thts gonna suck if we do man.... i think i may just cry tears

Well in the end it's Toynami's fault. They did such a piss poor job on the first wave of MP that most stores will not stock anything by them. I had to order the 1/100 when I should've been able to find them in TRU or Target; they don't have enough capital to put things out without making a certain profit off of previous releases, see MP Beta.

Just me random wondering. Did someone ever made a toy/figure of the Destroid Monster? Cause that thing is just so effin awesome.

It was released under the Robotech line in the 80's. They couldn't do the Valks so they had to do something. Yammato did a 1/100 Koeing Monster that is a six changer but I don't think that's the same thing.

uh the Koenig Monster only has three modes, shuttle, gerwalk and battroid. gerwalk just happens to be a close relative to the MAC II Monster.and no valks at all isn`t quite true buddy, they DID make a playset VF-1S that couldn`t transform and Revell made modelkits of the valks, the more complex ones could transform.

A transforming Monster? We are all talking about this baby right? Cause that ain't switching modes

THAT one doesn`t but THIS does...in seriousness Spoon, that`s an image of an MAC II Monster, NOT a VB-6 Koenig Monster.

[Spoon]

Didn't knew that, i've only seen Macross stuff nothing of Robotech. Though I must give credit that the VB-6 battleroid mode looks pretty badass.

indeed it does and the VB-6 is from one of the japanese Macross games.here`s a little hypothetical question, what Tf character would you find fitting for the VB-6 if Hasbro was still able to pick and choose valkyries for their TF lines?

[Spoon]

Zing and it all makes sense all the sudden



" Unit type: variable bomber
Manufacturer: Shinnakasu/Northrom Grumman
Empty mass: 101900 kg
Powerplant type: plasma rocket x 4
Armament: railgun x 4, missile launcher x 4, 30mm vulcan anti-aircraft gun x 1
Pilot: Aegis Focker
Mechanical designer: Shoji Kawamori

Bomber/shuttle mode:
Wingspan: 24.42 meters
Overall length: 29.78 meters
Overall height: 6.77 meters
Atmospheric cruising speed at 10000 meters: Mach 1.7+
Maximum atmospheric cruising speed at 30000+ meters: Mach 3.2+ "

According to Mahq

The VB-6 is less then half the weight of the HWR-00-Mk.II which is 285500 kg

here`s a little hypothetical question, what Tf character would you find fitting for the VB-6 if Hasbro was still able to pick and choose valkyries for their TF lines?

You mean which existing G1 transformer would have made a fitting VB-6 or?

That was silly of me, I wonder why I thought six. I should have been clearer when I said Transformable Valks. I have one of the VF-1S that didn't transform but could hold a pilot. The model kits I really don't count as toys since they require work to put together. Weren't they also straight imports of Japanese kits as well?

the Revell kits weren`t straight repackaging though, the manuals and stickersheets WERE altered as were the colorschemes and moldcolors. and Spoon, I meant what TF character would look good as a VB-6 so an existing one.

[Spoon]

Broadside. Screw the carrier mode, give him the VB6 modes instead

Were the model kits snap tight or was real work involved?

[Black Arachnis]

some required actual work, some were snap tight. and not all kits were actually from the Robotech series.

[chuckdawg1999]

Well as of today there are going to be no exclusives from Toynami. That could be both good or bad depending on how you look at it. On the other hand, what they do have, oh boy; chrome and gold Destro, McQuarie Obi Wan and Yoda?? Oh Daddy is happy.

[Air Commander Starscream]

Looks like the Revoltech toy line is finally hitting Macross. Just saw this over at BigBadToyStore.com. The classic Macross TV Hikaru VF-1J, and it even comes with Super components. I might have to get this one...I was so impressed with Convoy and Ultra Magnus....

[chuckdawg1999]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AND LOLLIPOPS! AIR COMMANDER STARSCREAM HAS COME BACK TO THE MACROSS THREAD!!!!! Dude I was wondering when that figure was coming out. This is going to blow Toynami's 1/100 scale figures out of the water. If somebody finds a way to make this transform there goes their 1/100 transformable line as well. 35 joints eh? Something tells me two are the wings going up and down.

I think it`s articulated flaps on the wings...and welcome back ACS!

[Air Commander Starscream]

Thanks Black Archnis and Chuck, It's been awhile since ive been on this thread:sad: . But I am now back and I am going to celebrate with buying the Yamato 1/60th VF-0A Shin with Ghost Booster. I am so torn right now on what I want to spend my money on, I also want to get the 1/48th VF-1J Super Max and the SV-51. But since Max and the SV-51 are jsut now coming out I am going to go with the VF-0A and Ghost. I'm also thinking (later on after the other 2) about getting the YF-19 with Fast Packs and Fold Booster set so I can have 2 of the 19.

(I missed talking like that )

That would be cool. Imagine the poses being able to make the wings vector and all.

Dude I got the Foldbooster set for the YF-19 so I'll take pics of those. By the by I ordered the VF-0S with the ghost booster as well.

I think I might order the VF-0S with Ghost because I have the first edition VF-0S with the CRAPPY arms that flop everywhere. This version has it all fixed...So I might jsut eventually bite the bullet and buy it and keep my oriignal VF-0S in Fighter mode. Right now though I am going for Shin's VF-0A.

Wait do you have the VF-0A already or are going to buy him? I've got him but haven't had time to open him.

I am going to get the VF-0A with Ghost. The only Macross Zero figure I have is the Yamato 1/60th VF-0S Skull Leader (first edition gimp arms). The one I want to get is the one you have unopened, Shinn's VF-0A with QF-2200D-B Ghost Booster.

[the purifyer]

Yay ACS is back!
Sorry to break the chain but.
Graham confirmed that Yamato is bringing out the YF-21 in 2008!!
*dances around the room*
Still waiting for that YF-19A though...

Come on lottery...I need the money...

[Black Arachnis]

the YF-21?YES!now gimme the VF-11 and ohhhh....maybe the VF-22 Sturmvogel?
