I’m sure they’ll show more pics and features of the Tread in the upcoming months. Just the fact that they’re showing colored prototype pics now and said they’ll be taking orders before the end of the year are good signs.

Gladiator III: Portugal Drift.
-
Sabine’s in stereo:
-
^^Pretty much. It’s also shows off that the design has fewer gaps and some of their improvements to the cockpit and connecting boom.
-
Surprised no one picked up on the bicep armor the Sentinels have but that the original show never had. Considering how snake-bit these Mospeada toylines have been, I’m just glad to have the main four’s Ride Armors up on display after all these years.
-
I know there’s some noticeable differences, but isn’t the Sentinel versions pretty damn close to the original designs? Biggest changes would be: * Getting rid of the HUD lines on the visor; * Removing the mudguard on the front wheels; * Adding cloth to cover each figure’s torso; * Changing the bike headlights on Stig and Rey’s rides; * Sanding off the grey bits on Yellow’s missile bay covers; and * Repainting Houquet from that horrid hot pink to cherry red. Am I missing anything else?

Hopefully, they’ll pack in a nice plethora of accessories for the beast too!
-
^^Technically, we don’t have Rey yet, so I’d be curious if they include his bike as well. Also there’s definitely a slight change around the “neck” area, when you compare pics between soldier mode and bomber mode. Crazy that they pulled it off and seem to have enough space for a same-sized pilot in the cockpit. And it’s interesting that the wings have hardpoints on both the top and bottom parts. Anything else we’re not picking up from the pics?
-
Yeah, that what we all seem to be seeing. A shorter boom is one of the benefits of Sentinel’s design of the Legioss. Because the Legioss’ feet/boosters collapse so compactly into the rest of the fighter body, you don’t need as a long of a boom to connect the two. Yes, there have been complaints about the Legioss stand-arm breaking. But it also gives you a sense of how long the connecting boom will be. . . which is surprisingly shorter than Toynami’s boom.
-
Pretty much. It’s clear where the Legioss is going to connect to the Tread (for the connecting boom at least). But wonder where the stand connection will be: on the Tread’s connecting boom or on the back of the Tread itself? Also, for “gits and shiggles,” I snapped a pic of the Toynami combo from a similar angle as the one done for Sentinel’s rendition: Had to wipe off the dust her to make her look a little more presentable. 😅
-
I’m quietly waiting for them to give us specs and measurements. Hopefully they have a stand planned to hold this combined bad-boy up.
-
Don’t allow your countesses to become lonely cat ladies :
-
^^Yup, was worried I was gonna be stuck with this avatar for a long while. 😅 Make no mistake: I’m still keeping the old Toynami combo’s. . . for nostalgia purposes and because the Toynami Beta is still the best of those initial renditions of the Tread/Beta. But it is exciting times indeed!
-
Check out the Google translation in @tekering’s post above. Mentions an Eta Legioss (the blue one) 2nd release/“resale.”
-
For the Tread, I still want to get a closer look at the fighter-bomber connection and make sure the two mesh well together when combined. But I’m also curious to see what the weapons layout will look like on the big burly bastard, including the built-in missile bays that others have done in their renditions.
-
I’m still hoping for three solid connecting points. But I think @jenius stated that Sentinel was NOT going to use those slots to connect the Tread.
-
When?! Gotta plan when to purchase the spray paints. Also, looking less gappy in bomber mode, compared to the Toynami Beta. Could we finally have a worthy successor to take the crown? Additionally, hard points on both the top and bottom of the wings? 🤨
-
Could have swore they had the prototype long before they partnered up with Aoshima.
-
^^Umm, the Beta Fighter.
-
The old murder-droid is not happy with the new version: 😅🤦🏻♂️
-
Light it up, future countess:
-
Dust and yellowing. The two banes of collectors everywhere! 😅
-
And knowing them, they’ll offer it in some oddball color that doesn’t match the old ones. Or no longer offer the LED strips I used to light up the old ones. . . . Also, am I the only idiot that would rather go straight to where all the boxes are and get what I need, rather than walk through that maddening, multi-level labyrinth they call a store?
-
And just because I’m not sure we’ve mentioned it all that often on these boards: RIP the Detolfs cabinets. A nice and effective way to display our “collectibles” with a few customizable options.
-
Umm. . . phrasing.
