VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just came back this afternoon from picking up the Shadow Alphas. The sculptor/warehosue guy hinted that Toynami is going to make a big announcement at the upcoming San Diego Comicon on a new Robotech TRANSFORMABLE toy including a prototype to display. I couldn't get anymore information on this... More to follow as soon as I get news... -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt.actionjackson Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yes, almost everyone hated SDSC, it still doesn't mean it wouldn't make a cool toy. Since RT basically got me started on my love of anime way back when, it would be cool to have one just to have a mech from each gen of the series. Besides, did anyone ever find the hard point to connect a supposed beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 i'm hoping beta or cyclones cause everything else sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a Hovertank and an Ajax... but at 1/55 scale they might as well make it come with keychain rings... or they can lie about it just like the Alpha, which were 1/48 scale.

Don't even get me started on that series man!!!!! Nice one, Exo. Personally I think it's going to be cyclones. They can rip off the large Gakken and get 5 versions out of it: Scott, Rand, Lancer, Rook, and Sue Graham. With something to copy they can crank it out "faster" (as nothing is fast with Toynami) than if they had to create a transformable beta from nothing. Face it until they get enough money to pay a sculptor to work out the transformation of a beta it ain't happenin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis! Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would´ve thought it was some kind of GI-Joe-esque Carl Maceck figure that transforms into a giant floating head with the HG logo on its forehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I almost want it to be a Cyclone/Ride Armor, but I am afraid of just how badly Toycrapy could screw that puppy up..... that could be one hell of a shelfwarmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chowser Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I really do hope it's the Beta and Cyclones myself. Multi-color Betas!!! Even more way for Toynami to make $$$ anyways, payment sent for shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentrandude Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I say a cheap copy of the 1/48 valks but all plastic and weak magnets to hold the missiles so a slight disturbance they fall off the wings. that or just more alphas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'd love a cyclone but would they be able to pull if off? I have the IMAI transformable kit and it is super-fragile. And as we've seen in the past, Toynami love to 'borrow' from imai kits for their sculpts. I'm thinking it would have to have a fair amount of die cast in the very thin sections of the bike frame. I'm surprised they never made a cyclone super posable toy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'm surprised they never made a cyclone super posable toy though. that's what i thought too cos i'd love to have posable cyclones to play around with... well, who knows they might just do it....

Apollo Leader Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 If, and I said IF, it is a Macross toy and NOT a Robotech toy, it will be an MPC DYRL VF-1. It is possible that it will have improvements or may be a new VF-1 sculpt from the ground up (this is a mix of conjecture and insider stuff ). Otherwise it's probably the Beta or a Cyclone.

promethuem5 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I wonder if you could combine a super posable 7 inch figure and an Imai Cyclone kit and get a super posbale Ride Armor..... hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would be betting on the New Gen as the chosen toy line as their alpha MPCs have been really successful. As I picked up a Macross mpc for 20 bucks I assume their macross line didn't sell as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 They'll probably rape and pillage the Gakken large cyclones and make them their own Master Piece of Crap like they did with the HCM series on VF-1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) They'll probably rape and pillage the Gakken large cyclones and make them their own Master Piece of Crap like they did with the HCM series on VF-1s. Gakken-inspired Cyclones may not be that bad of an idea though. At least they'd be ripping off a good design. I suspect the height will be in line with the Alphas. Hopefully the durability is OK in any case. Hopefully the rider will be able to actually sit on the bike too. I especially want the Rook and Lancer models. I might be a minority here, but I doubt I'd be that interested in the Beta. I just want the Cyclones now. Edited June 9, 2005 by Anubis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
