Neoscream's Life for the 23rd to the 29th of July

MAN-03 Braw Bro
Welcome to another week of my life. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last was the audit at work and I received my brick of Marvel Chaos War, but did last week bring.

On Monday morning I posted a HeroClix Listing. My mum was going into the hospital today for her shoulder operation to remove some boney growths in her shoulder that were limiting movement and coursing a lot of pain. She left to the hospital the same time I went to work. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. At work I had a little problem with tomorrows hours, I asked them on Saturday last week if I could start at 12PM on Tuesday so that my dad could open up on Tuesday were he work as someone needed to be at home just incase my mum is let out of the hospital early. He should be back home about 11AM. Work was fine with it on Saturday so my dad was now work Tuesday morning. However work scheduled me to start at 10:30AM on Tuesday. After a bit of talk and the fact I could not start earlier due to plans made, I would be starting at 12PM (may be earlier if my dad was on time or early). When I got home the HeroClix 3D Object from Marvel Chaos War had arrived in the post. When me and my dad visited my mum in hospital we found she was aloud to go home now. The doctor had to do more work to the shoulder than first planned, but everything went well.
Watched: Episodes 2 to 6 of season 2 of Transformers: Prime.


On Tuesday morning I helped my mum out, posted last week's Neoscream's Life post and ordered stuff from Reaper Miniatures and Hasslefree Miniatures. My dad phoned about half an hour before I needed to leave to work saying that he will not be back until 1PM now. So I had to leave her on her own, which was a problem as she needed someone to be with her foe 48 hours after the operation. I worked from 12PM to 2:40PM. When I got home I I found my dad did not get home until 2PM. Also he no longer had tomorrow off to look after her now to the a heavy lack of staff, but he said he would try to get home early.
Watched: Episodes 18 and 19 of Mobile Suit Gundam Victory and episode 7 of Transformers: Prime. 
Listened: Episode 326 of Anime Pulse and episode 90 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.


On Wednesday morning I helped my mum out and posted another HeroClix Listings post. I worked from 12PM to 4:30PM. Sadly I got home before before dad did. Some early finish. some time during the day I received an e-mail from Reaper Miniature saying that my order from them is in the post. In the evening I finally got around to putting together a second team for HeroClix.
Watched: Part of episode 1000 of WWE Raw, episode 41 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and episode 8 of Transformers: Prime.

On Thursday I worked from 11AM to 5:15PM. In the evening I received a text from Darren S as I was about to leave for HeroClix. The text was that HeroClix was cancelled as Adrian was sick. So I posted a DreamClix post so I did not need to mess about with it tomorrow.
Watched: The rest of episode 1000 of WWE Raw and episode 9 of Transformers: Prime.


On Friday I posted the final (for now) HeroClix Listings post. On the way to work I received an e-mail saying my Hasslefree Miniatures order was now in the posted. I worked from 12PM to 5:40PM. After work I made two HeroClix orders, one on eBay for stuff from the Marvel Chaos War main set and one from Blue Rat Games for stuff from the Marvel Chaos War Gravity Feed set.
Watched: Episodes 400 and 401 of One Piece.
Listened: Episodes 91 and 92 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.

At coffee on Saturday was me, Richard, Darren H and Lisa. Richard was about half an hour late and Darren H and Lisa was under an hour late. We did not have time to go to Waterstones after coffee. I started work at 12PM. We were down four members of staff on what should be the busyest day of the month. However we were dead. The quietest Saturday I have seen in a long time. I ended up finishing at 3:15PM with a break. Before going to bed I undercoated some more figures.
Watched: Episode 10 of season 2 of Transformers: Prime, episode 402 of One Piece, this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown and episode 20 of Mobile Suit Gundam Victory.
Listened: Episode 93 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.


Sunday was a day off work. I updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page, started painting a bunch of figures, wrote and finally posted on time this week's Cosmic Cosplay post. The figures I started painting was the the extra figures to turn my Kung-Fu Detective School from 100 rates to 150 ratings and a Silicon Warrior. There was no role-play this week as Richard was busy.
Watched: Episodes 6 to 8 of Playhouse Presents and episode 21 of Mobile Suit Gundam Victory.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 23rd to the 29th of July

Dolly and Porphyria in "Exterminate"
Hi all and welcome to Cosmic Cosplay post. Cosmic Cosplay is a weekly post that (normally) happens on a Sunday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets, any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about, information about updates for CosmicBreak and three DreamClix ideas/designs.

