    I guess there’s a chance that Hal used to do more of the cosmic stuff, but already retired and Guy has taken over that role, but now Hal has found someone he feels is worthy of his ring. John himself might just be starting out small here, but may grow into a bigger character if the gunverse survives

    To be fair, they did say it was going to be a more down to earth detective story a while back. Not sure why they decided to do that with green lantern instead of Batman, but at least it was no surprise. Honestly, I still think Batman would make a better series character than movie character. He doesn’t need a big budget to be cool, he doesn’t have super powers and most of his baddies are just awkward psychopaths. And a good mystery could be done in a season if handled well. I’m sure that there will be some show of powers here and there, but that will probably be toned down a lot.

    Candidly? No, you really aren't missing anything. There are occasional moments where the writers almost seem to grasp what Star Trek is about, but then they lapse back into churning out faintly patronizing Discoveryslop.

    I get the feeling that for a basic edition that they want them to appear how they do in the show and special editions get all the extra bling like the fancy production artwork. And that kinda goes for most companies and different franchises. The HMR is pretty much a premium thing compared to other offerings while these lil guys are still expensive, they’re still the budget buy.

    Surprising, the wings are configured differently than the green one, although in soldier, they both appeared to share the same wing assemblies. I like this better, however I'm content with my Omega PO for now.

    Overhead view of bare fighter mode looks nice.

    It wasn't the old/dirtied Corps uniform. I know VFX is expensive but only 1 shot of Jordan flying off? No giant hand? A simple beam shot? Body shield? Anything?

    Haven't seen it in two weeks, and it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything...

    Should give it your best all of the time! 😉 Just converted the new Scopedog to a RSC the colour of it is actually darker than the STTC.... the metal joints do give it a little throwback to the old Tackara toys. 😉

    I know they got the prequel series and probably more gen v. As much as I love the show, I do feel like it’s time to move on. I’d like to see other live action comics brought to life. Spider Noir looks good so far, but I’d love to see something with Spawn, even if it were only something like a Sam’n Twitch series. Would also love to see other animated shows for comic characters since Invincible is so good.

    I think they tried that, and Ryan Reynolds ended up shooting himself over it.😁

    I really doubt this show will go that direction. Kinda tired of a lot of these shows just going from regular ol punching to penile destruction. It’s become so common in shows that it’s almost expected that all they can come up with is a low blow to a dudes manhood. Pretty much never happens to a lady though I think the outfit is just old. I’m pretty sure there will be a newer less worn down one coming

