    Lipstick on a pig.

    Hire union voice actors, like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker (not soundalikes with no acting talent). Use original models for tertiary characters, rather than recycling the secondary cast ad nauseam. If the budget doesn't allow for #1 and #2, just reduce the episode count! Three good episodes is infinitely preferable to six lousy ones. Tell the voice director to decide if they're gonna imitate G1 or not; don't leave it up to each actor to choose. If you're gonna let the actor choose anyway, at least insist on a consistent performance... Pay your actors for each line they deliver, NOT for each minute it takes them to deliver it.

    That defines Hasbro so succinctly, it ought to be on all their corporate branding.

    I know exactly what you mean. It's all character merchandise to me, so if I don't know the character, I don't need the merchandise. Mind you, after the disappointments of Netflix's Siege and Earthrise, the Bayverse films, and Rescue Bots Academy, I wouldn't even be a Transformers fan if it weren't for IDW.

    Nice! Did you paint that one up yourself, Cap'?

    No corners cut, no detail overlooked. That's our Cap'.

    While The Bad Batch was definitely not my favorite thing about the last season of The Clone Wars, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much more sophisticated the characterizations are in "Aftermath," the first episode of this new spin-off. There are real conflicts within the group, debates about duty and ethics, and loyalties are tested to their limits as the Republic becomes the Empire. It's also great to have regular voice actors return to roles such as Caleb "Kanan" Dume, Saw Garrera, and Admiral Tarkin, and we get to hear the great Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor again. Oh, and it was 71 minutes long!

    I actually put some time and effort into trying to correct the proportions, to make the SDF-1 look more like the animation model and less like the vintage toy... Forgive my blasphemous sacrilege.

    Oh, that's par for the course here. As you can see, we've all got our own agendas to push. @treatment is incapable of seeing past "Godzilla (1954) is the only film that matters," and I'm incapable of seeing past my own rage over how insultingly stupid Godzilla vs. Kong was. Of course, having tried to discuss Godzilla films rationally on kaiju-specific fan forums, I discovered quite the opposite there; whereas we're harsh critics nitpicking any perceived flaw, they didn't seem to have any critical faculties whatsoever.

    I've tried to make exactly the same arguments before, so we're certainly on the same page there. Not at all, man. Like I said, you made some salient observations. I didn't hate your video. Godzilla vs. Kong, on the other hand...
  11. tekering
    It would certainly explain the awkward proportions and the foreshortened prow...! Excellent observation, Shawn.

    I can still hear it! Nobody's gonna argue the Southern Cross BGM was superior to the Robotech score.

    Well, that explains the nature of your comment. You really should have watched the video, and saved yourself the public embarrassment. As to the video in question, it illustrates some significant anime parallels (once you get past FOUR minutes of time-wasting drivel, that is)... However, if you're gonna post the link in this forum, you've gotta be careful with statements like this: There are members here who will give you grief for suggesting Macross II is "unofficial."

    Looks like an SH FIguarts!

    If Tatsunoko hadn't done such a poor job establishing the color scheme in the first place, Bandai wouldn't have so much varied animation reference to work from.

    See, guys? Mike doesn't need our help. He's perfectly capable of enabling himself.

    Sure, if each Valkyrie came with its piloto.

    It's all in the markings!

    The only significant difference between the TV and DYRL VF-1A design is the protruding sensor package on the head: The TV version has a flat lens instead. The HMR included both heads, which gives us a fairly objective point of reference for comparison.

    Your condemnation seems a little premature...
  23. tekering
    Apparently not... although I doubt it would've mattered anyway, unless you managed to get your order processed within the first sixty seconds or so. I've never seen an Amazon.jp listing sell out so quickly before.

    Thanks, that's very helpful. It looks like the "oversized" Shock Trooper will scale nicely with B2FIVE's upcoming 1:28 ride armor figures.

    I just posted a new one for you in a more appropriate thread. No, I don't think he meant customs.
