no thanks. while fighter mode is my fav, i'm looking more forward to bandai's vf100 line.

i honestly don't like the vf-171 compared to the vf-17, especially in fighter. the battroid for the vf-171ex looks pretty hot tho...

yes, and he designed both the rx-78 and rx-178. they had him design the o gundam specifically to pay homage to the rx-78. he isn't involved with any other ms in the show.

actually it should remind you of rx-78 gundam from TOS because it was designed to be an homage of the first gundam. sumeragi? she must have had complications with the implants.

sheesh that thing is ugly. the bandai 1/100 vf-25 is looking 10x better.

yeah, and remember when the wtf-1 HAD to be the sdf-1? it's the vajra homeworld. i wouldn't read into it too much more than that until we have more info..

well it wasn't just the transformation that sucked on the 1/100 yammie vf-0s. the thing was a hideous clunker in all 3 modes.

they called em vf-171ex and btw that's the vajra home planet. i somehow doubt it's related to the protoculture.

thanks for the comparo pics. imo the pic of the vf-17 looks like a falcon in mid dive. the pic of the vf-171 looks like a penguin.

yeah, that's why i said, too bad yamato couldn't execute. judging by the pics of the vf-25 bandai should do a much better job.

1/100 scale with parts swapping.. sounds like they stole the idea from yamato. too bad yamato couldn't execute, this could have been a cash cow for them. the vf-25 has looked good so far, hopefully bandai will come thru with a quality product.

waht!!? no vf-17!!? seriously what will it take a company to make a decent looking diamond force vf-17!!?

red wolf, just for you, i'm quoting myself.

*sigh* umm.. to vf-25s, i think you're trying to complicate things more.. last i checked we were talking about an anime cartoon and not hatred and racism. i don't speak for everyone here, but just to clarify, i'm not saying that the right thing for alto to do was to kill ai-kun. in fact, we have seen hints of this throughout the series leading up to this point that this (reconciliation attempt between vajra and humans)was gonna happen. what i am saying is, given the circumstances, alto's response to ai-kun is expected and understandable. it would have been extremely lame if at that scene, alto was all "ai-kun's a vajra? well jeez, i guess they're not so bad after all. sure i'll help you return ai-kun to his mummy!!" LAME. the vajra are ugly bug things that supposedly have no brains (can't be reasoned with) and they killed his friend and destroyed his hometown. just the fact that alto hesitated shooting when ranka told him to stop speaks VOLUMES about his character. if it were me, i would not have hesitated. remember, alto DOESN'T HAVE THE ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE VIEWER HAS. this is the first time that it has even been suggested to him that the vajra can be reasoned with or can coexist with humanity. it should be obvious that it's gonna take some time for him to warm up to this idea. and while ranka's actions are courageous and bold, they are kinda rash and extreme as well. she still has a very limited memory of her past and very limited knowledge of the vajra, and yet she's gonna say goodbye and risk her life for her pet? and she expects alto to just be like "ok sure lets go!!" maybe she doesn't deserve the criticism she's gotten but she doesn't deserve praise either.

or maybe she'll end up like britai..

yeah, seriously. on top of that, alto probably heard from ozma that the vajra have absolutely no gray matter. according to leon, ai-kun isn't supposed to have the brain capacity to be able to develop a bond with ranka like it did. if it were me ai-kun would have a couple slugs in it's face.

do it. this thread is already 109 pages long and in need of a new thread anyway.

so in the end, ai-kun wins the love triangle.

doood that was some funny ish.

i don't do martial arts, but i break dance, which is very similar to capoeira..

muh bad. to some of us it's really obvious. although, neither shawn nor graham live in america, do they?

lol when i lived out of state i actually encountered more socal hate from norcal people. peeps from other states were cool for the most part, until i started making fun of their accents.

call me crazy but a nice loft in downtown long beach might be perfect for you. lots of nightlife and art nearby. just make sure you're in the right neighborhood cuz there are parts of long beach that are ghetto. westwood, silver lake, santa monica, pasadena, hollywood would all be good. i heard that recently a lot of artsy types are moving into chinatown as well.

wtf

dude i wud change your signature to read "ミサイル" and not "ミッサイル." it looks kinda silly.
