Top Gun

Hell yeah

Personally I like Martin Mystery.

Yeah, that was fun as well.

Totally Spies

Looks a lot more like the "standard" F-19 stuff of the late 80's/early 90's to me.

Monogram's was cooler than Testors': http://www.ericksmodels.com/gallery/f19/f19.html

Almost a perfect match for the photos above.

(GI Joe's was based on Testors')

Any thoughts on my questions regarding the swing-wing NATF, David?

Or anyone else for that matter

"Turkish Top Gun"? Hadn't heard that one before

no $h!t disk tracy what's your next case?

IIRC I read somewhere that the Polish pilotes involved in the Battle of Britain used to have a lot of random banter going on over the radio to confuse the enemy and make their numbers larger than they actually were.

Say, I got a question for the more knowleadgable guys around here.

A little while ago I found this picture online of an F-22 adaptation for the U.S. Navy's cancelled NATF program:

Now I was wondering, what are some of the things you would need to consider when trying to design a stealth aircraft with swing-wings? Would it be possible to do so if you made the wings so that they had certain fixed possible positions and angles, each one being in line with other lines on the airplane?

Also, why give it swing-wings? Wouldn't it be easier to just give it folding wings for storage instead, like an F/A-18, and keep the basic shape of the regular F-22's wing? Or is the regular F-22's landing speed so high because of the angle of the wing that it would then need some special flap system or some other method to slow down enough to be able to land on a carrier?

Also, some nice F-19 pics I found online

Seen from another plane flying underneath:

I anxiously await for the anouncement of a Mr Belvadere or Perfect Strangers movie...

joking aside, I believe Rampage Jackson was cast as the part of BA for the A-Team.

That's what I've read as well.

There are also some rumors (not sure if it's been confirmed yet) that Liam Neeson is going to play Hannibal.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A-Team_(film)

Wow, I didn't even know they had 747's like that, pretty amazing

And keeping with the '80's classics, from what I've read (no, didn't save the source, sorry) Liam Neeson is supposedly set/in talks to play Hannibal in the A-Team movie that should be done somewhere next year, with some guy (nick)named Barricade (probably either a rapper or wrestler...) supposedly approached for the role of B.A. ...

I've got serious doubts about an A-Team movie guys...

Love the B-1B pics, David

One of the most sexy bombers around

Win

It would be awesome if Rob Zombie did a full Werewolf Women of the S.S. flick next.

Likely not gonna happen, but one can dream

Awesome

Let's hope they can keep the sheer over-the-top-ness from the trailer

So when the radome 'opens' her scalp and feet get separated from the rest of her body

Forgive my ignorance, but what is 'mil power'? Just regular engine thrust without using afterburners?

Aside from that, I definitely gotta see that, it sounds awesome

Once got a 3-day ban over on the WotC D&D boards when I nuked a thread with some Tubgirl (it used to be a constructive and useful thread but turned into a flamewar).

At least it got the thread closed...

Man, I love the fighter mode.

If only I liked battroid and gerwalk modes just as much...

Ozma and Captain Wilder's untold story:

The Sheryl sculpts are great, don't get me wrong, but where is Cathy!? So underappreciated.

Finally! Someone who agrees on Cathy

Just saw this over on /tv/:

>A notable moment occurs during the dementedly frenetic final act of Transformers 2. A robot-on-robot fracas is unfolding around Egypt’s Giza Necropolis, with Devastator, an especially massive mechanoid comprised of several construction vehicles, set on clawing its way to the peak of a pyramid.

>As it lumbers up the dusty colossus, a shot tilts up to its mid-section, revealing two wrecking balls dangling down. Yes, Michael Bay, the man who brought us cyber-micturition in this movie’s predecessor, has one-upped himself: Decepticon testicles.

I don't know wether to laugh or cry

I guess you discovered my day job

Pete

Wait, you are?

Awesome

I hope to finish up my first year at uni studying philosophy this year

And to stay on topic, Grace is cool (and pretty good looking ), just leave out the tentacles

I hope they eventually release an Ozma version

I'd definitely get that

^^Bellyplates and the battroid face are different, if I remember correctly.

Still have a thing for the -21 though. Being able to use the gunpods in fighter mode has its advantages.

I thought the 22 could do that as well?