First off are this week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was revisit of a set from the deviant StellaChuu, called Observer. In it she cosplays as Yuki Nagato from Melancony of Haruhi Suzimiya. The set on Saturday was a duo set from the deviants Dolly and Porphyria. This new set is called Exterminate and in it they cosplays as Amy Pond in her Police Officer uniform and a humanoid Dalek from Doctor Who.

Next is the CosmicBreak update news. Another Mega Gara has been added to the game called Mega Violin Gara that features characters like Orin and Rone. Also another tournament is being planned.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing ideas for Zero Fighter from CosmicBreak and a special MFC Cosplay card. But first here are designs of Sonya Blade and the Mortal Kombat.


Next is Zero Fighter from CosmicBreak. His story started from "zero", but has since grown to involve many robots. Has taken up the sword again to fight alongside his comrades. This bot should be like Zero Saber, but with Energy Explosion. The next CosmicBreak idea should be King Megaton (not Megatron).

Lastly is the special MFC Cosplay card as this is the second chase card. Who is it? There are several cosplayers on MFC (talking about comic book and anime Cosplay, not the police officer, nurse and student type). To name a several non Cosplay Deviant cosplayers on MFC I know of: BadBadysitter (also known as Honey Chain), BadyZelda, Kiyoko and Omisuki. However this card is not based on one of them. If you know be and followed the blog from the beginning you might be able to guess who I will be doing, BLAIRE or KnottyBlaire as she goes by now. Blaire is a young fashion designer who is into vinyl records and anything to do with Zombies. She should not gain any keywords and she should gain the MFC team abilities. Her special should be: This character gains Probability Control. Give this Character a power action, one adjacent friendly character gains Shape Change. Her half price list should be: Zombie, Laundry Basket characters with “Zombie” in their name.

Well that is it for this post. Until next time, Mecha Up.

DreamClix (Oolong) Special

Welcome to another DreamClix special post. HeroClix was cancelled at the very last moment, so the Batman Begins game is pushed back a week AGAIN. Will it ever happen. Now for the HeroClix news for this week. This week there were previews of the two versions of Iron Man from Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary; and Hawkman from DC Justice League 52. On personal news I have received the the Iron Man Suitcase a Tank Turret 3D objects from Marvel Chaos War in the post on Monday.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for five different forms of Oolong from Dragon Ball, Dracule Mihawk from One Piece and the Shichibukai team ability. But first I have designs of Brother of Ninja Murasaki from Dragon Ball; Gonzu from Battle Angel Alita; the duo figure of Patty and Carne from One Piece; Hog Rider from Bleach: and Lizard Grunt from Thundercats.



Next is Oolong from Dragon Ball. Oolong is a shape shifting pig, who met Bulma and Goku while on their quest finding the Dragon Balls. After their adventure, he begins living at Capsule Corporation in West City. He plays a large role in the beginning of Dragon Ball, but by the end of Dragon Ball Z, he just shows up from time to time in the company of Master Roshi. I had done Oolong before as a single figure, but I have decided to redo him use several figures and the Morph ability. But first let us see what the old idea was:
(He should have Shape Change and a special for each oif his clicks to repesent defferant forms.
Form 1 - Samuri: Oolong can use Blades and Invulnerability. He also has the Armour keyword.
Form 2 - Bull: Oolong can use Charge and Toughness. Also if he uses Charge, his damage value 3 for the attack.
Form 3 - Buluma: Oolong can use Incapacitate as if he has range 6 and Shape Change but on a 4 to 6.
Form 4 - Bat: Oolong has the fight ability and can use Stealth, Close Combat Reflexes and Energy Shield Deflection.
He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 7, Attack 8, Defence 17, Damage 1 and Range 0. He should have the Dragon Ball TA and the keywords Dragon Ball Gang and Animal.)
Now with the new versions of Oolong I will have a figure for each of these forms plus a standard form for Oolong, all sporting the trait "MORPH(Oolong)".
MORPH(Oolong): Give Oolong a move or close combat action that deals no pushing damage. After the action resolves, replace him with any character with this trait on the same click number.

