Agreed there has been some "futuristic" stuff in the past, but it was at least conceivable. When they get to transforming motor cycles and Night Vipers with bat wings they've lost me forever. It's starting to remind me of 1993/94 all over again. Jay, if you like the new stuff I'm happy for you, but it just isn't for me.
