And, to each film's credit, the most memorable moments of each of those films were the robot fights. Though I did recall thinking back then that a scorpion-mecha with a stinger-mounted DEW felt silly and stupid. <br /><br />Still, it does feel interesting how things have changed between Robot Jox/Wars and Pacific Rim, only for it to go back to square one with Pacific Rim: Uprising if the internet is to be believed. <br /><br />Overall, a nice little jont down memory lain.Sabersonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304850400062201271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-84853862329965992019-01-07T11:59:13.759-06:002019-01-07T11:59:13.759-06:00Nice article, I'm not sure if I should be prou...Nice article, I'm not sure if I should be proud or ashamed that I got to see this thing in a theater back in 1990.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-33781627327860089802019-01-07T11:07:49.287-06:002019-01-07T11:07:49.287-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.hahahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061539211420151238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-56216732412030828952019-01-06T16:34:53.293-06:002019-01-06T16:34:53.293-06:00Yep, also wish we can see the page about the OSS b...Yep, also wish we can see the page about the OSS baffleless suppressors' products, history, American Flow-througu engineer, reason to get rid of the government issued SOCOM variants, etc.<br />https://osssuppressors.comyimyuehonpeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487887332029707395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-51916158396993787392019-01-06T01:42:38.344-06:002019-01-06T01:42:38.344-06:00Don't worry about it.
