jenius Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 defender is these URL A bit off topic but I think the poster in the background of the Yamato gashapons shows the chase valk... but it's not one I immediately recognize.
Sundown Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Defender looks excellent, but that's no surprise, given how great the Tomahawk's legs already look, and the Defender's torso and guns are one of the easier things to get right. And is it me or does the 1/60 VF-1 in fighter mode's nose look pointier than I remember? And why's it nekkid?

Yeah i noticed it, it's in the mecha design book though, i gotta drag it out though and check the naming... Edited May 7, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
kensei Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 It'll only take half the work to make the other destroids now. Legs are just a straight copy of each other.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Not really. lol It's a tease, not showing internal cockpit detail! T_T Oh well in a month or so... They could easily change the destroid pilot type to a DYRL? with a different colour scheme. My guess TV pilot suit with TV helm? Honetly can't remember them having different helmets, besides the Monster crew. (much different) Edited May 7, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

CF18 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 And of couse to complete all the variables that Hikaru our hero flew.. the VF-4... but who the hell wants that? Hay don't forget the only destroid Hikaru used to kick some ass!
Sundown Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Anyone else feel the Tomahawk could stand to be a little bit darker? I seem to remember it being more of a light brown in various art, including the scene my avatar was taken from.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 These are going to look nice near the vf-1 1/60. Battletech/mechwarrior fans will be happy.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Cool! thanks for the pic, couldn't remember it lol. Hay don't forget the only destroid Hikaru used to kick some ass! i did mention the Spartan! Just didn't say destroid. Edited May 7, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
promethuem5 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 The Destroid legs aren't actually exact copies of each other in the lineart, so I hope Yamato doesn't totally lazy-out and just carbon copy them three times...
rowlund Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 okay, so far we got yamato making the tomahawk and the defender. I sure hope they continue on and produce the spartan and the phalanx. Hopefully, the monster as well and in 1/60 scale too! (this is gonna be one big mother though if they do).
EXO Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I'd be fine if they didnt do the Spartan... lol. But I'll get it if they did make it. They gotta make the Phalanx for sure. Half of it is already done.
sidearmsalpha Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 VB-6　König Monster Queadluun-Rea Is that second vid from Macross F? And is she really THAT well-endowed?!
Sumdumgai Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Both gifs are from Macross Frontier. That's a VB-6 Koenig Monster in action baby! HELL YEAH! And yes and no, Klan Klan is quite well endowed and not at all. It'll be interesting to see if Yamato develops a destroid line. And Yamato has already released a 1/60 Q-rau in two different colors. Edited May 10, 2008 by Sumdumgai
VFTF1 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 I generally would love some destroids - but as I have the Quud Rau Miria 1/60 from Yamato - I have to say I'm UNDRwelmed by it. First: 1) If you're going to charge a hundred bucks - how about making Miria/the pilot poseable - at least give it the same love that Bumblegum Crisis chick got. 2) How about removable missiles like on GBP armor? 3) How about legs that are on ratchet joints - since the Quud is top-heavy and ball joins just don't reall cut it 4) How about a bit more "mechanics?" I guess my complaint is that since it's just a non-variable figure it should have the poseability of a Revoltech, not to mention it should be sculpted more dynamically. It's a decent enough figure - but I hope the upcoming Destroids will either be cheaper or at least loaded with more goody features... Oh - and definitely a nice Klan Klan full scale poseable figure - in fact- how about three Meltran ladies who are poseable? VFTF1
AcroRay Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 it better not be this half Only if they've got the nerf missile launchers, too!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) That's the one i remember (since last time i watched). Looks like Max's dorky brother. Edited May 12, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
UN Spacy Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Is it even possible for Max to have a dorky brother? LOL.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Is it even possible for Max to have a dorky brother? LOL. well, the fact that he pilots a destroid instead of a varible fighter must contribute to dorkiness. Not that there is anything wrong with being a destroid pilot oh no.

Not that there is anything wrong with being a destroid pilot oh no. GASP! Are you saying destroid jockies are anything less than the most qualified? Just cause they couldn't get a vf pilots license doesn't mean they are dorky.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) I'm just jerkin the chain, destroid pilots RULE! Just that in the shows they need to get better air time, and of course stop being blown up! Edited May 13, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Scream Man Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 It seems to be the least bitched about of the new Macross products.
AcroRay Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Because we're all too breathless with anticipation to even speak! Perhaps in the meantime, we can cozy up in a Destroid Monster T-Shirt! http://www.hlj.com/product/CSP31292 Edited May 28, 2008 by AcroRay

Roger Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Yamato has a product page up for the Tomahawk: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1184
Major Focker Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Yamato has a product page up for the Tomahawk: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1184 oooh.. me want! are there any pre-orders yet?
Major Focker Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 These are looking good. I will probably skip the tomahawk as I just cant look at it without seeing a happy face (I know it is my own mind that is at fault). argh! now you've done it! i was blissfully unaware of this, but now i'm seeing it too!
