Transformers PRIME

Oh is definately a F-16XL I put the wrong emoticon I meant the roll eyes one. The guy Mark Bellomo really got it wrong. Its a shame too considering how much work went into the guide and he actually seems to know a little about weapons of war. -
Well there is that thing called the international dateline that puts Japan ahead of the USA by a day.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I just picked up Tytania, the second season of queen's blade and *ahem* Girls Bravo. So far I really like Tytania I've been told its like a cross between Tylor and Legend of the Galatctic Heroes. At least Fan Hyurlick isn't as dense or lazy and theres nowhere near the level of slapstickness. I love how he accomplishes the impossible and defeats the big bad invincible empire that had never lost a single battle only to be punished for his victory because his government wanted to lose the battle in the first episode. It also doesn't hurt with Mikimoto's art, Ishiguro directing, and the source material from the LoGH man himself Yoshiki Tanaka As for Queen's Blade I'm about half way through and I'm surprised at the death toll so far(not sure if they are actually dead yet) and the current queen is down right cruel and evil enough to make the swamp witches minions ashamed. I'm royally pissed at what they did to Nyx in the show though. She appears for only 3 seconds in the first season and the only episode she is featured in in the second season sees her pathetically defeated by Elina, Reina's spoiled b**** of a sister that tortured Nyx and humiliated her whe she was a young serving girl at the Vance's castle. Its bad enough that Nyx lost but Elina really rubs it in mockering her, degrading her, and leaving her powerless. It finally with Nyx collapsing in the streets of the city hopeless as a little girl she met earlier offers her some bread. It just really bugs me that a nice and genuinely kind girl had to seek an evil spirit staff that abuses her at its will because of Elina and ends up worse off. It also deviated from the visual combat books making Nyx weaker than she actually is. -
New Star Trek series in the works?

correct me if I'm wrong but didn't TNG skip the battle of wolf 359 altogether with the enterprise ariving in the aftermath too late to do anything? I think it was DS-9's pilot episode that actually showed the battle. -

renegadeleader1 replied to Zor Primus's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This was actually one of the few plot devices they never finished. The queen slug sent a message off into space supposedly to signal an invasion, but the whole idea was just dropped. Thats it. Nothing else. A large chunk of federation high command gets infiltrated and... thats all. I found out later there was supposed to be these giant insect invasions collecting other races to add to their hive mind, but the special effects aspect would have been too expensive so they dropped the bug idea and used plot elements from it to create the borg. EDIT:When I was a kid this episode scared the living crap outta me -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUwbQjm93Es Nowhere Fast performed by Fire Inc. from the movie Streets of Fire. If this sounds very familiar, you should know that despite bombing in the US Street of Fire was a huge movie in japan and inspired quite a bit of anime in the 80s and early 90s.

I watched the battle of endor deleted scenes at a friends house when he bought the blu-rays. I have to say it was an eyeopener. I suddenly have a new respect for Moff Jerjerrod, and the deleteted rebel pilots scenes where hilarious and cool at the same time! I got to see what the rebel guys standing behind Lando and Nien Nunb on the falcon were doing during the battle. I also found out both A-wings and B-wings had targeting computers.

He might also be thinking of the Baseball Stars series of games by SNK. It does have a similar art style to the Technos river city/kunio games even though they aren't related. -
No! resist the dark side you must! Otherwise it will dominate your destiny.

Say what you want, but that was still funny.

I liked Earthbound's system. The enemies randomly placed placed on the map appeared from off screen giving you the following options: you could either sneak up on them to get the first hit, be ambushed giving them the first hit, standard battle, avoid them, or if you were stronger they'd run like a bitch and if you caught them you wouldn't have to fight and got an auto win with full rewards! I think FF VII had the best random battles, not popping up every three steps, but also not being so infrequent that leveling seemed impossible. The combat was fun too, mostly due to each character having uniquely animated attacks, limit breaks, and materia affecting everything. I loved how you could mix and match or even stack different abilities on top of each other. -

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I just started Transformers: Headmasters(does this count as anime?). I'm rather impressed with the carnage, I'm just 3 episodes in and 3 transformers have died. I'm also surprised at wheelie growing a pair and not being anywhere near annoying as he was in the animated film and following seasons. I actually feel kinda bad for him being designated Daniel's protector while Daniel decides to go do something stupid. -
That was the original idea including robotic horses and pagoda battleships, all of it was scrapped in favor of what we evetually got. The only thing that survived the change was the hover sleds.

The first few examples of the short gunned StuG III rolled off the assembly line without roofs. In pre war testing they found this was vulnerable to small arms fire while on a forward facing slope. By 1938 they had all been modified to have roofs. Actually quite a few were common like the U.S. M-10 wolverine tank destroyer over 6,700 were built. Having no roof helps with target spotting, faster reloading, casing clearing, and adds more speed due to less weight. WWII tank destroyer doctrine consisted of speed and firepower above all else. The M18 hellcat(also open topped) could be clocked at up to 60mph(97kmh). Personally I kinda like the idea behind the spartas. Its obvious that the mecha designer tried to merge 3 different types of mechanized warfare into the one mecha. The speed of a jeep, the firpower of self propelled artillery, and the all around ability of a main battle tank.

Variants of the German StuG III and many other assault guns/tank destroyers had no roof crew protection. example: British Archer tank destroyer
