You mean cartoon.

So you dont consider Transformers "anime"????

doesn't Anime mean Animation???

Thanks Dead Metal for the kickass sig!!!!

Anime is a term usually used to describe Japanese style animation, literally an animated manga. However I do say style, there has been American "anime's", such as Totally Spies, etc, which are called this as they follow the conventions of the Japanese manga drawing &/or plot style.
The term has been used to describe anything animated, but this is an incorrect description.

Simply put, if you're a manga fan (such as I) & you know what would count as real anime use 'Anime'. If you're just a general comic/cartoon fan, use 'Anime' only if you want to sound stupid & have people correct you.

anime is the Jap word for Cartoon, henche the Anime comes from Animation!

Just too glad to help out with promotion!

XD
Awwww, it's kinda sweet when people make that misconception. Anime is NOT the Japanese word for Anime
English & Japanese share no lingual roots, so our words for animation would have absolutely no similarity whatsoever.
Anime is an English term to describe Japanese animation that the Japanese have since started to use. I don't know the Japanese for 'animation', but I have been told it before, it isn't anime.

No, because it's drawn in an American style.
Also the G1 cartoons are mainly an American production.

It's a German Anime magazine, they claim to be the biggest in Europe (like being in 5 different Countries or so), are the oldest German mag of there kind with being over 10 years old.
It's quite good but quite pricy for my taste so I don't buy it so often, they also claim that Manga is the Jap word for Comic, which I also heared on the tely.

Manga does mean comic.
Oh you might as well have the basic class session.

(My spelling can sometimes be off, & I'm doing this from memory, sorry)
Manga - comic
Shōnen manga - Boys comic
Shōjo manga - Girls comic
Kodomo manga - Childrens comic
Seinen manga - Older boys/mens comic (18 years of age +, sometimes even aimed at Businessmen, not necessarily sexual)
Josei manga - Older girls/womens comic (again, 18+)
Hentai manga - "pervy" comic (think R rated as opposed to 18 rated which would be Seinen manga)
Anime - an English word, generally refering to the Japanese style of animation. Usually considered as a subset of animation.
Mangaka - Manga artist.


REMEMBER Japanese use context to provide information about whether something is Plural or Singular so Manga is both singular & plural.

I knew all that exept the Anime part
Also Hentai means perverse.
And Mangas are usaly printed on one way paper, so they are read and then thrown away usually.
But let's bring this back on topic.

I think if this line gets made and becomes a success (lets hope so) they could make like displays for them, like a volcano for the ark.
Also battle-damaged versions would be cool, but only if the line is a success, I don't want to ruin the compony just cos I want stuff that won't sell.

Hrrrm, displays sound nice. I'd like to see a Nemesis v Ark diorama as seen in the first G1 episode or in the ('80s) movie.

Maybe an underwater set, showing (Beast) Megatron, Rampage & Dinobot2 entering the Nemesis as in the Beast Wars finale.

Oh yes that would be awesome, but I think it would be more of a statue then a model, since the Raven star models seem to smale to let something like that look good.

yeah, that's a huge diorama type project.. i was thinking of the Klingon ships in the work Bench Gallery specifically the RacKar would be a fair size and not too expensive either..

scroll down till you see it.. he's actually holding it, so you can kinda get an idea of the scale..

So where do I sign? This just looks like 6-7 pages of convo which I don't feel like reading. None the less, sign me up.

you just did!

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, really. That's such a reasonable price. I love building model kits. I, Cyber-Kun, aka Matthew Ingraham, give my full support to this.

excellent!!

im in where do i sign?

I'd buy one of each for sure.

thanks you just signed up!! Ravenstar Studios is a Member of this board and if you have any questions please PM them, Chris Lynch is a wonderful and cool person and will listen to your ideas with patience and understanding. They have already said their interested in the idea.. so thanks for the support!! Keep those signatures coming!! soon we may have a prototype to gawk over, and it's all because of your support and the fans here on siebertron.com!!

id buy them ive been wanting a decient model of the ark and nemisis

Oh hells yeah! That'd be awsome! I'd buy em.

Oh heck yeah. I'm in, I already made my own custom nemesis that is two feet long and one and a half foot wide wing tip to wing tip. so a more detailed and smaller one will be awesome. as well as before I get a chance to make an ark of similar size.

Yep, I'm in. I'd love to put together a little ship, it'd be awesome.

Cool. I will, get them if they relese them.

I would love to see some transformers ship replicas the ark and nemesis would be incredible and Id say a wave two in the line should be the Beastwars Maximal explorer vessel Axylon and the Predacon cruiser!

My thoughts on materials:

a combination of hard plastic, vinyl, maybe die cast, like make it so turrets can rotate maybe doors or main hatches can be lowered or opened, opening compartments and maybe sections of hull can be opened to reveal internals of the ships and it should maybe come with miniature figures or have the characters molded to their stations...similar to the star wars action fleet or micro machines millennium falcon play set...those are my ideas.
