CM’s Gutto Kuru Megazone 23 Part 3, Eve Tokimatsuri. I wish CM’s didn’t skip Eve from Parts 1 & 2, especially Part 1 where the characters are designed by Mikimoto.- 163 replies

Quick question for clarification: when you say "predecessors", do you mean they became Shinsei, or simply that they predated Shinsei? -

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'm sure they have at least some... after all, Shinsei Industry is one of the oldest, most successful, and most influential corporations in Humanity's defense industry. That's not a position you earn, or keep, without having at least a few skeletons in your closet. We do know their predecessors Stonewell and Bellcom employed former Anti-Unification Alliance engineers from the SV-51 program after the Unification Wars. That's how Alexei Kurakin, General Galaxy's cofounder, survived the war. He was on Luna doing space testing on the VF-4 when everything went to pot. Maybe... though the designs of that era are kind of a Lost Generation in terms of depiction in Macross works. We only ever got to see the 3rd Generation on the way in in Macross M3 and on the way out in Macross 7. That said, I'm inclined to doubt that the VF-14 would've received the same kind of excessive service life extension the VF-1 got. The VF-1's unending utility is practically a running joke, and the main reason it's stuck around as long as it has after being aged out of main military service is because civilian market VF/VT-1s are so ubiquitous that the military's Special Forces supposed use VF-1X derivatives because they're as close to inconspicuous as a 12+ meter tall transforming robot can be. Macross Chronicle's descriptions of the Fz-109 series suggest that the Elgersoln's performance improvements owe a lot ot other areas beyond simply raw power... it's said that they made refinements to basically every system, though the transformation is specially noted to be much smoother than the original aircraft's due to their improvements. The overall performance is said to greatly exceed the original VF-14's, which yeah... I guess makes the Macross 5 and Macross 7 fleet's VF-11s supremely unlucky to run into enemy forces who are fielding a Gen 3.5-equivalent as standard. -
The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
mikeszekely replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah... but remember, aside from what they have planned for Transformers One and a few store-exclusives, I had word for everything through the end of 2025. No Jetfire... in fact, the only other Armada release in the works that I'm aware of (after Galvatron and Tidal Wave) is a Voyager-class Red Alert. Energon is getting no love aside from a Galvatron repaint of the Core-class Megatron. Nothing else is in the queue for Cybertron. A big chunk of 2025 is going to be Aerialbots and members of the 13 Primes.- 16248 replies

I got mine from bbts so I'm guessing I'll be waiting for a bit.

Yup - that is probably the best ending of a Doctor Who story ever. And Ncuti Gatwa's emotion at the end is incredibly well done.

HLJ just quietly puts you in the queue for the second and third releases instead of informing you they can't fulfill your pre-order.

Gah. Didn’t see this until after my post. I dig the packaging.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Seto Kaiba replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hm... I'm not sure it's "everyone has a lightsaber" so much as it is the franchise's obnoxious tendency to put the vanishingly tiny minority of Force users at the center of every major event in galactic history. The Jedi represent just one ten-trillionth - 0.00000000001% - of the galactic population before Order 66. After it, they're on the order of one ten-quadrillionth of the population... but any even slightly important event seems to involve at least one. I only noticed that detail recently, but damn if it doesn't bother me. I'm going to go on a bit of a rant here... -
The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Thom replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Ha! I was looking for the one with Kylo! -
It's becoming an alternate universe where everyone has a VF-25 lol If you want more suggestions, you can steal more colors from the rest of the franchise. Delta squadron VF-25 for example. Or do something weird like steal nintendo color schemes. Mario and Luigi? Pikachu? lol. I think a Samus themed one would actually go well.

TG Remix replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
It does kinda remind me of Armored Core in that field, except a lot more dystopian and a lot more casualties in between events depending on the routes you take. You know Frontier and Delta focus so much on General Galaxy's shady business and connections, sometimes I wonder if Shinsei has some dirt and/or blood on their hands. Maybe as a part of a life extension service like what the VF-1X and similar variants went through, I can see it. Either that or as modified export craft like the VF-5000G and VF-19P. Heck looking deeper the Elgerzorene has the same max cruising speed as both the VF-17 and VF-171 at 30,000+ m Mach 21+. So maybe the Gustav isn't really all that different from the original craft and the VF-11 were just very unlucky to fight practically an army of 4th generation Valkyries.
