eriku Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 we still haven't seen an armour on for the CM's right? Something that was worrying me a bit too was that on the old gakken, the swingbars were all metal, and fairly chunky, yet all the new ones are seemingly not metal, nor very strong looking. I guess maybe the reduced size means plastic is ok to use, but for the weight they will surely have on the them, Im wondering how had it will be to cold caste some metal bits lol. (im not being negative, really! hehe) No pics have been seen of the combined armor form for the CMs yet. I'm sure they'll come along very soon though. As for the swing bar, I would place my bets on the CMs version being metal. It sure looks like it in this photo. Another plus for CMs!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Megahouse without a doubt, Do we really want to risk Toynami QC??? Besides it doesn't even look as good as the MH.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Nothing is perfect transformation, there is anime magic everywhere. SEriously not a problem removing stuff here and there. IF it was a Valk it would be a different stroy but i'm meh on needing the MH to be better than it is already, and it's awesome now.

EXO Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 kinda like the 1/18s too. It'll good with Micromen figures.
VF5SS Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I think you're confusing anime magic with the inherent difficulties of creating an armored figure. See any Saint Cloth Myth figure.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Yeah, i guess i did rav on a little. I was hungry and my food was cooking at the time. lol
CoryHolmes Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I've bad news on the Megahouse ride armor: I was looking at the armor mode pic and specially liked how the shoulder seats so high up, unlike Toynami's. Then I started to wonder how the shoulder pice got in that position and I got scared of the answer: the shoulder piece should be swappable i.e. even farther to perfect transformation. I thought that to make this possible Megahouse would've to have made a small hole or slot on each shoulder pad of the pilot. So I went to my Ridearmor Toys folder in search for pics and to my horror I found this: If you look at the battloid mode picture on page 1, you can clearly see a gap between the hand-guard/shoulder area and the main body. Definitly is detachable.
warpaint22 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Has to be the MH version at this point as I've also preordered them ( going to be expensive Jan/Feb this year) but I do like what may become of the CM version as I do like small detailed items. But I must say I'm not to fussed on the MH in ride mode as it really does look small and the necks on the riders look a little odd but I'll display them in armor mode and they excel in looks over the Toynami version. I have to date never bought any toynami product and I don't plan to start now.
malakite Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Hmm lucky the swappable parts ain't that a big deal for me, I've pre-ordered mine, set of 2 for $140(Singapore dollars) So that's abt USD$96. nit too bad a deal yeah?
Vermillion21 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I've preordered both Megahouse cyclones as well ... can't wait!! And I might consider picking up a Crapnami version, but I'll wait to see some reviews first .... knowing how they have friggin bad QC ....
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Hehehe, CMs' has an ass crack... er... slot where the rider attaches to the bike. I don't mind the rider attaching securely to the bike, I can't wait for more pics of this. But yeah, I'm sold on the Megahouse ones too. They're so appealing visually, I want the whole gang.
malakite Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Currently, for MegaHouse, only these 2 are announced right? Will they be making the rest as well?
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) That's a good question: Do we know for certain that MH plans on releasing the other two bikes? Hell, I'd even buy Long with the Jeep if they make one! Edited November 16, 2007 by Lonely Soldier Boy
Vermillion21 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I would guess they would make the other 2 cyclones based on sales of the first 2 releases???
malakite Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 That's a good question: Do we know for certain that MH plans on releasing the other two bikes? Hell, I'd even buy Long with the Jeep if they make one! I was just wondering about that... where's the JEEP??!! lol

I do like CM's stuff like its GaoGaiGar stuff, so if its a good price, it could be good hand candy
bigkid24 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 kinda like the 1/18s too. It'll good with Micromen figures. That's just what I was thinking.

Hell, I'd even buy Long with the Jeep if they make one! that would so rule!!! And they could include Marlene/Aerial and Mint if they are obsessed with not including her with Rey. And a whole crate of configurable "Gallants" for all the gang (5 or 6) and a Sal-9. Edited November 16, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) What i really want is.... http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=25 Yes! Go to RT.com! Blind your eyes in all it's rip-off glory! No seriously i want this to be made, if only they could make it ... in 1/15 scale... sauciness.................. Or even make it in scale with the CM Ride Armour... cool! Would love to re-create Rey in the Tread and him going up against the Commander uhh whatever his name is in the jap series... My fav part of the whole series is up till there. Edited November 16, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
jenius Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 If memory serves, Corg = Batra and Sera = Sorji.
eriku Posted November 16, 2007 Author Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) K, I was digging around the internets and found this picture, which I actually recall seeing a while back. Anyone know which Ride Armor is down in the corner? I think it looks like the MegaHouse but I'm not certain. Def. Not the CM's one... Edited November 16, 2007 by eriku

EXO Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 This is now the Mospeada Ride Armor/Cyclone superthread.
protostar8 Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Currently, for MegaHouse, only these 2 are announced right? Will they be making the rest as well? I'm pretty sure they are. See the picture's background... Edit: I just happened to notice that CM's has holes in the sides of the boots on the outsides, which makes me think that the hip plates connect there just like the show/concept to support the weight. There's are turning out pretty nice as long as the cost is kept down. Edited November 17, 2007 by protostar8
Vermillion21 Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 That pic shows Annie/Mint on Rand's back ... are they going to make her too???
UN Spacy Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 They should also make the jeep. As for me. Megahoes all the way.
protostar8 Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 That pic shows Annie/Mint on Rand's back ... are they going to make her too??? As of now, there is only speculation that Mint/Annie will be included with one of the bikes (no official parts list has been given for any future bikes). There is also speculation that the jeep will be made and she may possibly come with it. All I really know is that people posting way back on various forums commented that the company was going to make them all, then at this show, the company had the line-art up for all 4 bikes.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I'm pretty sure they are. See the picture's background...

There's are turning out pretty nice as long as the cost is kept down. So can we expect them to release each bike according to their number in that pic? 1, 2, 3 and 4? I was hoping Rooky would have been before the Saber...
eriku Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) This has probably been posted before, but this old Gakken Ride Armor commercial really makes me want one. I just may splurge for one before the new guys come out. I love the old Japanese toy commercials that have toys moving and transforming by themselves. If you look at the other video links there is also a video of the Toynami Cyclone. Edited November 17, 2007 by eriku
jenius Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 The video of the MPC has a good side profile of the bike... I think it looks better than I remembered. I still have some hopes for the Toynami although obviously I have more than a little apprehension regarding build quality.
Ishimaru Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 They should also make the jeep. As for me. Megahoes all the way. Huh?

I still have some hopes for the Toynami although obviously I have more than a little apprehension regarding build quality. I thought exactly the same thing. If the reviews are good I might buy one for display.
