  1. HOLY CRAP! I SEE GRIMLOCK!! WTH is this site? EDIT: Ok....fanmade site with transformer toys going on a rampage. lol!
  2. I got it from Brawl's page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brawl_%28Transformers%29
  3. Cuz the mask looks like Cicak man. Aww...i'm only getting archer so he can fight saber. And Archer is just so manly.
  4. Thought i should tell u bout this, Lynx. Ebcraft Archer due August. http://www.hlj.com/product/ENT01395 http://www.amazon.co.jp/HYPER-COLLECTION-n...UTF8&s=toys I dunno wth is that mask about though....
  5. According to wiki, they did last minute changes to Brawl's name and changed it to Devastator. Hasbro didn't have time to change the name hence the changes not reflected on the toys. But then again it could be the other way round as David stated. It makes more sense to name him Brawl anyway. Watched it. Was only mildly entertained by it probably due to me being a big TF fan. (for G1 anyway) They changed the story considerably. For more details check out the IDW comic which is a prequel to the events of the movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_The_Movie_Prequel Gripes: 1.) The candid/comedy moments were misplaced if not too dragged out. The whole hiding from Sam's parents was too long IMHO and was funny the 1st few minutes but became a drag. It also made Optimus and the autobots look like idiots. And don't get me started on the whole poo with the Sector 7 idiot. That was so lame and stupid. Bumblebee "peeing" on him didn't help either. 2.) Not enough was done to flesh out the autobots nor the decepticons. Hardly any character development for them. That said, Prime is what I describe as "the solo guy in Dota or Counterstrike" who went alone and did his own thing with Megatron. I mean he never had the awesome Autobot leader vibe coming from him in the movie. Should've shown him leading the autobots in battle, barking out commands and though outgunned by the more powerful Decepticons, save the day with strategy rather than brute force. That said, the kid who never knew transformers until the movie would buy Bumblebee toys rather than the Optimus Prime toy. 3.) Most of the Decepticons were killed by humans. The Autobots only provided ineffective covering fire. Don't get me started on Ironhide with 2 big guns that did nothing but used to do a "rocket jump". Oh and Ratchet not able to save Jazz is so NOT COOL. Why have a freaking medic/repairman? Sigh. 4.) The whole Archibald Witwicky...wtf? Just use the story line where The Ark crashed on earth, that would make for more interesting action sequences. And i'm suppose to suspend belief that they were able to haul megatron all the way to America and keep him in cryostasis with early 19th century technology? 5.) LOL Barricade was missing halfway through the show. He obviously died or something but they never did show it. Blooper. Pros: 1.) Mikaela..... 2.) Frenzy. I'm glad they decided on Frenzy instead of Soundwave cause if they named him Soundwave, i'd be pissed. Soundwave will be in the next movie btw, along with the Constructicons and Dinobots.
  6. That definately looks better than any yammie box that will be coming out. I'm guessing the final release will show the ivanov skull area if we're going by previous m0 releases.
  7. I challenge all your photosshoppers to "dream up" how the new SV-51 box art will look like.
  8. LOL yamato never ceases to amaze us with box designs.
  9. Actually this board is the more civil ones i've been in, believe it or not. That's why i stick around and get MW withdrawal syndrome when the server goes down. Well like a board with over 3000 members, there will be some who won't see eye to eye. You all know all you haters will watch Macross 25 to the very end even if its great or if its crap.
  10. I pity Slag of the dinobots.
  11. Its better to get it from a Japanese forum somewhere rather than from the company that makes the figures. Corporations tend to keep "product flaws" hush hush to the public anyway. (YES I'm talking about you.....Microsoft*!@&(*!&@ Xbox 360 (*!@**(!@ ) But if they are telling the truth (which i doubt) there can be few possibilities: 1.) Japanese fans are not as anal as the non Japanese. (i really really doubt this) 2.) Japanese fans don't bother to unscrew stuff on their valks. I mean it was really by chance we found out about the breaking shoulders on the VF-0s. If the person who 1s found out about it never reported it, we'd still be clueless about this defect, assuming NOBODY customises or tightens the joints on their Valks.
  12. I agree that it would be interesting to know what Japanese fans are thinking about Yamato and their stuff.
  13. Awesome episode. Variable Ganmen even!
  14. Haha..congrats that you got it lynx. Apparently its hard to get it now. Had much trouble getting yours?
  15. The shoulderblade opens into a sniper scope. And apparently the Positron sniper rifle and Shield Of Virtue(lol) is sold in a seperate weapons pack.
  16. Not the 1s time. The Whitebase is a Pegasus class ship (Later retconned in the novels as Pegasus I and Pegasus II as Whitebase class ships ) Big image of Gundam 00. http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oowy7.jpg
  17. I'm liking the detail on the cockpit. This time u actually see the ejector handles....or whatever you call those yellow/black stripe bars on top of the cockpit.
  18. As "different" as the designs look, i'm sure everyone here including the h8ers will watch this when it comes out.
  19. Yes its a novel. Here's a link to them but they're untranslated so not much use. Looks like a "teenager at academy" sorta story judging from the illustrations. http://photo.163.com/photos/led2989/ And a description of what the DESTROY mode is taken from another forum Basically the same thing like Macross' YF-21 brainwave interface. But don't know is it supposed to increase the unit's agility or something.
  20. Where is this thread you speak of?
  21. Only nerdy ppl will catch this. (Nerdy enuff to be in 4chan)
  22. From the small images of the novels u can see abit of the fighters....looks cool.
  23. http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/skycrawlers/ Mamoru Oshii of Production I.G (that's GITS guy to most of u) will be the director of this film. Based on some Japanese light novels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Crawlers Should be interesting.
  24. I saw "The Making of TF" on HBO few days ago and it seems like Scorponok will be a smallish anti-infantry robot.
