Another Head swap in the helmet for Four characters instead of doubles. 

Not sure if redying the cloth uniform as I did with the last custom one. 

Also getting the Armoury Ready too.

Still need to build Moscato Rocket Launcher to add to Plastic Cretins along with old model kits weapons too.

Blowsperior gets a Warm Welcome once he is released (anytime soon I hope).

Is that Danny Trejo in the Ride Armor in the right?

Don't be ridiculous.  

 

It's obviously Willem Dafoe.

Williem Dafoe could totally pull off Colonel Jonathan in a LAM MOSPEADA movie

I want to see that movie.  Preferably without Tom Cruise in it.

Here are some initial suggestions;

Stick - Zac Efron 

Yellow- Aston Kutcher 

Amiee Garcia*- Houquet

Diego Luna*- Ray

*= I cant immediately think of any Brazilian or Bolivian actors if were following the map.

Given the displacement of the invasion, I don't think you have to be very careful with nationalities. Houquet is French and she's in South or Central America. I don't even know that Ray has an official last name so he could be any nationality.

Aston Kutcher, no way man.  No way.

There rest I could live with, although if Alexis Bledel was younger she'd make a great Houqet.  Fun fact, she's Argentinean.

[derex3592]

Rory Gilmore as Houqet/Rook... hmmmm....--- you know -- I could actually go for that if her hair was blonde and she was younger 

[blackconvoy_D01]

Bella Thorne as Aisha?

Jim Austin played by Joe Manganiello

Battra played by Evan Peters

Sorji played by Ruby Rose

Who'd play Mint?

Isabela Moner. You can't go wrong with Dora, right?  

Though I forgot Mint's nationality. So I'm just guessing here.

Rubble could be Robles- so that would work. And no, you cant go wrong with Dora.

Instead of Bolivian we could make her Argentine, since it use to be a French colony. Plus I'd wanna keep it latin personally.

I think Mint has to be Columbian since Panama was part of Columbia:

Absolutely on Mint.

My bad. When I said;

"Instead of Bolivian we could make her Argentine, since it use to be a French colony. Plus I'd wanna keep it latin personally." 

I was referring to Hoquet.

 

Additional observation; am I the only one who thinks Ray generally represents you the viewer in the MOSPEADA story? Hes the only one with no origin story or background whatsoever. He' s minimally experienced with a ride armor, but most skilled for a terran- and develops through the show. Thoughts?

Nope, french immigration was very little in Argentina. The Guianas are a best escenario for her birthplace.

K, based on the map eps. 8 is where Hoquet's origin story took place. I originally said Bolivian, but its actually Peru.

This discussion is making me think that since Reflex Point is in Canada, the human looking Inbit should be based on the local population.  It's got me thinking Strange Brew.

Yeah, that map provided by by Blackconvey above—if official—indicates that Reflex Point is between Lake Winnipeg and Lake Superior (not coloured on the map).  More specifically, between Lake of the Woods (you know, the Northwest Angle) and Lake Nipigon (1st time I've come across that name, too ), deep in the Canadian Shield, approximately 50 km from the border.

Given that those smaller lakes are fairly accurately drawn on that map, I'm tempted to say that it was a fairly deliberate choice to locate it there.  Perhaps one reason is that that area is full of waterways, making travel by motorcycle and other ground vehicles almost impossible?

Bella Thorne??? I guess...She can't really act anyway...Aisha just stays quiet 90% of the time and will do shrieks here and there so...

upvote on Joe, Evan and Ruby...

Mint can just be any girl off the street because they'd be so hyped on a first acting gig and do everything over the top just like Mint would. She provided comedic relief in the show. Even her drama was laughably over the top. Ask any aspiring little actress to do a dramatic scene and they'll get her character right on the first try. Probably cast straight out of a school play.

Just got email from NY the release date for Yellow was changed to 2019-08-30, yay it's really coming!

Unfortunately they might just cast Tom Cruise in the lead role of Scott Bernard because he has Top Gun, and Edge of Tomorrow under his belt; and he does his own stunts. Oh, and he's halfway there with aliens, spaceships, etc. with Scientology.

That's Robotech, not Mospeada:

The bad fan art should've been a dead giveaway.

Appreciated and noted. But the pic was from gears as my original point of reference;

Either way, I'd like it for a Riobot Ray.

Cool.

Hopefully, it’ll be a post-Labor Day surprise for this Yank’!

Wonder if they’ll sneak the Bartley on the box art?

[blackconvoy_D01]

Keeping the momentum going in anticipation of Riobot Sentinel Yellow with this acoustic cover of; In search of lost legends.

While doing some inventory of some old Animation magazines in the collection, I stumbled across this pic from from 12/1983.

Yes, that there is an un-produced prototype Imai 1/72 Tread plastic model....in both modes!

For the old detectives in the room, NOW we finally know why in the Artmic book we have that unused Tread Box art for Bomber and Soldier modes!! It was done for this prototype. It is a shame Imai was not able to get it produced, it looks fantastic!

It only took 35 years to figure it out.

Wow Shaun, awesome find! It does look great.

[Bariaburu Faita]

Very nice find, which magazine was that?

[derex3592]

Cool find Shawn!!! 

[Shawn]

The picture of the Imai prototype Tread is in Hobby Japan 12/1983

I looked in the other magazines that cover goods (like My Anime) and they have the same Mospeada display in a smaller B&W, but it doesn't cover the Tread at all, just the standard kits.

I would pay through the nose for a book from the early 80's that presented all the hobby/anime goods that were on display during that time. The show photographers must have the original pics in full 35mm I bet in their collections (let me believe)...like these examples (sorry to pollute the Mospeada thread with macross pics, won't do anymore)

Wow, awesome!
