What bothers me is that they made a CGI model for a robot that looks an awful lot like Jazz that turns into a car that looks an awful lot like Jazz then named him after a prominent Season 1 Autobot that is NOT Jazz.😒

And we can never forgive Bay for turning Jazz into "that guy that said two sentences and then got murdered by Megatron".

...

Then bringing Megatron back from the dead multiple times and leaving Jazz to rust.

Xenogears is my favorite 3/4 of a game!

It's funny because it's true!

Anyone see that title and think it was a laxative or acid indigestion relief product?

Yeah, pretty much.

It suddenly occurs to me that the Q-Rau having some form of inertia management makes it somewhat more impressive that Max managed to match Millia in a VF-1 that doesn't.

No one did, that's the problem with Southern Cross merch in general.

Hasbro also did their own version of Starscream from the video games.  I think they did repaint him as Skywarp and Thundercracker.  They're small, Deluxes.

Can confirm, I own the Skywarp of that mold.

On the head or the chest?

Yes.

I only played solo, but I've heard tales of how hilarious Jedi Knight multiplayer was. Because if you had a lightsaber out, you HAD A LIGHTSABER OUT. Collision detection on the blade was always active, so you could rush someone just standing there doing nothing, walk into his blade, and get murderized by someone who was actually AFK.

Well, hopefully the alternate mold parts make for a really good Monstructor to offset the really bad Dinobots.

Not at surprised about his view on the LA CB. He seemed very polite about working on Macross + with The Floating Head. Too Polite, IMHO (because that's the only mention of SK in SW's interview). I am looking for dirt that doesn't exist?

It didn't read as any sort of disgruntlement, perhaps aside from "yes, I was director on Macross Plus, but really Kawamori was". And even that was tempered, with it being clear it wasn't because Kawamori was particularly antagonistic, just very enthusiastic and involved.

I suspect it would be hard for one anime director to begrudge another for just wanting to make cartoons instead of overseeing them.

Dang. That's a really impressive Tarn for Hasbro.

It really is interesting, and a little bizarre, how fold quartz has become a swiss army molecule to the writers of Master File. 

Minovsky quartz.

I think that head looks less like Megatron and more like Kup.

They tried in comics, but without a good sucess

Wait, seriously?

I'm surprised they tried, and disappointed nobody told me.

See, my line of thought is when a human enters the mainframe, they are fully digitized, gaining the appearance and traits of a program. For all intents and purposes, they ARE a program.

When they leave and are de-digitized, they are reconstructed as normal humans.

This implies that a program would be analoged and reconstructed as a normal human in normal human clothes(thank goodness they won't show up stark naked).

If they bring The Grid with them and digitize the world... well, that's still a win since it implies everyone gets to have cool Tron powers!

But it does raise the severity of the "Rinzler's a jerkface" problem. 

BRING BACK DINOSAUCERS, YOU COWARDS!

Oh, and as for the question of who’d win a dogfight, Max or Isamu… luck is one of Isamu’s skills. 

Based on all canon evidence available, it would likely end with Max proposing to Isamu.

If they're going to do another Tron movie, I'd like to see the Tron universe invade the real world en masse (Such as maybe this Ares deciding to hunt all the users in the real world).

That would end poorly for the invaders, when their superpowers and rayguns meet real-world physics and they're suddenly and unexpectedly just a bunch of dudes in LARP gear.

It kinda ruined Legacy when I realized the easiest solution to their problem was just "let Rinzler win". He portals out of cyberspace and becomes a wet sack of meat and bone. He ain't conquerin' the world like that.

Not only does the spoiler work, but the doors open.  And in a refreshing change of pace, they don't just open on robot kibble... there's seats in there, and you can fit Viviane inside. 

Very nice!
That's almost as rare as a jetplane that doesn't have a robot hang-gliding under it.

• Produces an active stealth effect by phase shifting it slightly from normal space using amplified fold waves, making it difficult to detect with radar and laser detection systems.
• Illuminates the surface of the aircraft.

I'd love to see the sales pitch there.

"Hey, boss! This new system makes us virtually invisible to radar and lidar. It's almost a perfect stealth system..."
"But?"
"It makes the fighter glow in the dark like a giant lightbulb? No one uses visual sensors, right?"

No PS5? It's 2023 now, BW. 

Guess it's a good thing that I didn't sold my PS4. 

I thought the PS5 was close to 100% back-compatible?

Anyway, I like the articulation the kit imparts to the arms, and one wonders why Hasbro couldn't have just designed it this way themselves.

They could've, but it would've exceeded the budget for the class.

I'd've rather they made him a Voyager, but they didn't ask me.

Comes down to the pilot's..Max vs Isamu 

I don't know who would win, aside from the audience.

I've been to two different ones (and a Walmart) last weekend.  Unless you wanted Coronation Starscream (or the Walmart-exclusive Kingdom repaints) they were pretty much empty of Transformers entirely.

"Pretty much empty" is typical here.

My Targets finally got rid of Coronation Starscream. I don't know how, because they clearly weren't selling that shelf-load.