The standard version of Oolong should have Shape Change and Probability Control. He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 7, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 0. He should have the Dragon Ball team ability and the keywords Dragon Ball Gang and Animal.

The Samurai Robot version of Oolong should have Blades, Invulnerability and Toughness. He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. He should not have a team ability and the keywords Armour, Martial Artist and Robot.

The Bull version of Oolong should have a special called "Bull Rush" and Toughness.
Bull Rush: Oolong can use Charge. If he uses Charge, his damage value becomes 3 for the attack.
He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 10, Attack 9, Defence 15, Damage 2 and Range 0. He should not have a team ability and the keywords Animal and Brute.

The Buluma version of Oolong should have Incapacitate, Shape Change and Mastermind. He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 18, Damage 0 and Range 6 with three targets. He should have the Dragon Ball team ability and the keywords Dragon Ball Gang and Spy.

The Bat version of Oolong should have the Flight symbol, the Tiny symbol Stealth. He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 10, Attack 7, Defence 18, Damage 0 and Range 0. He should not have a team ability and the keyword Animal. There will be more forms for Oolong in the future. The next Dragon Ball idea should be another shape shifter, Pu'ar.

Next is Dracule Mihawk from One Piece. Dracule "Hawk-Eyes" Mihawk is a member of the Shichibukai and the current holder of the title, "Greatest Swordsman in the World". Much of Mihawk's past remains a mystery. However, he once saw a strong rival in Shanks. Their battles were said to shake the whole of the Grand Line and Mihawk often sought Shanks out for duels. After Shanks lost his arm ten years before the story, Mihawk ceased seeking him out for duels. At some point Mihawk earned the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman" as well as joined the ranks of the Shichibukai. He was among those present at Gol D. Roger's execution. He also made the castle of Kuraigana Island his home. Mihawk had been responsible for single-handedly destroying Don Krieg's entire fleet, excluding Krieg's flagship, during his failed attempt at entering and conquering the Grand Line. The destruction of Krieg's fleet drove the pirate from the Grand Line. He then followed Don Krieg to East Blue, to the Baratie and destroyed their flagship. While at the Baratie, he encountered the Straw Hat Pirates, and Zoro immediately challenged him. Mihawk was able to block all three of Zoro's swords with the tip of his necklace blade, finally stabbing him in the chest with it. Mihawk was so impressed by Zoro's spirit, however, that he granted him a face-off against the Black Sword. Zoro then performed his strongest technique, Sanzen Sekkai, but Mihawk completely overpowered it and shattered two of his three swords in the process (all but the Wado Ichimonji). Zoro, admitting his total defeat, allowed himself to be cut down by Mihawk face-to-face, like a true swordsman. Mihawk accepted this offer and cleaved open a massive diagonal cut across Zoro's entire chest, but held back just enough to allow Zoro to live. Luffy had already struck out at the Shichibukai unsuccessfully when Zoro tearfully called out to him, proclaiming that no matter what, he would never lose again. Afterwards, Mihawk told Zoro his full name, and gave him a challenge:
“It's still too early for you to die. My name is Dracule Mihawk! Discover your true self, the true world, become stronger! However long it may take, I shall await you at the top. Surpass this sword! Surpass me! Roronoa Zoro!!! ”— Mihawk's challenge to Zoro.
After hearing Zoro's goals and giving him a challenge, Mihawk asked Luffy what his goal was. When Luffy told Mihawk it was to be Pirate King, Mihawk told him that was even harder than surpassing him. With the events against Zoro over, Mihawk decided it's time he headed back to the Grand Line for a nap. Don Krieg took offense to the Shichibukai's attitude towards his men and launched an attack on him. Mihawk simply called out "You fool!" and in one final strike struck at Krieg's ship again, causing the already wrecked ship to fall further into pieces. When the dust cleared Mihawk was nowhere to be seen. At this point in time of with the set the above is all that is known about Mihawk. So like with Gin from Bleach this dial will not be a truely represent Mihawk in a real fight. He should have Super Senses, Close Combat Reflexes, Probability Control, Blades and a trait called "World's Greatest Swordsman".
World's Greatest Swordsman: All damage dealt by Dracule Mihawk is Penetrating and he ignores other characters Super Senses and Close Combat Reflexes if they cost 100 points or less.
He should have eight clicks of health and starting values of Movement 7, Attack 12, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 0. He should have the Shichibukai team ability and his keywords should be Shichibukai and Pirate.

