    No, I don't think I will.

    In Macross Zero Ep1, the ship's badge for the CVN-99 Asuka II seen on the back wall of the briefing room (@13:20) shows her affiliation is the UN Spacy rather than the UN Navy. Possibly/presumably because she was involved in the business of planetary defense and serving as both a mobile testbed for OTM and a training center for UN Spacy personnel who were learning the basics of Variable Fighter (and possibly Destroid) operations. The Destroids, like the Valkyries, may have been Spacy property used to train personnel in the basics before proper production models became available. Variable Fighter Master File: VF-0 Phoenix does present an alternate version of the ship's badge that presents a UN Navy affiliation instead. Given that most later space warships opted for simpler and smaller beam and missile CIWS turrets, apparently not in a purely ship-based air defense context. The Destroids of the First Space War and original Macross series were built in expectation of use in a land war. The Defender was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that was meant to protect a larger mobile Destroid force from attack by aircraft. As it happened, the Zentradi didn't really do land wars in general so the Defenders on the ground never got to even see the enemy before being obliterated and the ones in space were stuck as overcomplicated CIWS turrets.

    Right there with you, at least regarding Transformers that don't transform; since the entire toy line and subsequent show were premised around that feature, and it's literally in the name, non-transforming Transformers omit the very thing that makes them so. As far as MOTU, I never had an interest so crossovers don't interest me anyway, but done in this manner, not in the least.

    In the words of Castlevania's Alucard: I'm interested in this.

    All they had to do was include ONE extra head (which they already sculpted) and we could have had Storm look like she did in the interiors to 275 (and 273 pictured here).

    Really wish they would do an armored Ozma already (and please make the figure Cathy ) I'll give them credit where due though, it's hilarious, but the VFG super VF-25 is the only version I know of that actually locks together into a solid fighter mode with parts that don't pop off easily (yes, that includes the DX).

    1/55's revisited

    danth replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    I feel like nothing good can come from "improvements" on an HG/Toynami project. I just want the QC of the original 80s toys (tight clicky ratchets and no gaps) with tampo printing.

    My number one rule for Transformers is "must transform." If they want to make a repaint of Tigatron that transforms from Battle Cat into He-Man I'll put money down on a preorder. But I'm not opening my wallet for a non-transforming Man-At-Arms in Bumblebee cosplay.
  16. danth
    Yeah, the head sucks. I am tempted though. They'll for sure make different versions with different heads...right?
  17. danth
    I'll admit to being a sucker for some collabs, but they definitely go too far sometimes.
  18. mikeszekely
    I won't say a word of complaint if they put out an Evil-Lyn wearing that Kotobukiya Bishoujo Starscream outfit...

    I'm ok with the takara stuff except that gundam head design. I will probably 3d-print my own replacement head if I do end up buying one

    The Cheyenne talk does make me wonder, the original ones in Zero were stationed as anti-aircraft interception units on Navy ships if I'm not mistaken. Would the ones that were that boarded the CVN-99 Asuka make more sense belonging to the UN Navy despite the UN Spacy marking? And maybe this is a general thing with ADR series like the Defender, but I wonder if there was actual merit to design complicated robots specifically for that role when you can have really strong guns attached to the ship.

    Yeah, that about sums it up. Spoilers: Even wearing Megatron as a shirt won't stop him from betraying Skeletor at the worst moment.
