@505thAirborne Cool $25 plus shipping and handling!

Just kidding!! 

PM your address and I'll get them out.

Good looking work on the Texas, @derex3592.

It's very impressive. Not perfect, but still nice.

@505thAirborne Sorry to hear the lighting may not work out for it. Hopefully you can pull it through. In regards to the earlier post, I have a set of the Admiralty Model Works guns for the '03 Galactica, unopened. If you want them, let me know.

Going to have to hit Kryptonite on the playlist...

No, they are just AIMED backwards.

That is very cool! The one drawback is that the driver is very exposed.

I don't need a 1/12 Batmobile, but is tempting!

Had a thought about what we learned in this latest episode that might constitute a plot hole.

  Hide contents

The Klingon Empire fell and the Klingon species nearly went extinct because...

... they were using surface-based matter-antimatter reactors as power plants.

Starfleet's Academy-class ships like the USS Athena are partly used as surface installations and given what we see in "Vox in Excelso" they're capable of saucer separation and both the saucer and secondary hull have their own separate warp drives.  The saucer and secondary hull both land to form the surface complex used for an academy campus, meaning there's two warp cores in close proximity on the surface anytime one of these ships is landed.

Are the Academy-class new?  Or did potentially hundreds of these ships explode on the surfaces of Federation planets during the Burn when the dilithium moderating their warp cores failed? 

Unless they were using better safety measures and were/are shutting the down the warp cores while on the surface. 

@Chas That battroid with Max is very cool! 

@wm cheng Great looking Zero! Getting a metallic and chrome finish is tough (or so I've heard) and it certainly looks bright, shiny and chrome!

@electric indigo Nice paint and finish on the plane. 

@SteveTheFish has two good looking ladies on his bench! Been a long while since I watched Nadia and I've actually never seen Record of Lodoss War. Might need to give that a watch.

This time, they will use giant robots, in which the cabins will be the cars.

These movies are so divorced from reality, it would not surprise me. And it might make it good!

You know... it's kinda unfair that Hollywood refuses to look at other great 1980s cartoons to make movies out of while we continue to get rehashes of The Smurfs, TMNT, Inspector Gadget, He-Man, GI Joe,  The Transformers, etc.

My top picks that Hollywood is missing out on are:

The Galaxy Rangers

Thundercats

Voltron

Robotech (duh!!)

Galaxy Rangers definitely! Though I would love to see it as a series. It has an underlying story dealing with the main guy's wife and possible invasion, but a lot of other stories to keep things varied. I think the closest to it would be Space Rangers from 1993.

Another would be Bionic Six. And Macross would be a dream to see!

Whoever had my post removed: I'm not posting in this topic ever again.  Hope you're happy with yourself. 😠

Have had posts removed as well. usually in a 'discussions' with others that broached too close to poli tics and such.

I just assumed that the whole 'war college' thing is a left-over from when Earth was not part of the Federation, post Burn. In Disco, we saw that Earth had it's own defense force and I'm assuming it is still in existence, in-effect right beside Starfleet, and maybe fodder for future integration back into Starfleet as things progress.

As to the show, the first episode was all right, but these last two were hokey nonsense! My gawd! That's not to say I have a problem with the plot, but just the decision to turn the Academy into basically a futuristic version of Animal House, and not done very well at that. Drop the attempts at comedy and get to the overall story! In fact, this would have been better if these cadets were third or fourth years, giving them more leeway to get away from the frat house um, the Academy.

May give it another episode before deciding to abandon this one. Man, really wish they'd given us another season of Prodigy...

Your cruiser is looking real good, @pengbuzz

That's wild! Something reminiscent of Scar or Chiggy Von Richtofen.

And what's not to love about armor with cod pieces!

That’s not much better than a junkie leaving their kid with a relative so they can get another fix

No, it isn't, but it's better than leaving the dog home all alone. At this point in her narrative, she's no shining example of responsibility, but neither is she completely complacent.

Liking the mods @pengbuzz!

Another new one (to me ) on Pinterest.

I had originally been assuming it's hasegawa. But it doesn't have the picatinny rails on the guns.. Love the underslung gear.

Now that's a mean looking Glaug! Interesting that it's using a targeting pod. Very cool.

Yep! Like the director's Bumblebee the MOTU trailer gives me hope as it has heart. 

And that is why Bumblebee is the best of the Transformers movies and, IMO, the only real one. Honor the source material (though you don't have to be strict about it adherence) and concentrate on a good story. It's a simple formula that people still mess up.

I don’t know, seemed more like she semi abandoned him till she could slightly sober up after a party trip

She left him with an extremely protective 'uncle,' so in that she was alright. And, as I understand it, this movie is going to be about her getting beyond the pain of her past.

The chrome on that Zero is looking nice @wm cheng!

I just don’t like drunken mopey animal neglecting Supergirl. 

Well, she did leave him with her cousin, which was a responsible thing to do.
