Man you're a real downer these days

walk over to the mattel area and get me some he-man info!

I know what ya mean. Usually, with Cameron productions, really awesome, yet realistic, mechanical designs are expected. I've heard through various grape vines that he is very demanding on his designers. I look at this mech from avatar and I'm afraid to say that I'm a little surprised. While being a decent design, it does look pretty much like something you'd see at from a very promising 3rd year student at Cal Arts. Which, isn't bad, but not something you expect to see from the Cameron led camp.

Anyways, I still am very excited to see this movie. Cameron usually delivers. I'm sure Avatar will be highly entertaining. While the mech is neat but not jaw dropping, I bet the stuff you see it do and the battle sequences it appears in will be orgasmic. :)

It's not a Cadillac, it's a 1966 Chrysler Imperial. Looks like they did a little too much "pimp my ride" to it, but it's better than I was expecting.

I'm loving the deep-dish wheels on the Imperial. Because yeah, plenty of cars running around with those back then. (facepalm)

I'm wary of the new Cameron film. Dont get me wrong, I love Aliens, Termintor 1 & 2, True Lies, all that. But Titanic ruined him for me, especially since he's spent all his time since then travelling back and forth to the wreckage of the Titanic.

That dude was in his prime in the late 80's early 90's. Now almost 20 years later he's trying to get back to that kind of storytelling after effectively dropping off the planet and the movie-making industry? Sounds oddly familiar to George Lucas's piss poor return.

Cameron keeps hyping this moving because it's so ridiculously expensive and is supposed to "Change the way we watch movies"...but really, nothing will live up to the hype.

Cool mech, but nothing to shit my pants about.

"I'm exactly the same amount of excited about the Green Hornet movie now than I was before I had seen the car. Just sayin'."

That's pretty much dead-on.

Oh what is a good looking mech to you?
Must it look like a Blocky colorful Samurai/lunchbox and make some cool pose gesture with motion lines in the back when it is about to execute it's super mega special attack?

Well the car at least looks like the Green Hornets car from the tv series.

is Seth Rogan still playing the Green Hornet? If so I am out

I'm just leery of Mattel having the toy rights.

Aren't they largely the masters of the non-articulated, poorly detailed, joints snap if toy played with, buy two get one half-off, collecting dust on peg board shelves, only uninformed moms and don't know any better children will drop dime for universe?

Oh, and Barbie. Can't wait to see her mech.

e

You don't like the mech because you've suddenly developed a love for the sleekness of the accelerator suits. Admit it.

I'm loving the 80's look of the mech. It's an A-10 Warthog with legs.

Very nice looking mecha. I'll reserve judgment until there's a trailer though.

I'm genuinely excited for Green Hornet and I have no idea why...

I like the mech.
It looks like something humans would build, bulky and utilitarian.

Which is, once again, AWESOME.

While I like the mech, it looks like the dropship from Aliens decided to become a Transformer.

Like, Avatar: The Last Airbender? I have no idea what the mecha's from.

Like, Avatar: The Last Airbender? I have no idea what the mecha's from.

Just so you know, as obviously you dont have a clue, thats a 1966 Lincoln..same year as the original TV series car...duh...

Just checking to see if you guys were paying attention...ha ha , yes its a 66 Chrysler Imperial...gotcha..lol

Makes me want to pull out the old Mechwarrior game! :P

But am I the only one thinking all that glass around the cockpit better be bulletproof like a jet canopy?

WHEW!!! At first I thought you meant that the mech was from Last Airbender... I'm cool with dicking around a little when a TV series is adapted to a movie, but mechs in Airbender would bug me. *shudder*

The Avatar mech is just a cheap replication from the Japanese mecha anime Votoms, the Harvester mech from T4 is much better than this one. Green Hornet's limo is a little too out of style for today's viewers tastes unless they are planning to set this timeline back in the 60s.

Avatar's AMP suit is infinitely more realistic and practical than the aesthetically pleasing but largely impractical designs in Votoms or T4. Avatar is set in a very grounded near future, so an 'A-10 Warthog with legs' as Brian described above, is exactly what Cameron was aiming for and this delivers in spades.

Does anyone know who manufactured the Black Beauty model for Comic Con??? Someone told me it was www.RetailDisplaysAndProps.com since their group designs and fabricates themed 3-D props, scale replicas and other visual merchandising displays and stuff, but I don't see any pics of it on their . I can't wait for this movie!!!!!
