Only place I've seen it here in the US is on eBay. I'd love to get a copy of the limited edition of the game. It comes with an art book, which I'd love to get my hands on.

It's funny, I was actually just thinking the same thing. They could do it with little, if any, new molding. I have an extra Proto-Garland (Yamato was nice enough to send me a new one to replace my broken one). Maybe I'll spend some time trying to fix it up, and then paint it blue. Does anyone have any pics of the blue Garland from this game? The game website has some pics of it on there, if you go to the "machanical" section, but it doesn't let you right-click on them to save them. Nice seeing you again, Lonely Soldier Boy. Should've known you'd be replying to a motorcycle mecha thread like me, lol.

Are you talking about how Robotech II: The Sentinels was meant to be all new material, and then Robotech III: The Odyssey was to be new material showing Scott et al. searching for Rick Hunter and grew, while using Orguss footage to show what is going on on Earth while Scott is gone?

I personally think it's worth it, but a lot of people dislike it. A lot. The first part of Part 3 takes place a long time after parts 1 & 2. The second part of Part 3 takes place an even LONGER time later. There two stories are essentially unrelated to Part 1 & 2, with brand new characters, but I still think they're entertaining, though very different. They do expain a lot of the mysteries from Part 1 & 2 though, such as the true origin of Eve, etc.
-
I don't remember too well, but I think I read that it is supposed to take place between Part 2 and Part 3. So, it is descendants of characters from Part 2, and ancestors of characters from Part 3.

But still, seriously, what do these guys do for 40 hours a week? There is nothing going on that justifies full-time employees, tobe honest, except for customer service, which still takes a week to reply to customer questions, and often ignores them completely.

There are a lot of clips from it on youtube. The bue Garland looks awesome. The in-game mini-movies look nice. The gameplay itself look boring and absolutely TERRIBLE.

Semen... blood... just not mixed!

Maybe I am being naive, but I really do wonder what they do at Robotech. I mean, the website now is talking about a convention that two people are going to be at, and how everyone should come there. To do what? To be told what? Honestly, considering that all Robotech seems to be doing these days is licensing old material, or putting their name on Toynami, Beagle, and Megahouse products, what do they do? What does Tommy Yune do for 40 hours a week? I'm asking very seriously. Steve Yune is in charge of the website? Other than arguments I see him having with people on the forum and banning people fairly arbitrarily, what does he do? The website has no PMs, has no capabilities that pretty much any other forum on the net has, hasn't had any real changes in years. So, what does he do for 40 hours a week? Again, I'm not trying to be snarky, just don't get what these people do over the course of a week to justify whatever salaries it may be that they draw?

So they're trying to sell us based on our love of this pic?

Not sure what you mean. None of them are scratchbuild, and all of them are variable. Just different companies. The Hargan isn't a moto-slave. It's a mecha from Megazone 23, coming in non-variable versions and variable ones. Is that what you're talking about, or are you talking about something else? Organic? Never heard of it. Atellier Sai is the only company I know that makes a Hargan, part of their line of Megazone 23 figures which are all in robot mode, no transformation.

That's fine. I was just trying to put it in perspective, as opposed to something like the Robotech RPGs, which were probably 90% fan art.

Batch 11: Art, RPG: RPG 3: 3 of 3 That's it. That's all I've got, other than some Hard Suit lineart and other stuff that I don't think is too relevant.

Now, on to the RPG art. It's worth stating here that, while some of the really rough or amateurish art here is likely done by the RPG company, MOST of the art was actually done by Artmic, for pre-production lineart. So, most of what you're about to see is actually real stuff, designed for the show, even if it didn't make it into the final series (such as additional Hard Suits, Moto-Slaves, and my two personal favorites, the AD Police Moto-Slave, and the large Moto-Slave that looks like a combination between a BGC Moto-Slave and a Megazone 23 Garland). So, without further ado: Batch 6: Art, RPG: RPG 1: 1 of 2

Ok, all ready to upload. This is all either stuff that I think you might find interesting, or stuff that I really wish they'd make toys of. Some of it is from other spots in this thread, some of it is from other sources. They're going to be in batches. Batch 1: Toys: 1 of 3

You're not the first person to mention that, but, somehow, I've had no concern with mine with thin joints or anything of that nature. Plus, I've had such good experiences with Yamato's customer service (on my Megazone 23 Garlands), that I guess I kind of know there's always that as a fallback (I know, I know, better not to NEED a fallback in the first place...). I guess my definition of fun during transformation may be different than most. People complain about the Beagle MOSPEADA taking 45 minutes to an hour to transform. First of all, it usually takes me about 5-10, and second of all, I actuall think it's fun. Not so the CMs, which I get no enjoyment out of at all. If parts don't line up right, are EXTREMELY fidgety, or I'm constantly worried about breaking them, then I have no fun transforming it. My metallic Priss, which is admittedly the only Motoslave I own and may just be a lucky example, doesn't give me any of those concerns.

Agree with some of what you say, though mine does seem to align better than it sounds like yours does (don't think there were any changes between the metallic, which I have, and the non-metallic other than coating, but I don't know for sure... maybe leads to some tighter fits). I'm not a fan of parts-formers either, but I have to tell you, I really like this one a lot. Compared to my other similar-sized ride-armors (I have three CMs MOSPEADA toys, same scale as this), I love this one. It holds poses, I transform it regularly, as opposed to just finding one pose that vaguely works and leaving it there, and, inspite of being a parts-former, this one is actually FUN to transform. I noticed when transforming it last night, when you're about 3/4 of the way through the transformation, while the read wheel is still down (before being folded back and locked into place), it looks A LOT like the Chromia from the new Transformers movie.
