that would be funny looking, I could see the ripples.

That thing is SOOOO COOL!!! How exactly is 'Gina pronounced?

I'm not sure Ramjet... Probably "Gee-na" with a "G" as in Grab, rather than "Jee-na", like the shortened girls name....but I'm just guessing.

So, not "gina' as in Regina, Canada?

(no one's getting my sort of filthy play on words, ala "Forty Year Old Virgin")

10 points to anyone who can guess what it is, (hint it is a plane)

Alternate mode hmmm... theres alot to choose from. This will do for starters though:



A Vauxhall Monaro.

Will have to find some more and add them to the list.

Rumble.


Thats just a pretty commodore one of the most common cars on the road here lol

Send them overseas to be rebadged and what do they send back, bloody astras, and vectra's!!!!
As for rumble I recon the monaros' brother might be more fitting

oh, how did I miss that... more to the point, how did Galvy miss it?

@ Cyclone - no idea what that is. It's engine mountings look crazy!!

Here's another nice looking Alt mode, the Mazda Furai;

Its an experimental soviet long range bomber designed to fly under radar coverage through weird physics. The idea being that it starts out of a port, continues barely above the ocean to the shore and then bombs its target. The problem was, it couldn't handle not perfectly flat terrain. I'll see if I can find the designation.

Mine would be this

A Mc-Cormick MTX-135
Slow but powerfull can pull a 30 tonne load up a 35 degree hill at a speed of 19 mph ( this is the tractor responsible for my recent trip to the med bay)

You're gonna have to slap an Auto-butt sticker on it.

Hah! That's the Ekranoplan! *win*

What was that thing for? Transport?

Its like someone sat down and said, "Howard Hughes is laughing at us, come up with something!"

Did that thing actually fly? All the pics I found of it it's floating or cruising along in water...but not flying.

It flew like a few m above the surface or something, at ridiculous speeds. That picture depicts it flying. It's so low, the air current over its body make waves like a boat through the water, which it's not touching.

Yes. it was for transport... missiles!!! See them weird tubes on top, angled slightly up?

This one is equipped for anti-sub warfare. The biggest one, the KM, is somewhere at the bottom of the caspian sea, i think. Go google some pictures. I've also read that you can see two of the remaining ekranoplans on google earth.


Oh, those Russians...

Good stuff TT,
the 'caspien sea monster', its the worlds heaviest lift aircraft. Over 1000 tonnes cargo capacity or a soviet marine division.It utilises what is know as 'ground effect' greatly reducing drag and increasing its efficency. It creates a cussion of air. Theoredically it can travel across land too in 'ground effect mode'. Or sacrifice cargo capcity for altitude(requires lenghtened wings)
It is higher and longer than the wright bros flight at kittyhawk. After seeing an AN-225 in Russia, and knowing that that thing is bigger agian is just astonishing.
OH I want a madza now

Hemi 'Cuda

oh yeah I like that car Sideways

Sweet car! *wants*

That is Rev's alt. mode in the RP. Excecpt he is Jet black and has a blower on the hood, lol.

I'd like to think I'd have a classic alternate appearance , and here are my choices:


'69 Dino 246 GT


'68 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale


'64 Porsche 904 GTS

Gun to my head, it'd have to be the Porsche.
