Although I grew up watching The Robotech and built a lot of the old Imai/Arii kits, and fully enjoyed the classic look of the anime battroid back in the day... I guess my tastes have just changed a lot since then and now I really prefer the look of battroids that actually look like they can turn into the fighter version. Prefer the movie style hands over TV style, as well.
The Hasegawa battroid works for me. But I'll give these PLAMAX ones a try, too.
