    Transformers Super Thread 7

    - camo redeco of Classics Starscream named Acid Storm. Conceptually he appears to be based upon the Decepticon Rainmakers from the G1 episode "Divide and Conquer". His deco appears to be based upon a cancelled G2 camo redeco of Starscream.

    Wow. While I'm sure a lot of people may disagree with me on this one, I actually think this is a bit of a slap to the face from Hasbro. I don't mean to bring up the drama of last year's BotCon set, but Hasbro specifically stated that they gave the Con organizers Thundercracker and the other seekers SPECIFICALLY because they didn't think any further repaints of the Starscream mold would sell at retail. So a MADE UP green camo character/"never released G2 repaint deco of SS" is considered more profitable than F'ing THUNDERCRACKER?! I know they dug themselves into a hole by making TC an exclusive, but to release this nobody as a repaint just further rubs salt in the wound.

    Omega Supreme tended to be of broad of torso rather than fat. Guardian robots were much chubbier by design. The animation model was later recycled to be the Quintesson Dark Guardians during the birth of the rebellion on Cybertron.

    We assume that after driving the Quints off Cybertron, the DGs were reprogrammed into Guardian robots to protect everybody.

    I dunno man, those still look like poorly drawn Omegas to me. :unsure: I'm sure I could dig up loads of screenshots where characters have bizarre proportions and/or are drawn off-model. Fat or no, the Guardians and Dark Guardians were intended to look like Omega Supreme, which is why I'm loving the eHobby repaint. Hell the OS toy doesn't exactly look like the cartoon model, either.

    Yeah, but Guardian robots weren't in the original toy colour. Technically Guardian robots aren't carbon-copies of Omega Supreme, either. They were pretty fat bastards.

    Well, Omega is a pretty fat bastard to begin with. :p I blame that one on poor animation. They were obviously based on his design, though. Regardless, as a nostalgia nod (I hated the comics and preferred the cartoon growing up), I'm really loving this deco.

    "Aniplex and Bandai Entertainment will be bringing out the North American release of Gurren Lagann. To get this highly anticipated anime out to fans as soon as possible, there will be two separate releases. In July, August, and September, the entire series will be brought out in a bare-bones sub-only format, at nine episodes per DVD. This will be followed in the first months of 2009 by a more standard release, containing both the original Japanese audio and a completely new English dub. Scenarios for online distribution are also being considered."

    Sub for me, please!

    I unfortunately have an Intel Mac, so I can't help you out there. Though, it seems odd that MPlayer would crash as it does play fine on my machine, assuming the packaged binaries aren't functionally different. Have you tried the custom MPlayer Universal Binary found at AnimeSuki?

    Yeah, that was the most recent version I tried when you linked it before. :( For some reason, I immediately get this message when I load the file: "Abnormal playback termination." Or it just crashes. ::shrug::

    Ah well. At least the Gattai team was kind enough to offer up their subtitles as an .ass file separately. I downloaded that, renamed the file to that of my original raw and opened the raw in Quicktime w/ Perian...and it worked! Subtitles! YES!

    I'm still looking forward to AiA's version, since they seem to encode files in a way my machine can handle, but this will do for now.

    Uhh... h.264 isn't garbage, whatever you're using for playback clearly is though. Not every problem Mac users face can be blamed on a 3rd party, so ditch the smugness and do some troubleshooting.

    Wow, way to be a jerk. If you read my post again, I wasn't going off on a Mac vs. PC debate or whatever it is that you're insinuating. I was merely pointing out that I have had no problems with playing other files/ requiring more processing power in the past. I only mentioned I was using a Mac at all in hopes that someone would offer an alternative that wasn't PC-only to fix my troubles. But thanks for the rudeness.

    VLC for Mac sucks at h.264 playback, and quicktime is a big hunk of fail. Give MPlayer a try, I forget which version I have on my Intel Macbook but it played Gattai's first episode with no problems, not sure about the second episode, because that computer generally lives in the trunk of my car when I'm not working.

    I'm using a 1.8 GHz G5 with 2GB of RAM, and it HATES these h.264 files, whether I use VLC, Quicktime w/ Perian or MPlayer (hell, MPlayer immediately crashes when I try to load any of the Gattai files - and I tried 3 different versions of MPlayer last night). So, yeah, I think I have a problem with h.264. Any other types of video files play perfect on this machine. I spent hours researching this last night, and it certainly looks like I'm not alone in this frustration.

    It suddenly got slow for me, too. Anyway, I'm also having major issues attempting to play Gattai's Episode 1 on my computer, so I'm not sure why I'm even bothering at this point. As far as I'm concerned, this h.264 crap is total garbage. My mac handles massive files when working on high resolution graphics (my day job) with ease, yet I can't play back a simple movie file? One shouldn't need a super computer to watch a fansub.

    So far, Shouta, your version of episode one is the only fansub that works on my machine, so I hope you guys keep encoding your files the same way.
