Still love it. One of the more fun real robot shows. Not really in for expensive toys personally, but still hoping for some model kits maybe if moderoid tries to do them

General Sci-fi designs across various media
Big s replied to M'Kyuun's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I barely remember Megaforce other than being a joke on Southpark and the recent model kit. Surprised it’s actually popular in Japan, must be the flying bikes -
I tried looking for the answer in here and couldn't find one, but if it's here and I missed it I apologize. What's the deal with the slum that Basara and Ray live in in Macross 7? I know it's called Akusho and that its attached to the outside of City 7, and that it seems to be roughly the equivalent of one of the smaller Island ships that follow the main ship, but that its either a part of the main structure or was attached later. Im just unsure why this was done, and why its allowed to consume resources when it's in such horrible shape. Was it an Island that got wrecked and they strapped it on to the main ship to save it for some reason? And are Fire Bomber the only ones living in it? A Semi-related question: How does the Shell projection work? I guess this also counts as a Frontier question since its the same idea. From inside the dome it seems like the sky is projected onto the dome to simulate day and night. OK, I get that. But then from OUTSIDE it looks like the Shell hs the Projection on it. DOesn't that mean that from other angles the actual sky would be visible? And the Akusho wouldnt have simulated daylight or sky at all, because it's outside the dome.... right?

This, right? Looks like they might have disengaged the nose cowling, but it's also entirely possible Isamu damaged it enough that it was barely hanging on. -

Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
That's at a bit after 31 minutes into the movie, after the test montage and the first Sharon Apple concert. The scene where Isamu finds Dr. Neumann hiding out in what looks to be a either a supply closet trying to "kidnap" Sharon Apple. There's no clear event that led to the YF-19-2 being in such a state in the movie version, due to events being reordered. -

Looking very impressive from that low angle @tekering. This may be the start of a whole city center for you! That Enterprise is going together just right @pengbuzz. I like the idea for the grillers.

Oddly, Anaconda looks more fun. Didn’t really care for the original, but kinda like the concept for this one

Couple toylines spring to mind here when it comes to SF designs, but not the ones everyone probably knows - "StarCom" and "MegaForce". I never had any of them but they stand out as having a relatively "realistic" (by I guess "Action Forc - ", excuse me, I mean "G.I. Joe" standards of "realistic") aesthetic for the time. Early "Britains Space" also arguably had a more "grounded", "2001" style look compared to the likes of say "Star Wars" or "Micronauts" - if you ignore the yellow/orange paint of the original "hero" vehicles (Britains normally made military, farm and construction vehicle toys so I wonder if they used what they had in stock... ). And while I'm getting lyrical about old, obscure British toylines - "Action Man Space Ranger"! -
UPDATE: Over the holidays, someone was kind enough to send me a couple of projects (much thanks to them!) as to keep my mind from going to complete $#!7 with current circumstances. Here are both of them: And I started the first a few days ago: Have yet to do decals and painting: Keeping it in components so I can actually do this without driving myself any further up the wall than I already am: Planning on doing transparent purple over the inner grille to replicate the lit "warp effect" without lights. Stay tuned...

Was that after his first flight with the 19, or when Guld shot him? I suspect given how many other pilots wrecked, they probably had a considerable store of spare parts and fabrication/ repair/ maintenance equipment onhand. It does help that the fighter is robust though. Yeah... probably replace a few parts and clean the paint really. I just wanted an excuse to post that snippet from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. -
well, had some Chrsitmas money and it was on Mandarake for 20000, so I snatched it up. Should have it by weeks end Looks like generally people dig it, and i love the DX 19Adv and YF-19 anyway so Im feeling pretty good about this one
