    As someone who is heavily involved in the short track community I ask that you please take that video down and not link to it. If somebody wants to see it they can google it, but posting it here isn't in good taste.

    Completed my trip to the Wright Museum yesterday and have more photos plus a couple from Danbury which I didn't share yet. Gotta love a museum that has a tank busting through its walls Wright Museum entrance(M3 Stuart) M3 Stuart light tank M4 Sherman T26 Pershing M110 9 inch Howitzer Centurion battletank The interesting thing about that Pershing is aside from being a direct ancestor to the Patten line, this particular one is one of only three that made it to the bridge at Remagen and took part in the battle. It may be the only one still around today and was saved much like the MBT70 from being a practice target at Otis AFB back in the 80s.

    Bay starts directing porn? Bay originally got into the film industry shooting hardcore porn, Playboy videos, and other Skinimax smut. No, the first one actually is a pretty entertaining film up there with Big Trouble in Little China.

    Yup that's definately it with its original turret, the only mystery now is where the hell the XM800-T got its new turret from and why? Now for something competely different The smallest tank that was the biggest death trap! The Polish TKS Tankette. Prone to throwing its treads(as the video below will show) it wasn't very fast, wasn't heavily armed(not counting the custom one that welded on a 55mm mortar), and its armor couldn't stop small arms fire! Here's a demo of one of the very operable TKS from a couple years back. Watch it all the way through. In addition to blowing out a tread the drivers thought it was a good idea to winch it up on its trailer using a chain that wasn't rated for the Tank's weight. EDIT: The TKS makes a very small two second cameo in Girls Und Panzer from when they showed snippets of Pravda's win over Bonple the polish themed school.

    M36 Jackson M18 Hellcat Patton tanks with MBT-70 MBT-70 The MBT-70's in rough shape. No treads, shot suspension, gutted interior, and no engine. They only recently repaired the damage where from when it was a target(a penetrator went clean through the turret and out the other side), and repainted it about a week before I got there.

    So we have an aircraft thread, a weapons thread, so why not one based on the missing link of the combined arms? I had intended to do this for a while after I got into that little argument about the markings Arnold's tank on another thread, but I got really motivated after visiting the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury Connecticut and snapping some pictures while I was on vacation this week. The Museum is fairly small in size(It ain't Bovington, but it is in driving distance for me), but its yard has a nice collection of tanks and armored fighting vehicles including some very rare specimens like a functional Jackson Tank Destroyer, M2 Half Track, several Patton line variants, russian BMP, M551Sheridan, Goliath tank mine, and a prototype of the MBT-70 that's undergoing restoration after being used as a target by the U.S. Army. They also have this thing... The guide lists it as Test Recon Vehicle. No model number or anything. The only other information they had was that its turret was not the original one mated to it and that it itself was the prototype for the M2 Bradley. I know we got some other service men on here so hopefully you can help me shed some light on this as I've never seen anything like it. Anyways I'm heading up to a transportation museum in Wolfboro NH tomorrow who also has a nice collection of armored fighting vehicles including several Sherman variants. I'll make sure to add more pics from there and my Danbury trip later. Feel free to contribute too! EDIT: Here's another image from the recon vehicles side I can't make out much, but I think it says something about an XM864-T.

    Mommar I think this is the veritech they're talking about.

    The VF-X-7 was never released as part of the kickstarter. The only images of it are stills from Memo's comic con video people have captured.

    Cattleya is my least liked Queen's Blade character. Yes all the other characters are exagerated body proportions, but she just goes way too far.

    Is the Mandalorian voiced by E.G. Daily? Sounds a little like her from when she did the voice of Dizzy from Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles.

    FYI that figure was made by Matchbox/Mattel and was their attempt at entering the 3 3/4 market to compete with G.I. Joe. Needless to say this is a company that at the time was known for making dolls and little diecast cars so they had no clue what they were doing. Shoddy molds, bad paint app and brittle plastic led to a pretty bad line. As far as Revell comes in, they originated the Robotech Defenders line by licensing several mecha model kits from various anime along Takara's Blockmen line. None of the them were hot sellers and the tie in comic bombed. Carl Macek and HG approached them at this point about the macross designs and a deal was struck that saw Revell give the Robotech name to HG in exchange for advertising and a small percentage of profits. The hope was it would reinvigorate the failing line they were losing a decent amount of money on.

    Does Mandarake work for someone in the States, or is this one of those hire a proxy buyer deals?

    I hate to break this to you, but Shadow Chronicles was generally well recieved by Robotech fans. Most of you here may hate it and rant about bouncy chests, horrible cgi etc, but to be perfectly honest if it was hated people still wouldn't be calling for Shadow Rising to be made 7 damn years later. The reason it hasn't been made is the same reason they can't make any video games, they sold the farm to WB in the awful live action film deal and shot themselves in the foot.
  19. renegadeleader1
    Yes, yes they would how often have you seen taglines like "From the mind of the god of manga Osamu Tezuka" on new things 20 years after his death?

    There's also no point since Disney already remade a live action Jungle Book twice in the 90s.

    Okay I just finished watching and its officially my second favorite Marvel film slightly behind Avengers and displaced Iron Man to number 3. It really is that good!
  22. renegadeleader1

    RealDoll needs to take a look at that figure and understand putting a colored wig on it and with the eyes slightly asiany and larger does not make an anime girl. (Yeah I know ewwwww lol!)

    People are still pissed that ME3 forced you to play multiplayer to have an effect on the storyline, and that it was just a prototype for a coming MMO version of Mass Effect.

    I was cleaning up and ended up digging deep in my pile of dvds to pull out an old obscure classic... Miami Guns! Its pretty wacky, and more entertaining than I remember.
