glane21 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I don't really see any difference between these shots and the one displayed at the Yamato booth. I think this explains, though, why it came out of the blue while other toys like the YF-19 FP are still vaporware - they didn't have to engineer and sculpt the prototype, they got it from another company who had already had it ready for about 5 years. But I don't care if they found it in the sewer, I love it and will buy several. Like Mechamaniac, I've been waiting 20+ years for this guy.

Fugly Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 That "yamato" garland, isn't Yamato at all...which BLOWS! In the WF report, you can see that the proportions are way different, there's that ugly gap in the chest, and overall, it's not as nice. If that Atelier Sai Garland WAS the yamato garland, that'd kick ass...but it isn't. I'm sad now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been disappointed and peeved if I got it, and compared it to the proto pics. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugly Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Ha ha ha ha...see, what's funny is that now that these pics were released, yamato is either going to be a): not improve that horrible crotch, thus pissin' off fans, b): Change crotch, delay, or finally c): delay and paint horrible crotch. It's funny because if they DO option c) which they probably will, sadly, they'll be screwed because the fans will be posting the AS pictures next to the actual toy, and saying "Look at this! This isn't right, you bastards! Why didn't you make THIS!!!!" Sigh...I really, really, REALLY hope they go with the AS vers. If this story is true (which I hope it really is), then maybe they'll just say fuggit, and release the AS vers. I know fans, and just plain toy lovers, will be happier...

Fortunately, not all 'fans' are anally retentive and will be happy to just have a toy at all. Megazone 23 came out 20 years ago. The fact that someone is actually doing something with the license is amazing in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugly Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 what's weird is that when MF had a garland on display, they had it in bike mode, but it was pretty obvious that it was going to be transformable. I'm not an anal-retentive fanboy! I just have standards (and I like to bitch... ). The AS one is NOT the Yamato one, look closely at the crotch (...I didn't just say that, did I?) and you should be able to tell the difference. For starters, the Yamato one is pretty damn ugly, compared to the AS...not that I'm opinionated, or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 This is from the WF2004 report from someone that was there. This is the AS booth http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=194003 This is the Yamato booth http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=195081 It's the same sculpt... and it was already stated that AS is sculpting it for Yamato.

For now it's just speculation. And the AS and Yamato prototypes are indeed identical as Exo's post above proves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumdumgai Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Holy crap, it took them how many years to put out a prototype for us to see. I sure hope for the BGC fans that it doesn't go the way of the 1/60 Destroid Monster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 As much as I love transforming bikes, the Motoslave doesn't look that impressive. I wonder if should wait for this one instead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowerV2 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 That's the "Highway Star". But it doesn't transform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It doesn't?! Damn. I've read somewhere around here that there's a better version of the Motoslave on the series. I'm not much into BGC, so I thought this would be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'd like to see it in robot mode, as currently it's a bit... underwhelming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 yeah, I'm hoping that the plastic color shown is not final.. they're so flat and obviously "plastic" looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 yea, while im excited to seeit finally show up in toy form, the moto slave currently looks a bit like something you'd find inside a kinder surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowerV2 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Typhoon MKII. Appeared once to give Priss her new Hardsuit. Never appeared in bike mode. Just in Robo mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 A drawing of the Typhoon II's bike mode appears in the B-Club Special, so it's at least a possibility. I'm guessing if this toy is successful, they'll release Linna and her Motoslave, as the Motoslaves are identical save for color. I'm really holding out hope for some Boomers, though...
