with the arrival of the Transformers movie, which i think will be the biggest movie of the summer, i propose a quick poll
From the Transformers that appear in the movie, who would you want to be?
Heres a quick low-down on the good and the bad boyz
Optimus Prime - 18 Wheeler: Optimus Prime is the heroic leader of the Autobots. He is the personification of courage, strength and integrity. His personal motto is 'Freedom is the right of all sentient beings'
Bumblebee - Camaro: As an Autobot spy he is the ultimate robot in disguise. What he lacks in size and strength he makes up in for with courage. He enjoys the company of humans and would do anything to protect his earthly friends
Jazz - Modified Pontiac Solstice: Jazz picked his sportscar form because its the epitome of style. If theres one thing he digs about earth is its human culture
Ironhide - modified GMC topkick 6500: Ironhide is the toughest Autobot around. More than one Decepticon has busted an O-ring just from seeing him narrow his eyes. He sees himself as the cold, steel fist backing up Prime's inspiring words
Ratchet - Modified Hummer H2: Ratchet is the Autobots chief mechanic, engineer and medical expert. Theres nothing he cant fix. As a pacifist he'd rather solve problems peacefully rather than fight
Megatron: Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons. He will stop at nothing to establish his empire and destroy the Autobots, starting with Optimus Prime
Barricade - Saleen 5821 Mustang: Barricade is a born hunter. On Cybertron he made his name tracking and destroying fleeing Autobots. On earth he took the form of a police car to subvert the publics trust in authority
Starscream - Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor: Strascream has delusions of grandure. He chose to resemble an F-22 jet because its the pinnacle of human technological advancement. He serves Megatron but longs to fill his shoes
Blackout - Sikorsky MH53 Pave Low III: Blackout lives for chaos on the battlefield and delights in destruction. Blackout is also the heavy lifter that other Decepticons rely on for transport over long distances
Frenzy - Bombox: Frenzy is the chaotic spy turned boombox, sent by the Decepticons to infiltrate enemy strongholds
Oh nothing. The models I see are superb almost everytime. The wraith hiveships bug me though. No one has done an accurate design as far as I can tell. And the Wraith are so cool too...
Out of curiosity have you every done a Stargate model?
oh i see...yea the wraith hive ships, are more oragnic in shape, bit more challenging to build i suppose. And as far as i've seen in SG:A, you can never seem to get a decent view of the whole ship, either that, or its in a heavy perspective view, giving you the illusion of the wrong shape of the ship.
I have never built a true SG model, tho i've built a look-a-likey of the 'ol Prometheus
