No it was just modelled after the images from the preview and that might even change in the final production!? as of now official image.... and here the upper arm is completely different!

Hobby Japan Web posted more images of the ATM-09-ST (Melquiya) Forces as well as the accessories pack... Translation is from (Google) Introduction of the armament example of "HI-METAL R Scope Dog Armed Option Set"!! We deliver various display methods with "Scopedog" that is about to be released and "Melquiyan Military Equipment" that will be soon available! Strengthen the scope dog with the "HI-METAL R Scope Dog Armed Option Set"!! This time, I tried to install the accessories of the "Armament Option Set for Scope Dog" without daring to stick to the settings using the "Scope Dog Melquiyan Military Equipment" and "HI-METAL R Scopedog". Now, let's review each product. Currently, "HI-METAL R Scope Dog Melquiyan Military Equipment" and "HI-METAL R Scope Dog Armed Option Set" compatible with Scope Dog are being ordered as items for sale at the Soul Web Store. " The GAT-35 Long Gun is included as a new model, part for the "Scope Dog Melquiyan Military Equipment". Other ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Rucksack is also included. " The "Armament Option Set for Scopedogs" can be used as an armament part for various Scopedogs of the HI-METAL R series. Scope Dog Melquiya Army Equipment + Round Mover. The round mover is equipped with a movable mechanism, and you can hold the huge GAT-35 Long Gun with both arms while wearing ATP-BP1-ST Parachute Rucksack or ATC-BR1-S Round Mover. 3 items of weapon are on display. The CHIRICO CUVIE figure attached to the HI-METAL R scope dog (left) also comes with a head wearing a helmet. " In addition to weapons, the series logo that can be attached to the pedestal is included in the armed option set for Scopedogs" (center). On the right is "Melquiya Army Equipment", with an action figure of Melquiya Army soldiers who can be placed inside. ATM-09-ST Scopedog + ATC-BR1-S Round Mover + SWAT-38, 9 Tube Shoulder Missile Gunpod. The shoulder missile Gunpod is completely new and the side grip is removable, so it can be held with either left or right Hand. The SWAT-38, 9 Tube Shoulder Missile Gunpod can also be hung on the shoulder. Scopedog Melquiya Military Equipment + ATC-BR1-S Round Mover + GAT-49min, 50mm Pentatrooper. Scopedog Melquiya Military Equipment + ATC-BR1-S Round Mover + SAT-03 Solid Shooter Bazooka. The barrel of the Solid Shooter can be extended. Scopedog Melquiya Military Equipmen + ATC-BR1-S Round Mover + SAT-03 Solid Shooter Bazooka + GAT-49min, 50mm Pentatrooper. The weapon can be attached to both left and right arms, so you can enjoy a two-shot pistol-like display here! *Some notes: The GAT-35 Long Gun is still a prototype and I read somewhere that the barrel cover will be reshaped and on a hinge so it can be opened or closed. I Honestly think the Gat-22/C Rifle should have been included with the Melquiya unit since it was shown using it in the pilot episode!

I'm sure it's not an official image but one that was taken and done up from the short preview that was posted! We won't have the final design until the OVA is released!? But it looks good so-far, Just also hope that the final version gets a quick release in the Hi-Metal R line! 🤗
-
Since I display my units with the fast-packs attached I really didn't notice it! I'm just glad I didn't get it from LunaPark broken! The only thing that bothered me was that they did the detailing for the Mech-Guts edition but didn't detail it! 😢
-
Best Character video I have ever seen on the V.O.T.O.M.S series! 👍🏻
-
More Mech!
-
Just hope they also gave the Berserga WP the same kind of cockpit treatment they gave the B-ATM-03 FATTY! 🤗 which was a nice surprise!
-
That's honestly a pretty mean comment since a lot of collectors buy double or triple of a release just to have backups! If we would have been able to have the fore site of the Hi-Metal 1/55 releases back in 83-85 lots of people would have bought more then one! but collecting wasn't a big deal back then! But you learn from your mistake and adjust!
-
I did mention the first prototype release back in November, actually a day before they showed us the next upcoming releases! I guess they were setting up the display while I was writing about the 5th anniversary of introducing us the the Hi-Metal R V.O.T.O.M.S. line 🤣 But ja, the Beserga WP was finally intruduced as an upcoming release... and I'm sure it will be another great release! 🤗 And was really hoping for the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog, with the ATM-09-ST MELQUIYAN close behind!
-
This would be the most logical! But the Berserga WP looked like it was further along! after all they have been working on it for almost 6 years! 🤣 But a ATM-09-WR Marshydog could also be next to start of the Kummen arc. They do sometimes like to surprise us in-between releases like they did with the ATM-09-ST (Space Assault) version which was never shown with the Turbo Custom and Bloodsucker although it was released between them! But I'm sure we will know by the end of next month! 🤗

I was thinking that maybe since they a reissuing the GBP Roy in April the wanted to take the opportunity to make more Roy's VF-1S to recoup some of the money having to refurbish the moulds, this way both can be produced back too back.... Just hope afterward the do something new and show some effort again!
-
One thing that's clear about this release is at least the line isn't dead yet! And I have a strong feeling the DX series will finally get this, this year! Or I certainly hope so! 🤗 But if they don't have someone to give the Macross series their full effort internally they should outsource a company to put the DX & Hi-Metal R series back on track! or a consultant that can bring these series back on track!