Next is the Shichibukai team ability: Characters that process the Shichibukai team ability can use Willpower. Uncopyable. The next One Piece idea should be Pearl.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Sunday I did the first of two Mobile Suit Gundam UC updates. The new dial design is shown below. There should be at least an update to the page on Sunday. In this update I will be the second Mobile Suit Gundam UC update.


Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.

MAM-07 Grabro
Welcome to another week of my life. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last was the first game of 7TV I ran, but did last week bring.

On Monday before work I posted the Cosmic Cosplay post I was meant to post yesterday. I worked from 11:30AM to 6:10PM with out a break. The Audit finally helped at work. When I got home I finished of writing last week's Neoscream's Life post as I did not have a lunch break or a bus ride home to do it. I also ordered a couple of HeroClix bits (listed in a MK HeroClix post), downloaded a game called SD Gundam Capsule Fighter and added the new (4th) opening to Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Watched: Episode 40 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Read: Chapters 97 to 98 of Dragon Ball.
Brought and Received: I received volume 9 of the Dragon Ball manga in the post.


A group shot of the Black Knights
On Tuesday morning I posted last week's Neoscream's Life post before going to work. I also tried some SD Gundam Capsule Fighter. The idea was good, but I seem to have problems with it. I worked from 11AM to 4:30PM without a break again. Today we had a visit from the big wigs at work do to the Audit. Both the Audit and visit went well to so degree. The only problems we had was due to things the staff and store management have no control over. When I got home I started painting again and posted a HeroClix Listings post. With painting now I started work on Rory Williams, Amy Pond in her police officer uniform, Zero, Ohgi and two Black Knights (Shinichirō Tamaki and Yoshitaka Minami). I also did a little more work on the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond in casual cloths and base all the figures that needed basing that I had done. Oh and I also doubled checked a couple of things in the 7TV rulebook and noticed we did status removal, Luck re-rolls and moral rolls for Shaken and Wiped Out wrong. However this doing these wrong help the other players than hinder them.
Watched: This year’s WWE Money in the Bank.
Read: The Interval chapter of Code Geass Stage 2 Knight and chapters 99 and 100 of Dragon Ball.


On Wednesday I worked from 11AM to 5PM. After work I did a bit more painting where I finished of Zero and a bit more modelling on Jaws and the second contest figure. I also put together a Batman team for HeroClix tomorrow, posted a Pokémon Black and White 2 anime trailer on this blog and download a new Android game called Galaxy Assault.
Watched: Part of this week’s WWE Raw.
Read: Chapter 101 of Dragon Ball.

On Thursday I worked from 11:30AM to 3:30PM. When I got home I posted another HeroClix Listings post and a little bit of painting before going to HeroClix. Also I played a bit of Galaxy Assault and posted a new trailer to Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito on this blog.
Watched: Rest of this week’s WWE Raw and episode 19 of Fairy Tail.


On Friday morning I did not post the HeroClix post before work as I still had a late of work to do on it. I worked from 11PM to 4:50PM without a break yet again. When my mum got home from her last day of work for awhile (she is going to hospital for an operation on her left shoulder), she had the brick of Marvel Chaos War I had ordered from 13th Floor. So before I posted the HeroClix post I opened up the boosters to see what I got. I will be listing what I got on the HeroClix Listings post next Friday (27th of July). However the non generic doubles I pulled 2 Space Phantoms, Miss Marvel, Captain America, Nitro, Dinah Soar, Wasp (Hank Pym), Ant-Man (Hank Pym) and Donald Blake. Sadly there was no Iron Man, only one Iron Man Drone and one Ultron Drone. Afterwards I posted the MK HeroClix post.
Watched: A Gadget Show web clip (Playstation Move First Play).

At coffee on Saturday was me, Richard, Darren H and Lisa. We talked a bit about Darren's birthday plans. After coffee we went to Waterstones apart from Lisa who went back to work as she was on a lunch break. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. When I got home I did some more painting.
Watched: Episode 19 of Mobile Suit Gundam OO season 2 and this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown.
Read: Chapter 102 of Dragon Ball and chapter 4 of part 3 of Mobile Suit Gundam Ecole Du Ciel (finishing volume 8).


