fans call it the VF-1P. 🤪