Well since this is a dedicated collectors forum, I can understand the points of views that are posted here! After all this series has been going on for over 6 years and since the release of the DX VT-1 Super Ostrich almost everything has been a product which was previous released in one form or another! either a recolour or a complete re-release! Collectors want what's missing! especially since some of the units where presented as prototypes long time ago! I have the feeling that who ever was in charge of the series at the beginning would have brought this series further, but for some reason He was replaced by a mid or low level production manager who either has no knowledge of the series or what to release next and is just releasing thing that take no effort to reproduce! If I think how Bandai is handling their Hi-Metal R, Armoured Trooper V.O.T.O.M's line, here there is a person in charge from another company that is obviously a fan of the anime. And the releases have been top notch for the last two years! and they have already shown us the next three releases! It's who is in charge and how they handle things that make a series a hit or miss! And this series has been placed on the back burner a year and a half ago! Sadly! 😢

The Hi-Metal R Scopedog will release February 21, 2026..... A week after we should know what the next release is!? 🤗
-
This! ⬆️ WHY? 😭 Although I wouldn't mind if they Regurgitated the missiles once in a while! 😉 Next up... Regurgitated fast packs 🤣 So the arrow on the head changes colour to what ever mode your in? 🤔 I'm in! 🤪

Hobby Japan Web has a nice overview of the new 1:24 Wave STTC! I received the Wave RSC kit last week and must say it's quite nice! The detailing is very com-parable to the Hi-Meta R figures in detail! Some features are more detailed on the Wave kit while others are a little nicer on the HMR versions, of course Bandai still has the upper hand since everything is tamp-printed and have metal joints and feat for posing.... 😉

@jenius has graced us with a review of the 1:48 Yamato GBP, I still haven't found the 1:48 Yamato thread so I'll post it here! Next up we will probably, FINALY! get a review of Bandai's DX GBP...🤗 -
Cool! Someone else who is all in! By the way Nin-Nin games has a really good price on the RSC for ¥16,940 which is a steal, at that price! I can confirm that they are brand new sealed boxes! I bought three from them. Funny that you like the STTC the most because it's actually my least favourite unit! Although it looks great as a squad! The RSC is still my favourite with Bloodsucker and Fanya's Space Assault unit close behind then FATTY. although I like all of them and wouldn't want to do without any of the releases so far. and looking forward to the Brutishdog the most from the upcoming releases! Great that after 40 years we finally get a first class series! 🤗 Well happy collecting 🤪

One of the new mech's from Die Graue Hexe....

Diffrent devisions, différent stratégie. The HG line for the prise, probably sells ten times more then the Hi-Metal R Line, Besides it has to have more detailing then the 1/35 model kits. If they actually cooperate is another question? I think they killed their 1/20 model line since it might interfere with the HMR line in sales! I think they wanted to release complete units in the HMR Line at the beginning to show that that they can give the collector the complete experience, and not have to chase down expansion packs, which they are known for not rereleasing. I just wish they didn't include the base with the first expansion pack since this seems to be the most expensive part of that set! other weapons or side armaments would have been more preferable. I don't really like the bases that Bandai releases, the seem to be an afterthought! @Graham Have you picked up all of the 5 HMR V.O.T.O.M.S so far?
-
No just saw it on X (Twitter) but without comments, If I see more I'll post it! But one way or other I'm sure we will be seeing this officially from Bandai someday...

I kind of liked the first episode.... interested, where they will go with this? -
Third party add ons.... For HMR's?

What's up with the non-painted joints on the ATM-09-ST Scopedog releasing in February when the Melquiyan version goes back to the old way? If the wanted that unit to be different then the RSC release they should have just given it a different unit #. I thought the new joints where an update to make it better but then they go back to the way they where previously coated!? Sort of don't get it??? 🤔

"Armament optional parts for HI-METAL R scope dog" that is can be ordered at the same time as HI-METAL R scope dog (MELQUIYAN FORCES) unit. This set comes with plenty of optional parts to strengthen the separately sold "METAL R Scope Dog". SWAT-38, 9 Tube Shoulder Missile Gunpod, GAT-49min, 50mm Pentatrooper (are new shape so far), SAT-03 Solid Shooter Bazooka and ATC-BR1-S Round Mover, and their lineups are abundant. " A special pedestal with a large title logo of "Armored Trooper V.O.T.O.M.S." is also included.
