Well, I disagree, but clearly we just have different tastes. For me, I like it and it's different from the other designs. I like it for being on ONE Garland. Now, if they were doing that on all of them, then yeah, I'd agree with you. I don't think I'm familiar with what you mean. Vanity City designs?

I don't see why you think so. I actually like the robot mode, and like how it's different from the other stuff on there. If anything, I don't like the cruiser riding position of the bike mode.

... and there goes THAT surprise...

The bike or the robot mode? I see it has the same arm transformation as the BGC pic I posted up above.

Yeah, there's a definite similarity to that, and a lot of other sport tourers.

The Cross Line one looks like it would be at home in TF: ROTF (or Rideback).

WOW!!! Thank you SO MUCH for posting all of that, and going to all of that work. LOVE IT! My favorites are: - The sketches for alternate covers for the Animation Bikes book. The book itself has some alternate covers in it, but not those. - The Hargun toy prototype - CROSS LINE GARLAND - GARLAND 1+1 - SPORTS GARLAND - MANEUVER SLAVE A-TYPE Does anyone have any additional information about that new Megazone 23? This is the first I've heard of/seen it.

I'd love to see that too.

I just went online to order the Maneuver-Blade from HLJ. Finally convinced myself to spend the $500, and it said you would get 5% off if you preordered it before tomorrow... and it's sold out. Order stop. I am so f-en mad right now.

Thanks

What can you tell us about the book that comes with the limited edition of the PS3 game? I've considered getting the game just for the book, but can't find any info on size, page count, or content. Thanks. EDIT: I'm also curious about the "Maneuver Book"

I can't find a pic, but it's clear how it transforms, so here is a poor poor photoshop job of how the underside would look, minus the nosecone flipping up to cover the head.

Of Jetfire or Snoop?

Pics of what I mentioned above: EDIT: Adding this as an edit, so I don't fill up this thread with my replies. Since you have Robotech: Art 3 shown because of the Megazone references, you may want to include the Anime Bikes book that has a couple pages of Megazone in it. You can see the cover in my avatar (has a new version of the Garland drawn by Shinji Aramaki next to a new version of the MOSPEADA).

I have two completely different US releases of Megazone 23 on DVD. One is part of that collection, the other came out a good few years before that and was just a single standalone disc. I also have a couple Megazone books that I picked up off of eBay. I'll see if you have those on your site already. BTW, how is that GBA game? Worth getting, just for the Garland appearance? Also, have you looked at this site? Some cool info. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/megazone23/megazone23.htm EDIT: Just looked at your site. You do have the two DVD editions and all the books that I have on there already. Here's something you may not be aware of. The Bubblegum Crisis RPG, among a lot of unused ARTMIC designs there, had a Highway Star with a transformation HIGHLY similar to the Garland.

The only kibble is "her" chest.

I know we probably have a lot of GoBots haters here, but the GoBots SR-71 (Snoop) wasn't too terrible. Boring robot mode, a little thick in plane mode, but no kibble.

There was no Megazone 23 footage used in MOSPEADA or in Robotech: New Gen.

Thanks

No, it did not use any MOSPEADA footage. It was Megazone 23 footage, and new footage commisioned by HG.

I rewatched it last night, and that scene is not there in MOSPEADA. Though HG did have a new ending made for Megazone 23 when they made Robotech: The Movie: The Untold Story: Additional Subtitles Here, I really doubt they paid to have a new, more violent scene of Corg's death made.

My 14 year old son. Poor kid had no choice but to grow up watching all my cartoons/anime with me.

Are you friggin' kidding me??? When I'd finally resolved to stop buying CMs stuff, and just stick to the three black and white CMs ride armors I have, now this comes out! Man, now I'm going to have to go and get these too... Well, at least they're 1/18th by the look of it, so they'll match... Do they at least all come in one package together, so I don't have to hunt them each down separately on eBay? By the way, thanks for finally adding some new news to this thread. It's been dry for a while now. EDIT: Looked at your link. An Eve figure? Nice! http://www.flickr.com/photos/otaku2/355310...57618610357554/

I have to say, this never bothered me. As an adult, I really didn't think twice about it. Look at the real world, with how different different military forces' dress uniforms are, and then compare them from different countries. Seems fine with three militaries in RT, one essentially being North American, one being South American, and one being returning colonial forces who have changed and developed over a couple decades away. As a kid, I thought it was cool finally seeing the different looks and generations appearing together. I also liked the frosted side (sorry, bad joke).

Anyone know what genga are? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=400051241199
