Haha I get the Dragonball Z and Gundam 00 references, but what is the translation behind it? If anyone can do a brief one that would be great.

http://tformers.com/transformers-botcon-20.../9352/news.html *yawn* Was Grimmy as a car really cool anyway?

Yep. All hail Kensei, who is not the biggest TF fan on this board. I heard it from Singapore.

I dunno if it's been mentioned already, but it's been confirmed that the next Masterpieces are Grimlock and Thundercracker. Hopefully, pics will be able to be found soon of them.

This looks very very close to one of the Astrays from Gundam SEED.

You rock. I'll be happy to sit back and wait. Hopefully they'll come with retrofit arms too, like the 1/60. That's the only good thing about the next 1/60 scale.

Really? I would have thought it was the other way around, I didn't know that the VT-1 head was THAT complex, but given your attention to detail, it probably is. Any plans on doing a Funny Chinese with your VF-1D as your base?

For the most part it would seem that the majority of the weapons are ineffective against the Vajra. I would like to see the later developments in weapons technology from the SMS, or rather Frontier research facilities. I wouldn't know how much research power they have to develop new weapons, after all, they are only there to test new stuff out, not make them. Perhaps though, they'll be the first ones to test new weapons out along the track! Hopefully we'll see a few things eventually, the VB-6 transform or at least get used, as well as the CF VF-25s and also the transformation of the 171s, and also some competent pilots use them too.

1. Usually shutting it away is a coping mechanism that some use to get over the tragedy, or at least to manage. 2. Perhaps they have a cover up? 3. Hope not, I was waiting for Frontier to go via the SDF:Macross route and waiting for Mikhail to hook up with a Vajra female

So far, Macross Frontier seems to be going a what if route. While there are many homages to the original, the result is usually the opposite. Like say Ranka losing the Miss Macross competition. I wouldn't be surprised if Ranka got to be a superstar like she dreamed of, but Sheryl got Alto instead. And i would think that Sheryl would grow up and become a lot more likeable.

I'm still waiting for a miniturised one-shot buster cannon for the VF-25. Man the amount of toys that would amount from this show!!!!!

? I thought that Exia's went kapow due to all the GN particles that were released after the mutual MS kill with Graham? I know that the pilots are alive (Graham for sure, and Setsuna very highly likely), but I really thought that it was the GN Drive that was destroyed.

So the radome is always on the RVF? Not a feature of the Augmentation packs?

Fantastic work. The VF-1D especially, you'll forgive me for not caring about the seat gimmick, but I'm impressed with how many parts you have retained from the original Yamato and how the D-head design is so well translated into the 1/48 scale. The Ostrich is great too. just wanted to ask, it won't be much of a challenge for you now to make the Elintseeker in terms of the base VF right? You just gotta design the actual armour.

I loved the little tributes to the original SDF:Macross. There was the elevator sequence of the VF-25 with Alto looking up gradually revealing his face from the shadow, and then the was the asteroid field where Hikaru had one of his first missions. I loved the little humor moments in this episode. I would like an explanation on what happens to KK when she is micronised though, cause looking at the other pilots, it seems to only effect her. I wonder whether its due to her a stuff up in the micronisation process. I hope that Mikhail has a sniper special 25, cause I would like there to be another version of the VF-25.

Gundam 00 looked cool though. Te head looks very similiar to the Freedom Gundam.

True. But that Wang Liu Mei, she is one weird nut. I wonder what the story with her is, and why she has such a faithful companion. The Jupiter mission I am interested in too.

Gundams are all generally good, I like the individual traits of the Dynames, Kyrios and Exia, but I hate Virtue and Nadleeh. I'm still wondering where this story is going to go though. Still not enough information on most of the Celestial Being crew.

Rounded Revoltech joints really suit the YF-21. But I still love the beefiness of the YF-19. And the way that it can brawl!

New Macross does down well with the phone turned off, doors and windows closed, big mojito, and DVD Recorder at the ready.

Rising steadily, that's good!

Funny how the style of colouring of the VF-25 follows a mix of DYRL and SDF:Macross. I do like the all blue though on Mikhail and also the all green scheme. The stripes on Gilliam's 25 just suits it, but I wouldn't mind seeing an all red one. Well, I'm glad that they are thinking of ways to release Frontier overseas, but does anyone miss the old UN Spacy logo? I kinda liked that better than the current SMS one. It's kinda boring.

Well the DX better be a bit bigger (but not too much). Cause you know:

Details look good (well as good as I can see it in a prototype made of modelling plastic) I wonder what the features will be. I still can't really see it transforming, I think they are still all non-transformable. It looks small too, even in the hands of a little old Japanese bloke like Kawamori. I hope that's the small of the releases that are planned.

F'KING SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
