  1. Fixed it for you. I actually really like The Bad Batch (enough that i cannot binge it too often, something my family gives me crap over LOL)
  2. wasn't the F-203 supposed to be, if they had the rights to do so, actually a F-15?
  3. Well, Zappan is still alive. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have him as the bad guy in the second film... The question is, how would they end it? The original book ends with the space-station side of Zalem turned into a Flower... but the goings on of Last Order.... seems way too political and complex for a 3rd movie (a multi-year Netflix show, on the other hand?)
  4. after xmas, when they spam "IN Memorium" will they even include her as Savvik? 😕
  5. Heaven is like Denny's (Open 24/7)... I mean, CLE's Gaylord Perry (MLB legend) has apparently passed away...
  6. we might get Ikea the Furniture series before anything else 😕
  7. This is my private view on the matter:
  8. Possibly in the same region of space, suffering the same fate?
  9. Its been soooo long since i built the early 2000s Prefect Grade RG-78G (?) but did it have that option to hold its bazooka on its back hip?
  10. On Zent Fems: What would it be if she was, ahem..... THICC? It's probably Khan Klang I'm thinking off, actually. o>O Pen you have WAAAAAAY too much time. Alpha Centauri = Rigel Kentarus in the battletech setting. Somewhere along the line, the name has been changed twice (I just can't find a reason why, but it's not without precedent: Carver V = Liberty and the Comstar/WoB Hidden 5) But that art you did: Screams!!!!
  11. Ok.... The Clans... 20? 18? 17? First off, there's the elephant in the room dressed in grey with a name type that says Joe Smith, Hyperspace Navigator... The Clans (or ANY BT faction) could NEVER be a threat to a Colony fleet or a colony world because the manner in which BT vessels travel between systems (Jumpships travel between systems, Dropships travel to/from the Jumpships to the planet in question). It would be far too easy for two Gitmo Stealth Carriers to hold both the Nadir and Zenith Jump Points plus a third holding near common L1 points at the colony home world. In order to make the Clans into a viable Macross Protagonist, you need to change the tech used, the methodology in how they get around. To expand this notion of how easy 3 gitmos can hold a system, you only need 6000 Gitmos to embargo the entire Inner Sphere. The notion of the Clans being better bag guys? that's need some proof checking... Please, MODS: Lock down the thread, because the guy who originally started this thread, hasn't said &^%$ lately about it. (Plus id like to PUBLICALLY Condemn Sketchy for his very provocative explanation on the Politics involved that we discussed in PM. Excellent response from him and quite surprising...)
  12. yeah, the docks... That seems far more plausible (and gives an excellent explanation to the empty space under the vessel: You park an Oberth in there)...
  13. It's clear as day how the Empire views non-humans just by listening to Dr Mengles talking about the sound clip of Children (alien or otherwise)...
  14. AIMD Additive increase/multiplicative decrease - Wikipedia No, not that (but when i think about some of the places i worked at over my career, maybe some of the other divisions suffered from that) AIRCRAFT INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT (AIMD) (tpub.com) anyway, that term (AIMD) had to come from a Sailor talking about work in public (because unless someone got to actually visit the Carrier inport at that time, i find it incredulous that the production staff would coin the phrase ARMD out of their butts and literally just a single letter difference). (Honestly, we'll get back to the Clans soon enough)
  15. So when the concept of Galactic Empire was coined (and i mean the literal Japanese words, not the English translation), they thought about Japanese history when they coined the Protoculture? o.O That could be taken one or two ways (and that distinct leans towards a political discussion, a BIG NO-NO in common discussions) PM Sent, Sketchy.
  16. Ok, lets do a thought process on those terms. 1) WHEN exactly, date wise in production, was the term coined. 2) How old was the individuals at that time. 3) How often was regional nations discussed in news (and which ones)? Mind you, I'm thinking the same thing as how other concepts creeped into the setting (ARMD = AIMD, VF-84's colors at that time). Galactic Empire was a term that was first coined in Star Wars and maybe they used the word as a literal concept?
  17. [Halfling] List please; I have the dual purpose Trash Can/Puke Bucket within arm reach (impedes Wiki searches)
  18. I'm currently under the weather so i don't feel the urge to verify this but did the Klingon Death Scream originate on TNG early enough that the possibility of it being depicted in VI could have occurred, had the knowledge pass from the TNG film crew to the VI Film crew? What kind of reaction would 1990 audiences would have to it? (More importantly, what if they intentionally did not do it?)
  19. Condolences to the NOK. I was still in school so she wasn't a huge impactor from my POV (and because i cannot recall any other entertainment item she was in, she probably was another Hollywood one-hit wonder...)
  20. The violence has to be neutered, based on the intended audience i.e. Its not Kenner Toys bank rolling the show, its Tacos, cars (and maybe feminine hygiene products)... Could you imagine a R-rated original trilogy (id rather have 1~3 mind you)? Actually rated R WOULD BE more like the Auronauts Trilogy... 😃
  21. Its funny. Is Sebastian's POV of Macross Galaxy possibly based on his own bias (based on his nationality, which might not be Japanese)? Because i do agree with his position that the cyberminds of Galaxy are not even remotely grey with their intent. They were no different from any other fictional (or non-fictional, to which many fictional foes are derived from) human faction with the simple goal of wanting POWER over other humans. That's been the basis of all the major Black Hat factions in Battletech, regardless of who was the Line Lead of the company at the time... Mods, this might be avery good time to put the cabash on this topic. It has clearly derailed and leaking highly toxic chemicals into all our blood streams...
  22. This comment will be harsh (and quite critical of my fellow 'Muricans very specifically) but i need to get this off my chest: It's funny: As a Veteran, whenever I make a call to the VA or respond to a call from the VA, the first thing I hear is questions about and the phone number to call, about Suicide Prevention...
