Fantastic Foreskin posted:Are trek ships even capable of entering an atmosphere? Yes! You can even see two of the landing gear covers on the underside of TOS Enterprise saucer, the neck itself become the third "leg". You'll need a Starbase to reattach the Engineering section though.

Bug Squash posted:The upside of Unicron's transformation is that it gives us the scene of the Quintesson screw ship smashing into his eye while 80s rock blasts out. Dare by Stan Bush remains an A1-Banger to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJsbIKsif8 It's very much the "BATTLE THEME" of the movie, as you can see from earlier in the movie when they play it almost in full. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGrKfQ9Ss7w TFTM isn't a great movie but it has a fantastic soundtrack and they integrate into the movie well, and it's lovely to look at. I love it so much.

SlothfulCobra posted:I'd agree with the fact that there's some great songs, but I don't think they're integrated very well at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umwZ8qVorwo PERFECT INTEGRATION! quote:The movie is a bizarre experience where I think so many people involved in making it had no idea what they were doing, but they did have a whole lot of money to spend on music and animating fantastic visuals as they graphically and brutally murder the previous wave of toys in order to make way for the next, since Hasbro just didn't know at the time that they could make new toys of old characters. Didn't occur to them. Up until the release of TFTM Hasbro thought of Transformers as just a toyline, all those old moulds were wearing out or were lost, so new less complicated toys were obviously the next step, new versions of old characters just wasn't a thing. The reaction to all the deaths, especially Optimus Prime's, caused a LOT of backlash, and that changed them forever, and made the end of G.I.Joe the movie much weirder. quote:There's a few ships in the movie, but the bizarre Quintesson corkscrew definitely stands out the most. It does, it's a design that was designed backwards from the "Fly into Unicron's eye" scene, and I wish that sort of design was used more. Fivemarks posted:Man, the death count in Transformers The movie aint got anything on the Underbase Saga's death count. The movie doesn't have a Cosmically-powered Starscream, so of course there's less death. Remember the time Lazerbeak was able to kill Omega Supreme? The Comic-Con's are hardcore.

tadashi posted:Ever since I learned that any realistic space ship should be pointing its rockets at an object it's approaching, I can't see space ships in the same way. In Star Trek ships don't rely on rockets, they create a bubble around the ship and then warp spacetime around it, surfing space. They have reactive jets for close up stuff. In The Expanse they put the rockets on, and keep them in until the halfway point. They then flip the ship and put the rockets back on to slow down. That second part is *important*, the creator of the drive was crushed to death by the acceleration of his ship and never flipped it, he's shooting away at a significant fraction of the speed of light.
