    I wish they'd stop releasing obscure Valkyrie variants and give us some iconic Zentradi mecha. Like the TV Queadluun-Rau maybe?

    Indeed. STILL waiting for the phalanx and Nousjasdeul-Ger.

    That Glaug pilot better start blasting immediately or turn off his audio. Or both. Min Mei is extremely dangerous.
  4. Podtastic
    Well if he's interested prehaps we can put that to the test at some point.

    Except that PO Madness Night is usually PO Calm Morning where I am.

    Well you cant generalise but for me that would be true. SDFM is my favourite thanks to introducing the awesome concept of the alien Zentradi, plus their cool designs, and the only thing I disliked in it was "Min Mei" What I saw of 7 seemed goofed to me.

    Yet ANOTHER Valkyrie. Where’s our remaining Zentradi Mecha Bandai?

    So where's the Scout and the Nousjadeul Ger then? Marduk? Vajara? Phallanx? Where are the goodies?
  11. Podtastic
    Cool. Wish Hot Toys would give us a General Veers.
  12. Podtastic
    Interesting. Any specificity on the superior technologies those zentradi goodies contained?

    SDFM , the best Macross, was a war drama.

    Oops sorry about that. Have you seen the new Predator movie? I'm a big Predator fan but that movie comes off as a rushed and disjointed mess.
  15. Podtastic
    I think you may be in the minority with these 2. Majority of reviews I've seen agreed with my own assessment after seeing these. The Predator had some nice visuals of the Pred (initially on the ship and in the lab) but that whole hybridisation nonsense was totally unnecessary. It closed off what was always left so open by the simple "thrill of the hunt" theme. Also the dialogue and "humour" seems to have been aimed at toddler level intelligences. And did our hero have to have his head chopped off/skull ripped AGAIN?

    The latest Star Wars and Predator flicks were savage disappointments so why should Macross buck the trend?

    Not that I know of. I was just responding to Jenius's question.

    Meaning of course if Bandai fail to make the remaining Zentraedi mecha in their HMR line, such as the Regult Scout and Powered Armours. The Zentraedi mecha are the main focus of my collecting in Macross so there would no point to continue watching the line in that case. (Really disappointing if that happens because I'm very happy with the Zentraedi releases thusfar.) If Zentraedi mecha are made in another line then THAT line will attract my attention.

    Podtastic replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    If they're not going to do Zentraedi mecha then I'm dumping HMR.

    Couldnt resist getting a few myself (going to repurpose some into standard heavy armour troopers).
  21. Podtastic
    And even though you are naysaying the concept, the scenario in your last paragraph is still way better than what they are serving up in this horrible comic. Not only is this comic not worth the money to purchase, its not worth the physical/virtual storage space it would take up even if it was free.

    That's not being without personality. My fave episodes of Clone Wars were those with just mainly the Clone Troopers and no/little Jedi. Did I dream the interactions between Myria and Khyron, Mririya and Azonia, Azonia and Khyron? Even Grel and Geraro had personalities. No I have not actually, I an painfully aware that others like the bog standard humans for some reason. But must I care? No the Odeons do have a sort of blaster. What do you mean either BTW, did all the Invid annihilation cannons get stolen? So how about we make the Invid mecha as they were depicted in the Prologue of the first RT novel - ITO size, armour etc ? I think the Invid can be made formidable with a few strokes of the pen. I got my fix in the Ashes of Empire fan fiction which was kind of what I was looking for. Although that ends up being mainly Zentraedi vs Zentraedi, but it was still such a pleasure to read. I also loved that harvester scene.
  23. Podtastic
    If you observe the interactions between the Zentraedi characters its clear that they are not unthinking zombies as is being portrayed . They're certainly no harder to identify with than a Japanese/American teenager. And alien character focused stories have been done before in other genres. This is a war story after all, I'm just wanting expanded scope and increased dakka rather than always being bogged down on the small scale in trivial relationships and gum-flapping.
  24. Podtastic
    Well I must admit to struggling with the notion that giant armoured soldiers fighting mechanised insectoid hive aliens is somehow more boring than earth humans in tights.
  25. Podtastic
    Remember that this is the Robotech Zentraedi, not DYRL Zentradi. Breetai, Khyron and Exedore do have character development in the RT lore. Myria most certainly has personality. Also no reason why any Zentraedi comander/soldier wouldnt develop a personality (if they survive ) as the Clone Troopers did in Clone Wars, given that they are essentially from human stock. It would just be in a purely military oriented context. As to fighting the Invid, well, the Invid adapt and evolve. They can adapt their mecha to fight giant antagonists just as the humies did. What they would really require is a huge numerical boost.
