Froy Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Where is my Tread Sentinel? I swear, every time I see this tread pop to the top my blood pump skips a beat in the hopes for news on the Tread. Lol. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 14 Posted July 14 AmiAmi requested payment for my Sentinel Yellow Blowsuperior. U$S 167 including DHL shipping. Quote

I've been meaning to try out some Archi stands anyways, so I guess this is the thing that pushes me over the edge on ordering some. My stands will work with Sentinel adapters for legioss for sure. I don't have the photos right now but some user posted it on FB group for me. Quote
MKT Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Nice to see more progress on that huge Legioss. Looks like Pose+ has iterated more on it to allow exposed details on certain parts. Still no word on pricing though. Quote
roboemo Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Well, at least I won’t have to be skeptical about “why the under part of armor didn’t match with their outfit or do they take off their jumpsuit before donning armor”? Quote

no3Ljm Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Hey guys. I have a question. Someone posted this on Facebook in one of the comments on the photo posts above. He mentioned that it supposed to be the 'Masterpiece' Cyclone prior of Toynami rebranding the Beagle release. It looks closely to Gakken's proportion but I think it's a transformable one. I can't remember if I already read something about it before or probably forgotten about it since it's been 16 years. Can someone refresh my head about this prototype? Thanks! Quote
jenius Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Toynami was making their own masterpiece toy but abandoned it when they saw the Beagle and instead made a deal with Beagle to import their toy with a new head as part of their masterpiece line. Quote

Thanks @jenius! I guess, that's why Scott's head looks familar on that video. I didn't know this prior. Thanks! Any chance you know where I can find some atleast clearer photos of this? I'm curious on the overall form. It really looks close as how 'Cyclone' lineart is. Quote
jenius Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I'll check my archives when I get back from SDCC but hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction beforehand. This was 16 (maybe 17) years ago so it may take some dredging! Quote

no3Ljm Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I'm not sure why they're showing cross-section display. Is it going to have some open panel feature to expose some internals? Quote

But this is actually the Toynami rebranded of the Beagle figure which most of us here have. 40 minutes ago, Ignacio Ocamica said: More prototype pics from 2007: http://www.toybotstudios.com/2007/08/toynami-masterpiece-cyclone-scott.html?m=1 Thanks @Ignacio Ocamica! This is the first time I've seen this photos. It has that Gakken and Aoshima kit vibe to it design-wise. As much as I love the Beagle release and the stylized Sentinel release, I'm still looking forward to something that resembles close to the lineart, if not, resembles the old toy styling. Bulky looking but can still be mounted to the bike very nicely and not like Gakken's 1/8 figure. @jenius has this photo from his Gakken 1/20 Armor Bike review which he uses with CM's Brave Gokin Ride Armor figure. Which I think looks nice together. Has that lineart feel to it. Hope when Sentinel decides to do the classic design, they do something like this. Quote
roboemo Posted July 26 Posted July 26 So today's release date for Genesis Breaker Mospeada. Anything new other than Hobby Japan website's articles and artworks? Quote
jenius Posted July 26 Posted July 26 The more complicated the pose+ alpha gets, the less I think it will be made. Quote
MechTech Posted July 26 Posted July 26 (edited) I'm not a toy collector, but they did a cool job super-detailing a lot of things on the Alpha. I was trying to figure out what that green thing is, until I realized its a Cyclone. Even the GU-13 looks to have energy cells (I think), though it says sabot rounds on the artwork. Cool details because you can pose them open for "maintenance" being done. That's looking like a $300 toy! - MT Edited July 26 by MechTech Quote
Chas Posted July 26 Posted July 26 (edited) I still don't understand what those pistons are doing on the rider's shins. They can't be serving any function in that location, just looks like pointless detailing that makes no sense. Edited July 26 by Chas Quote
jenius Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I imagine we should believe that it is the mechanical element acting like a traditional knee. Quote

Robotech has a lot of weird stuff in its very limited technical material because the main source Harmony Gold tapped for the info was quite literally someone's fan fiction. In this specific case, the fan group in question was trying to rationalize what they felt was an issue in the depiction of the Legioss's gunpod. The issue in question being that in one scene in the animation, and several pieces of art like the below cutaway from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA Color Graffiti, the Legioss's 80mm beam gunpod is depicted as having 3 smaller barrels inside its cowling. That detail, plus a different set of sound effects used for Robotech II: the Sentinels, let them to conclude that there were actually two different but identical-looking gunpods: the beam gunpod and a conventional rotary cannon. Even though that detail was a complete fabrication by fans with no official basis whatsoever, it stuck around. Quote

I know there's lots of talk about the over-engineered looking parts like the shin pistons, but I can see needing something like that to absorb flights, leaps, and falls... especially when it's such a chonk. I imagine some kind of system like that had to exist under the old armor. Then again anime magic, right? Quote
MKT Posted July 28 Posted July 28 For a heavily re-interpreted item, this Moshow Cyclone has made the transition from grey prototype to colour in both modes much better than say, the Unix Square Transforming VF-1. But the rider itself is the one that looks weird - face, overall body sculpt. Quote
mantisfists Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Man, I was all in until those pics. Unless it's mis-transformed, the wheels and backpack sit way too low on his back for my taste. It's almost at the waist. While I personally love all the details and size of this figure, the wheels over the shoulder are an iconic look for me on the Cyclone. Without it, the armor mode just doesn't appeal to me, personally. That bike mode still looks gorgeous, though. Quote
claude grant Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I'm 1000 percent on board with both the Legioss, Cyclone, and Ride Armor redesigns. But I'm with Chas on that shin piston; not for it's inclusion, but for it's exposure/visibility. I wish they would have designed a removable armor plate that covers that up. You wouldn't want an area that is obviously critical for mobility to be unprotected like that; especially on the front of such a machine designed for aggressive combat...go figure. I hope they revisit that one area and give it a cover of some sort before this gets released. Quote

Duymon Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I'm kinda surprised the Cyclone is a partsformer with those separate chest and crotch armor pieces Quote