Sunday was a day off work. I posted the HeroClix Listings that I was meant to post yesterday, updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page, posted a dial design I forgot to post in last week's HeroClix post, finish painting the figures I was painting (I will try to post pictures at a later date), wrote and finally posted on time this week's Cosmic Cosplay post. I also started to watch an Anime that I originally did not bover to check out.  The Anime was Tiger and Bunny. When it first came out I never checked it out after seeing a promo picture and did not like the style, but I came across a trailer for it today and learned more about it and found I really liked it. I somehow must of blanked its review on Anime Pulse as I knew they liked it, but can never remember them talking about what it was about. It is a recommended watch for Superhero fans.
Watched: Episodes 1 to 4 of Tiger and Bunny.
Listened: Episode 89 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.

Openings and Endings: Tiger & Bunny opening 1


(Sorry cannot find one non mirrored)

Life as a super hero is never easy

The city of Stern Bild is protected by corporate superheroes known as NEXT, who fight crime while promoting their sponsors on the popular show “HERO TV.” Veteran hero Wild Tiger relies on his years of experience and instincts to fight crime, but his tendency to destroy public property for the sake of protecting the lives of the innocent has earned him the nickname “Crusher for Justice.” Now, under orders from his new employer, Wild Tiger finds himself forced to team up with Barnaby Brooks Jr., a rookie with an attitude. Two polar opposites work to fight evil in this thrilling buddy-hero action series!

Revive Sound is a special status effect that may only be granted once, and allows the affected unit to automatically recover 150 HP one time just as its HP hits 0. Also three new Mega class Garapons are now available. The Mega SUGOI Gara and Mega EVE Gara each contain a wide selection of rare moe characters, and the Mega ROBO Gara contains a handpicked line-up of CosmicBreak's most popular robots. The second chibi in the Mini Chibi Collection Campaign has been added to the Rt store. This time it is a chibi of Elisa. ALL Rt Shop content, including Robots (except for Elisa-chan), Items, Parts, and Weapons, has been marked down 20%! This sale will only be in effect until 23th of August, so now is the time to buy that weapon you have always been curious about, or stock up on Tune Up supplies. And lastly in celebration of the big update this week, there is a weeklong 1.5x multipliers on UC, Exp, and Drop Rate. The multipliers will remain on until the next maintenance on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing ideas for Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Yu-Gi-Oh! team ability and a Convention hall map for Cosplay Deviants. But first here is a design of Ivis from CosmicBreak.


