In the Transformers Super Thread 3, there was discussion of whether or not they would make a Masterpiece Megatron.
I would personally love to see Takara engineer a transformation scheme for Megs as an H&K Socom

Oh man this is great, LOL.
Someone on the toysdaily board had some fun with swapping heads on the Minmay & Hikaru photo frame with some Sota Street Fighter figs

from what I've read Feng Zhu did the mech designs. I guess he's formerly of ILM and recently did designs for the Island. For you VFX heads, I guess he teaches at Gnomon also.

"Thus, since the fuselage and wingroots are sloped, the wings have to be sloped as well or it can't transform"?
Are you talking about the toy not being able to transform, or real world physics on a real world plane if the YF-19 did exist.
David, while I can appreciate your passion for aviation, especially in the model forums, I'm getting a little frustrated seeing your daily "not accurate" manifestoes in my favorite Toy and Transformers threads.
The 19 is a transforming toy. It's not a Radio Controlled airplane. It doesn't really need to fly.
Please ease up a little bit on being an armchair Mech and Toy designer.

they added a 2nd review to the link I posted
this one's a worse review than the 1st
-
Well Kawamori is going to have to approve it before it goes into production, right?
Granted, he has made some lame calls lately (VF-0A colors, Masterpiece Starscream)...
but if the wing length, angle, sloping, anhedral, blah blah blah is good enough for him, then that should be the final word.
Just don't let him do too many bong rips before he evaluates
p.s. David, are you in the Aerospace industry? I'm just curious where all your authority about aircraft is coming from.

ok there's finally a review by someone:
-
From what I've read, the R/C Tachikoma was for a press conference and there are no plans to release it as a product

While there's all this debate about realism of Transformer's alternate modes, I'd like to discuss the whole "Robots In Disguise" premise.
I find it amusing that the whole "Robots In Disguise" pretty much went out the window when they introduced Metroplex and Trypticon in the G1 Line. I mean, these guys were friggin cities that transformed into robots.
like i'd be driving and go "hey, i don't remember there being a city here!"
"huh, i don't remember seeing it yesterday"
"oh well, I must be remembering wrong...nope you're not a robot...yup, you're definitely a city"

You honestly have to ask if Takara will repaint that? When they re-released the G1 seekers, they made clear ghost THUNDERCRACKER in addition to "ghost" Starscream. And Sunstorm. And clear Sunstorm. And black Starscream. And TV-color Starscream. And I think clear black Starscream. When they do a half-dozen non-canon repaints of a mold, you can bet they'll do the canon ones.
And c'mon---they made "unarmored Ultra Magnus" from MP-01.
Not making SW and TC would be like Yamato not making Max and Milia's VF-1J's once they had done Hikaru's...
Also, Takara likes making black repaints of everything. Even if they do no other repaints, they'll do a black one. And Skywarp is already SUPPOSED to be black.
Even if for some unfathomable reason "the king of repaints" decided not to do Skywarp, they'd probably do "Black Starscream". Which is pretty close. And considering the pinky colors used on MP-03, it'd be REALLY close to SW lavender.
I hope you were exaggerating a little bit because AFAIK there was never a clear ghost Thundercracker, Clear Sunstorm or black Masterpiece Convoy. I'll be pissed if there is, because that's more stuff to hunt down.
Skywarp and Thundercracker are no-brainers and if they do Sunstorm it'll probably be an e-hobby or Japanese fan club exclusive. Any color past that I'd have to guess would be a Lucky Draw color.
I don't think they are going to milk the colors as bad now that it's TomyTakara.
For example, look how much they repainted the Subaru Wrx in the Binaltech line and how often new Binaltechs were being released before. The last two were Skids and Broadblast and they were released last november.

I thought that was the USS Flagg! Those things were so awesome, my friend had one when I was a kid and it was freakin' great! Man, to find one of those on ebay would be nice, I want one for my kid. I just fear that it'd cost about as much as a used car.
well here ya go....only $950.00 with 7 hours left
and to think it was less than a $100.00 twenty one years ago
