    Maybe she's shorter or the gap between the heel and the feet is just higher up? Even if it's correct for an actual bike, my only concern with the changed footrest design is that it'll be more prone to collapsing back when trying to pose Houquet on it. EDIT: Regarding the Zeta, I've always loved the solid color look of its fighter mode. Definitely makes her stand out from her other Legioss compatriots.

    Yep, looks like they tapered the legs more and made the feet less bulky. Looks like they're also going with a different style for the boosters in the wheels too. Getting closer to completing the team! Wonder if Houquet's bike or Legioss is gonna be released first, and if we'll see either released before 2021? (Half-joking, half-serious)

    Windshield looks like it still has the front tab. So, it should be able to tab back into place. Didn’t need to use superglue to keep it in place. But could be probably done as an extra step. Regardless, just be careful not to push the windshield too far down when changing to armor mode. It looks like you can push it in more, but then it starts to “lift” the windshield off of its place, making it more likely to pop off.

    As a dad, I’m about ready to go off on these last few comments. Understand, you got a family that lost both parents and a younger sister. You also have a husband who now has to explain to his three elementary age kids that his wife/their mom is dead. You have yet another family that has to bury a mom and her daughter. And that’s not even mentioning the Bryant family’s losses. You don’t like Kobe, fine. But realize others died in this accident as well. As a dad, it’s my hope that I never have to bury any of my kids. I hope we all haven’t become so callous that you can’t empathize with those that now have to bury a child. That’s bad enough. But three of these families are going to have to bury MULTIPLE family members. Let that sh*t sink in for minute, and imagine how you’d deal with that.

    Assassins and Protocols R2 leads the mission. K-2SO is the pilot and the muscle. Chop’s the hacker and utility player/jack-of-all-trades. And HK poses as the protocol droid, who also “dabbles” in killing meatbags quite efficiently. If we need a straight-man, we can toss in AP-5 for his snarky reactions to everything the other 4 are doing/saying. Threepio stays behind, because one of the other droids would probably shoot him or space him out the nearest airlock.

    The Rebel spy dude from Rogue One. Personally, I’d prefer a series that brings K-2SO, Chopper, R2, and HK-47 together for a Dirty Dozen type mission. The Stormtrooper body count and sarcasm would be immeasurable.

    ^^So, one of Chewie and Obi’s odd jobs can be getting clone tech unwittingly for Mob Boss Maul . . . and causing some “small” problems. See! This junk writes itself! On another topic, poor Cassian: he’s such a good spy that no one gives a crap about him (or his show) and he goes completely unnoticed.

    After a wild week of revelry on Endor, CHEWBACCA seeks the help of JEDI MASTER OBI-WAN KENOBI. Watch as these two experience hijinx, hilarity, and adventure, as they try to scrounge up enough credits for Chewie’s Ewokian child support!

    Yeah, the Alphas are Russian-roulette to find a good one. And even when you find a good one, there’s that fear that they’ll fail after a few transformations.

    I’m still a fan of the Ron Moore BSG backstory. They just developed a lot of good stories out of the “Humans built the Cylons” idea. But I still tip my cap to the old series for coming up with awesome designs. It has some flaws, but the Toynami Beta is pretty freakin’ awesome. Ratchet-joints in key spots and a nice heft to it. There are some gaps here and there, but the bomber mode still looks good, and the fighter combo with the Alpha is hard to beat (assuming you luck out and get a good looking Alpha). Not sure what they’re going for now, but I never regretted getting the Beta.

    Toy Rant Time: I’d love to have more toys and vehicles from The Mandalorian and later seasons Rebels. Heck, who wouldn’t want to zoom around the Ghost or the Razor’s Crest? But the problem is that vehicles are now cost-prohibitive with everyone moving to 6-inch scale figures. Even if they were to go back to 3.75-inch scale, lots of these big-ticket vehicles are still a bit of a hard sell. If they make ‘em too small, we’ll gripe that they’re too out of scale (even for 3.75” figures). I get that manufacturers moved to the larger scale, because it was getting too expensive to make super-articulated figures at the smaller scale and sell them around $10. But even at these larger scales, the figures are still a crapshoot to get the face-sculpts right, and accessories are kinda hit and miss. The other sucky thing is that the larger scale kinda discourages folks from army building. But yeah: they’re aren’t too many memorable vehicles or designs from the sequel trilogy.

