1st Border Red Devil Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Whats interesting about the Tri-Charger and several other designs from Zillion is that they were originally preproduction designs for Robotech II: The Sentinels. I believe the Tri-Charger, of course, was supposed to be the prototype Cyclone system. Quote

Kin Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 It's not a ride armor but i would like to mention this gobot/machine robo toy, This baby is pretty well articulated... but very rare Quote
Valkyrie Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I've got a copy of that Anime Bike book. Great book! I found it at Anime Central a couple years ago. I took one look at it, saw the names of a few of the series it covers that are listed on the cover (namely, Akira, Megazone, Mospeada, and Bubblegum Crisis), and said "I'll take it" on the spot. I expected it to be some old, rare book that I'd have to pay out the nose for. Imagine my surprise when they told me it was a mere $25 It's really an incredible book. It's about 140 pages of motorcycles (variable and not) from every anime you can think of (that had a bike in it), and then 100 or so more! All arranged chronoligically. It's really amazing just how thorough this book is. Anyway, a quick Yahoo search turned up this yahoo store, which has it available for $30. A small-ish pic of the cover too. http://store.yahoo.com/animenation/4890486607.html Quote
EXO Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Anyway, a quick Yahoo search turned up this yahoo store, which has it available for $30.
