True! And Hobby JAPAN just released a photo shoot of Bandai's HG Turbo Custom, with some nice weathering.

@lechuck Thanks for posting the Takara/Tomy Actic Gear AT's, they are nicely detailed for 1:48 scale! The gimmick that you can load the missiles in the shoulder launcher is neat since you can choose to make it look like some where fired! Quite amazed how many companies are making V.O.T.O.M. AT's in various scales and qualities....

Ja, I just think there aren't enough out there! 🤣

@Special Sauce To your previous post regarding the DX VF-1D and fitting of the Strike/Super Parts to the VF-1D, I can confirm there isn't any issue with mounting any of the three pack accessories to the VF-1D! Unlike what the AI bot stated wich would be referring to the GBP, wich would cause problems because of the form of the chest plate on the VF-1D. 😉

Yes the V.O.T.O.M H-MR Line is quite good! Unlike some of the older H-MR stuff, I don't think we will see the Fatty until March-April 2026 Since the haven't completed tooling yet. I Think after the Bloodsucker we might see a colour variant like the Brutishdog before we get the FATTY.... But it's turning out to be a great line, with Bandai making some nice AT variants we haven't had as a figure in this scale & with this amount of detail from anyone else. Just hope they keep at it up, unlike the DX VF-1 Macross line which seems almost dead.... 🥲

Wen't back and had a look! And yes it's is mentioned in the version printed 2009 on page 124, Sorry didn't see it at first! Designated as: ATM-09-ST (Command VORCT) (Command Foxtrot Unit) So, Thanks! 😉

I'm sure you'll finale do it in an overview of the series......Someday! 🤗

Hobby Japan, has released new images of the Hi-Metal R B-ATM-03 FATTY... Lots of improvements can be seen including being able to open the belly to place the pilot also the legs have gotten lots of improvement! We previously introduced a prototype of the HI-METAL R Fatty. This time, a prototype close to the final version has arrived. At first glance, compared to the prototype model introduced in the January and February issues of Monthly Hobby Japan, it is clear that divisions have been added to each part, making it a completely different item. Furthermore, the internal mechanism is also tightly packed, making it seem even more advanced than the previous prototype. Since the Fatty is an AT of the Balarant army, it is interesting to see the different modeling approach from the Gilgamesh army's Scope Dog. Side View: It looks like the cockpit hatch on the abdomen can be opened and closed. In addition to the cockpit hatch, there is another section of the abdomen that looks like it can be opened. Also, it is worth noting that the proportions have been changed compared to the previous prototype. Included a picture of the previous version to compare... Nice hight comparison shot! Compared to the separately sold HI-METAL R Scope Dog (space combat version). As per the video settings, it is clear that it is taller and more voluminous than the Scope Dog. Rear view: The orange parts on the calves suggest that it will be in a landing pose. The booster on the back is also divided, giving it the appearance of being able to move around. Apart from the shoulder joint, there are divisions in the torso, suggesting that it may have movable parts. There are also other divisions that suggest movement or gimmicks. You can see the markings on the flank. In fact, the color of the markings has changed from the prototype model introduced last time. When the legs are moved, you can see the joint parts for the landing pose where it looks like it will land backwards. Also, when you look at the hip joint, you can see that it has a pendulum-like movable mechanism. Seems to be the internal structure!? The 3D drawing data used to create the HI-METAL R Fatty has arrived. The internal mechanisms can be seen through the transparent exterior. Not only the torso, which is where the mechanisms are most likely to be found, but each part is also expected to have a variety of gimmicks and a wide range of movement. Honestly looking a lot better than the previous prototype! 👍🏻

Great One @treatment! 👍🏻 Wonder though why Bandai didn't mold these in a blue colour then!? And thanks for reminding me of mahq.net! Yes great resource, Thanks! 👍🏻 This looks funny 🤪
-
I have both the Masterfile books from Softbank Creative but none of these are pictured in the books! They show older variations like ATM-07 /-08 and show different weapons and sidearms used but not these variations, maybe in the next book....🤗
-
Thanks @Big s & @treatment! I think when P-Bandai post these variations, we'll know what's what, But not even sure if these will be expansion packs or a complete new AT unit you can buy, Guess we'll have to wait and see like usual from Bandai 🤪 Now just waiting for the Bloodsucker AT, Has this unit been done in figure format from any company before or just in model form from Playmax?
-
Eh? Left side where the upper torso has a different shape... the sniper variation is on my right but maybe your left!? 😉 But still some nice variations, but was more wondering for HM-R variants and what's still doable, Funny though that the Bloodsucker AT is being done as a figure before being done as a model by Bandai. Since these are two different devisions inside Bandai Spririts I wander if they cooperate or can just do their own thing? Since Sunrise is now owned by Bandai they may as well milk it for what its worth! Find it amazing though that the series wich was considered a flop is actually still really strong after 40 years and how many companies have produced V.O.T.O.M. AT's in various scales for this series! And we still get too see new variants which we don't recognize...

New Bandai HG Scopedogs shown at the Hobby Show in Japan! What kind of AT is the left one? Looks really interesting!

Updated review from @jenius "Yamato & Arcadia 1/60 VF-1 Toys" Now if we could only get him to update the most important ones...🤗

Well when you regurgitate the third version of the same model, with only slight differences you can expect customers not too bite! Like I said previously had this been a VF-1A Cannon Fodder we wouldn't have this conversation since it would have flown of the shelf even if it was one of the most generic Valkerie's! Never understood why they used this particular unit to celebrate Macross since 1982... Just hope the lack of sales for this particular unit, is not holding up Bandai for continuing to make further versions!

Youtube video from the weathered version that was shown at the Tamashii-nations store in Osaka. They do look good with weathering as well! 🤗
-
Reinforcement unit arrived today! Quite nice in dark green, seems that the scope turret is actually a lighter silver colour! Now looking forward too the Bloodsucker unit July-August.... Then hope they release a Brutishdog before years end! 🤗
-
Well not exactly bought the High Metal-R Scopedog ATM-09-ST (AT) from Mandarake at 25,000 yen, Which is a Tamashii Nation Exlusive and would have cost 25,300 yen from them since tax is always a given from P-Bandai, will be delivered Monday - Purchased yesterday...
-
So my retailer sent out my Round Mover this morning and DHL already confirmed a Monday delivery that's really fast! guess it helps to have rockets on the backpack! 🤣 Really looking forward to this version! and then the Bloodsucker in July which is only three month away... The line is definitely growing on me! And really liking what Bandai has done so far. Not much to complain about either! maybe the price a little... But at least they don't fall apart on the slightest touch. A great line, to say the least! hope Bandai keeps them coming. 🤗
-
Yep!
-
and a Tamaschii post on Twitter we get! Following on from the "HI-METAL R Scopedog (Space Combat Version)" which will soon be delivered to all pre-order holders, we are also currently working hard on the development of "HI-METAL R Fatty" which we have already announced will be commercialized! Please stay tuned for further updates.

Looks like a VF-1J that met a Scopedog and had kids....🤪
