That is the livery, right? The mercenary's uniform is the color of whoever foots the bill... In the name of going racing, I'd wear worse than that.

(EDIT: Just to clarify and keep alive my habit of writing too much in the hotlink thread , I think what you were referring to was the lack of attempt to weave the different sponsors' logo into one cohesive design; I was sort of thinking about how not doing that is true to what it actually is: panels sold to the highest bidder; if Coke One outbids Pepsi Max tomorrow, one panel changes; not pretty, but honest)

Warning!

It's a fairly contrived story, weak plot, none of the kind of all out brawl the cover art would lead you to believe.

Post Skynet nuclear holocaust, man kind has all but destroyed the Terminators, a hand full of Terminator "scientists" discover the Aliens and intend to use them against mankind. Preditors somehow find out, this will be their greatest war or something along their lines, so Preditors show up to fight Terminators and Aliens. It's been a long time so memory's fuzzy, John Conner is in the story, and some how or another Ripley is too, but I think she's "Resurrection" Ripley, not Ripley from the 1st 3 movies.

I'm an Aliens fanboi, collectors edition box set DVDs, hand full of graphic novels, a few figurines and models I built (boxed up in the attic to appease SWMBO). There's a Dark Horse graphic novel that tells the story after Aliens as if Alien 3 never happened, a much better story than the prison colony/dog buster story, it should have been the script for Alien 3.

Dang it, now I'm going to have to find those books.

This is the second one I've seen this week. I should have checked if they were on sale before I bought the Fiat.
