    Colour me curious. Whats on that list of obscure mecha?

    Macross figures

    Niiice. I especially like the lilac and purple T-Rex Zentraedi.

    I always thought the trend was bigger and bigger foots... ...and forearms...

    Excellent! Bioroids vs Gosu is finally going to happen in 3D for me. Exitipated.
  5. Podtastic
    Is that Zaku 17.5 cm? Can you show it next to the Gosu or, if not, the HMR Regult. As is?

    Fascinating. Leaving the scarcity of Fold Quartz aside... Is there any technobabble way to combine the Heavy Quantum Reaction Gun and Dimension Eater technology? Imagine tremendous Zentraedi Mobile Fortresses equipped with Grand Cannon scale HQRG's where the beam is not only destructive of itself, but leaves DE over a wide area in its wake for yet further mass destruction. I have a dream.

    https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Zentradi. True. But interesting tidbits of lore etc are often dropped along the way. Like forevernever. I don't care what they did. Some fans take things too seriously, some even making death threats I hear. I on the other hand will just "I do what a f**ckng want." Even so, Thrawn seems to have made it, and he was the real prize from the EU anyway. Thank you kindly. Now we're talking. Never envisioned that, just gunnery stations elsewhere in the ship closer to the guns. Unfortunately? That's awesome! Zentraedi warships need this now!! So you could cross the long axis of the Laowon Imperium (Starhammer) in around 7 jumps, but are no competition for a Spacing Guild Heighliner (Dune). Its seems similar to how a Laowon Battlejumper does it.

    The one that says the Zentraedi had 2000 fleets of about 4.8 million ships. Pitting the most interesting factions from different genres against each other is fun though. Who hasn't wondered how a Zentraedi-Galactic Empire war would go? They're fun to read - until they degenerate into nitpicky arguments about what is and isn't canon. In universe. I'm just wishing for Bandai, or Studio Nui or whoever to fake it. The Macross Zentraedi versions of the Star Wars Sourcebook, Imperial Sourcebook, Technical Companions, Blueprints, Incredible Cross Sections, Guide to vehicles and vessels/Weapons and technology etc. Unless its Valkyries or idols in Macross. Yes I know. Canon yesterday, not-canon-today-we-have-a-new-direction-from-marketing, things-we-only-just-thought-of-will-be-retconned-as-canon-tomorrow. Canon-shmanon. Just as long as it were to be packed with interesting explanations and awesome cross-sections. High level, and missing the complete process. Where do the fold drives come in, how does the weapon itself work e.tc. I'm talking about a step-by-step detailed explanation of the whole process from powering up to firing, with diagrams and cross-sections. Something inspiring you can pull out and read at 02h00 am and be rejuvenated with energy. Is that confirmed? Those aren't just coms stations communicating with the actual gunners? Rather vague. What is the maximum range a standard fully powered Thuverl Salan can fold in one "jump", fold faults notwithstanding? A few kiloparsecs? A few megaparsecs? A few gigaparsecs? Unlimited?

    Wiki is wrong then ? How disappointing. Five thousand fleets at = or > five million ships apiece is impressive. And nice to pull out in versus debates. It would be nice if some kind of table of organisation existed. Its frustrating that so much interesting technical and other information for the Zentraedi just isn't there. There are no detailed warship cross-sections like we have for Star Wars and Star Trek, there is no comprehensive explanation for exactly how the main gun is powered, no imagery for what the gunnery stations look like, no information on how far a warship can theoretically fold e.t.c.
  10. Podtastic
    Is there any reason not to expect at least theoretical standardisation in terms of fleet strength and composition? This is kind of the same idea I had for the Zentraedi ship complement back in the 80's, albeit also with large numbers of infantry stored. When I proposed this to a friend he responded: "You mean...packed in like sardines? You're inhuman." Hence I thought the mecha and troop complement could be increased somewhat.
  11. Podtastic
    Not a fan of that shade of blue for Spidey.
  12. Podtastic
    Are there any figures for the maximum total numbers of Zentraedi ships, mecha and troopers the Zentraedi had at the height of their power? Roughly, as I expect this would be a constantly moving target due to all the manufacturing/cloning and attrition.
  13. Podtastic
    If the Nupetiet-Vergnitz length were increased to 36 km rather than a mingy 4km, and all other dimensions in proportion, would it be able to house the troop and mecha complement? I hate the notion of less troops and mecha/ship. In fact I would prefer more. Would the coaxial heavy reaction quantum cannon (?) not also be much more powerful at this size? What exactly, if any, is the relationship between the fold drives and this weapon?
  14. Podtastic
    Perhaps, as with the mecha, they should have made the ships much larger. What sizes should those ships be for the mecha/troop complement to be realistic? Would storing troops in micronised stasis, and mecha in modular disassembled state, help at all?
  15. Podtastic
    Who knows nowadays where right is wrong and wrong is right. History is no longer being taught properly, holocaust denial is a thing and communism/socialism is slithering into the open.
  16. Podtastic
    And I bet there are no humans! I used to love that about Beast Wars. Just need some good eats to go with the viewing.
  17. Podtastic
    Aha, you have alerted me to a potential new series to watch! Is it good? is it CG or cell?
  18. Podtastic
    This. Interesting...I wonder if Gil Gerard will appear in an episode the way that Buster Crabbe appeared in the tv series.
  19. Podtastic
    You object to his character or you have a Marvel meh list?
  20. Podtastic
    I wanted the Dark Troopers from the Dark Forces game. These clunky angular automatons are an easy pass. Looks like its coming out this year, unless my last payment on the payment plan is going to be MASSIVELY postponed.
  21. Podtastic
    The only existing kit I know about is the Red. Finding a Blue or a Green kit elsewhere will be a trick, I've only ever seen a promo pic of a Blue from a very long time ago. I've never even found a build of one on the net. I have the SOL Red Bioroid Kit and, as others have said, its not great. It doesn't have an integrated ball joint system and does not come with the flying conveyance (Bioroid Skysled).
  22. Podtastic
    Sounds terrible. But unless they also killed tens of millions of their own people in forced labour camps after obliterating their individual/ property rights, they still haven't reached @#communist level yet.
  23. Podtastic
    Is this a reference to a third series?
  24. Podtastic
    Thanx for the update on Roy. I'm still having to wait for our borders to open for them to be able to ship Dana, so I'm not fussed. Is this in any way like hatred of those anti-competitive Big Tech gangsters? Because that I get completely.
  25. Podtastic
    I mostly agree with this, except that when I watched I thought some of the animation was actually good in few scenes. But it was a total waste. The story, characters and new mecha designs just didn't work for me.
