I've almost grabbed First Strike Prime a few times. I keep realizing that, even if I like the paintjob, I STILL don't like the underlying design. And I'm still waiting for another Shockwave. A man can dream.

Primus dammit... now you're making me want one.

*blinks* DE CULCHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same. I was fortunate enough to have a cash infusion bucks come my way at the right time to preorder it, given I was a kid with no job.

The Animeigo release is about the highest quality possible, given the source. DVD passed the limits of the original film grain, and Animeigo actually had to add film grain back in after they restored it.

Ummm.... the Mac Plus DVDs have TWO SEPARATE SETS of subtitles. Depending on whether you select english or japanese audio, it selects a set of subtitles to match. Which line? I don't recall that issue. I remember V1 of the first OVA disk had some severe issues. That could've been part of it. Not that I think Manga did a great job with the franchise(I'm STILL waiting for them to do the movie DVD right), but...

That was a Robotech-ism. In real Macross, they all live. BOMBA! That's likely, actually. They injected Minmay and Sharon Apple, and even Mac2 for some reason, into Mac7.

Mao showing up in Frontier is stretching credibility a bit, really. Unless she was on Macross Island and caught up in the fold accident, she probably got toasted in the final battle of Space War 1. Of course, they DO have jets that completely seperate into multiple parts during the transformation, so...

Relativity experiments involving event horizons.

2 "words"... ZOMG RARE!11111 Seriously. Game collectors will pay absurd amounts of cash for anything if it's rare.

I repeat: Good ol' Chromedome.

Good ol' Chromedome.

You can use 3 extra remotes as "trance vibrators" for 3x the fun! Seriously, I dunno. Hell, I've had the DC disk image for I think 2 years now and never tried it out.

Only if he can pass on his skill of luck.

BOMBA!

Basara.

Shame he's not devious enough to hide his machinations long enough for them to work. He'd be more effective if he ACTUALLY killed Megatron instead of just TRYING to. Punch, on the other hand... was totally irrelevant to the US continuity. (I always thought that was a neat concept. But I think it was gone from shelves by the time I found out it existed.)

When comparing the Dancouga to Nova, any cheap shot is acceptable. Is that 32cm to the top of the head, the top of the wing/ear antennae, or the top of the back cannon? Not that it's a huge difference either way, but... Yah. I WOULD like to see some side-by-sides of the SOC Dancouga and the CM's Nova once it comes out. Just to see how they compare. The individual beast machines probably benefit a lot from the larger size. Especially given the Nova head unit is so much bulkier than the original Eagle Fighter to start with(that was the weakest part of the SoC by far, though they tucked a fair bit into such a small piece).

It almost seems like a Forgotten Worlds sequel.

Ahhh, good ol' Sega. Even if it WAS Sega Europe. Sega America ran similar ads at times.

SOC Dancouga = bigger. SOC Dancouga = cheaper. SOC Dancouga = better-looking. SOC Dancouga = not related to the horrible Dancouga Nova TV show. The choice is clear. Sorry, CM's

The RX-8 mold is the best, because it is Shockwave. I suppose Mirage was pretty good, from a technical standpoint. But he was not Shockwave.

My Slag's still in.... relatively good shape. By which I mean all the parts are still attached. Pretty much every last speck of chrome has been rubbed off at this point, the stickers are gone(he went in the swimming pool a few times), and the tail is a bit worn, but... by favorite childhood toy standards, he did good. Actually, most of my Transformers came out of things fairly well. Even still have a lot of the guns. I was an odd kid. I never noticed that on mine.

Heh. I'm biased. Slag was my first Dinobot, and for a long time was my only dinobot. Add to that the fact that triceratopseses were always my favorite dinosaur, and.... Slag could've been a Micromaster and I'd still think he was the best TF ever.

You did NOT just say that! Triceratops > *. By extension, Slag > *. Also not insultable is Swoop. Pterodactyls are ALMOST as awesome as triceratopses... triceratopsii... triceratopsen?
