MSW Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 this new GF transformer is lookin gooood... gonna hafta pick that one up! anyway...a while ago I cooked this up, trying to design a transformable sportbike type thing (pic is basied on the CBR-600RR...modified a bit) main goal was for it to transform smoothly while being ridden around in a realistic manner (the rider can't come off the seat, no jumping into the air, no splitting wheels in half, etc..) basicly each leg has a wheel on it allowing it to roll around in bot mode sorta like on rollarblades...to transform one leg comes forward, the other back as it sorta does the splits with the arms hugging around the front faceing leg...the seat and foot pegs rotates up slightly, and the grips swing up attached to the bot shoulder mechanisam (the grips then in someway control the arms, with the pegs controling the legs).....the girl is from some website (socalmodels.com IIRC) as I was trying to find a bike profile image with a human in it for scale (sorta works I suppose as she was standing infront of a vertical rack of yellow CBR-600RRs)...

M'Kyuun Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Hi everyone. I've been following these forums for years, but i felt content to just kick back and enjoy the banter...until today. I also dig transformable bikes(the more realistic, the better), but still like the stuff in general. Keeping within the topic, I found something interesting while perusing the Microman section of the Takara-USA website. It's more along the lines of ride-armor than transformable, but apropos nonetheless. As an aside, I bought a Microman Batman, which is a similar figure in the line. This thing is only approx 4" tall, but features something like 30 points of articulation and some decent detailing. GI-Joes everywhere are hiding their little plastic heads in shame. Anyway, take a look if it sounds interesting. http://www.takara-usa.com/microman/inf_mf_01.html Quote

It's better to burn out, than fade away!" Oh and I too am getting all sweaty in anticipation for the Garland. Either, both, it don't matter which, I just want one finally. Even though in my experience Max Factory has MUCH better QC. Edited January 14, 2006 by Doctor Paragon Quote

I'm very interested to see how well they can pull it off. Quote

I too hope they get it right. Quote

Limbo Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 The latest incarnation of Arcee was pretty decent. Now if they only would make a Binaltech version of it... dreams.. Quote
RavenHawk Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 The latest incarnation of Arcee was pretty decent. Now if they only would make a Binaltech version of it... dreams.. Not to be reviving a dead thread, but I only just came by it now. I am an avid fan of variable bikes. Have you all seen the new Arcee, from the movie? Quote
Chindenathus Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I've Japanese version on preorder. It is verr niiice! http://www.toy-wholesaler.jp/cgi-bin/goods2-e.cgi?id=TF-200 Quote

Vermillion21 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Black Arcee, yep I'm getting one ... Quote
Chindenathus Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Two new pics of the black repaint of Arcee were posted at S3ibertr0n: Quote
RavenHawk Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Two new pics of the black repaint of Arcee were posted at S3ibertr0n: Apparently they're from the Japanese Amazon site. Anyone know a good, safe, reasonable site to order them for the US? Thanks. Quote
Tober Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 What's wrong with Amazon.jp? HLJ.com are fine as well but arn't accepting new orders untill March. Fantofan.jp might also still be taking orders - you need to email him to find out tho. Quote
RavenHawk Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 About a year or so ago, there was a Japanese artbook released which focused on anime motorbikes (variable and otherwise). I didn't buy it and can't find it now. Sort of regret not buying it now. Anyboy have it? Graham Yep, I just got it... which is why I'm resurrecting a 4 year old thread... Sorry Quote
