GDomino Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 (edited) Saw this over at TBDX and thought you guys would also be blown away like I was. I prordered the DX toys at HLJ. Check out this mospeada-like cyc: Edited March 8, 2004 by GDomino Quote
GDomino Posted March 7, 2004 Author Posted March 7, 2004 BTW, here's the link to HLJ's page for the toys... http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi?Series=Amdriver&Dis=2 Quote
Prowlus Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 the premise is almost like microman and diaclone with a touch of sentai Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Is there an anime series that centers around this toyline? Very sleek designs. Quote
Prowlus Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 in speaking yes I see alot of takara design elements in those toys not suprising since konami bought them out some time ago Quote
GDomino Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 (edited) By the looks of it, an anime series and then a vidogame. Even if the game and the anime blows, I like the designs of the figs and their add-ons. Someone at TBDX found this link to Konami's page. http://www.konami.co.jp/press/2004/02/007/r.16.02.26-e.html The jp page also has some pics on a videogame. http://www.konami.co.jp/press/2004/02/007/r.16.02.26.html Edit: Prowlus beat me to it.

Blaine23 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I like the "cyclone inspired" design quite a bit... the toys looked very Power Rangers, though... It'd be cool if they made a large scale toy of that design. Quote
Guppy Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 http://www.konami.co.jp/press/2004/02/007/r.16.02.26-e.html lol! Beware the BUGSHEEN! Blaine - you're right.. they look like mospeada and power ranger love children. Quote
EXO Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I'm not that excited about the design... which is good... less money to spend... Quote
JELEINEN Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I like the design, but I'm curious to see how well implimented it is in the toy itself. Quote
Myriad Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Interesting! Thanks for the heads up! Me want more info now! Quote
MSW Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 It kind of reminds me of these UFO cather toys... http://www22.pos.to/%7Ebutto/tth0-09.html Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I knew about it for a while, yup it even has Mospeada elements plus Garland from Megazone 23 and I`m still thinking to preorder but you even the pilot suits look like from mospeada http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KNMCC0300 http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KNMCC0304 http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KNMCC0316 http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KNMCC0305 Hmph....... Am Driver sounds like Armo Diver ! Quote
Graham Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Quite like the design of the basic armor. Sorta reminds me of the Hard Suits in Bubble Gum Crisis. That the figures come with what I presume are flying surf boards is enough to put me off though. Some of the accessories, like the bike look nice, others not so nice. Graham Quote
GDomino Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 More pics from this JP site . I really like the looks of the figs. Maybe its them shiny visors!!! Hoverboards be damned...I just won't display them. Anyways, I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about customizing one into a Hikaru (TV) fig. Quote
GDomino Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 ....here's one of the [cyclone-inspired] bike armor. Also, keep in mind that the figures pictured are the smaller boxed trading figures and aren't the regular sized ones (see one of the big legs?). If anything I'm afraid that the bike maybe a bit undersized. Quote
Lynx7725 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Quite like the design of the basic armor. Sorta reminds me of the Hard Suits in Bubble Gum Crisis. That's an idea. Maybe someone can customize these to become BGC Hardsuits? The version 1s, of course. Quote
Blaine23 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I really like the looks of the figs. Maybe its them shiny visors!!! Hoverboards be damned...I just won't display them. But the hoverboards are what make them EXXXXXXTREEEEEME! I'll wait until I see some decent transforming mecha toys before I think these guys are any different than the go, go power rangers. Quote
Graham Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 OK, so we all agree that the toys are cool, but what about the Am Driver anime? Has anybody seen it? Is it any good, or is it a kiddies cartoon? I saw a HK DVD the other day, I think it had the first 12 or 13 eps on it. I was thinking of getting it, but want to hear some opinions first. Graham Quote
DARKWIND Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 It's like this, I have my wife picking up the toys for me since I'm here in San Diego now. I've got my son watching them and he's usually a good judge if Daddy will like it or not. . . Still waiting for his reply. . . Quote
