Mr Weber, with all respect, I think you are loosing control of the destiny of the Honor Harrington novel series. My sum of all fears here is that the Movie is going to be a $high budget$ bomb.

Again, respectfully, I am not liking what I am seeing here. Not one bit sir. Is it possible for a great author NOT to lose control of a great book when it gets filmed? HB of CJ (old coot) :( :(

Yup - totally concur - Nimitz the Resident Evil Zombie cat!

:evil: :roll:

or maybe a Threstral without wings...

Alternatively, this is the Mesan version of a 'enhanced' treecat.

It got a yes vote??


It's an axiom of the internet.
Every forum, every poll has at least one troll :)


Troll cat?

Must be the artist voting.

One positive thing - at least Honor doesn't look like a sulky teenager in this one. Has a good strong face.

Too big. Kind of reptile like too. Looks like the iguana that a friend I used to work with had.

I always thought the original treecat art was too big.

Hoping for normal cat plus 20-30% not 230%. May have been a bad telephone line.

My problem is not the shining, although with only six grenades that does raise eyebrows, as such, we do know that tribarrels exist because of heat disipation issues (at least in vacuum), but the second barrel, I doubt that even at 'full auto', which would be something like ten rounds a second, that a second barrel would be needed.

I might buy that explanation if it wasn´t for how all "barrels" are shining(without anything exploding).

Monster cross between a monkey and those horrid ultra persians some of use yanks have bred to suffer in the name of perfection

Those hind legs belong on a goat

:lol:


Poll currently at 55-1. Not surprised. How surprising.

When I see a picture of a treecat I'll tell you what I think of it. :evil:

The coloring immediately makes me think Nimitz is a robot dog rather than an alien. Ignoring the coloring, the body itself isn't that bad, but it looks a bit too much like a short hair dog, probably due to the coloring making it look more short hair than fluffy. The head just reemphasizes the robot feeling as my first thought is it looks like Optimus Prime.

I just have one thing to say about this version of Nimitz. NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO and finally HELL NO. That thing looks like a cross between an alien, a lizard and someones nightmare. Hell I would rather have the demented beaver from the alternate (US) hard back cover of OBS. Heck even the Japanese cover looks better. If Stephanie had spotted that thing coming out of the greenhouse with a stash of purloined celery, she would've run into the house screaming "Dad ,dad get the shotgun".

Just what exactly is that thing supposed to be?

Oh. It's Nimitz. I see.

No.
