    Been a while, but I thought that was at least half "Where the heck are they going with MY plane?" like he thought it was getting space-repo'ed and had no idea that variable fighters need regular inspection and maintenance.

    Also, even an unarmed thirty-foot robot poses an inherent threat to pedestrians.

    I'd hope not, with a highly-visible VF-19 for security. Kinda thing that makes people think twice about smashing a window and taking off with the TV.

    "Here's the plans for the new jet." "I think there was a problem in the transmission, we're missing some parts." "No, that's complete and correct." "There's no computer. At all." "Oh, don't be such a baby. The Wright brothers didn't whine because they didn't have a computer."

    He might activate Speaker Pod Gamma first. I know people like to feel the music, but there oughta be limits.

    Except the ones snagged by scalper bots. And the ones nVidia presold to buttcoin diggers.

    I hate myself for laughing at that.

    Meanwhile, I just want Bumblebee with a new head. Bug Bite's supposed to be yellow!

    Still 'spensive as hell, but it is on the upper limit of what I can justify to myself. If it wasn't Voltron, I wouldn't even consider it. As I've said before, I understand how the price tag wound up where it is, but it is a hard pill to swallow.

    And there was much rejoicing.

    The used reactants. Fuse two atoms of hydrogen, you get an atom of helium. Fusion does not destroy matter, though it does change it radically.

    What does it emit? It is possible. We've demonstrated that light and radio emissions produce thrust. But not really effective, as they generate only the tiniest amounts of thrust even at dangerously-high power levels(Steering by Death Blossom). Pulling exotic matter out of fold space could prove effective, but also expensive. And more than a little dangerous. (Steering by Project Orion) There's just no real good substitute for launching a lot of mass out the door at high speed. Not in reality, and as near as I can tell not in Macross either.

    Don't smoke while working.

    Part of me is just "Hell yes, I want all the things!" And then another part of me is just "Nope, we are not wearing a Silverhawks t-shirt out in public. I'd have to explain it, and I ain't explainin' no more 80s cartoons."

    Teaching engineers that someone has to work on their creations? You're doing god's work.

    You know? That would be a fantastic plot twist.

    Flash drives have been getting steadily larger and cheaper anyways. If anything, game consoles using relatively large, high-speed flash drives will drive prices UP, since there's now much more demand for a limited production of high-capacity, high-performance flash memory chips.

    Unless buttcoin surges again. Friggin' video card droughts...

    That's fair, and it is funny. (And everyone's spent the decades since wondering how robots even have brothers...) I didn't actually mean to be a wet blanket by pointing out the origin. It just happened.

    In fairness, that wasn't the fandom's idea. It is part of the original toy bios, and I think was referenced in the comics. The weird part is how Top Spin and Twin Twist became brothers. I guess if you're part of a two-man subline people are gonna make reasons up.

    That's... disappointing. C'mon, Hasbro, you can color-match at least a little better than that.
  22. JB0
    You don't mentioneit in your review, so I assume the yellow paint and plastic match better in person than they do under the camera flash?

    Destroying them doesn't seem to have been on their mind, if Delta's any indication. Build a battleship that can brainwash a galaxy, decide it is a bad idea, then sink it in fold space and leave the key in plain sight instead of "fill every open space in the thing with reaction weapons and drop the radioactive dust left over down a black hole". I think the protoculture operated under the belief that it was better to have a doomsday weapon and not need one than need a doomsday weapon and not have one.

    Heads to the toilet shouting "LISTEN TO MY BOWELS!!! No, seriously. I had all-you-can-eat ghost pepper enchiladas last night, and it was a mistake."

    That does explain nicely why they were wasting time on an uninhabitable ice planet. "Entropy control field" sounds like something that is useful as hell as well as, well, the kind of physics-breaking crap one would need to seal up something like the protodeviln.
