    Yeah... may have to expand it soon. I made a scaffolding for a repair crew, and the current set is getting a bit crowded.

    ROFL! Well, if you do build a death ray, let me know. There's a few individuals in my life that such a device would...erm... anyways... Interesting to see these engine cutaways; ideas for the tech manual I have for my project.

    They do have a device in Macross that can induce "voltage spikes" of that caliber in shielded aircraft: heavy quantum beam weaponry. :P Seriously though, I would say the level of power needed to do that would probably be better spent on directed energy weapons to take out said craft, considering at that power level, you'd probably vaporize the pilot in the process. For all that energy, iIwould think it'd actually be an energy savings simply shooting them with energy weapons rather than a broadcast-induced energy spike. I think it would be a pretty interesting story to see a species that could wipe the floor with the Vajra come looking for them...and happen upon NUNS. That's the exact thing I was thinking when I was wondering about the "flight simulator" Isamu was in that was on the armatures in M+. And the scary thing about the YF-21 is that Guld was half-Zentraedi (at least somewhat more durable than a baseline human), and the unlimited YF-21 did THAT to him. Think about what it wold have done to someone like Isamu, or even a regular pilot.

    It would seem to me like a drink mixer that pours out what used to be pilots O.o

    You have a point; we just need the Macross Quarter to swoop in and put this thing out of our misery.

    All I can say about RT "remix" is... WHY. WON'T YOU. DIE??!!!

    That build was pretty epic; I think a lot of us were just floored by it! It had some influence when I did my Arii Storm Attacker a couple of years ago. Those scans must be huge! I didn't think to ask about them back then.
  8. pengbuzz
    Okay, thanks for the clarification on that. Watching M+, it was a little unclear and aside from what I had read elsewhere once, I didn't see much else to confirm one way or another.

    I wonder if Guld's YF-21 "Omega-1" was specifically tuned to his requirements? I think I saw somewhere that he designed the craft, but I'm most likely mistaken.

    Tempted to find one sometime when I have money and see if i can make it transform...

    Speaking of Leigoss, I recently dug a project from some time back out of the archives. I don't know if I posted it here or not, but it's worth a shot, right? I did a 1/48 scale Monogram Leader-1: Well...it is a Monagram model... and it is a model of Leader-1: I kit-bashed a 1/48 scale model Strike Eagle I found at a thrift store with a few loose knockoff Transformer parts I had in reserve. Although i had to make some concessions to get it to work, I think it works pretty well. I even did a concept piece for "Masterpiece Leader-1" box-art: Everything but the "Go Bots" and "Tonka" logo were done from scratch. One day, I hope to find a Leader-1 model kit from the 80's. until then, I've got this.

    It would make sense to show the learning curve he has to go through to reach the Batman that we see in the comics. learn the hard lessons about why things work, what works and what doesn't, pacing one's self in a fight, learning to "read" his enemies and prepare for them, why he needs a database on individuals, etc.

    If you look near the bottom of Memory Alpha's page, they have info on this one and what happened to the impulse engines: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Constitution_class_model_(refit) Not to mention, the AMT model is accurate in the sense it was screen used: Source: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Constitution_class_model_(refit)

    Very much seeing an "early Batman" here (year two as mentioned), where he's still kinda green and hasn't had years of experience, workouts and combat to build muscle and technique. Example: Pattinson Batman breaks guy's arm, whallops him about 20-30 times to the dome, then 2-3 or good measure on the ground. Keaton Batman: One backhand to a creep in the Axis Chemical plant takes the crud down. Bale Batman: Sore throat. Batfleck: Uses a gun to blow up the flamethrower guy's tank backpack. Adam West Batman: Gets the "Bat-Anti-Creep-Spray" out and douses the guy. No, seriously: "POW!!"

    Yeah...mine I bought as a "smoothie" and have been trying to rework it since 2010. I can't stand the inaccuracies, so it drives me absolutely nuts until I correct it. That also means having to find accurate decals as well too. I really wish round2 would just do a new kit this size, but better accuracy. But I'm betting the money's not there (amongst other issues).

    I ended up putting mine away after a brief stint today, trying to see if I could resurrect mine. The point where the pylons meet the hull is badly chewed up, i already replaced them once, and the rear of the secondary hull is tilting back slightly. So I don't want to have to replace parts again. Not to mention not having the decals to finish it... just not interested in trying now Not in a good mood right now anyways. I wonder if i still have a nice, big hammer somewhere for that piece of #$@%....

    What is that, a space herpie?!!!

    This is why I just watch each one really on its' own merits and enjoy them (or at least try to) for what they are. But that said, I like the various things they've done with both the TV and DYRL versions and enjoy both in equal measure. I also like M+ and MII, and yes, M7 as well! Frontier and Delta...not so much. They're okay, but just not my cup of Petite Cola (which reminds me...I have to make a Petite Cola machine in-scale for my factory workers in the Macross Armored Factory Diorama!).

    Guess they listen to Limp Bizkit "break stuff" when they fly
  22. pengbuzz
    True...very true. Now if we could just get that for Macross collectibles

    Utopia isn't an absence of conflict; in fact, conflict in of itself is not a bad thing. The matter is how those conflicts are expressed and handled that is part of a utopia. I and Seito, for example, can have a difference of opinions and have our views conflict without it becoming an all out war, or even a vehement argument. We instead can choose to exchange views and find common ground, working towards a common goal and trying to see the other side of the debate that doesn't get stalemated by relying solely on the expression of that difference. The problem is: when we think of conflict, we think of combat. And while conflict is defined as "a serious disagreement or argument", it does not have to devolve into combat, despite the original intent of the word before it's modern usage.

    And I can see why they would be upset: "advanced and professional" doesn't mean that people will automatically see everything "eye to eye". Professionals disagree on stuff everyday, due to varying experiences, as well as individual personas and whatnot: "your mileage may vary" really comes into play here. People aren't robots (well, Data is but we won't go there! :D), and even in utopia, unless everyone is brainwashed you have folks with minds of their own and differing backgrounds. One example that really comes to the fore here is Spock and McCoy. Even though they were TOS, if they behaved the way Roddenberry would insist for TNG , I think a great deal would have been lost. More on point, TNG episodes like "The Drumhead" (Adm. Satie on her witch hunt), "Chain of Command parts 1 and 2" (Jellico and Riker clashing ), "The Measure of a Man" (Picard has to defend Data's right to refuse being an experiment, and Riker has to work for the opposing team) are only a scant handful that I can think of at the moment. Imagine any of those being "too advanced and professional to disagree" (and I'm sure there are a lot more episodes that I'm neglecting to mention about now). Professionalism tends to be about the methods of disagreement and working together despite those disagreements (although there are times that to go along with something is not professional); Riker didn't deck Jellico when asked to pilot the shuttle, nor did Picard strangle Satie when she went loopy. Now that I think of it, Riker probably wanted to launch Shelby out a photorp tube for being such a ambitious pain in The best of Both Worlds, Parts I and II...

    I think that would actually lend credibility to it, as in real life, paint doesn't always exactly match on craft even on the fuselage.
