Bowling scmoling, you'd better get yourself a good helmet.

I have to disagree with this statement. Mechs of that size would be able to go places a jeep couldn't. I doesn't take much to stop a wheeled vehicle and the current gulf war has taught the army just how vunerable helos are. I can't really speak for the Gasaraki but the scopedog can carry a buttload of heavy weapons. The whole point of a feasable small mecha would be to provide a significant military resource that could go places a light vehicle could not, while at the same time possessing more advantages over conventional infantry that can go anywhere. In this list of criteria would as be such oft-forgotten considerations like cost-benefit of the mecha unit, operational endurance compared to conventional units, unforseen vulnerabilites of an unconvetional humanoid mecha, worth of the mecha unit as compared to the combined arms of the military, etc. From where I stand, a realistic analysis of those anime mecha within the scope of our foreseeable future technological abilities would not provide a viable result. It's OK if we don't agree but to in my opinion the scopedog meets all of your criteria. It's capable of carring a multitude of weaponsystems. It's able to handle enviroments where conventional vehicles can not operate, including zero-G. cost is irrelevant to thics discussion since these are fantasy designs it's impossible to put a pricetag on them except to say that the fact that they exist in thier respective universes means that they must be cost effective to produce.

They treat it like a matter of national security. Are all Japanese companys like that? It seems to me like the new president is just a dick. The same time he popped up the QC went into the crapper and they quit talking to Graham. Personally I don't trust them anymore. I'll probably get the 48 GBP but not untill I've seen everyone elses.

Yes they are, took forever to get those hands on them. Finally took them off since everytime someone bumped the area, one or both would fall off. Cool! I thought so. I got one of my valks holding the sniper rifle from the HALO weapons pack. My goal is to get the rocket launcher fitted into the valk's hands. i'm not sure how big the grip for the gun is but have you tried using the TV hands? or even super-poseable hands? cause they'll probably fit and hold it pretty tight. just a suggestion. Actually after forcing several objects not meant for Valkyrie hands on my 48s I can say with athority that the skeleton hands are better for for this sort of thing. You can strech them a little. The fat hands dont give at all.

WTF!

I've been wondering, what happens to the pilot of a legioss in armo-soldier mode? Does the cockpit right itself like a VF-1 or does he just hang there on the back sitting upside down untill all of his blood rushes into his head?

Those damn Russkies! We Americans would never do anything like that! (MG-42 - M60) More like MG-42 and FG-42 had a baby named M-60. But I won't tell if you don't.

If your talking about my pic, it goes from left to right, back row: 1/60 Hikaru 1A, 1/55 Hikaru 1A, 1,55 Hikaru 1S (TV), 1/48 Hikaru 1A, front row: 1/55 Hikaru 1J, 1/48 Roy Strike 1S. (sheesh, I didn't realise I liked Hikaru's 1A so much )

Hows this?

Just like everything Russian, it's design was ripped off from something else. the PANZERBCHSE39 (this one's been modded into a grenade launcher)

I don't have one but from the pic on Yamato's site I'd say that's a big negatory good buddy. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=365

Votoms mechs have wheels in thier feet. That's what makes em so dang practical.

And thier little cousin the Scope Dog from Votoms.

The combat armors from Dougram.

The more I think about it, I am not likely to buy any new destroids. I'm satisfied with my Matchbox 'troids. edited for bad grammar.

Does Fox even show anything other than American Idol? I quit watching any Fox shows along time ago. I don't remember that mech about SAAB except that after watching the last episode I knew it wasn't coming back. That really sucked. Now about those Cylon's wanting babies. You guys keep talking about Six and Boomer wanting to get knocked up. Did I miss something? How can robots have babies?

Opus if I may ask. What model minigun is that? I've been looking for one that good for a while now. That's from Takara Cool Girl series, the PAS trooper. It's still available, IIRC, from HLJ. It's a cool-looking weapon, but too darn big. My PAS Trooper is now with a MG39. The Takara version is a bit pricey you can get the exact same toy from BBI for about $50 less. I got mine here: http://www.allthingscollectible.com/index....d4a23f82445ec75 Her name is Destiny. BBI has stopped distributing them so you better get it while you can.

ASTA LA VISTA, BABY.

That pretty much sums up my fellings on the subject as well.

I remember reading that it was a simple case of Patrick Stewart looking better in red than mustard yellow.

Fang of the Sun.

In the old days, red = cannon fodder. Or Scotty. scotty was going to die anyways all the drinking he does He outlived Kirk. Yeah, but he couldn't yodel.

Yes as in covered in big ugly moles.

I'm all confused about the physical nature of cylons. I thought they were androids but the raider in the last episode had guts and not you guys are posing theories about cross-breeding with humans? I also don't uderstand what you guys think Boomer is so hot. She looks like a chipmunk and she's all bumpy to boot. Which bring me to another odd observance, why is the cast so moley? Ick....
