    Enough of the freedom of whatever-talk. I get enough of that from Alan Moore. Who cares if Jim Carrey doesn't want to support this movie. That doesn't decide whether or not this will be a good movie. I'm gonna have to side with Twoducks about this comic and movie. Seems more for shock value and blood over actual substance. Never saw the 1st movie. The clips floating around didn't impress me. The clips for the 2nd movie also don't impress me either. I see this as one of those extreme-end genre movies that takes it too far to the point where it's more comedic than actual story.

    On most VFs with a PPB system, usage is limited to Battroid mode due to power consumption. However, a VF-25 with Armored pack can use PPBs in fighter mode due to the presence of a energy capacitor in the Armored pack. A VF-27 can use PPB in fighter mode thanks to the 4 engines it possesses.

    At least they deployed the prop into the field instead of using a giant blue screen and place holder dots.

    Please tell me it's getting some CG in Post... (spoiler'd for size)

    Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. That's an interesting take on the Batman/Superman v. Luthor in recent memory.

    I think Batman/Superman Adventures: World's Finest would probably the best piece to look at. And we really don't need to establish Batman as much if this is going to be more Man of Steel 2 as oppose to World's Finest or Batman vs. Superman. They can use the fight mechanics of The Dark Knight Returns to portray how Batman could fight Superman. And really, there have been lots of comic and cartoon portrayals of how Batman would fight Superman and it basically comes down to Batman having to outwit, outmaneuver, and misdirect Superman. One of the best things to do if they use Batman/Superman Adventures: World's Finest as a guide is they introduce Lex Luthor. But there are tons of other stories they can draw upon to introduce Lex Luthor together with Batman. Man of Steel leaves that door open since they practically leveled a city.

    For you film spies, look for the production title: "Foodles Productions Ltd". STAR WARS EPISODE VII Set To Start Filming Next Month; Production Title Revealed

    The whole "GU"-naming convention means little since those are company designations. We've seen "GPU" on the VF-0, "Gsh" on the SV-51, "MC" on the VF-17/171, or even "ESA" on the VF-25's wing root guns. Would they be considered a rail gun? Probably not. Normally, they would make mention of that fact in the specs if was. But we haven't seen anything to that effect. A beam gun could also be considered "cartridgeless".

    There is such a thing as a cartridge-less gun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_G11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerasimenko_VAG-73 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caseless_ammunition

    Sentinels == Robotech =/= Macross. Whether Zentradi-stuff from Sentinels-books is canon to Robotech is anybody's guess. But it sure isn't official canon to Macross by a long shot.

    It's a possibility. If HG wants monetary compensation for this piece of plastic, Hasbro can say "See you in court". The whole point of settle-out-of-court isn't that one side wins or loses. It's to avoid the scrutiny of the court and any after-effects. But we'll see if and how Hasbro responds to this.

    *Must con..tain... smart...ass * That would be truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
  16. azrael
    That won't be bad because then they actually have something that isn't a Macross toy. Ya know, something NEW.

    This means little to businesses. Or I should say, partners are only defined by the contracts connecting them. In Japan, not in the USA.
  18. azrael
    Yeah, except it isn't us, primarily, doing the talking. We're just sitting back watching the show. To which I welcome them Hasbro-fanboy youngins to the Sued-by-HG club.
  19. azrael
    They 300'd The 47 Ronin. You know the ronin all commit suicide at the end of that story right? Oh sorry, SPOILER ALERT.

    Only way this would go to court is if they drive the mediator crazy. The more cases that are settled out of court, the less grumpy the judge will be. And since HG is the plaintiff, the burden of proof is on them to show that Hasbro committed a violation of their trademark. If HG wins, you expect Hasbro reclaim all those toys they sold at SDCC? Really?
  21. azrael
    Thought they wrote a script treatment. Maybe not?
  22. azrael
    Yeah, and I watched it on Hulu for free. At work. During lunch. I want that bandwidth back but I know that won't happen. If the store asks, just say the DVD player won't play it. In fact, it shot it out as soon as you put it in.
  23. azrael
    Not really. HG and Macross finished a long time ago. This is a brand new game. Considering this is a SDCC exclusive, there's not a lot of money from selling this. How many did they sell at SDCC? Does Hasbro plan on selling it again?
  24. azrael
    Yes, it got mention earlier. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36540&p=1063964 But since this toy is the offending piece of plastic, talk of this case should go here. And as I alluded to in the other thread, HG has now managed to piss off Macross, Mechwarrior and Hasbro fans now. Can't wait till Mattel gets some HG-love.
  25. azrael
    Now Hasbro fans can join us Macross and Mechwarrior-fans. Welcomed to the club.
