DarrinG Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) If only they made toys of those, I'd be all over them. Not interested in paying through the nose for resin kits that will be next to impossible to get. I'm thinking E2046 will get these in eventually, don't lose hope. Took them several years to get the really pricey Wave Galient OVA kits in. If they can get those done they can gets the Gosu... Edited July 24, 2012 by DarrinG Quote

If they can get those done they can gets the Gosu... Well, here's to hoping that happens. I'm not going to hold my breath for them becoming easily available, but it would be great if it happens.

DarrinG Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I hope the CAP will do a 1/32 version to go with his beast Legioss! Gotta have a version that has an opening, fold down cockpit! My wallet is vibrating though and hopes he does not do this mecha... Edited July 25, 2012 by DarrinG Quote
Einherjar Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 EXO, If you haven't seen the Shadow Chronicles yet this is pretty much how you'll feel afterwards. By the way, happy sixth (or whatever) birthday Shadow Chronicles in advance. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted before: Elint-Legioss... Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 That is awesome Darrin, I've never seen that Legioss variant before! Quote

EXO Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted before: And there's a reason why it hasn't... lol. Man, there's no frowny emoticon sad enough to put here to say how sad that is. I'm pretty sure diehard RT fans are just doing things like that to get a reaction from someone, or they're just really bored by now. Quote
mechaninac Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Conceptually, that Elint Alpha is a nice idea and looks intriguing, but the execution is pure "kit-bash" plagiarism. Note to RT fans: You don't do yourselves any favors when you blatantly lift parts off Kawamori's VFs to tack on to an Armo-Fighter... it's beyond tacky. It's perfectly fine to take inspiration from MF to create something nifty for RT, after all a masted radar dish and belly sail are what they are, but do make an attempt to develop your own design that conforms to the aesthetics of the Mospeada mecha.

Einherjar Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) What do you expect? It's not like they have official mechanical designers, and other important talent,to solve many of those problems these days. Edited July 28, 2012 by Einherjar Quote

jenius Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 My problem with the Elint Legioss is that the parts were placed where they wouldn't make sense for transformation. The radar array would be a big dish on the soldier's butt and the antenna would be a giant penis or abdominal protrusion. The radar array should be attached to the bottom of the craft and flip around to either the back of battroid or on top like the VE-1. The antenna should be attached to the arm (or, two smaller antenna protruding way up like the fins normally would). Quote
VF5SS Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 my problem is someone just photoshopped RVF-171 parts onto a Legioss Quote
Frogze Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 It's a Nice mix atually, I thought the transformation to be possible so I gave it a try (and a touch of Macross Mecha Manual ) : Quote
Lobizon Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 It's a Nice mix atually, I thought the transformation to be possible so I gave it a try (and a touch of Macross Mecha Manual ) Nice work there on the transformation, pretty interesting Frogze. Quote
Ahab Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Seems to me the Elint Legioss was dreamed up by a fan who simply likes the designs and is having some fun....no harm in that, right? Nice work on that transformation sequence, Frogze. Quote

Jasonc Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 But,,,,but....what happened to "Shadow Technology"? Quote
Frogze Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks guys! Actually there was a couple of other ideas that came in mind first as to where the antenna blades should have gone while I was doing this but I thought the bunny ears on the shoulder was the cutest ^^ Jasonc, I'm not getting what you meanwith Shadow Technology. But maybe that's because I've never took the time to see the Shadow Chronicles Quote

DarrinG Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I had no idea you could even hide the giant Destroid Monster with Shadow technology: Quote
Gubaba Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I had no idea you could even hide the giant Destroid Monster with Shadow technology: I dunno if this thread has reached a new low or a new high... Quote
DarrinG Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Let's bring it back then... On the Legioss, when you change to soldier mode, how does the pilot cockpit configure? Does the pilot seat rotate 90 clockwise / forward so that the pilot is facing the back of the mech? Where does the canopy glass go? Edited July 30, 2012 by DarrinG Quote

DarrinG Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Still want to talk about the Legioss cockpit re-configuration, but first we might need to toss around some synchro-cannon talk... Edited July 30, 2012 by DarrinG Quote
Gubaba Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Still want to talk about the Legioss cockpit re-configuration, but first we might need to toss around some synchro-cannon talk... GET. OUT. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Not sure about the whole giant canon thing on that Beta..but I'm kinda diggin the whole "low-viz" look of the thing..might have to pick one up eventually if they become shelf warmers and get cheap! Quote
DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Lil ol me 'get out'? You might be missing all my sarcasm, such as hiding a giant destroys monster with shadow tech and so on. I'm a Mospeada fan through and through, as you can tell by my using Legioss instead of RT terminology above. But you will notice that this thread often contrasts the Toynami offerings against the true Japanese counterparts. I think most Mospeada fans are at least mildly interested in new releases, even if they're called Betas instead of Treads... Quote
CoryHolmes Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 The thing I don't like about that Elint-Legios/Alpha is that it's too busy. There's too much extraneous stuff that doesn't really look like it belongs (a gripe I have with the later Macross mecha, too). personally, I'd just over-size the missle pods in the shoulders and turn them into synthetic apature radar gizmos, maybe some other odds and ends in the other missle pods. Yes, this leaves the Alpha mecha woefully under-missled, but isn't that the trade off for an EWACs unit? More electronics and fewer weapons? Quote
