CRUNCH! It's what we do in the garage - it's the noise of gravel under our tires - it's Exceta gnawing a bite outta Katsu! Folks, he's COMING APART with anger at the Slippery Samurai! For those just tuning in - a RED HOT welcome to THE BIG CRUNCH! This personal DEMOLITION DERBY challenge from the caveman to the clownboy is going as one would expect - absolutely CRAZY! THERE GOES THE FRONT GATE! Hunker down, folks - if you get hospitalized, that's one less viewer on our ratings! Keep me employed - WATCH YOUR HEAD! Our biggest set to date! The Big Crunch was a huge undertaking for us, as it required every team member to bring their talents to the table. This set was designed by @365days_of_lego and @Umikaloo and the duo work well together as it shines through the final product! We had various ideas on what we wanted the set to be, including a 2005-style remake of the classic 6713: Grip 'n' Go Challenge from LEGO Race. @365days_of_lego then came up with the concept of a gate mechanism that'll launch the engine off your opponent's car. Seeing it in motion sold the idea, and we went straight to work! @Umikaloo refined @365days_of_lego's sketch models as well, giving the cars the additional stability. serwithed, the new recruit VladimirShooting and @jappawakka worked tirelessly on making the decals, box art and renders look as perfect as possible. We had issues in the past with reusing the old Drome backgrounds as they were always in poor quality, but thankfully VladimirShooting offered up his excellent art skills to us and painted a wonderful rendition of the Drome Stunt Arena! He will also paint the backgrounds for our next comic release, and the upcoming sets in the future. LINK TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, DECALS AND MORE HERE:

Giant Robots (And the space war)

From Adria, Green Lodge

Japan has really got it made. For years now (definitely since the late 70s, but with roots before that) they’ve been making animated TV shows featuring giant robots and surprisingly clever writing. They prove the ever-contested rule that animation isn’t just a kids’ medium.

Are these shows for children? The merchandising says yes (and if you’re familiar with Transformers, you’re familiar with several of these properties). On the other hand, unlike Transformers, whose appeal seems to lie in what people wish the story was like, Japanese TV producers don’t seem to mind getting a little grown-up about their stories. Mobile Suit Gundam is literally World War 2 in space, with an invading space nation attacking Earth and driving a surviving crew of pseudo-Allied soldiers (and civilians) around the world. It’s a war story, with the expected level of angst and an interesting focus on environmental destruction. All the same, it’s full of giant robots, too. Sometimes they’re a bit goofy, but in some of the shows in the series, they feel about as real and well-used as tanks or fighter jets. Giant Gorg is another such show: made by many of the same artists, it takes a very different approach. It’s a show-in-a-bottle, with a child protagonist, and a much more cartoony conflict between a corporate military and the titular Gorg. Still, the TV networks here would have a hard time understanding its draw. The plot has almost the feel of a seventies sci-fi novel, except the lead is far more innocent. There’s no major focus on “saving the girl”, and no need to utterly destroy the alien antagonist. The alien’s motives are reasonable, and the only real enemy is the greedy corporation. You can't sell toys when you're the bad guy. Macross is another war show, but with a fun twist: the invading aliens are so regimented that they have forgotten cultural elements like music. Like Gundam, this show has a strong focus on its mechanical illustration (although perhaps a lower art budget). Transformers fans will find some familiar jets here, as well, since the toy lines are related. The connoisseur of Japanese giant robots will find many, many other shows or films of varying levels of realism: Vifam, Madox, Ideon. Not a lot of these shows have releases in the US, but you can read about them in magazines or sometimes online. You can also acquire tapes from the right sources, although they might be unsubtitled. Shows like this prove the argument that animation isn’t just an adult medium, but one that can provide grounds for artistic and creative expression that just don’t seem to happen in life-action movies (no offense to Robot Jox, which is fun if you like stop-motion). We’d like to see a live-action Macross or Gundam, but we’re not sure anyone would be up to that!

What do you think is going to happen with this documentary. Cause I feel bad for the characters who don’t get to be involved but I also can’t imagine next season everyone else being kinda known.

(honestly, these things feel like they always end with everyone looking bad.)
