I know there aren't canards on the Alpha, so I just mentally skipped over the nosecose entirely and was thus confused by the canard-discussion. I agree, they're beyond awful and whomever put them there should have his/her/its pencil snapped in half. And then into quarters, just to be sure.
Oddly, I've come to wonder why the Alpha/Legioss has landing gear at all. It's been established the groin thruster is enough to VTOL even without going into Guardian mode. Doesn't a powerful thruster like that make landing gear somewhat superfluous?

Dayum! That God of Flame paint job really does pop!

I've been enjoying these little crabbies:
I like how this shows just why the REF/UEEF forces had such a problem with the Invid. Designed to deal with the Masters and last remnants of Zentradi in space, they were wholly unprepared for the Invid swarm attacks.

Hey, Cap'n? Do you still have one of your 1/48th Alphas kicking around for scale with this beast?

Whaddya mean "different franchises"? Two of them are from the same show!

"Distinctive", sir. You're looking for the word "distinctive".

There is a possibility that you guys can actually find the correct links to these posts.
Okay, this cements my loathing and contempt for the JJ-Prise. There's no reason to MAKE IT BIGGER. The Galaxy-class is big enough for my needs, thank you very much.

Awesome, as per usual. I've taken an interest in machining channels on YouTube, so I'm beginning to get an appreciation for just how much effort goes into making each piece just right.
Speaking of, I notice a distinct lack of your usual kvetching about how difficult it is to turn 2D anime designs into 3D objects. Is that because the original design is better thought-out, or are you just numb to that kind of minutiae by this point and accept it as par for the course? 😂

Now they just need to bring in Patrick Stewart to yell "ATOMICS!!!"
I want an epic air-guitaring Stilgar atop a worm. The movie just won't be complete without it.

I'm sharing these vintage Robotech cardboard designs I made.
Enjoy it!
I do like them! I really really do!

But I don't like this. It's technically impressive and well-done, but it lacks the cleaner elegance of the original designs.

It looks to me like it has Godzilla eyes with a Kong body.

Couldn't be worse than Godzilla vs. Kong... 😫
Hey. It might have been stupid and moronic, but it was stupidly moronic fun! Godzilla 2014 is by far my favourite version, but even in GvK I was giggling like a child and having a blast.

Truth.

Yaaay! I can't afford this, but I will be following along intently!

It's easy to get swept up in cheap nostalgia - like the characters themselves are doing - but it's a fast-fading high that's quickly replaced with the realization that we're still watching a version of Star Trek so senselessly bleak that even the characters themselves are indulging in escapist reminiscing about the "better days" when they were younger.
(Never mind that the writers had to bend over backwards and engage in more moon logic than any previous Star Trek story for these characters to be in any way relevant to galactic goings-on.)
You have a good point. But I'm enjoying this so much that I have to unleash my ultimate counter-argument.
*ahem*

I don't know if the producers are trying to distract the fan base from all of the season's flaws with that ultimate bit of Star Trek nostalgia, but if that's their intention with last night's episode it definitely worked on me. I don't think I've ever cheered or teared up like I did with the last episode in those last few minutes. I LOVE that freaking ship!
Between Top Gun Maverick last year and the big D this year, for once I'm glad to be an 80's kid...
Truth, truth, truth. It may be pandering, but by God I am here for that!
If I might be allowed to necro my own post:

But he said it SO MUCH BETTER HERE! In S1 it was more of a nostalgia thing, a "I used to do this here" thing. Here, it's because he is BACK! No more the Admiral in an office, waiting for his time to die. This is the man picking up where he left off and ready to save the galaxy again. His voice was stronger, and I swear he stood a little straighter before sitting in his chair. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Captain has returned.

I'd be OK with that explanation had Star Trek not established on multiple prior occasions that repeatedly cloning the same individual leads to fatal genetic degradation in a lot shorter timeframe than what we've seen for the identical Soong family history.
I am aghast! I dear say, aghast, my good sir! How dare you bring up a thing like canon into Star Trek, a franchise famous for tossing out plot points before the episode is even done???
That being said, you have a good point. I think I'll have to stretch my theory to its limits and say that Arik Soong was just that damned good at genetics that he's left the Federation behind.

In fairness, I get the impression Dr. Soong skipped Ethics 101... or took it in the mirror universe accidentally. He's got a long history of morally dubious decisions.
13 hours ago, Seto Kaiba said:The majority of the members of the Soong family we've seen in Star Trek to date are kinda... either insane, murderous, or murderously insane.
This is because I'm convinced that every member of the Soong family have been clones of the original, Arik Soong. He was the geneticist who worked with the Augments, so he's got the knowledge and the arrogance to make it work

I don't mind Filoni's stuff bleeding into everything Disney is doing with Star Wars these days,
See, I'm just the opposite in that I can't stand Ahsoka at all. It reeks of Creator's Pet Syndrome to me, and I feel the same way about Thrawn in any appearance other than the Heir to the Empire trilogy.

Patience, gentlemen. The Master seems more interested in pursuing Macross or Mospeada projects for the moment.
Save your pennies in the meantime, so you're ready when the time comes! 😇
But what if I've already scheduled his surgery???
5 minutes ago, Anasazi37 said:Indeed he did. I have one, currently unbuilt, and it takes up an entire storage tub in my hobby room. Also weighs a ton because it's solid resin except for the cannons, which are PVC pipes.
You know it's a chonky boi when portions are made out of PVC pipe

I want it, but alas I'm a poor boy at the moment.

Either of those projects will have me selling organs, my house, my firstborn, and my immortal soul. Well, more like my brother's organs, house, kid, and soul. I need mine preferentially.

Still think the Legioss should recess into the Tread a little more. Make them look more like a single flying unit.
Kinda more like this, eh?

True, and I guess they still count as an emergency backup in case everything else fails.
