I'm giving a bone here Dr. Evil. I can just as easily click on the lock thread button. IMO it looks more like the Rolling Stones Janet Jackson cover. Guld obviously volunteered.

Perv. But watch how far you take those. Rule 2 of the Rules and Regs: #2 No graphic or vulgar descriptions/depictions of sex or sexual content. The moment it starts getting "hentai" the thread gets shut down.

what do those images have to do with Macross mecha?

How fast are the Armored Ozma's selling in HK? I'm going to be there late Oct/Nov and prefer to buy it there.

DA doesn't want to do any "real" work today.

Old one is in the Hall of Super Topics. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29850 Original thread - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=153 No one knows the exact details of the 1984 contract between Harmony Gold and Tatsunoko Productions because this contract has not been made public. However, we can infer what the contract entails from Harmony Gold's actions and inactions. I'll keep this first post updated with the most reliable information. SDF Macross On October 1st, 1982, Tatsunoko Productions asked for and received the worldwide (excluding Japan) film distribution and merchandising rights from Big West as compensation for their animation assistance with SDF Macross. On January 15th, 1984, Harmony Gold licensed, and later acquired, these same film distribution and merchandising rights from Tatsunoko. However, the intellectual property rights for SDF Macross still resides with Big West. What this means is that Harmony Gold can legally distribute the SDF Macross footage outside of Japan (ie: the AnimEigo and ADV Macross DVD's) and edit the footage at their discretion (ie: Robotech). However, they cannot create any new animation or movies using the SDF Macross characters and mecha because they do not have the intellectual property rights. Comic books and videogames are excluded as these fall under the category of merchandising rights. Macross: Do You Remember Love Harmony Gold also has the worldwide (excluding Japan) merchandising rights to Macross: Do You Remember Love. However, they do not have the film distribution rights nor the intellectual property rights to this movie. What this means is that Harmony Gold can legally license the distribution of DYRL merchandise (ie: Toynami's DYRL Super Posable toys) worldwide (excluding Japan). However, Harmony Gold cannot release DYRL on video, nor can they create any new animation or movies using the DYRL characters and mecha. Comic books and videogames are excluded as these fall under the category of merchandising rights. On a related note, in 1988, Celebrity's Just For Kids released DYRL (as 'Macross in Clash of the Bionoids') in the USA under a license from Toho International Co. Ltd. In 1995, Best Film & Video Corp. released DYRL (as 'Superdimensional Fortress Macross') in the USA under a license from Big West. At Anime Central 2001, Robert Woodhead (of AnimEigo) was asked about DYRL and he said that nobody knows who owns the worldwide (excluding Japan) film distribution rights anymore. Macross II, Macross Plus and Macross 7 Trash The film distribution rights for Macross II and Macross Plus were licensed from Big West, by U.S. Renditions (1992) and Manga Entertainment (1995), for release in the USA without any involvement from Harmony Gold. Likewise, Macross 7 Trash was licensed from Big West, by Glénat (1998), for release in France without any involvement from Harmony Gold. In 2003, Tokyopop announced that they would release Macross 7 Trash in the USA under a license from Harmony Gold, however, the manga was never published and no official explanation was given. Harmony Gold said that they were not involved with Macross II and Macross Plus because "no one was minding the store" at that time (source needed). The subsequent Tokyo District Court ruling determined that Tatsunoko Productions (and by extension Harmony Gold) did not have any copyrights to the Macross derivatives (ie: Macross II, Macross Plus), thereby rendering the "no one was minding the store" explanation moot. The rest of the series As for the rest of the Macross series (ie: Frontier, 7, et al), Harmony Gold only has certain rights to these. In 1999 and 2002, Harmony Gold tradedmarked the name 'Macross' in the USA, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. What this means is that any series and merchandising featuring the 'Macross' trademark would have to compensate Harmony Gold for the use of that trademark in those respective countries. Harmony Gold also trademarked 'U.N. Spacy' in the USA and Canada. In the European Union, 'U.N. Spacy' was trademarked in November 2007 and is held by Yugenkaisya Suneast trading (aka Suneast Co.Ltd) from Tokyo, Japan.* This is just my understanding of the current legal situation. It may not be 100% accurate, so any corrections are welcome. Sources: Harmony Gold et al v. FASA Corporation et al, 1996 WL 332689 (N.D.Ill.)

Hall of Super Threads this goes!

Hmmm....it is getting long.

There's already a BT thread.

Unless it's stepping on the head and crushes it. IIRC DFA is basically kick damage done to the upper portion of a mech. Any mech could do it. The great weight equalizer.

Rumor: Will LucasArts update X-Wing vs Tie? http://kotaku.com/5329863/x+wing-vs-tie-fi...king-a-comeback First Monkey Island, then Starcraft 2, then Mechwarrior.... are the good days of PC gaming where everything ISN'T an FPS coming back?

Sony fixes load blunder. http://kotaku.com/5329492/sony-scraps-wipeout-hd-loading-ad

I found the spinning spike towers pretty easy.... GoW: CoO. My only bitch is God Mode on the dock with that giant monster thing(been so long since I played it I forgot what it was) chasing you. It can two hit kill you....and I never passed it on God Mode.

I'm going to assume you're kidding but if not...... Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. To Hit Armor Class 0(Zero). Retracting Head Ter Ter: Firestarter. Loverly mech. Burns up all your forest-y areas so you ain't got a place to hide.

unless they changed the rules from the 1990 BT Compendium you're wrong. During the heat phase players add up the heat points built up MINUS the BT Mechs heat sink. The resulting number is then added to the heatscale. This is in the same turn.

Fat Princess is out! I'll be feeding your princess cake until she's FAT!

Take your non-SDCC love talk to PM.

Will it come with the sword? Only way I'm buying it. My old DX(matchbox) version doesn't have the sword.

Whatever.

Bull. If there are no pirates who will fight the ninjas?? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=0&start=0

Redshirts is a veritble scientific fact. You wear a redshirt in StarTrek, you die. Found a better description for "fluff" Some of the "fluff" in the TRO may not be relevant to the game mechanics but are relevant to the BT universe(books). Off the top of my head Fadre Sing or Death's Head. Both "notable mechwarriors" in the TRO actually show up in the novels or comic books.

IE Fluff=Details. Rant mode: Why can't they just say "details" instead of associating a word that doesn't mean that?! Besides I prefer the Urban Dictionary association for Fluff. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fluff

LAM's were featured in one Official BT novel. IIRC it takes place on a world where the dominant lifeform are avians after the DC soldiers experience a misjump. Don't remember what it's called though. Google search: Far Country. What the hell is fluff?

Only thing I like about Buster Prime is the gun. I don't like the face and I don't like the chrome/silver paint. Too shiny compared to the rest of the bot.
