Mommar Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Yes, yes yes! Finally armor and Chuck. With something that ludicrously large hopefully Bandai milks it for a few more releases. Quote
enphily Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Now, after all these photos, i feel some kind of sadness. And i don't know i still want it or not Quote

rdrunner Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I like this armor pack and will sure be getting one, but it seems to be a bit of an overkill. The 25F/S armor pack had better balance between size and posability. With all the weight distribution issues, this won't be able to stand up on its own in Battroid mode, and will be a bitxh to pose.

seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I want to see more pics in gerwalk and fighter mode! Btw that stand looks specially designed cos the rods seem to be protruding from it at the back... Quote
kajnrig Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Does anyone know what those "ring fins" attached to the boosters do, if anything? Ick. The more I see it the less I like it. It reminds me of the Full Armor Unicorn, where more and more is just slapdash cobbled together. I think I'd like it more if they did something as simple as move the missile pods on the boosters closer to where the boosters mount to the wing roots, and placed either on top of or on the inner sides of the boosters to give the Valk a more compact appearance. Ideally, the "Tornado" cannons would be excised entirely, freeing up space on the back for ordinance and allowing the "Stampede" chainguns to be the big gun upgrades. Quote

Alex GS Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 by any case somebody knows if this armor will be a regular release or a TWE ? Quote
jenius Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Every add-on has been a TWE for a while so, barring a gift-set, it will most likely be TWE. This thing looks uglier every time I see it. I mean, I'm obviously getting it, but I can't imagine hiding such a beautiful design inside such an ugly one for any length of time.

valhary Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I like it but worried that looks very heavy hope it's only the prototype but looks impossible to hold without the stand arms Quote
protostar8 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 So are we expecting the armor to get released for other characters too? Quote

jvmacross Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Is the armor color supposed to be orange?....looks better closer to red....unless we are getting 5 different armors? Also....to me it looks better in gerwalk mode.... Quote
seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Considering orange is more suitable for chuck, I dunno ...bandai shenanigans again? Maybe they will change the colour in the end...but orange looks fresh too! Quote

Also....to me it looks better in gerwalk mode.... It looks like a combination of: a VF-25S full armor pack minus the back boosters; + the VF-171EX arm missile armor; + the VF-25 tornado back cannons; + two Gatling guns on each arm from FA unicorn; + (what seems to be the only original part) a new backpack booster unit with the ring like frame on the side?

Seems Bandai has gone from "purple is the new red" to "orange is the new red"....or simply put...they've gone Full-on Arcadia on the colors again... Quote
seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Orange is a risky colour for bandai to handle...as evident from their hmr super-O.. Quote

Haha that was from Stephen Chau’s “From Beijing with Love”, which was his comedy take on the Bond films. But the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of this “Super Weapon”, LOL! Quote

Agreed and that was a much more elegant design (some say the -25S armor pack was inspired by the original stampede. Sure, the Stampede was heavily armed, but at least it didn’t need 5 stands to support all the kibble hanging out on almost every angle! Quote
HardlyNever Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Not gonna lie, now that I see it in fully finished form, I don't like it as much as I thought I would. I don't think Bandai really nailed it; it looks way more menacing and beefy in the drawn/animation versions I've seen. But turning a design that is that over the top into plastic isn't an easy task. I'm still definitely going to buy it, but I'm a little disappointed in how it turned out. Maybe it will look a little better with all the missile ports closed up. Quote
dizman Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 The armor looks ok so far, I'd like to see it in gerwalk and fighter like others said. I think the lack of a decent pose is hurting how it looks, just kinda floating there with missile pods open. It's gonna be hard to put this in any sort of display case with how tall that cannon sits Quote

In all fairness....it was never officially brought to market in full PT awesomeness.... But MWer Majestic sure did not need any for his custom beast... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/31664-148-sdp-1-stampede-valkyrie/ Quote
seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Does anyone know what it says? It was a picture grouped with the delta valks...something in june next year? Quote
brouken Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Yay! Armor parts and Chuck's 31E! I'm all in for both! But...what's Arad doing with Chuck's armored pack? Quote

It says Walkure is unstoppable! Still trying to decipher the rest. It does have the words Armored in the text body so I guess its explaining the release dates? Quote

From the intertrons: Super alloy The Valkyrie won't stop. Crossover live in June 2019, and complete New production of the theater version system and macro-SMEs that followed the story However, the squad is finally stepping up ! I was able to finally announce the Armored that was active in the theater version. The Valkyrie still won't stop ! Quote
seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I see...was hoping that there would be a surprise announcement of something DX related...thanks for the translation! Quote
