Ok, now that is a low punch *I say someone go to his house and steel the whole damn PC*

I now actually think it's the Beagle one: Beagle proto The last contender shows their stuff. It's going to be a close race between Megahouse and Beagle for my money. If they all turn out good there's also the possibility of having each Mospeada gang member come from a different toy maker

If CM delivers the goods, you'll have the tiny tiny fixed ones that come with the Legios/Thread combo Personally I can live with non perfect transformation. The only thing that would irk me is part swaps (hate having extra pieces that don't go anywhere until transformed). I'll probably go with the Megahouse version. The extra stuff like Mint and the boxes practically seal the deal for me... and I also like small thing

I agree with you here but... well, see Hollywood doesn't give a rats ass about what you or I think of their attitude because that doesn't make money for them. Would you invest 100 million dollars on something that has no guaranty of even returning that sum back? Better invest that in one of those CG cartoon movies that have made money before. Sometimes a talented director or writer will land a project and make magic. The first X-man had a crappy plot and yet Brian Singer made a watchable film that sparked life back into super hero movies. And, BTW, you get you fair share of bullet time in 300. Pretty fun movie that 300. And yet some projects need a big name to actually get made. Yes, we were lucky. Or better yet, instead of cheap crappy CG , why not have actors wear robot costumes to get even more robot time!!! Sorry, but ILM work in this movie is incredible. I prefer quality over a few extra scenes. Correction to that fanboy generalization: who cares? Can you deny that there have been good/fun movies made out of comic books? Live in Angerville if you want. Personally I don't care if they make 200 bad robot flicks if I get to see one that is good. I won't pay a dime or loose a minute watching the ones that don't interest me. Come on over to Positiveville and enjoy stuff and forget about crap. And yet a lot of people have had fun watching this movie (myself included). And it has made a ton of money because of so many people having fun. More money than the guys involved thought they would make which in turn has opened up the flood gates for a new Hollywood formula which has the potential of giving us some good new entertainment. Nobody forces you to watch stuff you don't like and even if a franchise goes to movie hell, it can come back to life later on. Just look at Batman Begins and Superman Returns.

BTW, is the cyclone of this old pic the Megahose one?

Nice, thanks! Hope they still include the Mint figure.

When you take out fanboy physics out of the equation you see that we got more robots than there should have been out of a movie that is supposed to make money, not please a battyy minority: - A giant transforming robot is a special effect. Special effects are expensive, especially if you want them to look good and believable in the real world. - The TF budget was considered "low" (or not very high) for a big summer blockbuster... considering that most summer films only have humans the idea of having a lot more real looking giant transforming robots scenes for that sum is wishful thinking. - Hollywood repeats formulas that make money. Until now there was no example of a money making movie that had giant robots. In Hollywood terms, they took a risk going along with the robots. All the teen humour was their safeguard. - The bigger the name of the actors involved the bigger chunk they take away from the budget. TF had that guy, the other guy from that TV series and the good looking woman... thanks to that we got more robot time. - Bay, the reason for war and famine in this world, is hired by the studio mainly because he shoots cheap. Less time repeating takes to get that special Stanislavski moment or whatever means that there was more money to spend on the robots. In short, we got more robots and thanks to the movie appealing to a wider audience we will get more films done about giant robots. I find that POSITIVE. Sure, we’ll get Elektra’s and Cat Woman’s like comic book based movies did but we can also now get the equivalent of a Sin City, Hellboy or 300 with big robots. If someone feels “offended” due to the three human plotlines sandwiched between the robot action, then they should enjoy life watching how Megatron tried to steal energon every week or whatever instead of feeling pissed because someone “raped” a show created to sell toys for kids of the 80's.

Did anybody ask if there were going to be changes (like red visors) and how "limited" they are going to be on the "Yamato meeting on the 21" thread?

I only see parts moving around in these two early videos of Prime. http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/PROJPAGE_Trans_02.html If there was cheating, it's practically cero compared to all the cartoon magic we are used to.

You could also resell one Ivanov and get both the Nora and Roy.

Nora pre-ordered BTW, what is wrong with HLJ server? It's been very slow since yesterday.

Jesus's monkey!! I didn't know Nyoro~n sucked so bad. Talk about examples of blatant "goofs"! I even bought the whole "Gundams need to go to charge up in the ship"... Thanks for the info and the link

Which just goes to show that you can't make one of the most awesome fights in anime history better any other way

Now you know who to hate for all the Attenborough love

Episode 1 could also be just Boota's parallel dream universe. We didn't get to see much of his dream (if anything) when Simon was recalling all the Gurren members from the Anti Spiral dream trap. *edit* The now obligatory 300 trailer with *insert name here* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHPxLhfFzk4...40cf434b0014054 And magical girl Simon

Didn't notice this thread before. Thanks for sharing Graham Hope we hear something about a VF-0D in the future... or a confirmation that it ain't happening

I find that the new shield and the new cannon look... too much super duper robot. The original ones looked more like unrefined prototype experiments; very difficult to construct at that size. But I must say the shield that comes with the SPEC 00 is stunning *edit* WTF! 1000 yen more expensive than the 01 movie SPEC?? And this one has even less weapons and doesn't come with three shoulderpads... for the price of this SPEC I can get both the 01 and 00 HCM-pro's that are loaded with extra stuff: http://momoja.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-345.html http://momoja.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-363.html

Words cannot describe its "beauty". It looks like it's back again... you have a second chance to burn your eyes. Back on topic: SPEC Eva-00 photo review: http://cms.or.tp/~gamu/goukin/gouki/spec/spec02/spec02.html

Looks like the VF-1S is out: http://srblood.blog89.fc2.com/blog-entry-280.html

Thanks for the pics! Geara Doga it is then. And after that, the Super HCM-pro RX-79 . It justs looks really pretty and incredibly posable; any known QC problems in this big hcm?

It's 26 cm and worth 84000 yen (700+ US$) but it sure looks awesome. The stuff they do in Studio Halfeye is just amazing; to bad it isn't mass poduced in plastic/metal. LOTS of pics here: http://halfeye.m78.com/products/dnova/dnov.../dnova_top.html

Godmarz pics: Found here

Even the Jegan's new hip/leg joint and the less kible aren't enought to beat the Geara Doga? I had already decided on getting it instead of the Geara... must rethink now. Anybody have the hcm-pro Evas from the evangelion rebuild? Are they worth it?

And I say Yamato should make a skull leader YF-19 repaint like the one funkymonkeyjavajunky has for an avatar.

Sonic and Mario can now literally beat the crap out of each other? A fanboy dream has come true.
