Mommar Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 The crotch is lowered. At first I thought it was just how the YF-30's gerwalk looks, but if you notice when he shows the VF-25G in gerwalk it also has its crotch piece half way folded to its battroid position. Mis-transformation maybe? I don't see that on the 25G. But the 30 actually does have that piece lowered. The upper half can swivel in Gerwalk as well as in Battroid. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I don't see that on the 25G. But the 30 actually does have that piece lowered.

xrentonx Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I think those are the old V1s, actually. You can tell by how awful the 25F looks in Battroid. Edited April 6, 2014 by xrentonx Quote
Mommar Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Though you do bring up a good point. Until this point every gerwalk had the intakes attached to the body of the plane. If the YF-30 eschews that how are they going to make the legs stable? Quote

If the YF-30 eschews that how are they going to make the legs stable? It looks like the stand adapter pinches up behind the pelvis. Hopefully there will be some sort of integrated support bar like with the renewals. Edited April 6, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Anybody else notice the dropped pelvis on the YF-30 and VF-25G gerwalks? The crotch is lowered. At first I thought it was just how the YF-30's gerwalk looks, but if you notice when he shows the VF-25G in gerwalk it also has its crotch piece half way folded to its battroid position. Mis-transformation maybe? I'm afraid that may be the way it transforms. Me no like it. I think those are the old V1s, actually. You can tell by how awful the 25F looks in Battroid. And you're right there, with those v.1s the only way to have an A stance in gerwalk mode was by unlocking the crotch and intakes Quote
valhary Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 excuse me if already posted but I can't remember having seen Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 excuse me if already posted but I can't remember having seen Wow! Nice catch valhary. Not sure how bandai is going to get away with that one lol. Quote
close313 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Wow! Nice catch valhary. Not sure how bandai is going to get away with that one lol. Bandai always gets away with things.. Quote
Mommar Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Wow, there's literally no back of the head there. Quote
Shukenzero Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Wonder what fast packs they have for the 30...are there any in the ps3 game? Also: repaints galore. A low viz one would be sweet Quote

A low viz one would be sweet No there aren't any additions to the YF-30 in the game. And only two other additional paint schemes that look very... Transformers, to me. Quote
Matt Random Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Wow, there's literally no back of the head there. And a pathetic neck! I think I'll be passing on this one. I don't like the look of the head, the abdomen or crotch. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 aahahaha, skeleton valk! no thank you, I'll save my 200 bucks. Quote
Loop Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Hrmm the neck and the rear of the head look pretty suspect. I planned on getting one and leaving it in fighter mode, but would like to have the option. I also noticed that the Gerwalk looks wrong like others have mentioned. Seems the intakes are not attached and that is pretty suspect too. I will wait and see I guess.... Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 OH MY GOD GUYS, THIS TOY IS ABSOLUTE CRAP! EVERYONE SHOULD TOTALLY NOT GET ONE OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO PRE-ORDER IT. except for me. Quote
Matt Random Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Are those two black on each side of abdomen just below the chest part of the balk or the stand? Looks like the cockpit is clearly visible from the side in battroid mode. Quote
VGMStudios Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 When is preorder date? anyone know? That what I would like to know. Quote
Tking22 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 excuse me if already posted but I can't remember having seen Damn that's hilarious and awful. I convinced myself a while back I don't need one in my collection, but, if everyone is going crazy over this thing I may still buy a squad to sell later. Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Are those two black on each side of abdomen just below the chest part of the balk or the stand? Looks like the cockpit is clearly visible from the side in battroid mode. Yes, those two black pieces are part of the valk. Quote
Scream Man Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I think u could fold the missile pod down OK. It would definitely just dangle off the back, but thats OK with me. Im excited, lets bring it on Bandai! Quote
Mommar Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I think u could fold the missile pod down OK. It would definitely just dangle off the back, but thats OK with me. Im excited, lets bring it on Bandai! No you can't do that. The back of the cockpit is in the way of the folding mechanism. Quote
Marcion Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 after seeing the neck I think I not going to buy it, although fighter mode is beauty but transform it into battroid look fragile, maybe some later time Bandai make another ver2 who know. Quote
Scream Man Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 No you can't do that. The back of the cockpit is in the way of the folding mechanism. It won't sit flush, but it will still drop down Quote
Hikuro Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 My valks are packed and now I wanna play with them......damn this sucks. Quote
Shukenzero Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 OH MY GOD GUYS, THIS TOY IS ABSOLUTE CRAP! EVERYONE SHOULD TOTALLY NOT GET ONE OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO PRE-ORDER IT. except for me. Lol Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 This valk looks awesome in fighter mode, it remind me of the Russian Sukhoi T-50. Hope to aquire at lease one piece. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Hope that back-of-head shot isn't final. I'll pick it up for fighter mode but I'm gonna dock points Quote
GU-11 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I don't have a habit of displaying my Valks with their backs facing me, so the back of the head isn't an issue. Seriously though, I'm not a fan of the missile pod in battroid mode. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Hope that back-of-head shot isn't final. I'll pick it up for fighter mode but I'm gonna dock points Hate to break this to you, but the back of the VF-25F's head is basically the same. Quote
Magnus Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 It's a gorgeous figure, it's just that missile pod is so damn awkward. I'll buy it for the jet mode alone though. Quote
Raptor One Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Man that fighter mode is so beautiful but the other modes are so not. Maybe without the missile pod... Quote
Scyla Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 What is up with this talk about the back of the head turret? I don't get it. Maybe the missile pod is detachable to allow for different armaments. So you could detach the pod and just have the arm sticking out of the back. We probably have to wait for the first in hand reports to determine if this is possible. Quote
