The Zentraedi \"Glaug\" Officers' Battlepod(I know that it became the Battletech standard Inner Sphere Marauder in the mid-1980s, since FASA illegally got the image for it from Macross):

(I got this wallpaper from coolwallpaper.com)

BTW, Defender,
that image in your desktop looks pretty, what's the image from(out of curiosity)?

This is the Sombrero Galaxy. They applied a new kinda filter so now we're able to see the actual core of the system. I've had this for about a month now. I just can't get over how intensely bright the core is.

I used to watch Rurouni Kenshin in high school when it was aired on Cartoon Network. I haven't gotten the DVD seasons though I'm planning to one day.

My current desktop(related to the Macross part of Robotech):

The WP is a custom of mine(with screen captures that I took with PowerDVD and some random images of the mecha). Most Battletech fans(like me) knew that the Tomahawk Destroid became the standard Inner Sphere Warhammer(unseen).