    They will probably do it for certain special editions

    True, though the state of technology and manufacturing even in the early emigrant era would make not using these things arguably much harder than using them. They were using municipal thermonuclear reactors even before the first emigrant ships launched. (With populations living in the spartan conditions of early emigrant fleets already being prone to riot when conditions are bad per Macross Chronicle, needlessly antagonizing the populace seems like a pretty awful long-term career strategy.) Even just plugging a disused Destroid into an energy capacitor to power the grid could provide enough power for hundreds of homes. The Tomahawk's backup generator has the lowest output of any of the Series 04's, and it's still producing 450kW. That's a huge amount of power in household terms. IIRC, 60A/100V is still pretty high-end for a home main breaker in Japan. That's 6kW peak load and by the 80% rule for electrical breakers a peak sustained load of about 4.8kW. That single Tomahawk's backup generator is enough for powering 93 houses at peak sustainable load by Japanese standards. A Phalanx's more robust backup generator could do over 200. A single VF-1 Valkyrie reactor? 135,416 6kW home main panels at nominal output (354,166 at maximum). Maybe, but it seems very unlikely given that no attempt has been made to connect that throwaway line from Macross Plus to fold carbon or fold quartz the way that they have with the hyperspace resonance lens from Macross VF-X2 or the crystalline bodies of the galactic whales in Macross Dynamite 7. I'd have to check, but I don't think Macross 7: the Galaxy is Calling Me! ever explains what the mineral the locals are so keyed up over - Barnagium - is used for. That the locals are ready to pop a cap in Basara's ass just for being there suggests the stuff is really valuable, though we're never told anything about it besides the name. It seems likely to be a liquid or gaseous, though, since the town appears to be full of pumpjacks and we never see any other mining equipment. Oh yeah, no fanfic is ever going to be perfect... but it's clear that they put a lot of love and thought into their work and trying to make it consistent with the show to the greatest extent possible, and I respect the hell out of that. Or it's made of a different material and isn't actually rusted? Materials shouldn't oxidize in space. Describing it as "the remains of a former self-propelled colony capsule" suggests that there used to be more of it... meaning the Akusho district might not even be an entire ship in its own right. It may be a leftover piece of a larger ship that was scrapped or was abandoned for some reason. "Self-propelled" doesn't necessarily mean "fold-capable" either. Yeah, as I'm sure you recall my project over the last few years has been examining how the lore has changed over the years. The coal mining outpost on Banipal still makes no sense in context or out. Especially once fold crystals were introduced to the setting. Humanity doesn't mine fold carbon, since they can synthesize it in industrial quantities. They "mine" for fold quartz... which is a polite euphemism for digging up former Vajra hives or pillaging Protoculture ruins for those rare samples of fold quartz. "Fold coal" is supposedly the lowest purity crude fold quartz... the stuff that we're told is borderline a waste product of thermonuclear reactors and fold systems. It's unlikely they would mine for it when they're making the stuff whether they want to or not. In fairness, the difference there is almost entirely just a superficial terminology change. They didn't really change anything about how it works or the fact that it's energy waves caused by sentient thoughts and emotions in higher-dimensional/fold space. Even making flowers bloom with it was something they were already doing in Macross 7. They just applied a more scientific name to it because the existing in-universe term wouldn't be coined for another thirty-something years of in-universe time. Yeah, the novelization of Macross Frontier explicitly connected the hyperspace resonance lenses of VF-X2 to fold quartz. Prior to that the only connection between fold systems and anything crystalline was the implication from Macross Dynamite 7 that something about the crystalline bodies of the plant-mineral galactic whales could be used to make high-end spaceship engines. That feels a bit misrepresentative... esp. since many of those early terrorist incidents are Zentradi who haven't adapted to peaceful life and the later ones were regular people being put in impossible positions by an increasingly oppressive fascist movement inside the New UN Forces not necessarily something motivated by a desire for independence. One thing to note with Master File is that, like Sky Angels before it, while it may be "not official setting" its information tends to bleed into the official setting fairly easily. Not the historical stuff, but the technical details. Quite a lot of the material related to the Daedalus, Prometheus, ARMD-class, VF-1, SF-3A, and QF-3000 comes to us not from TV series-era official media but the Sky Angels doujinshi and has since been retroactively adopted. We've been seeing examples of that almost since the Master File series started, and that's grown more pronounced since Absolute Live!!!!!! due to the lack of information about the movie's mecha in any official source. There are some obvious problems with the material, but if you leave those aside a lot of what it's in there fits quite nicely with existing material and there are plenty of examples of official material building on it directly. Novels referencing Master File designs, encyclopedias pulling specs from Master File, etc. Considering the coal mines only come up in terms of possible punishment assignments for Isamu, odds are the intent never went any farther than sounding like an absolutely horrid posting the Spacy's #1 regifted problem child would not enjoy. Haruna not Hakuna, lol. It's named either for dormant volcano Mount Haruna in Gunma prefecture or for one of the Japanese warships named for said mountain... either the Kongou-class battleship Haruna from WW2 (that ARMD-10 was named for) or the Haruna-class destroyer JS Haruna used by the JMSDF from 1972-2009.

    Since they did have some of the Actic gear 1.0 with markings they should have done it with the new line..... Oh well they have to release 3.0 sometime! 🤣

    Which is a shame, seeing as that makes it far less likely to be seen by younger audiences. One of the things I don't like about the current trend of super hero movies and series, is to make them so adult as to make impossible for the audience a super hero show (IMO) is geared for, which is kids.
  21. grogall
    Thanks! But like I said could have been better colour matched....

    This really is Actic Gear 2.0

    Ameblo.com has a review of the Toyr!es ATM-09-ST (Space Assault) unit! The one thing that bugs me most is that it's halve kit, halve toy but no markings The have good detail though! I find the dark British Racing Green on the Bandai Hi-Metal R is a better suited! Reviev by ＴＡＫＩちゃん
