jenius Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think this toy looks amazing in every mode but I would say that those panels under the intake in diver mode would drive me nuts if I couldn't get them symmetrical... fortunately, I'm pretty sure I can. I'd also bet that they create a lot more leg mobility so I'm all for it. That soldier mode cockpit trick is sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the photos you provided, the whole cockpit section does indeed rotate towards the back like othe Legioss do, yes? If so, I was only meant to ask the cockpit since Dewpoint mentioned the seat should rotate. Unless, I got it wrong. 42 minutes ago, DewPoint said: I would think that the seat should rotate for pilot comfort in armo-soldier mode. Seems a bit tight for that.

jenius Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Noel, the pilot is facing forward under the head. On traditional Legioss toys, the nose and cockpit swing up and over and the pilot faces down. On this toy, the cockpit pivots up and tucks under the head so the pilot would be upright and facing forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enphily Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 We have no Legioss toy with rotating pilot seat, we always have pilot faces the ground. Sentinel reimagine that and did rotating cockpit, @F18LEGIOSS mentioned that a year ago On 7/31/2018 at 11:34 AM, F18LEGIOSS said: wing/cockpit transformation breakout : Sentinel did a great job designing the wings' folding mechanism.

Mog Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) The Legioss just looks so different, depending on the angle of the shots taken. The angles from the fighter underside make it look almost stubby: I'll give 'em credit for collapsing the legs and feet, but I'd love to see the fighter underside unobstructed and no camera angle tricks. One last comment on Houquet: I wonder if Sentinel will design the big hunking gun to sit slightly above the handlebars and chest armor/headlights (as CM's and Beagle's version did it). If they use the same peg-hole as Stick's gun used, then they'll probably have the gun handle rotate somehow for the necessary length.

Convectuoso Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I just hope the legioss color scheme is not final. At least the Blue one's was faithful to the anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're unpainted test shots. also I love how the cockpit transformation lets them have a full length nose cone in fighter mode that still doesn't hang a mile past the crotch in soldier mode. now that's clever.

blackconvoy_D01 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) The legioss looks great. High hopes for a Tread to follow. On a side note: Anyone working on non armored/ plainclothes Stick and co figures to use the Riobot heads on?

Darth Mingus Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very excited for the Legioss. The top view of the fighter looks great. I think the reason the pilot looks so large in the cockpit is because the pilot figure is articulated. You can see elbow and knee joints in the pic on the tiny mospeada bike. If they could pull off an articulated pilot figure with a collapsable bike and make it look good in all three modes, this would be the gold standard in transformable fighter toys.

adugifever Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Translated text under the title card of Genesis Breakers: The development of the "Genesis Breakers Mospeada 2083 (provisional)", which will create a new Mospeada world with toys, will start in 2020 with the cooperation of Hideki Suganuma and Shinji Aramaki. Like I said earlier, an OVA tie-in would be great to flesh out the characters and give it a backstory. Aramaki San has worked on a bunch of anime since Mospeada. Since it's 2083, and everyone will be older: can we get a Mint with her own MOSPEADA??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjoebarry Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Since this sounds like a whole series of MOSPEADA stuff Sentinel is going to produce, I wonder if that means they’ll be doing Tread’s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 A new series makes sense. After all there's only 4 featured ride armor in the actual series. They've got to invent new excuses to make and sell toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hey Dobber, basically on all of the older Legioss/Alpha releases they have one thing in common, the Nose of the aircraft is always extremely noticeable from just about every angle. Sentinel redesigned the transformation so the Nose section is much more compact. Picture courteous of AnyMoon you can see that the nose is sticking out / drooping down.

blackconvoy_D01 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 K so I only have DBZ Figuarts. As far as body frame is concerned Piccolo is a fit- he has the height. What other Figuarts figures are the same size? I had to take out the barbell peg from Sticks head. The ball on Piccolo's frame is too small in contrast. But some kind 9f filler could make it work maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Mospeada 2083, very interesting. Im thinking they're going for a Yamaro 2099 style reboot.

Good catch! The TREAD is definitely considered then. Let's hope the sales justify the development. Toynami also made their Alpha with the Beta in mind but their link system was poorly thought out (lot's of challenges for Sentinel to have fun with in a TREAD toy as well). Unlike the VF-1 that had a steady evolution process as a toy, the Legioss has had so little improvement over the years that is exciting to see someone putting so much love and effort in working around the inherent design problems.
