    Oh, absolutely. Even the creators made note of this, but excused it by saying that the one-eyed Spartan whom was telling the tale didn't "let reality get in the way of a good story". Of course he's going to skew things in Sparta's favour, emphasing the great warriors and vilifying the enemy. I know they didn't have a giant troll-like creature to fight for them, but it does make for a good yarn Which is why I'd like to see the tale told in that style from the Persian's perspective. Could be fun stuff.

    Actually, the first film was rather accurate, even if certain... "liberties" were taken with the details. I rather enjoyed the first one for what it was and I'm cautiously optimistic about this film. Of course, I had it my head that a proper sequel to 300 would be to tell the story of the Persians from their perspective. As much as the one-eyed Spartan skewed the story in his campfire tale, I'd like to see this version skewed in the favour of the Persians. So instead of large, open-plain battles against Spartan Supersoldiers, the Persians fought against hordes of their mooks while the Spartans held back in their phalanx formation. Instead of being a deformed mess rejected, the traitor was instead a defector against Spartan decadence, doing the right thing in helping the Persians out...

    Any ideas when MP Soundwave is released here in NA?

    You know the one figure I'd love to see? A new Punch/Counterpunch. A figure with two separate vehicle modes and two separate robot modes? SOLD SO HARD!!!

    Drunk of his gourd, but very very successful at making money. I wish I could make a product that earns 0.000000001x what his do.

    So I guess that makes you A giant fan of theirs.

    Now THAT is some toys I'd like to see! (Plus a new Fort Max)

    So now it's TFC, UT, and MMC whom are all producing Predakings? Yuck. Talk about over-saturating the market. How about some non-combiner love? The upcoming headmasters are neat, but I'm all combinered out.

    Or Onslaught.
  11. CoryHolmes
    Yeah But I let that blatant fanservice shot go uncommented because it was filmed from Sam's perspective, and of COURSE he'd be checking her out

    I gotta admit, the one thing that Michael Bay can do (better than blow sh*t up, of course) is make cars look GOOD. He got his start directing car commercials, and it shows. I mean, the first scene of BB showing up in his reformatted concept Camero, with Sam and Mikela standing in the tunnel... *drools* I wanted one after that
  13. CoryHolmes
    Isn't Stephen Spielberg the one whom insisted that there be emphasis on the humans and Sam's relationship with Bumblebee?

    I know But they DID set the story and were hella entertaining to boot. That Destiny trailer... just some dudes standing around and shooting at other enemy dudes while a real dude is reciting a poem to some possible little dudes? Fail.

    Once again, I must be the contrarian and say that I like the Bayformer designs. Sure, they don't have the G1 nostalgia, but they have a charm all their own. Except for Optimus' mouth. That @)*! has to GO.

    I love the mecha design of ZOE, especially Jehuty... from the waist up. When it comes to the cockpit.. no. Just no.

    I was decidedly underwhelmed by this video. If you're going to give us a non-gameplay trailer, then at least do it with the style that TOR did, okay?

    That's why I specifically stayed away until the beta was done. I didn't want to complain about how it "used to be so much better" Still having good fun and almost ready to join a corp and get into the nitty and gritty of New Eden . Will I need a microphone for that? Ugh. That's almost as bad as the dog always staring at me...

    I specifically bought a PS3 for DUST 514 and I'm loving every minute of it I expected a Halo-esque shooter and not something as deep as what I got. I love that I can use all weapons with some skill but if I what more I have to put points into it. Reminds me of Mass Effect 1 and the joy I had in making my skills better )

    A guy I used to work with is named Fuk U. It goes without saying that he goes by Frank

    Respectfully, I have to disagree. I can accept that 25-30 years of time has made for some bumpy transitions, and Robotech was never the most cohesive cartoon around, but I liked what we were given because it was what made Robotech its own story, funky mecha names and all. Macross has done well over the years, far better than Robotech has languished, but despite the commonality between the first generation of animation, it's a vastly different story and feel. Much darker, much more of a downer ending in each story than in Macross/Southern Cross/Mospeada. Add to that all the childhood nostalgia of growing up with the Veritech/Excalibur/Radar-X names and all the stories my brother and I and our friends would make up... Dammit, I'm old(er) and you kids get offa my lawn! *rock rock rock*

    Any add-on set for Ultra Magnus is going to have to measure up to Fans Project's first armour set. IIRC, that was the first real GOOD transforming 3rd Party toy, correct? Either way, it still set the bar so high that it'll be hard to match it.
  23. CoryHolmes
    Battlecry. Pfft. My brother and I are splitting Showdown, baby! With extras and bonuses and more toys, oh my! ... now, I wonder if his wife realizes that we'll be taking over their living room to assemble and paint these...
  24. CoryHolmes
    Is there anyone someone can photoshop the pre-painted kit into the 1/10 version? I need to know if I'll need a new cabinate to display it with my Cyclone

    There was no comparison meant at all. As I said, I haven't seen it yet beyond that teaser so there's nothing to compare TO. All I said is that the title cards reminded me of the title cards used in 2001. That's it. Any further comparisons will have to wait until I've actually seen the film.
