I dunno, I love Mospeada mecha, but the forward swept wing Legioss with a strap-on radar dish, decked out in Greenbay Packer colors is not making me sing Lonely Soldier Boy.  It's such a weird choice for a first release, but I truly hope this line takes off.

🤣Aww man, I'm not sure if you knew how funny that was!

It will be the second release in the line.

Yellow’s estranged brother will fly that green and gold Legioss, and his name will be . . . . . . LANCER! :hi:

ROFL! :rofl::rofl:

 

I'm a bit ambivalent about this release. This shade of green is not my fav color, and if I'm a bit more uncharitable, I'd say it looks like one of those KO robot toys back in the days that's obviously based on an IP but frankenstein-ed with supposedly cool elements from other IPs. The forward canards are hilariously large..

But I do acknowledge this can be fun and I can get behind what the designers are presumably going for in this line. Might get this as an impulse purchase later on.

I do find it amusing that the front canards are bigger than AND as tall as the tailfins. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah...adding an additional set of tailfins to the front kinda feels like something AI would do.

Its good more and more Mospeada are coming out.

Kinda looks like something Rey would see in a dehydration-induced hallucination during a sandstorm. All it needs is a sword! :lol:

Kidding aside, I get that they want to produce new merch, so they need "new" designs, but I'm really sorry, the design is stupid. The AWACS idea with a radar dish is a good idea, but the wings with the blasters don't fold-away neatly enough in Diver or Soldier mode, so they just hinder movement. The jousting lance looks ridiculously out of place (not to mention horribly balanced!) And those canards... yeah, let's put those in the most awkward location possible to create massive lateral blind spots for the pilot! They could have simply redesigned the LERX to make it different, be useful, stow away neatly in Soldier AND not hinder the pilot's visibility. Also, alot of you who've been around here long enough know I'm not just talking out my a$$, because I have a reputation for back-engineering a lot of those Anime chicken scratchings into functional, physical models. Whoever did this simply wasn't trying.

They were “trying” to make something KEWL.

But it’s not that hard to come up with something a little more logical with the design:  the YF-21 blending UN Spacy and Q-Rau aesthetics and the armored VF-25S having armor that can transform with all three modes easily come to mind.

And look, I get if these things are less expensive and you want something to be easy to mess with.  But yeah, we can still criticize the design choices made.

That would be a pretty cool crossover 🤪

Quoted from @Mog "But yeah, we can still criticize the design choices made."

Oh, we will!😄

This is Macrossworld, after all, and not just a few of know our stuff about aircraft or transforming toys (thereof). Plus, a little nitpickery, such as the good Captain's, is kinda warranted if only to emphasize the level of derp in the design. 

As to "Lancer" there, everyone's toy barometer of tolerance reads differently, so if you like it, get it, be happy, and show us pics of the darned thing! Let our remarks of snark and derision be so much chewed bubblegum under your shoe- scrape us off and rejoice in your silly toy!

Also gotta love this part of the "lore"(?).

Like: you know what is super aerodynamic? A huge a** radar disk. Lol.

The Omega is good re-interpretation of the Iota legioss but this one is just a complete train wreck.

:lol::lol::lol: Seriously! 

FWIW, I solved the "improved maneuverability" issue like 20 years ago by incorporating thruster nozzles (static and dynamic) in key locations so the Legioss would have full nose-authority even at zero airspeed. Peeps gotta try harder.

Takara Tommy Mall Live Shopping: Toys & Goods Mail Order│Takara Tommy Official Mail Order Site "Takara Tommy Mall" They talk about the Toyrise Alpha at 48:18. Be advised, the video lags or just stops quite often.

If the blue and yellow one is a proper product and not a test shot, it appears that the landing gear are too short and the thing rests on its chest. It also appears like the feet can be spread a bit and the heel position altered to look like the OG design.

I wish the wingtip guns and front canards were optional/removable. If they're gonna put hardpoints all over the damn thing, why not make the weird bits optional?
