Oi!

...is the name of the "laser mounted in a B-1" project. At last report they had managed to get the laser to work at the power level required, but so far they haven't actually shot it at anything or put it in an aircraft.

PS that flying sphere-thing that Val Kilmer plays with in the beginning of the movie is a real thing, now, as well: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-10/video-japans-new-ball-shaped-drone-wows-crowds-tokyo

I don't know if I really got across the fact that the jargon in this movie is actually real stuff, not just made up science-y word salad. I mean, the actors obviously didn't know what any of it meant, but whoever wrote the stuff did. (And good job on them for actually getting it into the movie, as opposed to someone saying "all this is boring and confusing, cut it out so we can have more jokes!")

Wow, this was one of the earliest action figure-type toys I ever owned, alongside various Stars Wars figures - really brings back the memories!

In the UK, G.I. Joe figures were licenced by Palitoy and rebranded as "Action Force" (they were known by that name for many years), as an offshoot of the popular "Action Man" line (again, rebranded 12" G.I. Joe). The UK FLAK cannon was released as part of a very early wave (before there was more emphasis on "characters" like Scarlett and Snake-Eyes) as part of "Z-Force"; it was bright green in colour with a black barrel. I also remember those tripod legs being a real pain!

Man, Exo-Squad was friggin' awesome. That said: I only had ONE figure. I'm sad I never got completely into that toyline. On top of that, it's overall sad that another mech-based toyline has never taken hold since...

It's worth noting that the suit design was taken from one of the first ExoSquad suits, which was non-transforming. It's actually pretty impressive how well they integrated the bike feature with the overall form of the original suit.

You can see the non-transforming version here: http://www.bamkapow.com/post.phtml?pk=2857

The Exo-Fighter shown there was designed by Parasites and Micronauts Alien designer Stephen Lee and is one of my favorites.

A space menace was never so... gaudy.
I do quite enjoy what they're doing with this line; can't wait to see more.

Great golden goodness...

It looks decent. Light up eyes look possible. I was hoping to see an ES Gokin version.

The moment where Josh reminds Atom that the Green Lion and Pidge are coming out next and he can review them. The look on Atom's face made me laugh out loud. Spot on commentary from both of you guys about Matty. I can safely say Club Lion Force will be my first and last subscription ever. When I think of the different Super Robot Chogokin that have come out and the Monsterarts stuff, that's when I really feel the pain. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Adam, I would like answer your question, about why the next entry in the Saint Cloth Myth Crown line is going to be Poseidon, with another question. Why would Bandai create a new Appendix line of fixed posed statues and have the figure that kick starts the line be Lizard Misty? Retailers are still trying to get rid of their Saint Cloth Myth Lizard Misty stock because he was such a insignificant character. So as we all know, Bandai works in mysterious and sometimes ass-backwards ways.

Oh and also, Bandai said a while ago that this was the direction they were heading with the Saint Cloth Myth Crown line. They said they were going to do the bronze saints wearing their corresponding Gold Cloths and the Gods. Which just could very well mean that Athena will one day grace the Saint Cloth Myth Crown line. Poseidon is the first God Cloth that was released, so maybe they are doing the Gods in the Same order as the regular line.

But then I realized that no, this is most definitely Adam loosing the full power of his mind.
