Move aside, Optimus Prime, there's a new giant robot in town that's gonna blow you outta the water.

Now we're just waiting for Amuro to be born and the entire world will be [tornado fang]'d.

Im waiting for the Transformers vs Gundam movie. Or game. that would rock.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Nobody is too old to pilot a giant robot.

Just don't expect the good guys to like you or for you to live long while piloting said robot and to be shown up by some random teenager.

Then you either must have to have D-cups or you must be a loli.

There is some middle ground, but generally they aren't noticed as much as the first two.

Im always saying it but noone believes me. The Japanese are investing in robotics so that they can one day build an unstoppable robot army to crush and take revenge for the Atomic Bomb.

First they brainwash us with Anime, and fanservice, and while we're drooling, BAM! Gundams and Transformers everywhere. Expect a Megaman or two as well.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

And I was in awe at the Tokyo opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, due to the appearance of Bumblebee... XD

This one definitely cakes the take.


I'm watching you all. Always watching.
