Kin Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 yeah the feet of the beagle seem small, but I think it looks very good in bike mode. They got the tires right! It's those bulky tires that stood out in the original design. Well as for the headsculp.. it looks nice and authentic 80's style. I'm definitely saving money for this. How large/tall is it?
Alex Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) i was just thinking the other day how exactly the ride armor transforms WHILE in motion. Wouldn't the bike have to go THROUGH the rider's body. The back of the Gakken shows Stick almost going over the front end of the bike but it's not really clear. The frame-by-frame on the dvd didn't really show it well either. What goes on exactly?! Edited May 3, 2008 by Alex
misterryno Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 What goes on exactly?! Animemagic my friend BTW Sream Man...BAD A$$ Avatart!
drifand Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Ideally, the 'fuel tank' would separate from the front cowling and slip under the rider's crotch to re-form on his back. But what it is exactly that holds the pieces in place during such a sequence would definitely be Anime Magic.
Alex Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 And what happens if they get into the armor when NOT wearing their 21 Jump-street-jump-suits? STICK: OH GOD! IT'S TAKEN OFF THE FIRST FIFTEEN LAYERS OF SKIN!!!!!!!!!

But what it is exactly that holds the pieces in place during such a sequence would definitely be Anime Magic. You don't think it could me made so the cowling is jointed to the front chest armor, and the chest armor, instead of being jointed to the front portion of the bike, could be attached farther back on the bike's under carriage? Not that beagle has done this, but it seems that might be a viable solution for perfect mounting transformation. It doesn't matter that much though. Beagle has pretty much given us the closest thing we're probably ever going to get to a PT ride armor and this make me happy. Edited May 4, 2008 by GobotFool
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Arragghhh stuff it i don't want the stinkin CM red! >_< (trying to make this hard decision all day and yesterday!) lol

CAIN MKII Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Awesome Gilermo, you lucky guy, this gakken looks amazing!

Chet Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Here's a thought: if Megahouse managed to include chest missle compartments and larger tires for Yellow's Ride Armor, anybody think they would release an improved version of Stick's and Rey's with these features?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) The Stick/Rey type standard Ride Armours never had shoulder/chest missile pods. Just only for blowspiereier. But better tyre's would be nice to upgrade the standards. (maybe more send away coupon possibilities?) Edited May 5, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Scream Man Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 i dont mind the tires on the MH anyway, so it wouldnt bother me.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 For armour mode they look great, but for ride mode bigger is better.

jenius Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 In RT terms, IIRC there's an episode where Scott tells Rand the Cyclone won't transform if the rider isn't wearing the requisite armor. I think it's that second episode where Rook shows up and saves the day.

markramsay Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Just a heads up guys, that my first ( and possibly only run) of mega house ride armor custom labels are almost sold out. Between here, and Tfw2005.com i've almost sold all 30 sets. i've got 10 sets left for pre-order and i'm all out. get em while their still available
Scream Man Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Are they stickers or decals? Edited May 6, 2008 by Scream Man
markramsay Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Are they stickers or decals? they are printed on clear and white vinyl, you have to cut yourself, NOT waterslides.
CAIN MKII Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I received my CM's legioss+tread today. What an awesome toy! You can feel the quality unlike my toycrapy legioss. Superb details and pretty well built. I love the plugs they added to mask the screw holes. Maybe a bit expensive but finaly I have a legioss I'm not ashamed of. Too bad it didn't include stickers for the tread. But I'm sure somebody is already working on this.

There has been some talk (more like me trying to convince people to do it) of decals/stickers being made for the TREAD. But as of yet there's nothing in the works that I know of. Anyways....I think I'm rambling. When you get to the point of bustin out some poses with your L/T PLEASE post them in the "Strike A Pose : Mospeada Version" thread.
Vermillion21 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I finally got a CM cyclone, the Scott/Stick version and the friggin windshield was already broken in the package. Frak. Man, this toy is really, really, really tiny!!! Edited May 7, 2008 by Vermillion21

Yeah, I applied the hole covers already. Gives a better overall finish and make it look less like a toy. Superb! I pray somebody will go to the process of creating stickers (or better: waterslide decals!!!) just like the hurricane armor suit. Now I'm working on my L/T, a few paint strokes here and there, some outlines. As soon as it 's over I will post some pix.
gilermo Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) For whom ever is looking for a very good gakken cyclone. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...&hl=cyclone Or a set of CM ride armors. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26013 Edited May 7, 2008 by gilermo
EXO Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 Beagle says rider to bike proportion was the most important part in their design, looks very good indeed - the BEST mospeada toy so far. but i'm not happy with that face sculpt, hope Beagle can improve it. PS > Latest estimated price range is around US$200 Hey Shun, you posted this at Toys Daily, where'd you get the price point?
jenius Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Overdrive said the $200 price mark after speaking with reps at a show IIRC...

Now I'm working on my L/T, a few paint strokes here and there, some outlines. As soon as it 's over I will post some pix. i'd be happy tp TRY, but like i told others, i don't have the toy, nor am i getting one, so i'd need VERY detailed 1:1 scans of the areas of the figure that need decals to proper size them, and a decent scan of existing decals or a design i can use to start a vector trace.
CAIN MKII Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I don't know if it was mentioned before but I think there's a mistake in the red tread's marking. I was staring at my newly own zeta tread when a detail stroke me. Facing the thread, on the front right missile bay, you can read this: MARS BASE. Wasn't the red L/T affected to jupiter base?
