I'm not touching Starfleet Academy with a 10 foot pole. The first season of Discovery was mediocre at best, and while I'll admit to actually liking most of the second everything that's happened since they went to the future has been straight trash and I refuse to acknowledge it. Anything set after the early 2400's is non-canon in my book.

All of the line art was grabbed from Macross Mecha Manual, and definitely isn't perfect, but is good enough to draw distinctions from. I did a quick comparison back to what's shown on screen and it's a good representation. Good catch on the 25F missing the sensor pod, didn't even notice that. I'm with you on the head and using the 31A as a guide, that seems like a good fit. I don't think the YF-25 is too useful in this case, the shape doesn't lend itself to a top mount laser and the big dome on the front would be at least partially visible in that line art if that were the design. I half remember the YF-25 being designed the way it is for ECM purposes as well, though whether that has anything to do with the head shape, I have no idea. I've always had it in my head (based on nothing 'official', mind you) that the VF-24 was a seriously military, heavy combat oriented craft and so have always had a no nonsense design like the typical A shapes for its head turret. I almost wonder if something like the helm of a suit of armor would work, with a ridge or brow to protect the cyclops eye and give it a 'I mean business' vibe in battroid? I also think I have some lattitude to mess with the shoulders a bit to give it less of a 'football player' look like the 25s and maybe something a little more dangerous like the 27 (though obviously not that wide). Don't know. In the end, how much or little I do will mostly depend on how hard it turns out to be and how lazy I get. 😉

I Love the DX Chogokin VF-171EX renewal that I have, and this looks to be a nice design. I know that isn’t a popular opinion, but I think it would be a good addition to the upcoming VF-19 KaiFireValkyrie. Twich

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I've said it before I believe in last years teaser, it's like they spent all their budget on hyper realistic scenery and backgrounds then said screw it on the rest. I liked the first movie, despite the fact it had very little mobile suit action let alone involvement and dealt more with the character drama and slow story progression. It still had some of the best animation a Gundam anime has ever had. But this though......it feels like a step back because they're trying to blend in realistic looking environments with 2D animation and jarring camera movements. I'm not to sure I'll be able to handle watching it like this.- 4009 replies

If I remember correctly Club Tamashii is a Japanese exclusive loyalty program. Depending on how much Tamashii Nations Exclusive items you buy directly from them you advance a ladder that allows you to enter lotteries and buy items that other members and the general public doesn’t have access to. I assume all the stores that act as a middleman for these items have the highest level of this membership scheme.

I’ve been hearing that at this point there won’t be a season three and they’re just mostly gonna work the character into movie and show cameos. If that’s all true, then it really was a crappy way to end a show

I was under the impression that it was kind of just a 25A or G head too, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem like it. The A and G don't have those vulcan(?) humps flanking the laser's mount, and the helmet contours are totalle different, not to mention the laser is different shaped. It's actually the 25F that looks closest to it. I think there's something wrong with the 25F line art you used for comparison. The red sensor box where the laser would normally be is totally missing. Inside those black stripes, similar to where the 24 has the vulcan humps, the 25F also has them. I can't tell if they are still there in the 25F's line art. The next closest thing is actually the 31A, having a single laser, and the vulcan humps, but the designs and proportions are off. One thing that's for sure is that the 24 definitely stows its head facing backwards. I'd say hacking (or clipping?) together a laser from 25A or 31A and copying 31A's lack of ears to the 25F's helmet would probably be the simplest approximation for the visible parts of the head. For the hidden parts, I guess you could take inspiration even from the YF-25, since it's the closest link to the 24 that we have. But I think there might have been lore that the YF's head looks intentionally primitive with a giant camera for testing reasons, so it may not truly represent any sort of lineage to the 24's designs.

I much prefer the original chonky design. I'll stick with my Yamato.
-
I think they're making lemonade saying you can stow the gun in fighter unlike the old 1/65 they made.
-
I just noticed this shot wasn't floating around before, I think... maybe it was added later? bandai's not even trying to hide that they are stowing the gunpod wrong lol

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
M'Kyuun replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I've no interest in the Timelines stuff thus far, but for a second, I entertained the thought of getting Armada Nemesis Prime, primarily for the articulated minicons, but $90 is far too steep a price for what you're getting. The way prices are rising on these things, I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue collecting, at least at my current level, which has already tapered over the last couple of years. I'm in for SS86 Starscream and Skywarp and for figs like Mirage that are in need of a good G1 mainline or SS figure, and any remaining minibots, but thanks to the main lines over the last few years, I have a pretty solid G1 collection with only a few holes to fill. Once those are filled, I may just reluctantly and regrettably retire from collecting. It's just getting too expensive. Too, I'm out of room for these things, so I also need to find some more storage/display solutions. Funny, when we moved from our two BR apartment, which itself seemed large to us initially, into our house, it felt like we had so much room. Our house is about 1600 sq ft, not huge by any stretch, but not small either, relative to many of the houses here in town. It took less than 20 years to fill much of that space, a great deal of it with my toy collections. So much plastic.- 17736 replies

Just came back from watching it. Yes sucks that Bruce isn’t in it but I had fun watching it. Lots of call outs to the previous two movies. NIN was great. They had a hard soundtrack to follow but the music fits. Ending and Post credit scene was definitely a setup for a Tron 4 I didn’t hate Jared in this movie, he was fine.

I don't understand what I just watched. Is this for the current audience or new audience or older audience? I can't describe the premise or tone. You could take that trailer and reedit to make trailers for at least two different shows.

All that trailer shows me is that this show in NOT for me. Hope they get the new fans they want, 'cus I don't think they'll be getting any old ones back with this.

I'm on vacation and had originally planned to fly out to the USAF and the Air and Space museum, but the government shutdown screwed that up so I went to a Lego shop instead and picked up some old school lego holy grail items. Yes, that's the Black Monarch's Castle in the back. 99.99% complete except for the string for the drawbridge. 😉

They don't twist, those are separate shoulder parts. Believe me, if you twist those things hard enough they're snapping off.
