Let's see, in robot mode it's bird head sits just above its chest, while the dragon & tiger heads form its shoulders. It has a few weapons; a sword, of course, two cannons which attach to the sabre tooth tiger's back & a shield-type thing formed from part of the dragon's back including its ...

Jeez, I'd almost forgotten about this... No, sorry, none of the things anybody suggested was quite it, although they all looked quite similar. Maybe I need more details. Let's see, in robot mode it's bird head sits just above its chest, while the dragon & tiger heads form its shoulders. It has a...

I doubt we'll ever see a completely western produced mecha series. The giant super robot is concept that is uniquely Japanese. Think of it: heavily armed giants with previously unheard of destructive powers. Not only does this describe the Japanese people's view of the Americans after WWII, but does...

Damn, it's another Armageddon rip-off. I was hoping it'd be about that sand monster guy from Kinnnikuman.

Actually, the plot sounds remarkably similar to the final episode of the 1960s Astroboy anime.

Oh God, yes!

I think my favourite one was the prostate cancer bit.

"So get yo' ass checked out before it's too late, turkeys."

You know, we oughtta have a stickied "Name that robo" thread. As long as we're on the topic, I've got one. I think it might be one of the Braves, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture on me, just a description. It's a combiner robot made up of a dragon, a sabretooth tiger...

Ok, i'm not sure if this belongs in here or not, but it is sort of a technical question. Ever notice how in most giant robot anime, the robots all sound a certain way? Like the noises they make when they move & such. They don't really sound much like normal machines. Is there any particular reas...

Has anybody else ever noticed the similarities between the guardian beasts from Babel II & the Phantom Pain trio's Gundams from SEED Destiny? Or am I just crazy?

Ahh...Keroro would be my dream, but I wonder if they would be ally? Well, Keroro himself would join just to admire the "1/1" Gunpla with his own eyes :wink: . Powered Armor, I vote for...Guyver! However, TKB has Pegas and Orgun has those Birdman as excuse to include as robot series, Guyve...

Howabout some FSS? Perhaps have a game where our heroes travel across the galaxy trying to wipe the evil Balmarians off the face or the cosmos, meeting up with various alien super robot friends along the way, eg; Jokerians, those guys from Xenogears & saga, former alien villains like the Zentra...

Very true. You can't discount the psycological effect it has. They actually say somewhere in Patlabor that the reason the AV-98 & similar models have heads is to make them appear more intimidating to criminals & more heroic to the general public. Also, there's the case of G Gundam & othe...

It's a parody of the Knight of Gold from FSS. Zinc is, of course what the old chogokin robot toys were actually made out of. I don't think they ever made any chogokin MHs, though.

Come to think of it, it's kind of a lousy screen name, isn't it?

EDIT: Sorry. That was kinda stupid. I should have realized that's not what we're here for right now.

Actually, a lot of high-performance machines have their internals gold-plated due to its high electrical conductivity & corrosion resistance. The McLaren F1's golden engine block is a good example. That whole luminescent joint thing actually sounds more like FSS than Gundam. Like that insane sem...

Well, it certainly looks original & I can't wait to see it. I've always said there aren't enough super robos that look like giant tiki idols on steroids.

I do hope Venom comes back. Maybe they could have Eddie Brock sr. show up & get infested.

Still, I'm looking forward to seeing that movie. I can't wait...

YAY YAY YAY, WOW! YAY YAY YAY, WOW!

Christ...I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for ages.

This is a silly little project I've been working at on & off for a little bit. It's my attempt to adapt the Gundam novels into a movie trilogy. There might also be a few things that resemble Origin more closely & maybe the occaisional cameo or name-drop from other OWY side-stories, but mostl...

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Even if it has water, its close orbit around its sun means it's probably tide-locked like Mercury so one side is always facing the sun. This means that one side's too hot & the other's too cold, so there's less space for life to develop. Also, if there are oceans on...

Is Jill Ratokie, Murasame test subject #005 & pilot of the MRX-008 Prototype Psycho Gundam any relation to Miharu Ratokie? And what stories do she & her giant killer mecha appear in? Jill is Miharu's younger brother, as seen in the original MS Gundam. The Murasame test subject version appea...
