no3Ljm Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) What are the odds the toy has cannons in the forearms too? Right arm. By the gold part area. There's 2 barrels. During Fighter mode, that part rest near the top part of the fuselage before the cockpit area. I don't think the left arm has it since the shield is mounted on that arm. Here's a photo of the TomyTec 1/144 Battroid kit from TagHobby. Looks like the barrel can pull out from the arm. Not sure if this is a feature also for the DX version. If only Bandai has this proportion as well for the DX one, this will look awesome. Edited May 23, 2016 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbadon Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I guess Tenjin wasn't kidding when he said they were designing the valks with lots of gimiks in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Noel, that's the cleanest pic I've seen of the Tomy Tec version yet. Nice grab. Seems the chest is a single piece, which is a smart move in my book. I'd been wondering how Bandai and others would deal with that aspect of the design (along with the shield). Tomy's version is hitting all my good buttons EXCEPT for size. The DX and Bandai kit look fine, but the compromises they have to make are all sorts of blegh...

seti88 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 If only the DX could hide those shield hinges somehow..the tomytec shield is proof how much nicer it could be. Unfair comparison of course since the DX is a perfect transformation toy...Oh well win some lose some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my hopes lie in a second non-transforming shield piece like Bandai includes with their SoC releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I only just now noticed that the Tomy Tech kits are prepainted and only need to be assembled. I preordered all of the Delta kits available. Hoping the final product looks as good as the promo pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my hopes lie in a second non-transforming shield piece like Bandai includes with their SoC releases. It would be nice if a shield piece was included, perfect transformation be dammed. If they dont, it certainly opens up a opportunity for 3rd party shields.. I only just now noticed that the Tomy Tech kits are prepainted and only need to be assembled. I preordered all of the Delta kits available. Hoping the final product looks as good as the promo pics. Currently am 50-50 on the tomytec draken, tho partly due to which mode to get. Getting all 3 might be too much since i am also interested in a DX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Mommar, Hopefully we are talking about the same thing. Thanks for highlighting that, I couldn't tell it was there, certainly not prior to seeing the episode. Oh hell, don't I feel like a dope. Looks like they used the arm cannons in episode 6 as well. That's what I get for watching on a phone in my Mom's hospital room. Edited May 23, 2016 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 All this talk abt forearms guns, and in episode 8 it pops up...a DX gimmick i really would like to see! AND WHAT IF, it also pop's up WHILE in fighter mode?? Double barrel guns right behind the cockpit!! Now that would be awesome, although damm loud! Cant wait till the DX gets released!!

I wanna bring up that I thought knight themed mechs with swords would be cool way back when frontier was airing, and it got shouted down as stupid and too much like Gundam.

Xigfrid Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well no big swords for the mechas, but in episode 5 you can see Bogue trying to stab Herman Cross with its sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurance Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I noticed in a couple episodes when this thing is flying in fighter mode, the gold highlights are hidden and then dramatically appear. What's that about? I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be significant somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Battroid looking good! Those legs beef up battroid mode significantly! Looks like there are updates to the shield area as well.

David Hingtgen Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Smaller hinges would help more than painted hinges, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yes, it looks like there are hinges on the top side of the gold band. Tho in fighter mode the guns seem to tuck into the bumps behind the cockpit. So am waiting to see if they can be untucked and popped up in fighter mode.

Duymon Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The Draken looks kinda fat from the side. Maybe they should just release a fighter-only DX that's slimmed down. It's not like Keith or Messer know how to transform anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 All I can say is that QC on this toy will be crucial. With the number of parts shifting about and the smooth fighter mode, assembly tolerances will have to be extremely small. If the factory just phones it in, this'll be a gappy floppy mess.

I wasn't being serious, Just wanted to poke fun at the boring "ace" dogfights between keith and messer and how they never transform OOh, look, my Arch nemesis!! scissors moves, scissors moves... GARRAGAG VAR syndrome GAAGGGARG, more scissors moves....never using gerwalk or battroid...even...once Anyways back on topic... I just hope the production model doesn't look so gappy from the side. If the production-release is gappy like that I'll prolly skip this DX and get a model kit instead Edited June 4, 2016 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were jumping and flying around the asteroids in gerwalk mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
