After seeing @tekering's outstanding build the of the Gnerl, I would LOVE to see your build ups of the Crabs. Are you going to partake?

Way ahead of you, buddy.

Very clever how you made the cannons removable!

A testament to the quality design of the base kit! 

 

… now make some Hovertanks already!! 

[derex3592]

That's gorgeous!

In as much as Meptoys announced production of SC merchandise, I won't be poking the bear.

@tekering did you ever get Blueberry and King Crab?  If so, do you have pics???  Those two were my favorite Invid build ups.

I spent over $1300 on Blueberry Crabs -- just to ensure they'd get produced, mind you -- and multiple Kings as well, but I got stalled trying to source appropriately strong joints to articulate the Kings (I want action figures, not static models!), and... other projects have since occupied my attention.

Oh, I much prefer the Helper Crab.  Those ball-joints solve all sorts of problems.  

This one's from @duckmodelkits in Chile.

[Convectuoso]

@duckmodelkits built these for me

I always wished I'd had the means to get another two King Crabs to do the purple and the odd "cannon fodder" version...

B-but!!  

 

Waaaaaah!  

[505thAirborne]

Wish I had this one, would love to have it next to Stick's Legioss & Tread. 

Some day when I have more $$$ I'll find one.

Hi everyone,

I share this I did:

They are the monitor screen of the Mospeada riobot.

I leave the file in .ai format, 10x10cm document size CMYK. Ready to print on sticker paper.

PS: I had to simplify several parts, because the screen is too small.
I did some tests with my epson printer and it works pretty well.

Enjoy it!
Thank you

Well, my Yellow broke during transformation. There's a metal pin the gauntlet swivels on that must have been damaged during assembly. The part was crooked in comparison to the other side and as the housing rotated (which was notably harder to rotate than the other side) the peg snapped off where the housing met the support. I drilled it all out and replaced with a 1.5 mm hobby rod. I might head to the hardware store to find a 1.5 mm thick nail and replace my hobby rod with that. My fix works but the flat head on a nail would prevent the whole assembly from walking upward during handling. I finished my review anyway:

Just watched your review. Thanks for uploading as I've been looking forward to it. Love this line but with the known defects I'm scared to fiddle around with mine. I do hope they address the issue in any upcoming releases.

I wonder if this method would work for that area?

No. The broken part needs to pivot while also having a hint of flexibility. CA glue has very poor resistance to torsional loads, so not only will it not work, but it'll also leave your parts caked with unsightly CA residue. Best bet would be to back-engineer the part and 3D print something in ABS.

[jenius]

It's fixed though certainly not as strong. I took a #16 wire nail, used wire cutters to trim it at the right length, used a hand drill to remove the existing peg both from the rotating housing and the base, then put a drip of glue in the base and set the cut nail into it with the rotating housing already attached. To ensure the housing could still rotate I kept twisting it during the early stages of the drying. For the moment, everything is fine, but I will be keeping that ball joint disconnected in armor mode going forward (it's the right arm and that makes it easier to pose anyway) and I will also only be reconnecting the ball joint when transformation is complete. I think between those two steps it should be fine.

[Mommar]

The part that broke on yours I never leave connected.  You get more pose-ability options if you disconnect that piece.

One year later on the same event they showed a color models for both Legioss. Not to mention a Ride Armor mode display of Houquet.

Very nice kits @Convectuoso.

[jenius]

I know I'm 10 years late on this, but just in case anyone was contemplating picking up the CM's ride armors, I've created this helpful image so you know which toys were in which boxes:

[derex3592]

Wow!  Very cool..never knew there were actually THAT many releases of those. I only have the Yellow and Bartley regular releases and they were such a fiddly mess, I never picked them up off the shelf a 2nd time!

Looks like NY is putting Sentinel's Yellow/Blow Superior on sale for Y17,300:  https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27893-riobot-vr-041h-blow-superior-yellow.html

Might be rolling the dice with the potential cracked part, but that is quite a discount.

Still frustrated that by the time I got the metallic Yellow it was too late to send away for the special box and parts.

[Convectuoso]

Nice picture @jenius

I love my CM's collection. They made the most complete Mospeada line.

[jenius]

There's a thread on these boards that announced:

Sentinel has announced a new line of plastic models, with the first release the Gurren Lagann.  Poseability and options look great.  Pre-painted chest and face included.

Available for pre-order from the usual suspects.  1st release July 2020.

 

I would point out that, if Sentinel can't figure out a way to make a Tread toy possible, a "Pliobot" sure seems like a great second option to make it happen. OOOH and could a Pliobot Inbit be a thing???

It's plausible having a Tread as toy/kit hybrid. It might even help keep production costs down.  As for Pliobot Inbit, it's gonna be stretch.
