Recent trip to Volks Akihabara.  No3LjM had previously posted pictures of the same display so I'm posting different angles.

There seems to be a new 1/100 Legioss around, to be produced by Experten.

Cool! Must be fairly tiny. - MT

Ok, that is what I've been wanting to see out of the Legioss for forever: giving it proportions and styling that makes it look like it could actually operate as an aircraft.

Granted, there's no way those proportions would transform into any sort of functional mech, at least not without modifying the legs into something closer to the Sentinel design, but I'd love to see how close you could get to that aircraft mode before diver and soldier began to become unrecognizable.

Scale-wise, 1/100 would normally be stupidly tiny for a Legioss, but the proportions of that model are completely different.  Based on the cockpit, it looks like it would be around the size of an HMR VF-1.  The overall layout makes me think of a delta-winged F-18.

But yeah.. being Experten means you better hope for lots of photos.  Reverse-engineering that concept image into a working model is probably more likely than getting a physical copy for yourself.

The F-18 is indeed where he started. Here are some more posts of the process:

Here's the link I got.

This thing is massive! I love the magnet base. It’s pretty sturdy. I haven’t transformed it but I did find one issue with my unit. I’m not sure if it’s just on mine but the forearm missiles/armor doesn’t line up when in motorcycle mode. I didn’t see any indication that in could be rotated either. I need to play around with it some more.

Also some of the pictures in the manual didn’t make sense. Like this one shows to attach the thigh armor on the rear peg but doing so would of misaligned the entire piece with the wheel and the other side.

This one says to pull down the peg in front of the engine when in reality, the peg pulls up.

Okay the manual is pretty useless when it comes to instructions on transforming the ride armor. The pictures are just really bad and have the worst angles. I had to look at a YouTube video to figure it out. I’m sure @jenius will make a better transformation guide. Despite what the few reviews I’ve seen says, I haven’t been able to stand the unit on its own and have to use the magnetic base.

That's a lot of ride armor! Thanks for sharing the experience so far.

That is a massive ride armor. Cool pics!

[rsvictor1976]

The real magic is the stand...

In case you’re wondering, the base takes up an entire Detolf shelf.

Gotta admit.....that last pic looks pretty DAMN HOT!

I've just assembled the motorcycle parts. This little ball joint may be the most delicate part I come across in this toy yet. I dare not to rotate this little ball joint. It's quite thin and short. Most joints are quite tight.

Also, I find my simplified Chinese version manual is wrong in this step. I don't know if the English version is the same. The pegs should be put in different holes. I am eagerly waiting for Jenius's detail review and transformation guide.

The English version is the same. Also the ball joint was even scarier attaching it to the figure in power armor mode.
