I’ve procrastinated a long time on this one, I admit. I’ve been rather pre-occupied with other things and random thoughts. Some of you, I know, have been waiting patiently; others have been waiting impatiently; and, some couldn’t really care less. The latter will probably find this most appealing because I’m not quite sure how to [...]
Yesterday, on one of my frequent trips to the toys section of the local Woolworths, I spotted that they were selling off some of the older discontinued ranges of the last couple of years. I fought an epic campaign between the sensible part of me that wants to save money and the bit that is [...]

FC-D23: I hope you realise, organic, that your usurpment will not be forgotten.
Ryo: What a pity.
FC-D23: You might think that you are tough, but we are made of sturdier stuff.
FS1-D23-U3: Mainly composite materials.
Ryo: Ah-huh.
FC-D23: We are the great builders, the weaponsmiths…whereas you, you are a test pilot…a guinea [...]

FC-D23: It just looks a little ‘pedestrian’ to me, where are the high action and heavy artillery features. It’s got nothing remotely threatening.
FS1-D23-U1: Unless you count kung fu grip and spinning blade action.
FC-D23: It’s meant to be a giant robot that will crush spirits and structures, not Action [...]

FS1-D23-HUD: So, how are the Arm Alliance doing, boss?
FC-D23: HUD, are you going to continue to insist on creating bad team titles or do you intend to avoid a trip to the trash compactor?
FS1-D23-HUD: You prefer Limb League, right? I knew I should have gone with that!
FC-D23: Rrr. [...]

FS1-D23-U3: I mean, what is with this colour scheme, it’s like they don’t trust us to use the right pieces in the right place if they don’t colour them differently.
FC-D23: I wouldn’t trust most of this crew to get the right pieces if I crushed their faceplates [...]

Shuuhaijin Yuki: The supreme leader ordered delivery of components for top secret plan and transfer of data and schematics, I am honour bound to follow these orders.
FS1-D23-U2: Because otherwise you must commit sekkupu?
Shuuhaijin Yuki: Worse, bukkake…but also, I get sacked.
FC1-D23: Never mind that, how did you [...]

Guise (B): Sparks…vector sigma…cybernetic gods…robotic medics…folded space for mass conversion…
Guise (B): …but no damn instructions! Is it too much to ask for a simple “how to” on building giant war…I mean peace-keeping robots to help me spread my message of World Peace under my tyrannical rule?!
Guise (B): There must be something somewhere [...]
I love Mecha, that’s no secret. I love seeing giant robots and machines in reality, I love to see them in movies and anime, and read about them in books and comics. I still enjoy Transformers and Sentai, and can be talked in to watching Power Rangers fairly easily. The image of Dai-X from Starfleet [...]
Because the Easter Bunny is smart, it knows that children can help spread its continuing worship and so has evolved its egg-laying over the past several generations to thoroughly snare their attentions. Children like bright colours and chocolate, and this was the first of the attracting factor used by the early Easter Bunnies, but what children really [...]
As I’ve previously stated, I loved the Dreadnoks when I was younger, and still hold a soft spot for them to this day.
Though the cartoon version of the ‘noks portrayed them as brainless, incompetent goons who were more like childish bullies than a deadly gang, the comic portrayed them in a different light. All [...]
Being born in 1981, I grew up in what I’d consider one of the Golden Ages for children’s toys. As a child there was always a new fad to get in to and a new idea just emerging to take over from that one. Regrettably, there were two things standing in my way from fully [...]

So, Christmas Day is drawing to a close. Presents have been had, food has been cooked and consumed, and I’m actually now eager for another Christmas next year - this is something that rarely happens. I am, actually, [...]
I wanted a giant war death peace-keeping robot. I wanted one bad. I wanted one so bad that I placed an order with Amazon to get my hands on the LEGO Exo-Force “Striking Venom” mecha.
I thought maybe it could take pride of place on my newly cleaned desk at home, a sort of remember you [...]
Vrrrrrum, Vrrrrum….
The Sinclair C5A complete flop when it was released and somewhat of a joke, it was actually genius if not fully thought-out and badly marketed.
The Sinclair C5 was first launched in the UK on the 10th January 1985. Created by the innovator and inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, most famous for his ZX80 and ZX81 [...]
Yay, within a fortnight of me ranting about the lack of giant robots of death ([Mind] And Yet No Giant Battle God Robot w/ Gestalt Formation Ability… (21 November 2004)), Japan has gone totally freakin’ mental. Toyota, thank you for giving me hope, and Nik, thank you for ganking this.
The Toyota Group have announced their [...]
