Mog Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Hoo boy! Looks like I’m gonna have to get some red spray paint! It looks like the crotch rotates forward. But can’t figure out what’s going on with the chest and cockpit. The head area looks different between bomber and soldier mode. Maybe the whole assembly flips forward? Wanna see more pics of this puppy from various angles. EDIT: And in combined mode. Edited February 6, 2022 by Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Damn you Sentinel, damn I might have to buy a Legioss now that a Tread is coming. Notice how the Boom that connects the Legioss & Tread together is retracted inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I could be wrong as I am with many things but does it look like this part will slide/retract in & out? @sixtybucksAs for the chest/cockpit section, where Toynami failed CM's actually figured it out for their Tread/Beta. Willing to bet that Sentinel has a unique transformation sequence for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hmmm do I need a tread for all three legioss or do I just need one for the Ita. Choices so many choices. I guess if the tread is a crappy toy, I'll get just one. But if it's great then.....all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixtybucks Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Maybe the head/collar/chest plate are one unit that moves up (chest plate hinges out) and does a 180 and the big cockpit slides forward. Head ends up looking back and the chest plate goes to the back. I want to see more! I want to see it combined and with the landing gear out.

Mog Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I've been staring at that pic, wracking my brain on how that head and sternum transform. I'm thinking the cockpit flips up and into the back, and maybe the head and neck collar twist 180 degrees. But I can't figure where the chest/sternum cover is. Plus, you gotta factor how the back missile rack factors into all this. Would really love to see a clearer shot of the back to figure things out. I do hope there's enough room to add the shoulder missiles too. And I wonder if there's enough room in that cockpit to shove a pilot in there. So, late Fall 2022 release date? Or going into 2023? For those that were here back in the day, should I change my avatar until this gets released? For old times sake? 😅 Edited February 6, 2022 by Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesonme78 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Am i correct to say that the pilot should be able to fit in both fighters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levzloi Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I could be wrong here, but that looks pretty close to the Toynami scale, which makes this an absolute beast. Edited February 6, 2022 by levzloi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thanks for those pics @enphily So the wings have hardpoints for weapons and you can see the upper missile bays like on the CM's type. As I am looking more & more at the chest & cockpit, look like you push the head down and possible it's a simple rotation mechanism. Now how that pilot will fit in there is another question for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I honestly don't care if a pilot can go into it but I'll bet it will since Sentinel has been really embracing the challenges. The head thing is curious, if that's the head, the plate around it must rotate around at some point since the soldier mode doesn't have the notch in front of the head.

Perxion Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Awesome figure!! how much will it cost? I have my doubts about how the cabin gets inside. It will be 'perfect transformation' or it will be extracted. Perhaps the original mechanism was modified as in the case of the Legioss? Attached image* What do you think? does it fit in there? And a couple of other things: where is the undercarriage? I think that assembly mechanism with Legioss is telescopic. Makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Is it just me, or does it look like the bomber prototype is missing the back missile rack? From what I remember with the Toynami, the back landing gear aren’t in the front “crotch” piece; they’re in the back booster that becomes the soldier mode butt. Traditionally, the front landing gear is on the connecting boom. But @Perxion’s head and chest transformation is what I was suspecting too. It’s just that notch in the neck collar is throwing me off. I’ll probably be like Angier in The Prestige and obsess over this (and discover it’s a real simple and obvious solution). They’ve definitely shrunk the gaps in bomber mode, compared to the Toynami. Again, the compact design of the Legioss is paying off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yeah, it's missing the bomb rack in bomber mode... Must have only had one of that part for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from the end of the world, literal end of the world, take a look my city on the attached map. and there if Robotech arrived in the 80's (further south than Scott landed (Stick)😉) I think that it is rather a generational issue and not one of location.

Mog Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 RT’s from a copied and poorly translated language! 😜 In all seriousness, Mospeada is one of the few animes where some of the characters are from South America. Back to the Tread, I hope I’m able to squeeze that combined fighter into a Detolf. Gonna be tricky with the figures I already have in that shelf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