Next is Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh!. A youngster who grew up playing games by himself, Yugi later received the pieces of the ancient Egyptian artefact called the Millennium Puzzle from his grandfather, Sugoroku. As such, Yugi spent eight years trying to solve it. When he eventually succeeded, Yugi unknowingly undid a binding spell created by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Atem, who had sealed the magic of the Shadow Games in the Puzzle and the other Millennium Items thousands of years ago in order to stop the victory of the evil demon Zorc Necrophades. The Pharaoh had bound the spell with his own name and sealed his own soul within the puzzle; when Yugi solved the puzzle, both the magic of the Shadow Games and Atem's soul were released, and Yugi's body became host to the spirit of Atem, resulting in Yugi gaining another half while changing the youngster's life forever. At first, Yugi has no awareness of the presence of this second personality within himself, which emerges in times of stress and takes control of his body. The spirit of Atem also would emerge from the Millennium Puzzle to take control of Yugi's body for the purposes of dueling others in the card game; rather than entirely supplanting Yugi's personality, as he had before, there was a degree of interplay between the two, wherein Yugi was aware of his surroundings and the events of the duel, but unaware of the presence of the pharaoh guiding his hand. After a contest with Ryo Bakura, in which Yugi's soul was removed from his body, he and his friends came to understand that an additional soul existed within Yugi's body when the pharaoh's soul, left in the body alone, took control of it and defeated Bakura in their contest. This led to "Dark Yugi" being referred to as "the other Yugi" by Yugi's friends, and as "the other me" or "my other self" by Yugi himself. Additionally, Dark Yugi calls Yugi "partner". When it was revealed that "Dark Yugi" was the spirit of the pharaoh, he became known as the Nameless Pharaoh, as his true name was unknown even to him, although everyone besides Yugi himself would refer to Atem as 'Yugi' nonetheless. Solicitations and summaries for the English-language release of the manga refer to the pharaoh as Yu-Gi-Oh, from the title of the series meaning "King of Games." Additionally, various English-language sources, notably video games, draw on the Japanese terminology and refer to the character as Yami Yugi. The English language translation of the series began referring to the character as Yami for the duration of the second season (to justify the "Yami Yugi" moniker without having to involve the Japanese language in the explanation), but this dropped early in the third season, and characters began to refer to Atem as "Pharaoh" without explanation to the sudden reversal of naming. On the other hand, Atem calls Yugi 'Yugi' instead of partner. When the pharaoh takes control of Yugi's body, Yugi's undergoes a growth spurt, gaining additional streaks of yellow in his hair, and has differently shaped eyes. Additionally, in the first series, Yugi's eyes were purple and Atem's were red. Also during the Duelist Kingdom arc, his shoes change when the Pharaoh takes over, from tennis shoes to what seemed like heeled boots. Whether or not such a transformation occurs within the fictional "world" of the series, however, is unclear, as no characters ever remark on his physical change, though some remark him as 'looking taller on TV'. Yugi's voice changes – in the manga, when the transformation happens in the presence of Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner in the English dub), who had her eyes closed at the time, the Pharaoh's voice was so different that she did not realize that Yugi was the speaker. In the English language dub of the first episode of the NAS/Studio Gallop anime, Seto Kaiba also notices a change in Yugi's voice. On several other occasions, other characters who possess Millennium Items are able to tell the two apart. In the 4kids dub, Yugi's thoughts while under the Pharaoh's control have the voice of Yugi himself instead of the Pharaoh (with the exception of the Doma Orichalcos arc, where Yugi's soul is captured), while in the Japanese dub (as well as the uncut English dub), the voice retains that of the current host. Yugi has a mother and a father; his father is away on business, so Yugi does not see him, and his mother has a brief appearance in the managa. Yugi's parents were written out in the English dub done by (the nightmare) 4Kids. He should have two specials called “ALTER EGO: Other Yugi”, “Kuribo”, Defend, Psychic Blast and Support.
ALTER EGO: Other Yugi: Give Yugi Mutou a power action that deals no pushing damage and replace this character with #YGO-002 Yami Yugi on its orange starting line. After actions resolve, even if this power is lost, Yami Yugi may use Outwit or Perplex. This power cannot be countered.
Kuribo: Yugi Mutou can use Regeneration. Once per turn Yugi Mutou can ignore all deal to him from a single attack.
He should have about four and five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 1 and Range 4 with one target. His team ability should be the Yu-Gi-Oh! and his keywords should be Kid, Duelist and Mystical. The next Yu-Gi-Oh idea should be Yami Yugi and the next standard Other section idea should be Sam Witwicky’s pogs.

Next is the Yu-Gi-Oh! team ability: Characters with the Yu-Gi-Oh! team ability can use Perplex if they are adjacent to two or more friendly characters adjacent to them, but only on them self. Uncopyable.

Lastly is a Convention Hall map for Cosplay Deviant. As the name of the map shows, this will be a Convention Hall, must likely based of Comic Con. It should be an indoor map with lots of walls and hindering terrain. I plan on having a WizKids (or NECA) stand and a Cosplay Deviants stand, most likely in the starting zone.

Well that is it for this post. Until next time, Mecha Up.

OOPS

I had just noticed that I forget to post the dial Design of Gin Ichimaru from Bleach in the HeroClix post on the 12th of July. Sorry for the wait, here he is.

