I think that mech is only available in Line of Contact (the expansion pack, designed for on-line play). There's a few like that. I don't have the expansion pack myself.

I prefer the Quasar or the Prominence.

aaahhhhhhh. Big mechs.

May you have all the game time you desire this Christmas.

Can't remember why, but I stumbled across this, and I thought that some of you, my fellow nerds might appreciate it.

Nice Find theyak.

*hits with a hammer*

How does it work?

[Carot]

Hahaha.

I've remember that from a looooong time ago. Such a strange thing to attempt with the Macross series. I think they were trying to get in on the battletech crowd.

Ah me. Robotech was my 2nd love back in those days, my first was Voltron. The animation is so much better in my memory.

The game was pretty solid though. Not as good as VFX, but good none the less.

Name : Jon Quixote (Jon or JQ for short)

I like: Transformers but any robots big or small. Particularly Isaac Asimov's robots (after which Asimo is named and he coined the word Robotics!) and the illustrations of Chris Foss.


I've been meaning to post these photos of one of my favourite childhood toys for ages but never got around to it.

So without much further ado,

I present to you - Ultra Magnus.

[Carot]

I had that!

I'm so jealous that you still have yours! My grandfather threw all of mine away when I was younger

Such is the fate of so many toys :sleep:

My personal favorite was the 1st edition deluxe Voltron. The weapons all shot these really small missles, something you won't see these days as the parts are all considered a choking hazard now.

My favorite these days is this:


I love the Virtual-on figures and models, they're a pleasant step away from the usual gundam style models.

Jon,

we are honoured to have your presence.

P.S never tell uncle Macey your address. He will destroy you and steal your models and right off in the sunset on his bike cackling like an insane loon!

[macewind]

What a low opinion you must have of me! To think i would actually steal from a fellow TFs fan! Im deeply, deeply hurt, id never steal ultra magnus. I already have him

[Perturabo]

Greetings all! I apologise for my absence, computer problems. It seems to me that every time I lose my internet access LO changes and moves. It's as if none of you like me:cry: .

On a Gundam related note, does anyone remember the old RTS Total Annihilation? There is a project called Spring currently re-inventing it, and there is a mod based on the original Gundam series for it. It doesn't look as pretty as modern games, but it might be worth a look. Linky
