You've got it backwards. The Legioss is the expendable parasite fighter for the critical Tread combat vehicle! I've always liked the Tread more than the Legioss and already sold my Legioss to help fund this purchase. He will stand alone, he is no accessory, he is the main event.
-
Yes yes, but once you accept that the Mospeada universe works the way they show you (with flying brick tanks and everything else), the Tread has great guns on it's arms that already work great...holding a rotary gun that looks like it has a magazine capacity to support <1 second of firing, even I can't get what's going on, my mind can't help but go back to "but why?" It feels like Wolverine holding a knife. If it's just "looks cool, don't think about it any more than that," that's fine. Maybe adding a belt that would attach to the underside of the chest to imply a much larger capacity would be cool. Ooh, or perhaps a mod to delete the forearm gun barrels and have a belt that can attach to the arms, implying the space has been replaced with ammunition for the hand-held gun. Those would be more involved but would be pretty cool.
-
But...why would a Tread want/need a rotary gun with mere seconds (at best) of firing time when it's forearm weapons are plenty potent. I mean it looks cool but it doesn't make any sense to me.
-
Have you forgotten the Tread's moment of glory? https://youtu.be/FwkIohQUhr8?t=959 (apologies for the quality and the robotech-ness, it's the quickest link I could find)

Man, I wouldn't have thought it would be so easy to ruin one of my favorite mecha designs, but...there it is. The change in the wings completely change the feel of armo-bomber mode, and the oversized claws and mustachioed face just kill armo-soldier for me. I loved the more drastic redesign we saw years back, but this...no thanks. Looks like that bad robotech fan-fiction stuff from the late 1990s internet sites

MOSPEADA IKAZUCHI 1/2000 kit by MOSCATO HOBBY?
Phyrox replied to captain america's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Would this be a scale-up of sorts for the smaller Ikazuchi you did years ago or a total rethink and re-sizing? Also, and this probably isn't the place...but I'd kill for an Izumo that was in scale with that smaller Ikazuchi? Any possibility of one of those? Never been done has it? -
That Hambrabi is terrible. I guess I'm getting too old but the design looks overly busy but to no good effect. It's just a jumble of shapes that just don't gel into anything. I can't even tell which end is supposed to be the front. Not a huge fan of the original Hambrabi from Zeta, but this thing really makes me nostalgic for the designs of that era, where not everything looked like spikey mess.
-
Wait a sec...does this mean there was a Logwood gashapon made? Man, that's the one thing for Orguss I always really really wanted and thought had never been produced. I would love a model...but this would be cool too!
-
Wow, that re-styled battlepod is pretty blatant in its, eh...borrowing? Whether they wrote in-universe justifications or not, that's not a good look. Between that and the rather poor art* we've seen here that's going into the latest RPG...makes me nostalgic for what Palladium art was, warts and all. *- I know some people here have paid for commissioned art from this Kickstarter, and I'm happy that they're finally seeing the scenes in their head drawn out at long last. I don't mean to disparage that.

Don't read e-books of any type. Anyone got any insight or answers to the actual question?

Recently re-watched the original series, and I still enjoy it after all these years and who knows how many watches later...I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and reading the manga. But, uh...what's up with the availability? Anyone know where one could get the series for a reasonable price? For the "3-in-1" consolidated version, Vol. 1, 4, and 5 I can pick up for $20/each. Vol. 2 and 3 are no where to be found. I've seen complete sets for $300+ but that's insane. So... 1) what gives with the rarity of those volumes? 2) anyone know where to find the manga series?
-
Anyone have any insider info on what's up with the MEPTOYS invid scout and shocktrooper? It was due to ship in December, then I gather there was a problem with the pre-production proofs that had to be addressed...but I ain't heard nothing. No email, nothing on their website, nothing on Facebook... I emailed them last week asking for an update, but haven't gotten any response. I'm wondering if I should contact my c.c. company for a chargeback?
-
Those are going for $150+ now? Yikes. I want these trading kits because they are small, and I might be able to use it in a wargame. The Cosmo Fleet one is...too expensive. Why does Bandai hate Gundam spaceships so much?
-
Got a model-finding query for the experts here. Does anyone have any idea where one might find non-blind purchase options for the old (series 1) Gundam Mini Kit Collections? I'm really trying to get the Ra Cailum kit, but everything on Ebay was blind buy, and didn't see a thing on Y!Japan... I figure someone here might have a lead I hadn't thought about. This box: with this kit: Appreciate any help...I'm close to buying a set of 12 boxes in the hopes of getting one...and that's just stupid.

Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These. Coming April 2018.
Phyrox replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Maybe I'm crazy but the Brunhild is about my least favorite of all the Imperial warships from the original series. I might still get a model of it if available, but I'd rather have any other non-Alliance ship really.