MK HeroClix, the 19th of July, The Green Chaos Group

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post. Sorry for the post being later than normal, due to several things: Change of format, not getting the idea for Sam Witwicky done in time, a new game on my tablet called Galactic Assault and receiving my Marvel Chaos War brick today. First off the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of the White Queen, Emma Frost and two Green Goblins from Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary; two Green Lanterns from Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary; and Deathstroke and Zatanna from DC Justice League 52. Also a new Player's Guide has be posted up by WizKids. It has the 2012 Rulebook version of all the powers and abilities, the new Improved Sight/Move rules and a ton of new ATA's for Marvel Chaos War. Oh and I forget to state last week that Marvel Chaos War is out now. On personal news I have ordered the LE Iron Man from Marvel Galactic Guardians and both the Iron Man Suitcase a Tank Turret 3D objects from Marvel Chaos War. Oh and if you did not read it above, I received my Marvel Chaos War brick today. I will be listing what I pulled on Friday next week on the final HeroClix Listings post.

The HeroClix game this week was changed at last moment as he has just got his Marvel Chaos War brick. We did a 400 points two boosters sealed event using his boosters. (Returning the figures to his at the end.) I pulled Egghead, Space Phantom, Shadow Council Soldier, Tony Stark, Max Fury, Sharon Carter, Iron Man, Victoria Hand, Ares and Kang. My end team was:

Sharon Carter (022) 45
Iron Man (024) 110
Victoria Hand (033) 40
Ares (034) 199
=394 points and four re-rolls.

I was considering Kang, but decided to go for a Avengers team. On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using an Avengers theme team to who were:

Ant-Man (015) 75
Wasp (016) 75
Wolverine (029) 90
Binary (043) 158
=397 points and four re-rolls.

The new Wolverine is a tough figure for his points. I ended up losing this game. Darren KO'd my whole force while I only KO'd Wasp. Also Adrian won his match against his brother Michael. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was using an Avengers theme team as well who were:

Captain America (001) 60
Ant-Man (026) 43
Wolverine (029) 90
Thor (038) 200
=393 points and four re-rolls.

I was worried about this game at first due to Thor and Wolverine, but Ares showed the what it means to be a God of War, with Victoria's Attack boost and Iron Man's Outwit. I ended up winning this game with only losing Victoria. Also Adrian won his match against Darren. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was using a none theme team who were:

Genis-Vell
Shadow Council Soldier (009) 32
Genis-Vell (027) 200
Ant-Man and Wasp (053) 168
=400 points and no re-rolls.

Genis-Vell's special Preplex is too nasty ad he normally gets what he wants or something still useful. The Power Comic does not help ever. I managed to KO'd both Shadow Council Soldier and the Ant-Man and Wasp duo, but my hold team was KO'd. Also Darren won his match against Michael. Over all Adrian won the game. Here are the scores. Sorry do not have his score from the game against Darren.

Adrian W 393, W 397, W 394 = 3 wins 1184
Darren W 394, L 200, W 393 = 2 wins 987
Robert L 75, W 393, L 200 = 1 win 668
Michael L 32, L 40 L ? = No wins 72 + ?

Next week SHOULD be (unless something happens again) Batman Begins. 300 points, must have ever a Batman (Characters with names like The Dark Knight or Bruce Wayne are treated as Batman for this) or Ra's al Ghul on you team. You may begin two teams.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for Oerba Yun Fang from Final Fantasy XII; a Tank bystander token from the Gundam universes; Zaku Abumi from Naruto; and Sam Witwicky from the Transformers live action movies. But first I have designs of Brian J. Mason from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040; Stocking Anarchy from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt; KittyStar Tenten from Naruto; and the RX-77 Guncannon from the original Mobile Suit Gundam.


Next is Oerba Yun Fang from Final Fantasy XII. Oerba Yun Fang is a 21-year old l'Cie from Oerba Village on Gran Pulse who is awakened thirteen days prior to the start of the game along with Oerba Dia Vanille. Eight days before the game's start, they inadvertently caused Sazh's son Dajh to be branded a Sanctum l'Cie. After she helped Vanille escape, she began serving as Cid Raines' subordinate in the Cavalry. She eventually meets Snow at Lake Bresha and becomes his partner as part of Cid's plan to find the remaining l'Cie. She later befriends Lightning while fighting off the PSICOM soldiers in Palumpolum. The two meet up with Snow and Hope at Bartholomew's house. After rescuing Sazh and Vanille on board the Palamecia, she and Vanille reunite. On Gran Pulse, despite Vanille's protests, Fang reveals that she was responsible for scarring Cocoon centuries earlier. Despite the party's pleas for Fang to not transform into Ragnarok, Fang eventually transforms and fights Orphan alone, but gets tortured as a result of her failure, only to be saved by Lightning's group. After Orphan's destruction, Fang and Vanille complete their Focus by becoming Ragnarok to save Cocoon from crashing into Gran Pulse. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Fang and Vanille appear to help Serah escape from the endless dream in the Void Beyond that Caius placed her in. She should have Stealth, Charge, Leap Climb, Improved Sight (Hindering), Furry, Incapacitate, Energy Explosion, Toughness and Combat Reflexes. She should have about six or seven clicks of health and starting Combat Values of Speed 9, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 2 or 3 and Range 4 with one target. Her team ability should be the Final Fantasy one and her keywords should be Final Fantasy XIII, l'Cie and Gran Pulse. The next Final Fantasy idea should be Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII.

