I can work with Corel Draw. 2D images, but it gives a good look. Takes awhile though.

No, a big gun ship that can combine with another big gun ship would be Dragon Bal Z ish :lol:

Well actually that's roughly the implication, I think, I haven't actually seen power rangers. But the idea is in making the biggest most awsomest thing EVAR that will blow up all the baddies with the MEGAPHASERTORPEDOS pew pew!

What? I've heard of "Power Rangers," but I know nothing about them. Doesn't anybody remember Voltron?

No. I assume it's a US thing?

I remember it. Power Rangers is along similar lines as Voltron. Most seasons, 3-6 people, usually teenagers, find themselves as defenders of the earth with the ability to morph into Power Rangers(the outfits they wear) and summon Zords(usually giant robots or something with animals and magic) that can combine into a Megazord. Usually they have power up modes which sometimes they overkill on. (One guy had the generic power up mode, Triassic Ranger mode, and Battalizer mode)

It's popular with the kids, and shameless in making stuff in the show just to sell more toys. And done on the cheap, using a lot of stock footage from a Japanese show, Super Sentei(spelling?), which follows a similar story. It's continuty is suprisingly solid for a 15+ year old kid's show though.

Oh. That's perfect, blackstar. If they do make a big gun ship they can call it what they will.

But it's informal name will be the Battalizer class.

When I first read this, I assumed it had to be some kind of innuendo, and I couldn't figure out what it was. You guys have programmed me so much into expecting some things that I don't recognize some references. :lol:

Aren't some of these sorts of thing tranformable? We're not planning to include an atmosphere-sucking vacuum in it, are we? The ability to go to Ludicrous Speed!!! would, however, be an advantage.
