  1. Nope, that was Bumblejumper.

    Bumblebee can be red or yellow, and Cliffjumper can be red or yellow. On TV they were consistent, but toys---all mixed up. Red Bumblebee is just that, red Bumblebee. Same for a yellow Cliffjumper.

    However, there is a toy which is neither Cliffjumper nor Bumblebee's mold--Bumblejumper. I think it may only come in yellow, not both.

    ::edit:: Nope, comes in red too. And apparently even blue!

    It says that he is a Familia 1500 XG. Familia is a Mazda car. Like the Protoge5 car is really a Mazda Famila Wagon.

    Jsut in case people were wondering what kind of car he is.

  2. So it was my first time at Wizard World Comic con. Lucked out, My bro is a good loyal customer at Alakazam comics and they gave him a free pass for Sat. So I photoshopped it as per my repertoire and got to go for free.

    I was a little dissapointed, but mostly realyl wasnt expecting much out of it since I went to A/X two years ago when it was held in Long Beach Convention Center. It was a small and pathetic convention then and this Wizard one was no exception.

    Bandai only had DVDs for sale. It wasnt organized well. For instance the Hellboy booth was poorly managed in terms of passing out tickets for panels. Oh that is another aspect I thought was asanine. Normally at Comic Con in SD you jsut walk into the room the panel is in. Here you have to get tickets to attend. AS well as tickets to line up for autographs.

    The only thing that made it worth while was teh Hellboy booth. they had lots of freebies to promote the movie. Like 2 different full size movie posters, ski caps, stickers, BPRD identity badges, keychains. Plus the Director, creator of Hellboy, Ron Perlman, and Selma Blair were there to autograph. Other than the poor management of Wizard world the Hell Boy marketing campaign was really good.

  3. I was never too thrilled about Transformers Energon until now. Yes its better that armada but other than that its crap.

    I went to Target and bought Snowcat. Yes that is his name. Hmm sound like a GI Joe vehicle? which Hasbro re-issued for their current GI-Joe line. And doesnt it look like a snowcat? Plus it was on sale for 10 dollars. Oh It was released with the new Rodimus flame truck.

  4. You need to tell your bro-inlaw that the japanese are more open to such things. its not pornographic. People lose sight of what pornographic entails. Merely it is to elicit an emotion. Erotic to be example. Obviously people are not supposed to be aroused by large rodent testicles (could be but prolly not). One's reaction is to merely laugh at the obsurdity of the cartoon and enjoy the humor.

  5. bah wih nail clippers. if your jsut removing it form the palstic sprue tree then you need what is called a "sprue tree cutter" it looks like nail clippers (scissor/plier type) very clean. but of course it is not perfect so light sanding may be needed. im lazy and too cheap to buy sand paper so i use modeling files or jsut shave off the sprue flash (little bit of plastic left from improper sprue trimming) with an x-acto knife.

  6. W00t! It's Taniguchi's S15! I saw him take 2nd at D1 last saturday!

    Yeah I was there too. Wasnt Kumakubo and Kazama Drift off simply outstanding? I think Kumakubo should have gotten 3rd. Not the 4dr Skyline.

    I got there a little late, around 12. DId you see VF1X's Car? The Auto S13 sponsored by Pacrim? It was driven by Dai-kun. I only saw it on Thusrday during the qualifying rounds. Was able to mount my camera inside. Eternal D, Kidk and I were supposed to get rides. Rides!!!! But officials chickened out and gave insurance excuses even though rides were given on Tuesday. WEll atleast I got video from inside. THank you Jerry!!! Any way he told me what happened to his car but it wasnt very detailed.

  7. Ok I know there are the Transformer choro qs but they are ok. Im talkign about the rest.

    Check out these latest finds

    ok while these arent officially Transformers They could be. Remember in like 2000 there were Botcon exclusive Transformer ChoroQs? Non transforming? I have them there is Optimus, Megatron and Mirage. Well these could be Smokescreen.

    For those who like the 400% Kubricks how about a 400% ChoroQ?

    See the little guy on the right? Thats a normal ChoroQ

    And for those who liek drifting. . .

    HKS Hyper Silvia S15

  8. This almost seems to belong in another part of the forums. But anyway, Robotech lit the fire of admiration for transforming robotic planes. When i learned about the truth behind Robotech I wasn not so keen to teh perversion of one man's creation, Shoji Kawamori. I guess as a fan I try to get as close as possible to the true essence. the original source as i can. Almost all fans try that in one way or another. Take trekkie fans. Some love it so much they live it in that secret society of theirs and speak Kingon.

    Anyway what im saying is I liked robotech to the point I wanted to learn more. You took a different approach when you discovered the truth. I went the other way and embraced the pure macross rather than the Robotech version. While I myself have qualms with Robotech and HG in particular, it doesnt matter does it? You like RB and I like Macross leave it at that.

    I am glad to hear that you did give the real macross a try before formulating opinions.
