    Well, the -21 inherited its high leg placement from its mommy, the Q-Rau. I doubt it was done to stabilize the Gerwalk mode. Really getting the impression that Gerwalk was an afterthought with Bandai.

    The back third of the bellyplates gets somehow folded into battroid backpack assembly. There’s pics where we can see it peeking out in battroid mode. I’ve been “bellyaching” about that design choice for months, as it’s an inelegant choice that adds unnecessary kibble to the Gerwalk mode. If those parts flipped over and snapped into the backpack to reveal ventral thrusters for Gerwalk, I might be okay with the choice. But the proportions for which bellyplate section becomes hip guards and which goes with the backpack are way off.

    Ao started promising enough. But then the story went to hell, characters changed allegiances randomly, plot mysteries were cast aside or turned out to be nothing. And worst of all, they totally screwed up Renton’s character and made no mention AT ALL about Renton and Eureka’s adopted kiddos. Yep, it was definitely that bad.

    That whole back third of the fighter mode and bellyplates seems to be where most of the design choices don’t make much logical sense, right now. I’m guessing the extra space is most likely for the legs and feet (probably since the feet point away from each other?). But without seeing Gerwalk mode, I can’t say whether or not this design choice is an improvement or not. Just very different.

    I just hope they got the original Eureka Seven writers for this, because “Eureka Seven: Ao” was an utter, horrible clusterfrak.

    Don’t get me wrong: the Bandai arms could be made a little beefier/thicc-er. But the question becomes: how bigger can you make them without impacting the look of fighter mode? Oh those fun design compromises!
  7. Mog
    The leg placement also impacts the perception about the arms. The legs are higher up on the Bandai torso and lower on the Yamato. The Yamato arms would look like gorilla arms on the Bandai. And given that this is a Q-Rau derivative, the higher leg placement might be more “correct.”

    ^^Another thing to point out is that the Yamato cockpit splits and a very small portion of it folds over the nose cone. Making the Yamato’s center fuselage/cockpit/nose section even longer than the Bandai’s. I suspect Bandai made the arms smaller, as they’re covered up/boxed in for fighter mode. For the Yamato version, the arms were incorporated as the side of the fighter mode, with no cover on the forearms.

    Something to play on an infinite loop, until Season 2 is released:

    To quote BSG: “All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.” Eugimon’s Omega PantsTM was basically this same idea of having add-on parts to make the 21’s legs stockier for battroid mode.

    The short and oddly-angled bellyplates are something I and a few other folks have been harping about for awhile. Based on the pics we saw of the prototype, that design choice (having the back third of the bellyplates become part of the battroid backpack) could also muck up the look of the Gerwalk mode.

    I don’t have the figures in front of me, but I could have sworn Sentinel’s Stick, Rey, and Yellow were all taller than 16cm. If the Legiosses are around the same “size” as the Ride Armor, that’d be fine. Oh the joys of relying on measurements without extra details (especially when headfins and other greeblies get involved).
  13. Mog
    So at 16cm tall in Armo-Soldier mode, this Legioss will be smaller than even Sentinel’s own Ride Armor figures, right? I can understand them being smaller than Toynami or CM’s offerings. But wow, that’s a huge size difference. So basically, this Legioss will be just a smidge taller than an iPhone Plus? If it was scaled up to be 2 or 3cm taller, I might be convinced to pull the trigger. But not at this current size and current price point.

    Even though I never bought it, I’d have to mention Feral Rex. That impressive combiner really made me take notice of the third party offerings, how they could fill niches that Hasbro/Takara wouldn’t be doing anytime soon.
  15. Mog
    No mention of SOC Golion/Lion Voltron?
  16. Mog
    That's a whole mess of Nightmares! Awesome!
  17. Mog
    Nope. It was short, but told a very good story with great callbacks to a previous fight. And it showed how much more skilled Obi became while in the desert.

    I wonder if

    Just a dude against an army. . . . with only his pet WOLF at his side. . . . and a sword. . . . and an uzi. “I’d say the odds are about even!”

    Kinda funny when reviewers called it

    Just finished the season finale. That was a funny and enjoyable way to end the season.

    As a movie, I can get the annoyance. As a typical arc for the TV series, it wasn’t that horrible. The Skyguy and Artooie crap was dumb, and Rex was relegated to just shouting all his lines (except for his awesome “experience outranks everything” line). But having watched later eps first, I can see signs of what was to become of the series later.
  23. Mog
    This! There’s still a lot of other Star Wars stuff out there to enjoy, both past releases and future projects.
  24. Mog
    Well, if you’re into 80’s style power ballads, there’s a song you can annoy the wifey with.

    I’m surprised none of us mentioned