    It’s clearly a Micronian fertility statue, used to increase its possessor’s potency to Itano Circus-like levels.
  14. Mog
    Or The Mandalorian.

    I actually had to look it up and saw that Galaxy Quest was released AFTER First Contact. Always thought it was the other way around.

    I understand it’s not final, but I’ve seen a case where design flaws were never corrected or addressed from prototype all the way to final production version (CM’s Legioss-Tread combo). I’ve been passionately complaining about certain issues, because I know Bandai could easily fix it. And it would make the final product that much better, especially if the idea is to place an emphasis on battroid mode. As one of the few idiots that disassembled a Yamato YF-21 to customize it, I’m curious to see how Bandai’s version differs and what changes they’ll do to pull off/improve the transformation. But if a change doesn’t make sense or makes me think, “Why’d they make that choice?”, I feel I gotta call it out.
  17. Mog
    Nope, I’m “ride or die” for the 3.75” Joes. Love that most of the recent ones can still fit in the old vehicles. Besides I don’t need another 3,000 versions of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, CC, and Destro. But now in 6” scale! And Bandai’s -21 battroid won’t win my approval until those damn bellyplates get elongated and given the correct shape.

    1). It would be nice if we got an actual sequel anime series set in the original E7 universe. Doesn’t have to be the same characters or “child of” characters. But something akin to how Macross + and Frontier are all set in the same continuity as SDF Macross. 2). Even if we accept that the Renton and Eureka of AO are not “our” Renton and Eureka, my arguments against Ao still stand. The new characters (and their traits and allegiances) got changed around solely because of plot. Storylines got dropped. One character gets ignored for almost half the time, then suddenly becomes the “bad guy” for no clear reason. I’ve heard stories of the original writer leaving during Ao’s production. And it shows in how the series unfolds. Just got seriously and thoroughly disappointed and frustrated with how the Ao series turned out.

    Sorry, but no other toy is topping the Yammy's perfect transformation, skinny bitch side profile for fighter mode. As previously posted by @Reïvaj . . .
  20. Mog
    Well, the -21 inherited its high leg placement from its mommy, the Q-Rau. I doubt it was done to stabilize the Gerwalk mode. Really getting the impression that Gerwalk was an afterthought with Bandai.
  21. Mog
    The back third of the bellyplates gets somehow folded into battroid backpack assembly. There’s pics where we can see it peeking out in battroid mode. I’ve been “bellyaching” about that design choice for months, as it’s an inelegant choice that adds unnecessary kibble to the Gerwalk mode. If those parts flipped over and snapped into the backpack to reveal ventral thrusters for Gerwalk, I might be okay with the choice. But the proportions for which bellyplate section becomes hip guards and which goes with the backpack are way off.
  22. Mog
    Ao started promising enough. But then the story went to hell, characters changed allegiances randomly, plot mysteries were cast aside or turned out to be nothing. And worst of all, they totally screwed up Renton’s character and made no mention AT ALL about Renton and Eureka’s adopted kiddos. Yep, it was definitely that bad.
  23. Mog
    That whole back third of the fighter mode and bellyplates seems to be where most of the design choices don’t make much logical sense, right now. I’m guessing the extra space is most likely for the legs and feet (probably since the feet point away from each other?). But without seeing Gerwalk mode, I can’t say whether or not this design choice is an improvement or not. Just very different.
  24. Mog
    I just hope they got the original Eureka Seven writers for this, because “Eureka Seven: Ao” was an utter, horrible clusterfrak.
  25. Mog
    Don’t get me wrong: the Bandai arms could be made a little beefier/thicc-er. But the question becomes: how bigger can you make them without impacting the look of fighter mode? Oh those fun design compromises!
