Retracting Head Ter Ter

Hmmm I think you are right and I got my explosive/casing weight ratio of bombs mixed up with BB shells.

I am Bulrog and I have many many powers! Poor Butters. He gets all the crap now that Kenny doesnt die anymore. So now we know that Jews can't be either Paladins or Ninjas...

MSN-04 SAZABI. I don't normally buy Gundam Kits and dont have a single PG but if they did a Sazabi I would buy it. Kaempfer and Rick Dom I would consider.

50/50? I always thought the explosives take up much less then half the weight of the egg.

I nearly burst my guts laughing when they parodied the anime style Japanese song with half baked Engrish lyrics.... Protect my balls lets fighting love!!! ROFL!!!

The ugliest bits of these transformers arent just the front (tho the front is butt ass fugly). Have you seen the back? All the fugly messes of wheels and door handles and what not just lumped into a big ass hump or junk at the back. Dangit my office ring file can become a transformer if I just painted robot hands on the inside cover and a crab on the outside cover....

Right on APU, I wasn't around back then but when the pics for the first 1/48, the Hikaru 1A came out, did anyone here bitch about the sculpt? probably the price, but anything else?

Must have hairstyle with floppy fringe or die in first mission.

I said it and I'll say it again. Paint a brick with a bus on one side and a 2D robot painting on the other and voila! Instant TF.

You can't say that a yellow heatshield is any more colour co-ordinated then a black shield since the tail fins have the white skull on black background too.

Max could probably do it in a VF-11 or even a VF-1!

20g in 2 years is _not_ that bad considering he can liquidate it and have a good chance of getting all 20g or more back. Heck, even if they were not assets, people spend more on other entertainment forms like flashy cars, drinks, partying etc etc. Everything is relative. Just keep receipts and buy insurance eh?

Thats what I thought they could do, use the same stuff as the gun door on the pylon mountings points. The second article did claim that the pylons on the 22 can be jettisoned though. For all we know, they figured out a way to seal the attachment points but its classified stuff so they aren't honking it to the public just yet.

Anyone/anywhere I can get some more info/pics on the gun cover for the F-22 or F/A-22 or whatever they call it now? Is the cover destroyed once the pilot decide to shoot? I know powered doors for each little attachment point would have to be built to very very fine tolerances but I was asking if it was technically impossible or just very hard to do. Maybe they aren't doing it since it might add $5-10m to the already porky price tag?

Is it that hard or are there some pretty formidable obstacles to overcome if the aircraft was designed with stealth covers which are hinged/springed loaded like the fuel tank inner flaps on a automobile?

Both were made after Macross so of course they will look more similar then the original Tomahawk. Just like some parts of the VF-0 looks more like the 19 then the 1.

They broke the molds??? Harmony Gold bought up Yamato?!?!?

Proto-Cultural Signature??? Something that represents any sign of OT?

This guy has got talent, he should try working for a big company. The stuff he is selling is real cheap for the amount of effort needed. Poor guy. Sure is hard to turn a profit.

What if BW had sold the M+ licence to HG eh? Then Toynami can get around to ripping off the Yamato/Bandai molds for their MPC YF-19.

The wing is Japanese built. Some fancy composite curing process which they gave to the US in exchange for the rest of the US tech found on the plane. Plane is about 60 Nippon, 40% USA. I can't find details on the web about just what exactly this fancy curing process does though. I still think they should have made it more like the 16XL. Would have been neat.

Too much Ace Combat on the pilot's free time? Or Sake. Anyway, I am sure the car got a lot less then 160 rounds. The pilot has to be a real marksman to pot 160 into a car sized target with an vulcan.

Well, if we use the theory that they have 1 rank from start to end since they were cloned with all the necessary knowledge for that rank, then the new one just gets the old rank and never advances. For the second bit. Ahhhh the wonders of Overtechnology....

Wasn't Britai one of the very first clones off the line? After so much wafare, even a flag officer might get injured by exploding spaceship consoles (like in STar Trek). Those 3 spy goons had their promotion due to a 1 in a billion freak occurence. Zentrans normally just stomp on the enemy with their 10 bajillion ships instead of spying on people.

The plane is supposed to be larger then the F-16. But the canopy seems be relatively larger compared to the fuselage when compared to an F-16. For the pilot to stretch his arms? I heard it costs as much to build as the F-15J which is already bloody expensive. At that kind of costs, I would have thought it would be better to upgrade the F-15J, you know, slap on some FAST packs, add 3 more lasers to the head, that kinda thing.
