seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Looks like an eva..unit 2 specifically... Quote
easnoddy Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I don't think so. Its not red, and doesn't have the shoulder restraints. Giant Gorg perhaps? Maybe L-Gaim Mk II? Probably neither. Edited October 25, 2018 by easnoddy Quote

seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Wow for a moment there...then I suddenly realised it could be a L-gaim.. Quote
Lord_Of_Tetris Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 It seems that Bandai is using the same marketing tactics of the third-party Transformer companies, which reveal frustrating "teaser" images that are intentionally blurred, pixelated, or ridiculously zoomed in so all you see is, like, a hinge and a joint. That figure could be anything. Tekkaman Blade? Quote
easnoddy Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 The part (or lack thereof) that sways me away from L-Gaim Mk II is the missing backpack which would make the torso look more full. Quote

It's a Kawamori illustration so it's legit. Wing and tail modex markings have also been standard for real life aircraft for decades. Whether the wing gives the full number or just the last two digits seems to vary by squadron. Looking good! It's actually nice to see Bandai replicating some actual markings, instead of making up their own. Edited October 25, 2018 by Chronocidal Quote

Agree, and the missing shield as well I guess. I don't think it could be Eva (does not have the cat-back) or VF-27 either. But I am sure someone will click with an idea at some point and we will all go - ahh, that's it! soon enough. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Now this is interesting. I wonder if the missiles will still detach? Quote
jenius Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I think that pic proves they don't. That particular missile needs to move for transformation. Quote
Killaforevah Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I just want to know if this release will be a parts-former! Quote
Atheonyirh Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 No more than the VF-2SS is if I had to guess. Quote

It looks a bit fragile since its a HMR... 10 hours ago, Ignacio Ocamica said: If it's metal like the inner structure of the VF-2SS it should be OK, but you are right, considering the size of this HMR, we need to be careful with the joint. You know the drill, guys. It's why we need to buy 4. One for each form. And one to keep it MISB. 11 hours ago, seti88 said: No modex seen on the rudders! ... break out the rubbing alcohol! As if that we've seen big NETFC and UNSpacy on the wings of YF-19 in some anime shots? But it's still there. 7 hours ago, easnoddy said: I don't think so.

But I don't think it is since the blurred image shows a big of a shoulder is. I don't think it's the L-Gaim MkII also. Even if it was L-Gaim MkII, why the transition from Robot Damashii to Hi-Metal R? Knowing that the MkII is seen cheaper on any secondary hand stores. 6 hours ago, Lord_Of_Tetris said: It seems that Bandai is using the same marketing tactics of the third-party Transformer companies, which reveal frustrating "teaser" images that are intentionally blurred, pixelated, or ridiculously zoomed in so all you see is, like, a hinge and a joint.

The wing flap markings still look weird to me and I'm going to be painting over that area anyway, so they're still coming off. Quote

We're getting off topic but it looks like the Bat-Shu from L-Gaim. I hope I'm wrong. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 1 of the 5 will be left in Fighter mode flying next to a VF-1S Roy and 1/100 F-14 Jolly Rogers. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) I ordered this a while back before the HMR reveal. Now I’ll just leave it unbuilt and keep it in its box. Edited October 26, 2018 by sh9000 Quote
jvmacross Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 = Guaranteed extra 3 month wait to get the HMR Macross mech we really want Quote
Sildani Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Kinda reminds me of something from 3 Star Stories. Quote

Silhouette kind of looks like Bat-Shu. But it doesn't make sense knowing they already released it via Robot Damashii line. Was this silhouette part of the HMR display or RD to begin with? If it's in the HMR display then we're not off topic. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Really hope there is something else announced for HMR macross......I want to know at minimum that the Phalanx, Tomahawk and DYRL N-Ger are on the way for 2019.....so we can all stop worrying about it....VF-1D would honestly be a bigger surprise than that VF-4....the VF-4 had not been much of a secret for at least a few days before all the official pics started showing up....so Bandai can't be showing all it's Macross cards before the show right? Right?!?! Quote
seti88 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Hopefully this Sunday will tell! And if there is, sometimes there is problem of no photographs allowed and only had a single wide shot of the prototypes... anyone here manage to score tix to go? Play I spy with my macross eye? Edited October 26, 2018 by seti88 Quote
Big s Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 They did tease hint gorg already, but that looks more l- gaim to me. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) PO for VF-4.... November 1st 4pm JST Release date March 19, 2019 Edited October 26, 2018 by jvmacross Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 I wonder what the PO demand will be like. Not looking forward to spinning wheel of death hehe Quote

sh9000 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 The plan for me next week will be to trick or treat with the kid after work, come home and rest, wake up, and then preorder from NY. Quote
GabrielV Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 2 hours ago, jvmacross said: PO for VF-4.... November 1st 4pm JST Wee hours of a workday for me. This one's not that important to me. If it's still available for PO on AmiAmi when I wake up, then I may bite. If not, then I still have my Arcadia VF-4G. Quote
jenius Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 I think this will be like the VF-2, not the craziest preorder. It's expensive and not as much appeal as some other releases. Quote
