    So I finally got my copy of James//Bond from X-Transbots. I'm not a huge TF collector, and less so 3P figures, but Punch is my absolute favourite character so I had to have him. Tight. Everything on this toy is so. Very. Tight. Every joint, every panel, every tab is frighteningly tight and makes me hold my breath every time something makes a noise that I'm not expecting. I don't have a spudger so I made do with a plastic comb, 'cuz there's no way my fingernails would survive trying to separate these panels! I've made it as far as sliding the chest sides up, but there's the teeniest bit of interference with the shoulder pieces. The plastic is just that fraction of a mm too thick and the chest isn't sliding properly into place. I'm taking a breather before attempting again. Anyone else run into this issue?

    I will never not be mesmerized by the pink goo The urge to poke it would be nigh-inescapable. 🤭

    I played the demo and it's awesome. Not a groundbreaking game by any means, but it so thoroughly LIVES in the Robocop universe that I don't care. The devs got the details right, and I'm amused greatly by how the HUD jiggles around with every thudding step. It looks and feels like it was made with fan's love and not an extruded and stamped committee product. I'm slow on my gaming and haven't gotten to Phantom Liberty yet, but after that I'll jump right into Rogue City.

    YOU say just for funsies. I say for proper intergenerational scaling of mecha

    Dis looks GOOOOOOD!

    Now I'll never be able to unthink this when looking at the Pink Goo. I hope you're happy with yourself!
  7. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, what he said! This work is jaw-dropping amazing!
  8. CoryHolmes
    Truth. I really like the bulkiness, but something elegant got lost along the way.

    I am always mesmerized by the pink goo

    I imagine that's how lots of actors feel when filming effects-heavy sequences. I know I couldn't do it with a straight face. I'd be forever making the lightsaber vmm vmm noises with every swing 😂

    This... is... How big is the finished kit? And since this is a rather... older... product, do you see any differences from your more recent work, engineering or casting-wise?

    *pokes X-Transbots* C'mon, gimme my Punch Counterpunch toy already...

    Nay nay! THIS is peak Picard, at his awesomest. He's diplomatic. He's working towards peace. He's trying to bridge the gulf between two species so recently enemies. But he's nobody's fool, and he's NOT to be trifled with. The very definition of silk hiding steel.

    It's scary how much FUN this movie is. I'd dismissed it as another American military propaganda piece (which it is, make no mistake), but I was so entertained from start to finish. It hit all the right nostalgia notes (Rooster singing, the beach scene) and the new bits were just as good (stealing the F-14, Mav splitting the throttles), and love him or hate him but Tom Cruise is on *point* in this film. It was stupidly fun, and still is.

    Or that, yeah. Rule of Cool has been a thing forever and it has its place in shows of all types. ... ... ... spoilsport

    I haven't seen Ahsoka, nor do I have any interest in doing so. But is it just me, or is she Dave's "creators pet character"? 'Cuz it seems like she's shoe-horned into any story he's involved with to me.
  17. CoryHolmes
    No, the reason why is so people like us can argue, bicker, nitpick, and otherwise disparage each other's head canon explanations! Imma stick with my knight-in-shining-armour theme, tyvm. It makes total sense after the Rain of Death!
  18. CoryHolmes
    I've always excused the blingy armours as a direct reaction to the Rain of Death. These people have taken on the roles of knights in shining armour, a symbol for the citizenry that law and order have returned. Does it make sense? Engh, kinda not really. But it's enough for me 😊
  19. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, the open cockpit modes are usually for travel or very long-range bombardment. I also head-canon it as the fully-enclosed cockpit had teething issues in development (like the F-35s helmet display) and the tankers were promised that it was getting fixed Soon (tm).

    I am too poor. *emptypockets.gif*

    Same toy with a different pilot's name tampo printed on the nose, I'd bet.
  22. CoryHolmes
    *don'tgivemehope.gif* It does look rather tall and skinny in Tank and Guardian modes, doesn't it? But it's Battloid mode is pretty decent. The curse of trying to make a poorly engineered and even more poorly animated design into a 3D object, eh?
  23. CoryHolmes
    I want it, but I can't have it
  24. CoryHolmes
    Hmm. Someone's been copying from Halo's notebook, but trying to change a few things so the teacher doesn't catch on.
  25. CoryHolmes
    Ahem. I think you meant, "Southern Cross" 🤭
