I still gotta say that I would watch southern cross over the majority of the dull anime we get these days. In fact maybe I’ll start rewatching soon

I kinda think it was the later explanation. There was the Zaku Marine and a similar Zaku mariner. Either way both Zakus seem designed more for amphibious use. I still think the gelgoog seems mainly designed for space. Otherwise the basic Zaku F2 from that series would be a marine Zaku since it fills those roles. But that Zaku never got that kind of name the U.S. marines were kinda set up to be to be deployed by ship to shore along with their air support. Not saying there aren’t ground bases. Maybe the creators just watched aliens as were thinking of colonial marines. I never read any of the later comics that may have explained that, but as far as when 0083 came out in the early 90’s , I don’t think they had a real reason. It’s kinda tough finding a lot of English explanations of older designs

After seeing the Japanese version, it’s hard for me to be as excited about the original American intro

I find the hmr line a bit more fun. The Arcadia May have perfect transformation, but the later hmr vf1 was definitely more poseable In battroid mode, especially with the retracted wing attachment. It can lift the leg without the intake getting in the way of the wing. The size is more manageable for anyone lacking space especially if you gotta have the monster. The non transforming ones are definitely the best in the line with not having extra parts laying around and being super cool to mess around with. And the markings are painted on , but may not be 1/100 percent perfectly colored in some cases. The Arcadia’s are perfect transformation and a bit bigger if that’s what you’re into though, but I kinda feel like if you really want a bigger perfect transformation then may as well go with the Bandai dx vf1

While I was cleaning up a few things, I found a few kits that I kinda forgot that I had. One of those was the hguc gelgoog marine. It kinda got me wondering a question I had awhile back. Why is it called marine. It doesn’t seem to be a water specific unit like all the other mobile suits with the marine title. As far as I know cima’s group never even went to earth and these gelgoogs seemed to be set up for space use. I think they only showed one on the ground at the end of 0083 with a captured unit that may have just been one pieced together after the final battle was over

I kinda get the feeling that the mecha really was mainly designed for riots rather than all out war. Maybe since the planet was so far from earth and really seems to only have one major city, they didn’t worry about other nations or worlds that would start a war with them. The light Logan may have just been a patrol vehicle and spartas may not have worried about heavy protection in two of the modes since they didn’t expect much more than small arms fire. The personal armor probably was designed to take those shots and of need be it could transform into the more protective robot mode in case things got out of hand. The auron seemed to be developed out of necessity after realizing they needed more than just patrol and riot vehicles

That’s why they wore absolutely awesome armor. Say what you will about the mecha, but the armor was beautiful even the ones the bad guys were wearing

Maybe it’s more that this show is one of the best things on paramount. I don’t have the service, but the other shows don’t get mentioned anywhere other than the sci fi shows that seem to get mostly complaints. The other stuff may be even worse off as far as viewership that people just don’t bother

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Big s replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I did think that it was interesting that wave is putting out that kit. They’re doing some surprise oddities -
I’m not loosing hope on it. There’s a lot of things going on in the world of macross and this release honestly fits for me better than the yamato since I don’t have a huge amount of space. Keep those fingers crossed and make sure to upgrade your luck and stamina, maybe lower the intelligence and strength a bit to compensate temporarily

I don’t think they would show them if they weren’t included
-
They do love to tease. Hopefully it’s happening and sooner than later. I’m still very hopeful

I recently finished the second season and it gets even better. I like watching something a bit more lighthearted afterwards though, since it can be a bit heavy sometimes
-
That would be nice

It’s kinda confusing as far as who owns what rights these days. Bandai had the transformable 1/72 and some 1/100 fighters. Hasegawa does some 1/72 fighters and wave does others. Wave had the 1/72 destroids and parts forming 1/100 vf1s. I honestly don’t know who can do what these days. It’s kind of a weird mix. There are a few others I didn’t even mention because it’s getting a bit all over the place. I still miss the Tony tech line and really wish those continued

Does that mean I can stick his face on the fridge when not in use?

I think it was said earlier that target had an early run and then the other places like bbts were gonna start selling them soon. I don’t think these are exclusive to target from what I’ve heard

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Big s replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Nice work on that face. I haven’t actually seen many of those old figures painted up -
Just noticed that amazon has the rifftrax version of mega force as a free watch. Gonna add it to my list and check it out this weekend

I’m pretty sure he loves acting and probably wants to stay relevant by doing as many films as possible. I really don’t think it’s a money issue. Maybe he even likes the excuse to just get out of the house to do something. They fly him to all kinds of locations.

I had three of those. The rhino, the stinger and the vampire. Never got the ones I really wanted, but I was happy with what I had.
-
At least they announced something. Maybe since the last armored type had a regult following it, the missile types are comin up soon
-
No. If it’s like the vf4 then only fighter. The 1/100 vf1 kits were the only ones wave did as parts formers
