    All that space magic must come with some low noise engines and sound proofing lol Macross really could do with something that has the wing shape of an F-18 and some wing tip hardpoints though.
  3. Today

    You know that feeling when you're hoping things are mis-transformed in official pics? 🙂

    Various views and articulation shown.

    Also we now have some pictures of the back side of Ultra Magnus's armored form. The pictures are from TFW2005. You can see some clips that hold his legs in place.

    Well, interestingly Powered Buggy arms and legs appear to transform without Partsforming!

    Lol, they don't look good in either mode but I can live with them. Thanks for everyone using my affiliate link! Super excited to see the original designs also look likely... Hopefully it's not one release every couple years.

    Huh, another difference I didn't notice consciously! Good eye. Looks like they're leaving themselves the option to leave off the rear cockpit extension in future releases if they want to match the official design. Hmm, so what do we think of the feet in fighter mode, gang? They don't stick out too badly IMO.

    I think I came from a time when Xenomorph was a more rarely used term. It was usually Big Chap or soldier alien or dog alien or alien queen. Not saying the term was used here and there, just more sparingly.

    Curious what you’ll be using as the base figure for this custom.

    BTW, I currently happen to be in Virginia Beach, sitting on the sand about 10 miles from Norfolk and wat hing the navy ships and F-18s come and go, so a bit of realism is in my head right now. Speaking of which, one thing Macross dials down considerably is just how LOUD these things are. A gerwalk landing or taking off should send everyone scrambling for shelter! 😁

    Love that Hesher Z’Gok. I remember back when I we were in middle and high school buying similar spikes and putting em on jackets and boots. The sporting goods store had a bunch of em and I think we also “borrowed” some from the school teams

    I’ll wait and see how the reviews on this one are and if they’re good, I’ll probably get these colors

    All fair, mixed messages from me, but I was just trying for something that leaned into the 31's flashy side without melting your eyes. 😉 I get what you mean about the sword shape in the back and emphasizing the dangerous parts of the plane (or, maybe a better way to say it, emphasize that the plane can be dangerous. I'll mess with it and see what I can come up with. Expect a few more racer schemes, though, because they might not be realistic, but they are fun to make. 😉

    I'm absolutely in for one, but I might wait for the green one, I like this design better in green, Tread too.

    Perhaps the removable cockpit can be swapped with a drone compartment. And the vertical stabilizers remind me of the Yammie's VF-11 underwhelming but it's there for mere aesthetics.

    Looking closely to these renders I notice they share some parts with the new desgin. I wonder if they will actually come as toys or Takara only used them as templates to make the modifications over them.
  19. graphic revolt
    Great new developments! Has anyone speculated as to how the landing gears are stowed away or they part swappable? I don't know why the cockpit is detachable and the inclination of it being a focused feature leads me to believe it may improve the overall aesthetic profile in armo soldier? Who knows other than the sleuths that may have some insights to this most anticipated release.

    I was never into G.I. Joe anywhere near as much as Transformers, but I did watch the show, almost on a daily basis in fact, even as background noise, after school. I thought the Joe toys were incredible, but I only owned a handful of figs and the only vehicle I owned was the Dragonfly helicopter. I still have it, but my Wild Bill's rubber band dry rotted a long time ago and he rests in pieces somewhere in my collection. Anyway, I thought a crossover was a cool idea until Hasbro decided to do Megaron as the HISS Tank, a vehicle I dig, and the end result was far from spectacular. Bee was better. Kup's better executed than the others, but IMHO, the greatest hindering factor is making the vehicles become established TF characters instead of tailoring the transformations to suit bespoke characters. I've argued before that not everything related to Transformers needs to be Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, etc. I get why, but I point out how abysmally bad they turn out as a result whereas creating a new character to fit the vehicle and creating a more efficient transformation schema to fit the vehicle-to-robot conversion is the optimal solution. Anyway, while I like the concept of Joe/TF crossovers, the execution thus far has been less than appealing, alas, but my wallet and too-full shelves thank me.

    2 from me. It’s Takara so I’ll need them in hand before committing to buying more.

    I get the feeling that he was a much lower employee, something more like a janitor. He had a conversation with his family on the screen about becoming an apprentice, and I kinda get the feeling that the actual engineer felt bad for him and took him under his wing as more of a favor cause he felt sorry for him
  23. Big s
    The little dude wandering away is an awesome touch
  24. pengbuzz
    True, but as you stated, not as CMO.That makes me wonder if the stage is being set for his stepping down from that position.
  25. vladykins
    Done!
  26. enphily
    yeah. i think EZ or MLV is forward swept version of TLEAD.
  27. Graham
    Interesting, one of the Treads in that pic has forward swept wings.
