roboemo Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 So kinda had topics - Any idea on Mospeada Genesis Breakers, seems to be quiet 2 years after announcement? - Also maybe discussion on how Houqet got her Cyclone (taken from crashsite? Stolen? Maybe initially planned to be Jupiter Base soldier?) Quote

jenius Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 It was supposed to be for a new line of merchandise but COVID must have introduced enough production problems that Sentinel had to reduce the # of new products per year and things that weren't guaranteed winners got cut. They probably put some resources into it though so maybe if things get going really good again it will pop back up. Quote

Stolen? Maybe initially planned to be Jupiter Base soldier?) This has kind of bothered me every time I rewatch the original or even New Gen. I don't lose sleep over it, but it is a little annoyance. She showed up already extremely good with the bike, as though trained on it, but no mention of how. RT complicates it further by having Jupiter Base be the mission arriving AFTER she already has it. I don't recall any of the background info in the concept books covering it, but others probably are more familiar with all of that than I am. 13 minutes ago, jenius said: It was supposed to be for a new line of merchandise but COVID must have introduced enough production problems that Sentinel had to reduce the # of new products per year and things that weren't guaranteed winners got cut. They probably put some resources into it though so maybe if things get going really good again it will pop back up. Sentinel has re-ramped up new products in a big way, but they all seem to be things with mass appeal (i.e. Marvel stuff) or items where the same molds can get reused A LOT. I think we're only seeing Houquet because the base figure is already coming out for another line. Maybe when they get some profits back in, they'll look at things like Genesis Breakers and be willing to invest in the new molds. Quote
jenius Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I thought the Robotech novels or some other source made Rook's father one of the pioneers of the Cyclone mecha with the implication being that she somehow got her armor from him. Jupiter Base and Mars Base sent waves to assault Earth. With Robotech's squishier canon, it's easy to imagine Jupiter Base contributed troops and mecha to one of the early assaults on Earth. Quote

Not that it really matters, since this is RT we're talking about here, and not the original material, but I recently re-read all of the novels and don't recall any mention of that. The novels present Mars Base and Jupiter Base as not being literal bases that sent troops (which is how I always pictured it as a kid), but as the names for the missions. Therein, the final mission was named "Jupiter Base"... which makes no sense. Then again, re-reading those over a fairly short period a couple months ago, maybe I'm misremembering. I think the concept art books for the actual MOSPEADA showed how divisions of Mars joined up with ones from Jupiter's moons, which made more sense, but again, memory is fuzzy. Quote
jenius Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Oh right, I was mixing up Mospeada and Robotech on the "base" stuff. REF is sending troops back rather than them being local in system. I can't find that bit about Rook's father being a Cyclone developer anywhere so I have no idea where I picked that up, probably old forum misinformation that should be disregarded, sorry. Quote

Mog Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Hell, this thread will go bonkers as soon as painted prototype pics get posted to the Internets. But first, Houquet and the Bartley will blow this thread up in late April or early May. Quote

Sadly no uniform color or equipment color though. We did see a Mara Base uniform with green jumpsuit in Wolf episode. Quote

Big s Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 the painting really makes those pieces stand out Quote
sh9000 Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 LEK is cel shading both the Eta and Zeta. Pretty cool. Quote
Big s Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Those look so good painted up that if you’re hand wasn’t there for scale, I would have thought they were larger action figures. Quote
Mommar Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 The rider/bike and Fighter don't match in style. Quote
Big s Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 That’s definitely a cool paint job and well executed effect Quote

Chronocidal Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Gorgeous work as always by LEK, but I must say, the style throws me a bit on the Legioss.. I don't remember Mospeada's animation ever being that detailed. Quote
