I had a whole idea about what they would put into an RT movie but considering there's no pitch to the studio..... I will say that if they do pitch RT to the studio, it will be a modern retelling, (much like Bay-formers). There will be elements there to appeal to both old and new fans and a similar story (i.e. alien ship crashes on Earth, transforming planes), but I expect a very different feel (design and probably character-wise)compared to the animation.

Considering how bad the Gundam live action turned out to be... I'm sure a Robotech live action will use the Macross Saga since most people would remember that part of RT. If they create a new franchise out of this (say 2 or 3 movies), it will follow the current Hollywood franchise formula. First movie is the origin movie with the hero "getting his wings". The 2nd movie follows the trials of the hero etc.

Agreed. This is (say it with me) ROBOTECH not Macross. I expect zero/nadda/00/null/ゼロ involvement from the original Japanese creators. Tatsunoko, would be the only ones involved and that would only be a licensing issue. Agreed. If they use the VF-1, I expect it to be Raptor-ized. They made Optimus a Peterbilt, Bumblebee a Camero, Megatron a alien jet...I would almost expect them to make the VF-1 look like a modern fighter. I also expect the Zentradi mecha to look much different. The core idea of a Regult (a pod with 2 chicken legs) will be there, but that's about it.

I don't think they quite understand that. But we'll save that for another thread... I think MF's work is underway but her involvement hasn't started. If I don't hear about a premiere date within the next 2 weeks, then it will probably have a Winter start date.

I think my stomach just puked.....

Same here. After years of watching, this has become a non-issue for me. But on the other hand....I also watch things raw.

Does no one check the Compendium anymore? CF can mean lots of things....for example...Cannon Fodder.

It is being remastered. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=22677

Asus has been working with Apple for a while now. Since about the time that Apple switched to Intel processors. Much iPod manufacturing occurs in China/Taiwan so I'm not sure who's building what for Apple these days. Good deal. Pity that it has a 3100 graphics chip on it. It would be better if it had a X3000.

They're wrong. http://web.archive.org/web/20070522141119/...ple.com/itunes/ http://web.archive.org/web/20070523004310/...om/ipodshuffle/ http://news.com.com/iPod+gets+touchy%2C+wi...l?tag=nefd.lede Amazon is also selling all the previous color Shuffles which were also 1GB. The only thing the Shuffle got was a recoloring.

They haven't added any more storage to the shuffle. It was 1GB before and it's still the same except in new colors.

We have no clue who's who yet because we don't have production lineart to go with names. We only have 1 name, "Ranka Lee" (unconfirmed spelling), and that is the only character confirmed. We have no production lineart on any VFs as well. That VF that "looks like" the VF-5000 has not been confirmed to be a VF-5000.

Well, for those of you want to know why Kevin Smith isn't directing an episode this season... http://silentbobspeaks.com/?p=346 Yes it was a scheduling conflict..so to speak. The body is going one way while the mind is going the other. And if someone gives you and oppurtunity...try not to think about it too much.

The 8800GTS will get you farther along. An 8600 GTS in SLI would bring you close to a 8800GTS but if your budget doesn't allow you to get an 8800, then an 8600 in SLI would be ok.

From Gunota:

OEM stuff is usually wrapped in bubble-wrap. Retail goods are usually left alone to their own packaging. Then the whole thing is covered in the packaging popcorn. You can also check out other stores for a cheaper price. Just to name a few... Tiger Direct ClubIT Zip Zoom Fly Chief Value (Newegg with coupons)

Well...there's a good chance that a official trailer will up on the official site. The only mention on the official site is to check back for more news on Macross F (tentative title) (posted Aug. 28). Sorry.

According to Mrs. Ron there was a scheduling conflict so they tried...and failed. Better luck next time.

I would probably go with something similar to this: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6420 - $186 GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.3) LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - $89.99 G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - $84.99 EVGA 256-P2-N761-AR GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - $159.99 sub-total: $520.97 US I've left out the hard drive as they have a tendency to go on sale regularly. As for the power supply, probably any brand name 500W PSU of your choosing will do.

Using regular brushes with acrylics is not that hard. It just requires some good technique and some control. Sure it dries fast, but as long as you don't apply it like it's gonna dry as soon as you open the bottle, then it's not going to be a problem. It also helps to buy non-cheap brushes, like ones that use real hair and not synthetic stuff.

So how are they going to get Lost again? Cuz in the season finale....they were found.

It's around 2070. We're not completely sure of the time period (we've only seen "20XX" on posters). Will M7 be required viewing for Frontier? No. If anything, we'll get a short-short-short history lesson which would summarize what has happened previously. The previous Macross series will probably be optional viewing if you want a more in-depth history lesson.

And I don't see that changing either. Macross has never been heavy on the capital-ship combat and I expect Frontier to follow that aspect of the formula. I think anybody looking for BSG-style will probably not find it in Frontier. Anyways, Kawamori likes his VFs more.

AMS-129 Geara Zulus...So the Geara Dogas and Zaku had kids huh? I don't see that much coming from the SEED section anymore. Maybe one of the Astray units (I would lean toward Red Frame) but I don't see much more coming from SEED. Most of the other kits got a proper clean-up from BEE-Craft. I'm lowering my bet on Nightingale. Too big. Maybe later but not now. I still have X, Double V, Turn X, Asshimar high on the list. With Unicorn going to 1/100 NGs first, we will probably see a Unicorn MG but that will be down the road. They could use #102 for something easy like a CCA grunt unit or a recoloring. With Gundam 00 coming out They probably don't want to steal any thunder from that series.
