The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
tekering replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
ยฅ21,780? ๐คญ Too little, too late, and too much, TT. ๐ While I admit MP-56 is an improvement (at least in the legs), I remain satisfied with "Terraegis."- 16160 replies

While I would still contend that season one was worse, I was surprised by how poorly episode 10 concluded season 2. Overall, there were fewer cringe moments in the second season than in the first, but the final episode was chock full of 'em. From plot points to dialogue to visual effects, "Farewell" contained the worst scenes of the whole series. The resolution of Seven and Raffi's friendship felt unearned (if not forced), second only to the "you've gotta be sh!tting me" resolution of Kore's narrative. I only hope to hell that Santiago Cabrera and Isa Briones are now free to pursue promising careers, rather than contributing to the necrophiliac gang rape of TNG that season three promises to be. ๐

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
tekering replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yes, and whatever fans Kotobukiya is marketing this figure towards will have already seen the screen test in question, or at least the photographs... ...and will know full well that "his iconic EE-3 carbine rifle" wasn't a part of the original white costume... ...nor was the Sacros K-11 sidearm... ...nor were the Wookie scalps... ...nor was the homing missile on the backpack, for that matter. The sidearm had no holster, the left gauntlet had a completely different flame projector, and there was no dent in the helmet! Sideshow did it better: Hasbro did it better: Hell, even the Kubrick figure was more accurate! All Kotobukiya did was repaint their ESB Boba Fett figure white... and they couldn't even get the right shade of white. ๐คจ Epic fail. ๐ -
It's more like "acknowledging the work of a hopelessly bad student, whose grades have improved since he's started plagiarizing his older brother's homework." Excellent analogies, however. ๐ Props, too. I particularly like their tricorders.

Well, the pilot episode plays out like a Star Trek fan film -- derivative, conventional, utterly predictable, and full of legacy characters that don't really act like you'd expect them to -- but compared to what Akiva Goldsman has done with Discovery and Picard, it's difficult to find fault with Strange New Worlds. ๐ I'm happy to say I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Mecha Size Comparison Video - It's Pretty Fun
tekering replied to sqidd's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Giant Robo got a mention in the text crawl at the end, just to add insult to injury... ๐ Transformers, however, were completely shafted. ๐คจ -
The grammar issue is with the split infinitive "boldly go..." (which should be "go boldly..." of course). ๐

Nah, that's just a Photoshop mock-up. I'm far too busy to actually do anything more than swap faces on Houquet for the time being... Are you repainting the bike by hand? ๐ถ

1/48 SOUTHERN CROSS BIOROID PART II
tekering replied to captain america's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I see @Podtastic continues to bankroll these projects, thus offsetting the cost for the rest of us, increasing the demand for a scale Hovertank, and ensuring the alien bad guys continue their galactic domination. Kudos, my friend.- 144 replies

Star Trek, with its decades of continuity, technical manuals, compendiums, encyclopedias, visual dictionaries, databases and Web sites, is uniquely suited to that sort of fandom.

Seeing as Houquet has such a generic Tatsunoko face, I'm amazed they managed to screw up the likeness so badly. Nah, I'm not going to ignore a problem with such a simple solution: Just heat up the head, remove the hair, and swap out the head with that of a generic 1:12 anime girl figure. Just about any head will look better than Sentinel's. ๐ Now disassembling and repainting the armour, that's gonna take more time.

Actually, Amazon sold out of their preorder stock months ago. Those units available now -- including the three you mention -- are from third-party sellers, and how much you'll pay (and whether or not they'll ship internationally) depends on the shop.
