    It's twice as good as mono-of-the-art sound. (Full disclosure: I ripped "with stereo-of-the-art sound" for a signature in a forum many years ago. It is memorable engrish.)

    Transformers in a nutshell, right there.

    I actually noticed that, though I didn't have the right words to describe it. They actually look like it was designed with the double-delta, then the armature that lets the wings rise up to spine level in creature mode got added, and that took up a lot of the front slope area. The wings were each left with a "fang" sticking forward to complete the outline, that was then cut off and rounded for child safety. You can actually see the change in wing slope starting right before they cut off. To my eye, the shuttle wing outline is still implied, though the armature gets in the way. I would've molded the forward delta into that armature. It doesn't look like it would interfere with articulation, and it would make the shuttle look more complete. Oh god... I can't unsee it. He's got spider-eyes now! It isn't the shuttle I would've made, admittedly. Honestly, I'm amused that they molded so much faux-tech detailing into a toy that would've been more accurate to the real-world inspiration if they'd just done it on the cheap with featureless flat surfaces like it was still nineteen-eighty-something.

    It is highly probable. I almost put an order in last night(there is exactly zero chance I will ever see this in stores, and it gets high enough on my interest to be worth actively ordering)

    Works for me. I'll rescind my complaint. He does look pretty fantastic. And has a good long tail too! (the CW one had a tail that was just long enough to remind you it should be longer)

    That's lovely. I still appreciate the actual NASA logo. And I adore that his shuttle mode has an actual name, and that it is the Magnificence. I am a little grumpy about the lack of either pair of three OMS thrusters in the top of the nose. I sort of feel it is an iconic part of the space shuttle's look(you know, after "white plane shaped like a stick of butter with wings"), there's so much OTHER detail molded in that isn't accurate to anything, and both the original and Combiner Wars Lynxes of the Skies have had both sets of three*. But I'll get over it. *And the CW Sky Lynx had 'em even though he wasn't even close to a proper space shuttle.

    Stores in my area still have mostly Siege stuff stocked. Also about half that amount of shelf space given over to Transformers in general.

    In fairness, that's not even in the top ten worst ideas a cybertronian has ever acted upon.

    Or 1/1?

    It sounds more like QWOP with seafood and weapons, honestly. It still sounds amazing, though. Even without the screenshot of a crab wielding a lightsaber. I've almost bought this developer's previous games("Ace of Seafood" and "Neo Aquarium - The King of Crustaceans"*) a few times, just for personality. Right now, at three and a half in the AM, I'm not sure why I haven't. *The latter's official short description is, incidentally, "YOU GET TO CONTROL UNIQUE CREATURES LIKE LOBSTERS, CRABS AND BARNACLES, IN A WILD WATER WORLD THAT EXCEEDS ALL HUMAN SENSE." The longer description begins with the phrase "TWO FISH ENTER, ONE FISH LEAVES." Capitalization as written on Steam. Those are direct copy/pastes with no editing.

    I'm suddenly interested in this cartoon.

    "What is Fight Crab? A game where you are crab, and you fight crab." Okay, I'm sold, game website.

    Obviously it is all a clever scheme so Motormaster can pay taxes for a 3-axle vehicle instead of 5-axle. The fiend! What foul depths will those decepticreeps sink to next?!
  14. JB0
    Okay, I'd DEFINITELY watch that. Basically Frame Arm Girls with a closer scale.
  15. JB0
    I'd watch Macross: Quantum Fold.

    I think there's still a chance Big West will use my proposal for Delta. They can make a show about one of those "covert" Valkyrie squadrons that they keep claiming exist that we never see. Angel Team, or Alpha Team, something like that. A small force with exceptional talents that handles exceptional problems. For narrative interest, it's a disgraced team. A mission went wrong, someone had to take the blame, and they were railroaded by the higher-ups, sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. The first episode, we see them breaking out of a military prison, stealing some Valks, and escaping. The rest of the series has them folding from colony to colony, one step ahead of the authorities, working to clear their name while doing random acts of goodness as mercenaries to make ends meet. Macross A-Team: Coming soon to a television near you.

    Caliber Wings has a valid SDF license through Harmony Gold, as well as a Robotech license. Only reason to not brand this one is an attempt to keep a low profile after the Zero kerfuffle. ... Unless they're talking to HG's lawyers right now.

    OBVIOUSLY you just keep it in the transporter buffer with a harmonic quantum nanoloop to regenerate pattern integrity. Cargo bays are an unnecessary waste of space.

    Well, yeah. They definitely need an OSHA. But they build 'em like overpowered tanks, too. A century of use and the only thing in the galaxy that's better is a new federation ship.
  20. JB0
    Say what you will about the Federation, but they build hardware like nobody's business.
  21. JB0
    Well, I DID have too much fire on the grill earlier and... Wait, wrong kind of steak.
  22. JB0
    Well, what if the runabouts are Super Danubes instead of regular Danubes?
  23. JB0
    "Enemy Strike Jet(tm)" I... I'm not sure that's trademarkable? But keep reaching for that dream, Mattel.
  24. JB0
    They can call it Viacable!
  25. JB0
    Very nice!