Next is a Tank bystander token from the Gundam universes. It should a trait called "Battlefield Ruble", Range Combat Expert, Toughness and Indomitable.
Battlefield Ruble: When Tank is KO'd roll a D6. On a roll of 5 or 6 place Heavy Object token where the tank was.
Its Combat Values should be Speed 5, Attack 9, Defence 15, Damage 1 and Range 8 with one target. The next Gundam UC idea should be the Guntank.

Next is Zaku Abumi from Naruto. Zaku Abumi was a genin-level ninja from Otogakure. He took part in the Chūnin Exams under orders from Orochimaru to kill Sasuke Uchiha. Unlike his team-mates, Zaku's background is briefly shown. The anime shows that he was an orphan that lived on the streets and stole for a living, and was almost always beaten for it. When Orochimaru found him, he told Zaku that he saw a potential in him and offered to help him develop it in exchange for his loyalty, which Zaku accepted. From that day forward he refused to give up, even at the cost of his own life, not knowing that Orochimaru only took him in as a disposable pawn. He should have a trait called "GROUP(Sound Genin)", a special called "Sound Jutsu", Stealth, Incapacitate, Force Blast and an end click Psychic Blast. GROUP is a new mechanic I have designed for sub teams. If a character is adjacent to another character with the a keyword that is in the brackets, they both gain a the bonus from the Trait. (As you may have noticed Tenten's spots the new trait as well.
GROUP(Sound Genin): If Zaku Abumi is adjacent to at least a character with the Sound Genin, both him and all adjacent characters with the Sound Genin keyword gain Stealth.
Sound Jutsu: All attacks from this character deals knockback.
He should have about five or six clicks of health and starting Combat Values of Speed 9, Attack 10, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 5 with two targets. His team ability should be the Ninja one and his keywords should be Sound Village and Sound Genin. The next Naruto idea should be a duo figure of Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki.

Next Sam Witwicky from the Transformers live action movies. Samuel James "Sam" Witwicky is a typical adolescent human with an atypical destiny. He quite often ends up in the crossfire in the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. He can seem to be a coward sometimes, but he has the makings of a true leader. When he bought a car, it turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew? Also, his pheromone levels suggest that he wants to mate with Mikaela Banes.  He should have two traits called "LadiesMan217" and "Autobot Partner", a special called "A Fragment Of The All Spark", Stealth and Perplex.
LadiesMan217: When building a force with Sam Witwicky in it, reduced the cost of one Object with the Relic ability by two points.
Autobot Partner: When a friendly character named Bumblebee is adjacent to Sam Witwicky, Sam Witwicky modifies his Defence value by +1 and Bumblebee modifies his Attack value by +1 if not already modified by this ability.
A Fragment Of The All Spark: Give Sam Witwicky a power action. Ever replace a Light Object with a Toaster Bot pod, a Heavy Object with a Soda Machine Bot pog or a Immobile Object with a Drone pod. (Pogs will come at a later date.)
He should have about three or four clicks of health and starting Combat Values of Speed 7, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 0. His should not have a team ability and his keywords should be Autobots, NEST and Witwicky Family. The next Transformers Live Action Movies idea should be the pods from Sam Witwicky's ability.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Sunday I did the second Mobile Suit Gundam AGE update. The two new pilot designs are shown below. There should be at least an update to the page on Sunday. In this update I will be adding Mobile Suit Gundam UC to the DreamClix Dial Designs page.


Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.
