  1. well i guess i'm from the other camp,, you know the side that hated what moore did to the franchise. i honestly wished for 95% of the chatacters to die in a fire.( not bill adama, he was the man.) i don't want a movie tying into moores vision, but also i remember what singer did with superman, and how he basicly saddled us with Ratner on xmen, so slightly worried about what he'd do.

    I'm right there, with you. I actually liked Tigh for a short stretch in the first season, when was sober.

  2. OT question--can someone identify the arms used in the quasi-official 25th Techno-Viper? (and if the chest equipment is hacked-up Para-Viper stuff or something else) I've thought about making a custom, and have been looking at the various other ones already done. Though the helmet is an issue---don't want to use an original one, and I frankly don't like the modern interpretation from BrokenArrow.

    Those arms are off of battle armored Cobra Commander. No idea about the chest gear. That cylinder doesn't look like either of the tanks on the Paraviper's back, to me.

  3. I know that they were available in Mech Commander 2. I don't remember what variant letter they were given in the game. I assumed the were actual variants from Battletech. Guess I was wrong.

    Still would have loved to have equipped a Bushwacker like that in MW4.

  4. I don't have the leader, but the voyager's articulation is prettyy good. The head's a little restricted, but joint mechanism it sits on for transformation lets you fudge things a little, to have him look to the side. He has almost as much articulation as the Robot Replicas version. The voyager does have an awefull lot of back kibble, though.

  5. I still can't get past the leader version's polio arm. I just got the voyager, and I like him. Better looking vehicle mode, too. Depending on the light, he looks more blue, than green. He's deffinitly a candidate for for silver paint, and a heavy black wash.

  6. :huh: WHAT :huh: I considered the Mac+ designs to be sleek and cool

    Something about the Mac+ designs have never gelled with me. I couldn't tell you exactly what it is, I just don't like them. Personally, I find the VF-2s to be both sleek and intimidating looking.

    The Metal Siren? Yeah, I think I'd take a YF-19, first.

  7. I know Macross II gets a lot of flak, but I like the design of the VF2 and VF2SS

    THIS!

    I still think that they're the best VF designs of any of the sequels, until Mac F. I know I'm in the minority, but I've never liked the Mac+ designs or their derivatives.

  8. The cars used on the show were probably base model V6s with a lot of body kiting, and custom interiors. The CG kept them from beating up cars, like the original series did.

    The show was really hitting it's stride, with the last handfull of episodes. Too bad that came after NBC played around with other shows in that time slot, and seemed to have dropped all advertising for it. They pulled a Fox.

  9. Well I got ROTF Sideswipe today; I like him (his altmode looks incredible, the detail on the wheels are sharp), he is seems a tad punty in bot mode, he does have the torso pegging issue and I wish he had better footing. Given how his feet ransform, I don't think it could have hurt to have extra spur or something added to the piece that flips down and mates with the wheel.

    I've seen a lot of pictures where people are transforming Sideswipe's feet backwards, so that the little folding silver panel is his toes, instead of his heel. I tried it on mine, and it does seem to make him more stable, for posing.
