K, I guess you're right by "loaded" if you mean the chest piece and exhausts and "very sleek" by the FOUR landing gears that don't retract or aren't removable

The super gobot version had retractable landing gear, and lacks the hidious chest intakes.

color me not impressed

Whose is that?

I want the rest of the Evangelion characters .

Where's Shinji and Misato ?

What about Guyver figures. What about Trigun figures?

Why isn't there a Mazinger revy out yet?

I'd sell my soul for some trigun figures. And did I hear they were doing alien and predator figures somewhere? how bout some SW revoltech?

I was handling my toynami scott the other day and its hand crumbled into dust. I am definitly pondering getting the CM. While its not perfect, no incarnation of the alpha has been so far. Even the old gakken with its incorrect paint scheme, and lack of wrist joints, ect. (yes its and 80's toy, so I easily forgive it for its faults but still, its not as great as people looking through rose colored glasses think it is.

I just want a fairly decent looking legioss/tread set, and I'll be displaying these figures in battroid most of the time anyway, where a good chunk of the things that bother me are not apparant.

I was actually thinking about all those people who had difficulties transforming the CM for example. Alot of people complain that a toy is "impossible to transform" or that it's "fiddly and too flimsy".

I think that different people react differently to different designs. Some claim that the toy itself is crappy but it's really because it just doesn't appeal to their particular "style" or "ability". QC aside, i've seen people have TOTALLY different reactions to the same toy.

I wonder if there's is some sort of correlation that we can show. YAY! Transforming toys as a Psychological method!

Half-arsed musing now finished.

I love disgustingly over designed transforming toys. But then again, I like playing with rubix cubes. I think there are people that just want a toy to stick on a shelf, make it look the way they want it to look, and then there are people that truly take great joy in the mechanical complexity of a transforming toy. I am definitly one of the latter.

WTH! How come I never see those other toys in the shops?! I'd kill for that Invid. And the articulated Ray in similar scale to the CM..........never seen it before.

Alex, those are the old matchbox toys released states side.

When does this thing come out?

I like the CMS. The only complaint I have is that a toy this complicated can be a little frustrating to transform when its in 1/18th scale. Scale it up to 1/10 or gasp! 1/6th scale and we'd have a sure fire winner.

Why won't someone make a 1/6th scale Mospeada bike? Please someone, anyone, hottoys? Your crazy enough to make one, right?

The Megahouse seems to have a little to much of the seat cover revealed when in ride armor mode. Not that I intend to display them showing their rears off anyway, but it's kind of annoying. I'm still waiting on my Megahouse to arrive. Once it does, I plan on doing a review compareing both.

Yeah, although since they went the "we're having a baby" route in Voyager who knows how lame they would be now...

Voyager? What is this show you mention? I don't remember this show. Viewing must have been so traumatic I blocked it out. The last ST series I remember watching was DS9.

I'd side with the Q continuum.

Screw the Federation's socialist utopia! I'm going Romulan.

But the food! Its worst in the universe! Okay, maybe klingon is worse. I'd go with the federation solely based on the fact that their food seems the most edible.

The reactive armor looks about on par with the MG Labor they did. Not great unless your willing to go in and do some painting, but not aweful. I really wish they decided to use some kind of cloth for the arms and legs

Thanks for the advice all. I had visited a few model web sites that offer safety tips, but most still were geared toward people who had garages or a single room they could wholly dedicate to their hobby.

I'll probably be sticking primarily just with acrylic paint. I know some of the more expensive off the shelf spray booth have decent fan and filter set ups, though probably will just make one myself. So, as long as I have a decently ventilated room and or have a booth with a filter system I can safely use an airbrush with acrylic paint? (yes I'd wear a mask as well.) So even with the thinner mixed in, its not the fumes that are dangerous it's just the paint particles? (for acyrlic paint that is where an actual compressor is used not those compressed air cans.)

If only the CMs were scaled up (which could help some of the fiddly transformation and parts-pop problems), had screw covers, and painted in a finish closer to the MHs--there would be no contest for me.

