Mog Posted September 25 Posted September 25 I’m sure they’ll show more pics and features of the Tread in the upcoming months. Just the fact that they’re showing colored prototype pics now and said they’ll be taking orders before the end of the year are good signs. Quote

We got Halloween in a month and every annoying store is gonna start advertising for Christmas in a couple weeks. Soon the stress of Christmas will set in and get you through the wait Quote
graphic revolt Posted September 26 Posted September 26 I wonder if they're gonna sell the tread with the Legioss as a set along a stand alone version? Also the retracting landing gear on the front maybe something they've engineered to stowaway but I wonder how they will address the rear landing gears . What we've seen in the past was to part swap this complicated strut mechanism but given Sentinnel goes overboard with the transformation sequence I will be surprised if they can pull the magic rabbit out of their engineering hats.

Mog Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Looking over the Toynami, the rear landing gears are placed on the back half, on the block that has the center booster. Assuming the boom is only in the front block, there should be enough room in this rear block to house the landing gears. Now how to design it somewhat consistent with lineart and be able to hold up the bomber’s weight? That’s beyond my pay grade. 😅 Quote
max928 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 where did everyone preorder their moshow cyclone? i saw bbts is out Quote
jenius Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I'm still waiting on a store I'm comfortable with to offer it. You can get Moshow stuff on amazon so I'm expecting wider availability soon. Quote

Axelay Posted September 29 Posted September 29 I still don't get why in every PR shot I see, the rider's feet aren't going on foot pegs. I mean, this DOES have pegs for that, right...? Quote

It's up to the end user how they position the legs and feet so they sit on the foot rest/pegs more naturally. Also this slider bar needed to be brought forward and attached to the middle of the Cyclone. Edited September 29 by shazam Quote

I know they have a delay compared to others, but they gave me some absolutely amazing customer service when I had an issue a few years back, and very much earned my business... except for when I find an item elsewhere for substantially less money.

graphic revolt Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) More & more I look at this promo, the more I see some AI shenanigan involved in making this busy looking design. I'm impressed with the engineering of the soldier figure but they stop me at the level where they completely lost the narrative of the design which was never sold as a part swapper. I have a 1/20 scale and they manage to make this without the half baked ready to serve the masses "schlop" of a toy! Thanks Toynami for not encouraging me to buy any of your products!

Mog Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Is there anything we can reference back to about the Beta fighter though? I know I have pics of the prototype from Summer 2005. But I don’t recall the partnership with Aoshima and Toynami being announced until a year or so later. Quote
jenius Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Well, no matter where we stand on the Beta, they definitely made the Alpha, even if the engineering was taken from Imai. Quote
Mog Posted September 30 Posted September 30 And I think we can all agree they made some horrible design choices with the Alpha: diecast in all the wrong places, whatever disintegrating material they used to make the hands, the brittle/refuses-to-stay-together-with-crazy-glue “material” they made the hip joints out of, and the banana boat fighter mode a few were cursed with. Just to name a few. The Alphas were also always tricky to pose nicely in battloid mode and weren’t exactly the sturdiest of toys. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1 Posted October 1 BBTS has opened the MoShow Toys CYCLONE once again for preorder. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/290464?o=1 Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1 Posted October 1 I posted something on Page 362 where I wish the wheels can still be rotated towards more to the body in Ride-Armor form. And I found a video via Weibo where it shows the wheels are indeed close to the back of the figure. Interesting. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Any updates about Pose+'s Alpha toy? That look really interesting. Quote

roboemo Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) Credits to @glane21 for this art drawn months ago. Mostly based on classic Mospeada design but added mix of headcanon (like under garments, ID Tags, and Skirt Dress Uniform) and new ones (Beret).
