    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.

    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!
  9. 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 😊

    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.
  13. 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?
  14. CoryHolmes
    I want it, but I can't have it
  15. CoryHolmes
    Hmm. Someone's been copying from Halo's notebook, but trying to change a few things so the teacher doesn't catch on.
  16. CoryHolmes
    Ahem. I think you meant, "Southern Cross" 🤭

    How perfect for Robotech! I ran into that same problem with my larger Dana Sterling statue. Armour without helmet is just... not good.
  18. CoryHolmes
    Dana is going to live in her armour on my shelf. That stupid bodysuit is stupid.
  19. CoryHolmes
    Ah-HA! That's the mecha it reminded me of! The teeny chestplate in Battloid mode really does evoke the VF-2SS. Same slender, needlenose like pointy chest bit. That's a good thing, since I really like the VF-2SS. But I don't like this VF-1J any more. Fugly!
  20. CoryHolmes
    Still blech. At least it never skipped leg day...
  21. CoryHolmes
    I LOVE those Max and Miryia colours! Very vibrant.
  22. CoryHolmes
    's how I feel about 3P transformers as well. It's dizzying. And I do NOT like that VF-1J. It's fugly and hit every branch of the fugly tree on the way down.
  23. CoryHolmes
    Ugh. My least-favourite one-off designs.
  24. CoryHolmes
    It's gonna be HUEG!
  25. CoryHolmes
    And that's where head-canon comes in, so we can fix all those little niggling details to our hearts content
