    High and Dry (a personal fave of mine). And Karma Police (because of the video). That’s all I got.

    I wonder if they’ll have a file card for PD Destro? PRIMARY MILITARY FUNCTION: Arms Dealer SECONDARY MILITARY FUNCTION: Escort Services Coordinator

    So, Gung Ho’s card art shows him wearing a shirt, but figure has no shirt? And they should just change it to “Oldest Profession Director” Destro! Cobra better have my money!!

    I mentioned this in a previous post. In @tekering’s pics, we saw that the space between the Legioss’ arms is thinner than what the Toynami Alpha had. This means that either 1). The Tread cockpit will be smaller than the Toynami, or 2). Sentinel will design a transformation process that will allow for a not-so-wide chest for Armo-Soldier mode but an appropriately sized bomber cockpit. My guess would be some sort of rotating assembly for the chest and cockpit pieces. But any design is really dependent on whether those notches on top of the Legioss’ arms are where a Tread is supposed to lock into place.

    Thanks for the pics and comments. So, based on what I’m seeing here, it looks like Sentinel’s Tread will be “thinner”/skinnier between the two white circles in the chest. That will probably allow the gaps between the legs and center fuselage to be smaller in bomber mode and allow there to be less of a gap between the center yellow array and the leg boosters in bomber mode. However, I wonder how that’s gonna impact the Tread’s cockpit size. I’m speculating that cockpit will rotate so that a proper Armo-Soldier chest can be displayed. But the Legioss’ arms look like they’ll go in pretty deep into the Tread. As far as selling off the MPC’s, I sold my greenie and Shadow years ago. But I’ll probably still hold on to the two blues I got (and the red I got I fighter mode). Believe me, I know how sucky the Alphas are. But I waited way too many years for the Betas, and you can’t have the Betas without sporting the Alphas with ‘em.

    Not a fan of his Batman films. At all. But he had a pretty interesting list of films in his resume. Phone Booth is an “under the radar” favorite of mine.

    Maybe after 50 shots of whiskey (give or take), Roy wouldn’t. Roy outwardly gave a devil-may-care attitude, but his real side was shown to Claudia. As for me, probably Exsedol. Smart bastard, can give good insight when higher ups actually listen to him. Not one you’d expect to grab a gun and hold the line, but one who could tell you where to put the guns strategically to win the battle.

    I take it COVID-19 has delayed the filming of Season 3?

    Any updates or additional mods done?

    I’d still like to see a dead-on, straight on, flat shot of the A stance. All the pics shown so far are all at an angle. Not a deal-breaker by any means. . . I’m still in for a red, once it goes up for preorder.

    It really shows how compact they got the exhaust thrusters/feet for fighter mode. Same thing for Armo-Soldier mode with the nose cone not coming down so low. The only other thing I’d like confirmed is if the hips can tilt into an honest to goodness A stance. If it can pull that off and assuming all the joints are solid, we may finally have a worthy successor.

    So, I finished up all the Gallery episodes. Kinda fun seeing Favreau and Filoni absolutely nerding out. Definitely enjoyed the camaraderie and discussions between all the directors. And I’m amazed at how they’re using “The Volume” to film stuff now. It’s a nice peek into how they’re utilizing the technology and techniques to improve the filmmaking. Pretty sure it helps the actors too, seeing that they don’t have to act off of a green-screen. Lastly, Favreau and Filoni just “get it” about Star Wars. Even with the music, they know how to respect what came before, without becoming a rehash. But they find a way to be their own thing which enriches and expands the Star Wars universe. Really good “behind the scenes” /“making of” series!

    Thanks for the comparison pics! So, roughly the same size as Sentinel's Stick and Rey, meaning either the same height or slightly taller than the MPC Alpha. If this old pic of mine is anything to go off of, any potential Tread is gonna be another big boy! . Worth it!!

    Calm down, folks: There’s some shoulder rotation with that right shoulder. And the chest is still in place. The question is still how strong that joint is. Can the shoulder joint hold the arm parallel to the ground while holding the gun? That will be the proving pose.

    I’m so use to the Toynami set-up and the anime lineart that I keep thinking, “That’s not where the connection point is supposed to be!” But yeah, it definitely looks like the connecting boom. It’s like rain . . . on your wedding day. Or a free ride . . . when you’ve already paid. . . . Seriously though, still sucks regarding your situation. Would be nice if 2020 ends with Houquet’s Ride Armor being released, despite a recession being in place.

    I’m even liking the Half-Armo Diver mode they’re showing off. But just to balance out the love, [sarcasm] Why isn’t the Tread on the box art??11!!!! Oh noes! Sentinel is crushing all our hopes and dreamz! [/sarcasm]
  19. Mog
    Looks promising. Thanks for the links and pics!

    Seriously, the graphics design team must be enjoying themselves: For an episode entitled: Alien Commies from the Future! : They even had the standard red Marvel beginning tag fade to grey start the episode proper!

    If you’re into film noir, internal monologues, and a hard nose detective story filmed in black and white, then this week’s episode would have hit all those buttons. Been a fun season so far. And at the very least, they’re killing it with the period-specific title cards!

    The problem with a 6” line, especially with Hasbro, is that they’ll never make any vehicles for them. That and their size and price makes it less feasible to display an army or troop build.
  24. Mog
    Maybe Armo-Soldier mode? I’m just curious if the box art will tease a Tread in the background.

    I liked them well enough. Near the end of the line, the figures were loaded for bear in terms of accessories and weapons (Steel Brigade and Resolute/City Strike Snake Eyes, for example). The female figures were an improvement over the 80’s O-Ring versions. I liked that you could change the look of certain figures like keeping the goggles up or down for both Snow Job and Low Light. And once you learned how to pop open the torsos, it was relatively easy to pull off a bunch of customs. Even when the official releases were less than adequate, there were ways to make better versions (Grunt and Wet Suit come to mind).
