Yeah, we got some Alphas and Betas a while back, but no Hovertanks? I'm still thinking about pursuing the old Matchbox one, even with its flaws...
I remember CMcorp (now bankrupt) also released the Armoss and Tread a few years ago. Funny that I haven't come across any of the Southern Cross vehicles being released in the Land of the Rising Sun....yet.
The Super Robot Spirit Koenig Monster with the Shryll Nome decal, I don't think it was transformable.
I want to kick my self in the head for not getting the Yamato Koenig Monster
I had forgotten there was a transformable version of the Monster. Was that in Macross II? I don't remember it transforming at all in Robotech or the original Macross series...
I think I remember the CMcorp. Were those the alternative to the Robotech Masterpiece line of Alphas and Betas? If so, I remember being bummed that the tail fins didn't tuck away nicer. Otherwise they looked decent, though I think there was also an issue of the Alpha not integrating into the Beta all that well. (Sorry, my roots are in Robotech with exposure to Maxross and the other original Japanese animations coming much later, hence my use of the Robotech terms...) I liked the Masterpiece line of Alpha and Beta, though the Beta ended up HUGE! I am still bummed they didn't finish the Stealth version with Synchro cannon from the Shadow Chronicles....
And I would flip if there were mention of Southern Cross mecha!
