Found this over at the allspark here. More pictures at link.

I think it partforms, but at that scale, I still think it's pretty cool.

I just saw this on another board. MUST buy for me, and I don't even collect Joes!! These will look awesome next to my Bubblegum Crisis Motoslaves and Mospeada Ride Armors.

It's going to be available 1/2010. At I'm guessing $15, it's going to be hard to pass up.

At least the transformation looks less complicated than a CM's Ride Armor. I'll pick this one up.

That thing reminds me of Dancouga for some reason...

I see it too. The general silhouette and the color is why. I think the rider and the bike are okay but armor mode is ugly. I think I'll stick with mospeada.

Do I smell a lawsuit on this one? :ph34r:

I don't think so, consider Tatsunoko is now part of Takara which have close tie with Hasbro, I am sure they would happy to lend licenes to them :lol:

Does that mean Macross X TF crossover is possible? Consider Takara got Macross license :ph34r:

For $15, I'll pretend it's the "shadow" version of the Cyclones.

Better pictures just make this thing look uglier. The front guns are very reminiscent of space marine bike twin bolters. From the perspective of a motorcyclist the bike mode of this thing is a train wreck. Maybe it will look better in person/in package.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Love transformers, people who recognize my name on here know I'm obsessed with variable bikes, and loved GIJoe as a kid, so there's no way I'm passing this up.

The pricepoint will probably only be $12-16 too; compare that to what I've spend on my CMs, Megahouse, and Beagle MOSPEADAs...

As for the person who mentioned a lawsuit, somebody mentioned this at Robotech too, and I really think no way. There are virtually no MOSPEADA similarities. The two wheels on the back are actually, I think, the front tire split up like Motoslaves do. In fact, if you spend some time looking at the parts and work out the transformation, I think it is actually VERY VERY similar to the Yamato BGC Moto-slaves, with the same combination of parts-forming and parts-moving.

As for the modes, I disagree with someone's assessment above. I think the bike mode is what actually looks best. It looks very similar to a Confederate Wraith. The armor mode, on the other hand, I think looks terrible and poorly designed, but hopefully will look better in person.

Unless they call these things "Cyclones" and they look like this...:
