  1. It was supposed to also hang missiles under the wings and be re-engined. Have to say, I would loved to have seen that. Instead, the B-1 is now on the way out.
  2. I'd be interested in knowing if any of the pilots, and not just those on the subject aircraft, commented on the lack of vertical separation. The switch-over from 500 to 1000 feet from the show line was bad enough, but that height difference would have meant those crews walking away from their aircraft instead of what did happen.
  3. Seeing this thread brought back up gave me a little thrill! I really hope this amounts more than just speculation and talk, as I would love to see more of this!
  4. @MechTech Literally making the tools to make the model! And most impressive ones at that! Very cool.
  5. Another sad passing. RIP Kirstie Alley You had us yearning to join you on the Enterprise and had us laughing out load at the bar. We will miss you on the rest of the journey.
  6. Well, there was talk a while ago about turning the B-1 into a into a bomb truck, B-1R. Love the acronym, Boner.
  7. It's all stealth over speed, esp when we're coming into the era of hypersonic missiles. Staying undetected is safer.
  8. Is this you, cause that seem kind 'cutesy' to me! At this point, I don't even know where we are going here?! Are you being critical about something and just can't say it plainly?
  9. It was a little out there anyway, what with his brother's head slowly vanishing. Always had be wondering what was going on back in '85? Were people freaking out about it? To view it now as time needing some time to orient itself to the new history, such as nothing changing until the character(s) return to their own time to close the loop is a lot cleaner.
  10. Have to say I also like the B-2's stylling better as well, but as stealth goes, it's all in what you can't see.
  11. Because usually when I don't like something, I keep it to myself. There are sometimes I'll say that I don't, but otherwise I leave whatever it is alone. Why spend time decrying something I don't like or watch, right?
  12. That video of the guy just slipping it all together may be a liiiiitle misleading.
  13. @arbit Those are some great cockpit figures. Have you considered doing Misa and Hikaru just after he rescued her from the Grand Canon site? I've been thinking about doing a dio and some figs in the 'pit would be awesome. He and Misa are in almost the exact same pose during the escape, but there's also a point where she's standing and holding his helmet and he's sitting on the cockpit edge.
  14. All of the Baymovies are miles behind, IMO, Bumblebee. Having a different director in the chair, even if all the backing is the same, makes a big difference. Bay was in charge of all the hokey, blammy-crappy earlier movies that, again IMO, treated it all like a joke. Bumblebee was a great change of pace and really showed what was wrong with the franchise as a whole, that being Bay himself.
  15. One thing of note is the size of the Beasts. There are pretty close in size to the standard Transformers, whereas in the cartoon, they were sized to the animal they were mimicking. There was one scene where they went to the crashed Ark, before Optimus and the other had awoken, and they were tiny in comparison.
