    This just showed up. I LOVE IT!!! It's nice and heavy. The brown looks pretty darn good in person. Looks green doesn't it?

    I don't collect whole ranges/lines/etc like all the Delta Valks, HMR's, or the Vermilion squadron for instance. I don't have a drive to be a completest (thank goodness!). But, the things I do like, I go whole hog on.

    As a motorcycle guy I would prefer my (imaginary) Ride Armor to have a internal combustion engine/electric hybrid. Gotta have those sweet, sweet motorcycle noises! Preferably something that sounds like a Desmo V4 ala Ducati Panigale or a flat plane inline 4 ala Yamaha R1. Excluding 2 strokes (which no one runs any more) those are the two most glorious sounds in motorcycling IMO. Now that I think about it a 2 stroke would probably be a more viable Ride Armor motor. Light, compact, simple and very powerful.

    BOOM!!!! I left @Rogueload 's in the shipper so he can do the honors. Hopefully I have enough time tonight to unbox all three and get them set up!!!

    No room for it, and I'm not even an amateur, let alone a pro! HMR's will do.

    Is that even 1/60 though? The VF-1 in Battroid is the same size as a Zentraedi correct? So a VF-1 should fit in a Regult correct? I have yet to see a toy line that is "in scale". At lest from my perspective......which could be wrong. Even that huge on in those pics seems a bit small.

    If it has a internal combustion portion to the drive system it doesn't matter what the fuel is, it will sound like an engine (car, motorcycle, etc). What you're hearing are the explosions. If it was a internal combustion/electric hybrid it would still sound like an internal combustion engine. Electric motors are nearly silent. For the show they chose to represent them as being partially if not completely internal combustion. And they picked literally the last motor sound (and by extension motor) you would use in that application. I don't imagine most people would be as bothered by it as me. I lived motorcycles for almost 20yrs. In "reality" I find it unlikely that if the technology existed to create a Ride Armor it would have an internal combustion motor at all. Too heavy, too bulky, etc. So my rant is a moot point anyway. They probably shouldn't make any noise. But they chose to have it make noise........and used the worst noise you could.

    I just know WAY too much about motorcycles. It's like knowing a lot about guns and actual shooting tactics then watching something with absolutely horrible gun handling, etc. You can't un-see it. Or in my case with the Harley sounds, un-hear it. From a motor cycle guy perspective the Ride Armor's should be electric or a electric/combustion hybrid. And if it was a hybrid one of those HORRIBLE Harley motors would not be anywhere on the list of the Ride Armor designers. If they are hybrids it would be a very compact/light unit. Something like a 500cc inline 2 or 3 cylinder or better yet a narrow V of some sort. Between the small combustion motor and electric motor it could still be very fast. In reality something like a Ride Armor wouldn't work without some sort of energy density breakthrough well beyond what current technology has in it's tool chest.

    I tried sitting down and watching the RT version a few months back because after working elevindy billion hours a week in front of the computer reading subs is not at the top of my list. I just want to goon out. I think I made it 3 episodes before I couldn't handle it anymore. Hearing the voice actors and music from the RT SDFM was distracting and it was just a little too maybe dumb'd down feeling? Plus, Harley motorcycle sounds out of the Ride Armors was just too much! I have too much motorcycle history to let that slide. I'll have to give the original a try sometime. I think it's on Amazon Prime right now. Or it was.

    I'm doing a "Focker Army" Battriod display that was motivated by the below "Hikaru Army" picture below. I went to the Scorched Earth site and went through every single variation of Focker that could be in Battriod and made a shopping list based off of that. I have most of them now. Still looking for two more rare ones. You can go through there and find all the variations that have Fighter mode and do the same thing. Fair warning, if you're trying to be a completest you are going to end up with a bunch of them. My guess is 15-20. I'm going to have a Arcadia 1/60 and HMR Focker w/ S&S parts for sale shortly.

    Right! It's a no brainer!

    IMO, no. Not at all.

    This machine is braking down! I've been living off 2-3hrs sleep for over a week now. I think my IQ is down to about 11 right now. I'm not a huge fan of this guy. But a buddy showed me this clip the other day and now I can't stop saying "I'm the Machine"! Fun fact. The movie Van Wilder (I've never seen it) was based on this guy.
