    Ok, all ready to upload. This is all either stuff that I think you might find interesting, or stuff that I really wish they'd make toys of. Some of it is from other spots in this thread, some of it is from other sources. They're going to be in batches. Batch 1: Toys: 1 of 3

    You're not the first person to mention that, but, somehow, I've had no concern with mine with thin joints or anything of that nature. Plus, I've had such good experiences with Yamato's customer service (on my Megazone 23 Garlands), that I guess I kind of know there's always that as a fallback (I know, I know, better not to NEED a fallback in the first place...). I guess my definition of fun during transformation may be different than most. People complain about the Beagle MOSPEADA taking 45 minutes to an hour to transform. First of all, it usually takes me about 5-10, and second of all, I actuall think it's fun. Not so the CMs, which I get no enjoyment out of at all. If parts don't line up right, are EXTREMELY fidgety, or I'm constantly worried about breaking them, then I have no fun transforming it. My metallic Priss, which is admittedly the only Motoslave I own and may just be a lucky example, doesn't give me any of those concerns.

    Agree with some of what you say, though mine does seem to align better than it sounds like yours does (don't think there were any changes between the metallic, which I have, and the non-metallic other than coating, but I don't know for sure... maybe leads to some tighter fits). I'm not a fan of parts-formers either, but I have to tell you, I really like this one a lot. Compared to my other similar-sized ride-armors (I have three CMs MOSPEADA toys, same scale as this), I love this one. It holds poses, I transform it regularly, as opposed to just finding one pose that vaguely works and leaving it there, and, inspite of being a parts-former, this one is actually FUN to transform. I noticed when transforming it last night, when you're about 3/4 of the way through the transformation, while the read wheel is still down (before being folded back and locked into place), it looks A LOT like the Chromia from the new Transformers movie.

    What changes are you thinking of for, or issues are you seeing with, the Motoslave?
  8. RavenHawk
    novaflo, post a message here tomorrow (Friday) morning, and remind me. I'll post up a bunch of lineart and some other stuff during the day, just need to be reminded. I'm obsessed with motorcycle mecha, so I'm got a good bit of lineart saved on the computer.
  9. RavenHawk
    You looking for pictures of the different types of mechs, or of the toys?
  10. RavenHawk
    Ok, sorry, I forgot. Does she have the same elbow pads as Priss? It looks to me like she doesn't (from these pics) so my opinion is probably completely useless to you... EDIT: Ignore the BMPs. For some reason, Macrossworld tells you you deleted an attachment, but then keeps it there anyway. JPEGs attached now instead. EDIT SOME MORE: Nevermind, figured out what I was doing wrong. Ok, here are the pics.
  11. RavenHawk
    You're talking about Priss, and not the Motoslave, right?
  12. RavenHawk
    Jus watched episode 11, and have a BUNCH of spoilerish comments: I don't know if I've asked this before, but, looking at the characters from Unit Viper, is anyone else reminded of the stereotypical characters from a comic book team from the early '90s, like what you would see from Jim Lee or Rob Liefeld? The cool goodlooking guy with long hair who is a weapons expert, the quiet dark leader, the exageratedly large and muscled big guy with a large weapon or power (rocket launchers, in this case), and the overly busty blonde woman who is a deadly warrior?
  13. RavenHawk
    Maybe a season 2 of the anime in the fall? I'd be happy to find scanlated, or even translated ones to buy in hardcopy.
  14. RavenHawk
    I've only been able to find the first volume of the manga; don't even know how many volumes there are. If memory serves me right, it seems like the first volume of the manga basically covered only the first 2 episodes or so, plus a political protest .
  15. RavenHawk
    Hopefully it did better than one would assume, based on how few comments this thread has had. I also hope it did well enough to warrant some toys/models, to add to my display of Aramaki-designed motorcycle mecha. EDIT: BTW, I would love to see an Appleseed: Ex Machina quality CG version of this, just a little more focused than this series felt.
  16. RavenHawk
    As of last night, my display now consists of: - 1 metallic Priss and Motoslave - 1 black & white CMs Stick - 1 black & white CMs Ray - 1 black & white CMs Shinobou - 1 Mellowlink & bike - 1 Factory Color Garland - 2 Proto-Garlands All 1/18th scale (despite claims to the contrary on Yamato packaging). Now I just need somewhere to put my Beagle/Toynami Stick/Scott and Toynami Blue Alpha/Legioss & Beta/Tread and 2 Toynami Shadow/Dark Alphas/Legioss.

    I LOVE mecha-motrcycles... I appreciate, and a sometimes a huge victim of, nostalgia... ... but no. No, I can't like this... just can't... EDIT: On the other hand, the synopsis sounds brilliant: Synopsis: A bionic vigilante avenges the death of his scientist father by using his invention, a lethal transforming robot/motorcycle, to fight his murderers, the evil Sigma Organization led by the wheelchair-bound cyborg Dr. Akunomiya. (from IMDb.com) EDIT 2: Damn you, Morpheus!!! Now I'm curious to see just how bad it is... I've googled it, looked for bittorrents of it, looked on eBay... damn you!!! This is the really ugly thing, not the mecha itself, but what it does to your whole world.
  18. RavenHawk
    Ok, have mine in front of me right now, but I guess maybe I'm not clear on the problem that you're encountering. The elbow guard doesn't seem to be an issue on mine.
  19. RavenHawk
    Just watched episode 11. Wow, this series is wrapping up nicely. I'm bummed that there's only one episode left though. Minor Spoilers:
  20. RavenHawk
    Yeah, I know, but there have been plenty of shows that got cut short too (Southern Cross, Megazone 23 pre production, others I can't think of right now), that's why I was afraid that had happened. EDIT: I guess it just felt like it got off to a really slow start for something scheduled to be so short.
  21. RavenHawk
    I'll look at mine tonight. It's the metallic Priss, but that part should function the same.
  22. RavenHawk
    Along a different line: Blassreiter was 24 episodes, and we still haven't seen the Paladin toy that we saw a prototype of close to a year ago. With Viper's Creed only being 12 episodes, does that mean we'll never see toys from it? The show took a while to get going, but I really loved the mecha design and was hoping for toys or models. As for Rideback, I saw some prototypes for a toy and figures from it a while back (on here, I think), but those looked like they were based on the manga designs, and not the anime.
  23. RavenHawk
    That sucks. Viper's Creed was just starting to get interesting. Rideback is the only other new show I was watching, and is the best show I've seen in a long time. Hate to think it's over already. So are shows now just being written to be 12 episodes, as opposed to the older 24 to 36 episode formats?
  24. RavenHawk
    Is episode 12 the last episode of Viper's Creed? If so, must not have been popular, as that seems way below typical anime series lengths. I'm trying to get my info from: http://blog.livedoor.jp/viperscreed/ http://viperscreed.jp/ but the translation program I'm using doesn't make much sense. Seems to be a blog entry saying episode 12 is the last one, but then another one saying stay tuned, like maybe there is a sequel or spinoff? Can anyone help here? Thanks.
