Robotech Academy - You want a new Robotech series...?
Mommar replied to Einherjar's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm not sure who "everybody" is who knows it won't be ready for a few more months but they've shown all, or close to all, of the completed sprues, boxes, manuals, etc... now. There's no quality issues I'm aware of, other then people who don't understand how to build a miniature throwing a giant internet hissy fit. As I said, Palladium is always late. Over a year late is par for the course for them on every book they've ever released. I honestly don't know of any lies you're referring to specifically, if you have a list I would like to see it. Not wanting to back this project makes sense for MANY reasons since it can't be anything more than terrible (advertising the writer is the same one from Shadow Chronicles is like asking people to NOT back it) in addition to never being finished (Robotech 3000, Shadow Chronicles itself, etc...), par for the course for anything planned by Harmony Gold. But mixing up Harmony Gold and Palladium is just more of the same misunderstanding some hot-heads who can't figure out how to glue/paint a miniature would make. -
I actually think there's plenty of room to weave Luthor into this story. Likely he's going to be more than just Superman's preeminent villain but more like the entire Justice League. They'll follow the trope Batman is smarter than Supe's just to give him some sort of fighting chance but likely Luthor will be smarter than Batman still just to make him THAT much more of a threat to the both of them combined. If Batman's intelligence makes him a match for Superman Luthors genius makes him a threat to a stable of Superheroes. Or something along those lines.

Just FYI, the only real "debacle" for the tabletop game is the fact Palladium has never met a deadline, ever. It's in production now and people will receive them soon. The "issue" with having to assemble the game pieces was really only due to a lot of fans not understanding that tabletop games require construction before play. Everything else... yeah, you're right. -
Yup, I would never put the 27 in Battroid. Don't forget it's not just the backstep with the shoulders. The crotch thrust/mechanism is still wrong. The Torso looks too long/squat at the same time. There's lots of things in Battroid that just don't come together correct, unfortunately. If you like it, that's cool. I've held off because I wasn't a huge fan and Battroid was really off-putting for me. If it's decreased in cost, I'd buy for Gerwalk because it looks positively wicked in that mode.
-
I'm going to inform them I will not pay for both early, then wait for both later.
-
I disagree, I feel like Battroid resembles the V.1 25's still. It simply isn't proportioned the same or as well This photo right here could convince me to buy one.
-
I'm confused, both my Alto and Michael pre-orders are on the same po. They want me to pay for Alto by the 19th. How much am I supposed to pay? Just for the Alto, or for the whole thing even though they won't split up the order.
-
Yeah, I agree. Like I said, this blows. I'm keeping the pre-orders simply because I don't believe this design is ever being revisited again.
-
That's what I'm saying. Yamato figured that crap out quick with the VF-4 and it works damn well. The couldn't hide a tab and a hole somewhere? I'm pretty pissed off they did pretty much what they did with the V.1 25, half-ass it.
-
Somebody called it quite awhile ago when they noticed the stabilizer in Battroid. We all discounted it and said it was for the stand, a lot of us were wrong. The only reason I'm keeping my pre-order is because I don't think this Valk will ever be made again, but it pisses me off that Bandai still sucks so bad.
-
Not happy about having to swap anything, personally. Actually, the more I watch this video the more it pisses me off. Bandai are half-assed, lazy hacks. Yamato figured out how to make the VF-4 all fit together snug. You're telling me Bandai can't make the Battroid mode for this thing fit together well without a giant back clamp? Bandai sucks.
-
Hmm, I might need one of these. That Gerwalk does look pretty mean.
-
There's plenty of other capitol ships I would buy, but I'll stick with the pile of blue corn chips instead of this one.
-
I still think it would make sense that partial reason for forming the Justice League would be to try to keep Superman in check, whatever that's worth.
-
You couldn't take any in Gerwalk/Fighter, could you? In my opinion this mold (the overall design, really) suffers in Battroid. I think it looks much stronger with that evil, Bird-of-Prey Gerwalk look and sleek Fighter mode.
-
If you can find a hook up could I piggy back on that?
-
Alto Tornado packs are due the end of this month. Michael Tornado packs are due end of August.
-
That's about the same price you'd pay for Alto's Super Packs now too...
-
We're probably nine to ten months away from release still, too. This is about where we were with the YF-19 at this point as well. Actually, this one looks like it holds together better already but given it's sharing a lot of engineering know-how from the VF-1 maybe that's not too surprising. I think the neck looks a tad too short. Maybe for transformation purposes they had to do that. Ever so slightly stubby looking. What's that in the computer background they have blurred out? Looks like another valk. Actually, two things are blurred out. The computer background, except for a small portion of the canopy/mid-section, and then a figure to the left of the monitor. They didn't blur out the figure to the right of the monitor though. Oh, nm, the one on the left is the 19P again. Doesn't explain what's on the monitor though. Oh, and now a Battroid pic from the knees down. Nice wide stance, I'd say.
-
I will say I wish I had bitten for the Alto Super Packs when they were first available. I never really cared for the look of the Supers, though I do own a pair for one of my A's and my G, but I do like the combined look of the Armor from the Supers crossed with the Tornado Packs. But I only found out about those later.
-
Right, I agree. Just wondering.
-
You're right, and it's kind of weird. They aren't even oriented the way you would think they should be.
-
Unless there's a spectacular eff up I highly doubt there will be a droopy neck this time. At the very least Arcadia have figure out how to fix that kind of mess by now.
-
I think it looks cool in all three modes. I knew Gerwalk would be useless though, as it's practically as useless on the 25 with the boosters on. I still think they've implemented the shoulder packs wrong. I wonder what Battroid would look like with the wings folded down instead of up (probably like a Gundam, really.) Actually, I'm not really sure why nobody has thought of this, but it would make sense to have those packs on a track that can slide out a bit from the wing root so the arms have more space. From a head-on perspective it would look goofy, but from any sort of dynamic pose you could probably get away with the packs adjusting themselves outward a bit just for play/poseability sake.
-
Really? Even though the SW-XA II clearly shares all basic features and the same transformation. Or is that some sort of technicality and it's really based off of the 3000 or 5000 (which are VF-1 derivatives themselves.)
