RavenHawk Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Is anyone familiar with "Armored Gull"? I believe it is a manga (well, Chinese, not Japanese, I think), and possibly there is an OVA in the works, but I really can't find any information on it out there. I came across some images from it while looking for other things, and started searching for what they were from... and that's about it. Lots of gorgeous (in my opinion) artwork out there, some people mentioning having read the books, but nothing else that I can find. I did come across the Twitter of someone who says they are the artist, with some nice artwork and some cool computer animations too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Never heard of 'Armored Gull', but that bike looks cool. Transformation is reminiscent of the Garland, but differs enough in both modes to be its own thing. Hopefully the manga, and potential OVA, will become popular enough to get some toy treatment. I also like transforming bikes, so this would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised. It seems like there are 40+ chapters of this manga/comic released... but I can't find them anywhere, except for a couple download sites with broken links. Can't find any official site, let alone print copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks like there are a handful of chapters here: https://note.mu/weibocomic/n/n22e69371a0d9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinger Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice find. I like the transformation, simply, yet effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just looked at the artist's Twitter- some of those transforming designs are brilliant. Love the red triple-changer that goes from bot to plane to car. I saw the wheels, so when it went to a plane first, I was totally surprised. Awesome. This guy's pretty much a Chinese version of Kawamori. Hopefully, he'll find a career in animation, and we'll get to see these things in action. And toys- there must be toys....
