Because he's making a valid point, and you as a Robotech fan need to accept the fact that he's right, and that you're cartoon of choice is an anachronism with no future. The sooner you except that, the sooner you can get on with your life. It's nothing to be ashamed of, this kind of thing happens to a lot of people, Just look at how many people actually thought HD DVD's where going to be a viable format.

but, it's a COOL non-transforming generic space plane!

if it is a fixed pose figure, make it look GOOD. I own yamato PVC figures and they make some good stuff, they have no excuse to make something shitty.

part 1 had a sex scene, a really trippy as hell sex scene. I think that's the biggest problem with Part 3 (besides the horrible in-between animation) is the lack of sex. I have no idea what this has to do with itano being a jerk but I love Megazone 23.

oh, I'm sure you are... giggity.

wait, looks neither boring nor desperately trying to be deep and introspective, how the hell is Oshii involved in this? this looks f'ing sweet.

Oh but it is as cool as it sounds! (will not be held responsible for any physical injuries or soiled undergarments resulting form these videos). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lu8RwvnJpM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3Fl4P6OTU

got my shipping notification but my tracking number isn't working yet. OH MY GOD THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!

doubt it will ever happen. Nobody buy's character figures that aren't of pretty girls and have removable clothing.

that illustration is really cute. do you have a larger scan?

no email from HLJ yet but I got a charge authorization call from my CC company this morning. checked HLJ just now and it says it's processing, should be here in a couple weeks... oh my god I can't wait!!!

So exploitation is fine as long as it's also misogynistic and sexist. gotcha

Well first, the law's of thermodynamics have to do with conservation of energy, transfer of energy to do work, and usable energy lost as heat. You're thinking about Newtons laws of motion, namely the second law (for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction.) Anyways, yes latching onto an asteroid would be an unstable firing platform because it would be moving, but so would the mech if it's just out their floating in space. By attaching to the asteroid the mech effectively increases it's total mass, and therefor it's resting momentum. so when the gun fires, the recoil force has has more momentum to overcome before it causes a change in movement to the mech+asteroid combo. in space any force will cause an object to start moving because of the lack of friction, but a relatively small force will make the object move much slower. As for blocking his filed of view, maybe. But the big 'ol asteroid, is going to to make a fairly effective shield for from fire on that side and provides a moderate amount of camouflage that would be lacking if the mech was simply floating in space. Ideally, you'd want your sniper mech to be anchored to the deck of the carrier it deploys from with a Bigger gun to allow it to hit targets from the considerable range the carrier would be from the actual fighting. the poo would be a much more stable platform to fire from, being both orders of magnitude more massive and therefor more resistant to recoil forces than the asteroid, and being equipped with it's own engines and maneuvering thrusters allowing it to compensate for the recoil forces exerted on it. The problem with this though is that the mech pilot is mow far removed from the action of the battle. This would be fine in real life but in the context of a show it removes the pilot from the drama and tension of the fight. it's good tactics but not good storytelling or film making.

Don't forget giant rats and SPACE SATAN! Go Korea!

oh pete...

maybe, what would you have in mind?

I'd buy a X-9. I'd actually say that with the right gimmicks and accessories it could even be worth as much as a valk. It needs to come with super parts, an opening ventral missile bay, and you know what... I want the orbital booster with electable outer casing. a V-9 would be fine two

ok, that is officialy the coolest thing ever

Holly sh*t on a stick!!! you're so right, having sh*t on it's wingtips TOTALLY makes it a rip off of the VF-2SS! The VF-2SS's wingtip kibble is completely unique and hasn't been done all over scifi for decades. DAMN SK for ripping off Ohata's BRILLIANT innovation. [/sarcasm] :edit: This really IS related to Robotech by the way. This argument is pointless and totally irrelevant but it just wont go away, just like Robotech!

But all the other burrito shops are further away chipotle. and besides, I'm a white consumerist whore so I have to default to chipotle for my burrito fix.

I think it's mostly the long, barely coherent RAAAGGGEEE rants and the evident inability to properly express his feelings. Also what is with these car analogies. I don't see where there's a valid comparison between a $200-$400 toy and a vehicle which cost 50-100 times that much.

the one near my house closed at least a half hour ago. DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

ok, if you're going to try and draw any comparisons how about you at least compare apples to apples (or line art to animation rendering as the case may be) yeah, I don't see it at all. there's nothing on there that I don't find to be typical SK design elements. the big guns are more a throw back to the original strike pack, the mid-wing nacelles are elements he loves to use (VF-4, VF-14, VA-3, VF-27, a tone of his non-macross stuff). the delta wings of the VF-0D. the only part that hasn't been seen on another VF before are the boosters on the wing tips which look more like throwback to his work on cyber formula. and for the record, the SAP parts don't "hug" the fighter, they hump it

hard to say, I'd definitely be interested if they made one though.