The proportions on the MH are just plain weird on both the rider (freaky neck) and the bike (small tires). I also don't like how dull the toy looks without any markings (I don't need to bring up the decal bs again). And, of course, the purple visor thing still gets me, but I've said that ad nauseam in this thread already. However, the anime-accurate face sculpts are very cool, and it's nice to have the option to display the riders without helmets. I'll probably end up collecting all the MH, simply because I'm a sucker for seeing my heroes faces, and they look to be improving with the Yellow... and because I basically hope to never have to attempt to transform a CMs model again, due to the frustration inherent in the small size.

Hrm... The Megahouse also has the hand guards/shoulder armor situated pretty far forward. To accommodate for this it seems CM’s attached the Handlebars farther back. Eh… I prefer CM’s bike mode, and I prefer Megahouse’s armor mode, and I certainly prefer CM’s engineering choices and overall proportions, but Megahouse is a better size for the price. Oh if only I could throw both into a blender and get the ideal mix. Oh well.

I think I'll collect lines both if I can afford it. The CM is probably about as perfect transformation as a ride armor toy can ever get, so it satisfies me on that level. The does Megahouse looks pretty slick in armor mode, even if its bike mode is funny and it really pushes the limit on how much part forming I’m willing to tolerate in a transforming toy.

I doubt I'll display any of them in bike mode, well if CMS and MH lancer both turn out well that might be the one I get a double of to display in both modes, his bike was always my favorite anyway..

the front shocks stay connected to the arm armor and the main body running along the the pilot's arm, giving him extra strength on the arms, like a powered armor. It looks pretty cool, maybe the MH Ride Armor can be customized to do that also.

I thought that was featured in the original mospeada line art, its just that the animators never bothered adding that detail.

Hello all, I'm new to making plastic models. While I've always wanted to try out an airbrush but I currently live in an apartment. I'm told as long as I build, or buy, a spray booth with a fan and filter set up that can vent all the dangerous fumes outside, that I can safely use an airbrush in my apartment. Is this true?

I need to change my pants. I will marry this toy.

These do look nice. I got my perfect transformation CMS which satisfies me on that level. I'll definitly grab these as display peices. Damn, I now feel the urg to grab every type of ride armor toy out there so I can display them all togeather for the hell of it.

The motoslave's been booted! and it hasn't even been released yet!

Underneath all that crap is a motoslave. I'm certain of it.

what I want to know is the 1/48 gonna be tampo printed up the wazoo?

You're kidding right? Legs that absolutely need solid (and perhaps multiple) joints in the hips, knees and foot, long weapons that can benefit from Revoltech joints.. And they might even include the missiles, which again can be Revoltech jointed.

Not to mention, there are no other Regult toys available on the market right now. I might pick up 5 just to have enough Cannon Fodder to shoot at.

And, with Regults out, the possibility of a Revoltech Glaug rises very high. Now that I want. In spades.

Some destroids would be really nice as well.

Were you there? I dont mean the toy I mean the BS that I had to go through to get one at the Con. It was ridiculous.

Oh! no I wasn't I payed through the nose to get one after market. So yeah, I'm actually going to be a classics completionist, so if this shoots up to an absurd price I'm gonna be hurtin bad.

People were not thrilled with 'Menasor' who was really just Nemesis Rodimus... which is why you can still find it for like retail prices on some online stores... Plus, there's a quasi-Nemesis Prime as part of the Botcon set this year, so the overlap doesn't make any sense.

Ah. I thought he meant the alt hotrod. I was really hoping for a movie skywarp or something.

Confirmed US San Diego 08 Exclusive to be Nemesis Prime Classics.

Man if it is like the fiasco last year for Hot Rod I may pass on this one.

How was hotrod a fiasco?

just read about the delay for Megahouse's might be due to licensing problems.

if that's true, it might explain why MH's is at the Toynami booth in the toy show.

A rumor of a licensing issue, and then it shows up at the toynami booth. I some how doubt its a matter of it being blocked by toynami, it seems more likely to me that toynami might be trying to inport these. Maybe even market them at the same price range they sold their 1/100 VF-1 for, as a cheaper alternative to the MP? Thats my speculation on the whole deal.
