Convectuoso Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was thinking maybe someone could 3D print the necessary parts for this custom, but then I realized that there's just a lot of differences between each ride armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoebarry Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yeah it’s much more than just the attachments on either side of the front wheel. All versions have slightly different front fairing cowls and headlamps. Especially the VR-038L. It has a lot more curves to the main body and such to give it I guess the feminine look since we only see females riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seto Kaiba Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Here's a random question for those learned in the details of MOSPEADA... Has anyone ever given an explanation of the variant letters chosen for the Legioss armo-fighter? Eta, Iota, and Zeta are pretty odd choices for humanity's first variants of the first transformable fighter. Are they using deliberately out-of-sequence letters for symbolic purposes the way Macross's creators did with the VF-1J and VF-1S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Mospeada Complete Art Works mook but sad to say I'm really not that fluent in Nihongo esp reading big kanjis. I checked GearsOnline.net, and this what it says regarding the Greek letter designation: Eta - designed for squad leaders. Iota - mass produced model. Zeta - high performance variant. That being said, I'm thinking maybe it's the same as Macross out-of-sequence designation letters. Unless, there's an official reason if each letters really have a meaning.

Just an extra little nugget of info I was able to glean from the old Imai box tops: H and I models use JG-97M engines, Z model has JG-99M engines and is optimized for atmospheric combat.

Unless, there's an official reason if each letters really have a meaning. What I was hoping for was someone who knew if it was or wasn't a case of specifically picking those letters as an abbreviation for a relevant term... in the same fashion that the VF-1J in the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross was given the out-of-sequence J designation to denote its country of origin (Japan). I've read most of Complete Art Works and I haven't come across anything like the info I'm looking for in it. I have a number of other publications yet untranslated, but currently lack the time to peruse them all, so I was hoping someone might've already found the answer. Normally, with variant letters, you expect them to progress through the alphabet sequentially unless there's some special reason for an out-of-sequence letter. Zeta, Eta, and Iota are the sixth, seventh, and ninth letters of the Greek alphabet... or seventh, eighth, and tenth if you go old-school and count digamma. An odd starting point for the first transformable fighter's first production variants... hence my suspicion that they might be abbreviations of something like "Leader" (Ηγέτης) and "Trooper" (Ιππέας) for the Eta and Iota types. I'm at a loss as to what Zeta might be... unless it derives from the unit being produced at Jupiter Base (Ζεύς "Zeus" being the Greek equivalent of the Latin "Jupiter").

no3Ljm Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I would assume that there’s no PO date yet for Sentinel Legioss since their target release month is fast approaching. I really don’t mind if they push this next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Sorry, Sentinel doesn't really chat about Mospeada outside of Japan due to the licensing issues. We were mostly just chatting about the toy industry and what's going on. I tried to get some Mospeada details and even what they'd be showing this weekend but it seemed like they have a ton going on so it's all very fluid on their end. Personally, I'd be pretty surprised if the Legioss doesn't go up for PO before the end of August and release before year end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
