Retracting Head Ter Ter

MSN-04 Sazabi from Gundam. EZ-021 Deathsaurer from Zoids. Legioss from Mospeada. Atlas from Battletech (I think they ripped off the Warhammer space marines a bit)

I bought the Miria for about 80 bux, and resold it in a week cuz I really did not like the leg articulation. Something about the toy just didn't feel right, a bit more heft, poseability and ratcheted joints would have made me keep it.

Any pics of the Super Crusader on the ground with gear deployed? How do those big fins not scrap the floor? Esp on landing?

Its not the cars that put me off (ideally it should have both imports and yank musclecars.) I hate the lousy arcadish lack-of-physics engine. The old NFS (esp 2) had a much better driving engine.

More ballsy than that. It has to be "Good Bye Pussies!" When you stroll into a battle scene and want to clear the field of as many of the ugly zentreadi mofos in as little effort, and as much style, within as short a time as possible, you smile devilishly, warn your friends to get out of the way, then shout: "Good Bye Pussies!" taunting whatever targets were unfortunate enough to be within the range of your present, all the while letting all the hounds loose while you concentrate on more important enemies (dogfight with Qraus?) This is followed by shrieks of terror as they cannot find any holes in the mess to fly through to escape, only to be blown into oblivion. Then whatever secondary explosions you couldn't avoid due to lessened maneuverability will have been absorbed by the armor only to be ejected after max damage has been taken. With you being ready to take on the weakened forces that have managed to outmanueaver the first wave of your attack. Thats provided you don't run into a red Q-Rau with even more missiles then your GBP.

Wouldnt the tuna have exploded when it was exposed to the vacuum of space?

What do you guys find wrong with the Basara guy? I mean, he would look like a total idiot if Mac 7 never existed but he does look anime accurate. Much more so then the Mylene chick (yes she looks DELICIOUS...nice legs ...slurp....). So the Mylene chick might look more appealing to us males but in terms of anime accuracy, that Basara guy is about the best I have seen for cosplayers.

400km!!!!!? Is that only when its launched from high alt and speed at low alt targets? poo! 400km!

Anybody here remember the series BJ and the Bear? Loved that red and white truck as a kid.

I'm sick of waiting for the F-14. Dammit. I've seen the dragon 190D. Ok but 1/72 scale is a bit small for WW2 birds and the details arent that nice. I would have bought it if it were 1/48 scale though.

I want the Blue Thunder instead.

In short. No sensor pod. No pylons on the CFTs. *** *** Biggest difference between a F-15D and a E(strike) was the pylons to carry all the exploding bits. If they had fitted the pylons correctly and put some bombs with the box it would have been one of the greatest die-casts ever released. But too bad.

The Monster probably only shows up to blow some cannon fodder anti-UN stuff. Then DD or Nora zooms in and blows it up with missiles. Typical...

Yeah but its HG's fault that Bandai couldn't put em up at the TRU shelves so that people could buy the re-coloured blue jetfire even though the same toys were gathering dust in asia.

The thing about beer and other alcoholic drinks is not just the calorie count. IIRC the alcohol slows down the metabolism as well, so the calories are stretched...

Just to rant here since its seems quite appropriate... HOW IGNORANT CAN PEOPLE BE?!!?!? Zero/Low Fat Pretzels or any other zero/low fat food. It irks me when stupid people see 'zero fat' and immediately think that it automatically is health food which you can gobble without going fat.......

Actually, if transforming is really necessary for tactical flexibility, the variable war machine should stop at fighter and gerwalk mode. The advantage of Battroid over Gerwalk is better hand-to-hand combat (ok and taller so can see over a damn wall, but the Gerwalk can just hover if it needs height anyway). Better hand-to-hand doesnt seem a good trade off for the extra mechanics needed for another radically different mode. That weight/space/cost is better spent on more ammo or weapons. I mean, they don't waste the effort of putting a battering ram on the Abrams even though it _might_ come in handy if ammo runs out and a T-72 trys to ram it.....

I would think that regardless of technology level, a transforming fighting vehicle is not really viable. In space especially, the damn shape doesnt matter. Battroid mode should give you the same speed and agility as fighter mode. In atmosphere, well, if you can make a pure battroid or a pure fighter, the parts and weight savings would give you combat advantages over the variable vehicle. Regardless of tech level, you cant have 'something for nothing'.

Hotshots with Charlie Sheen in it. They had some hilarious fighter designs.

Standing on its tail pipe is quite an understatement. It can do the cha-cha, rumba, tango and the spinning helicopter kick whilst standing on its tailpipe!

Well, we see how tough the VF material is in Mac Zero when Roy thrashes Shin's valk and there are no scratches. So in fighter mode on the ground, i guess they just use brute force and scuff the hell out of the ground with lots of screeching and scratching noises.

That pic looks like the butt of an F-18 grafted to the nose of an F-15C and canards thrown in. Iit somehow looks really wierd. Very 80s anime look for future fighters. I still say a scaled down F-14 with 2d thrust vectoring was the way to go for the FSX.

Them Japanese should have based their fancy new wings on the F-14...... with 2D thrust vectoring.....operational service about 2009......mmmmmm

Interesting stuff. As usual, the US C3 tips the playing field.

If you were that top, you'd be hanging on for dear life too wouldn't you?
