    My good buddies walked me through the HG legal history.

    After I heard the whole story..I say piss on HG. And I looove robotech and battletech.

    I hope this does have a gerwalk...I hope harmony gold sues them..then they go broke in the process, hasbro BUYS harmony gold, and puts out MP robotech shit on tru shelves, at half the price...

    As the BIGGEST middle finger from one corporation to another.

    HG can't sue Hasbro over Jetfire ever again, despite settling over the the SDCC Jetfire, Hasbro still technically won that one.

    Looks like the arms recess into the sides of the legs...

    I'm calling it now. Gerwalk mode is there. Looks like it could be a DAMN FINE gerwalk mode.

    With whirl having an official gerwalk...they had to have done it here...

    THEY JUST HAD TO.

    [EDIT] ^ Yeah, exactly.

    They gave Whirl a official "gerwalk" mode, it'd be weird if they didn't at the very least enginner in the possibility for this figure to have one.

    I still say that is a legal technicality that could be skirted around.

    If hasbro made a valkyrie, STR8 outta robotech...you betcher sweet lil ass they would call the lawyers again.

    Harmony Gold.
    That name…
    If you close your eyes and say it aloud, it's like a low-rent stripper owns a little piece of Japanese anime history.

    they wouldn't even make this without putting a gerwalk mode in there, it has to be there

    Sweet knee-jerk response that has nothing to do with the subject matter.

    It's the fact that a small imperfection aparently TOTALLY RUINS WILL NEVER BUY an otherwise amazing toy.

    I get what he's saying, who wouldn't want to be able to get a nigh-MP quality Skyfire for just £50? Rather than slapping down £200+ for a third party offering that does the job only a bit better? It's a case of so close, but not quite. It wasn't designed for MP, but it comes pretty damn close to MP, at least from what we can see.
    That's where I am. However I'm happy enough, I think, with the alt mode being the toy rather than the toon one (never liked it that much, I care more about having the toon bot mode). Thus! This Jetfire- or more likely, TT's repaint- will be my MP Skyfire. The alt mode's too nice to say no.




    ....of course, pending the figure standing at least MP10 height in bot mode.


    lol, Assblow.


    I get that there's a good reason for them, but it's hard to say they don't spoil the profile a little.


    Nice.


    @blurr-ed- I watch the old show semi-regularly still, mostly for laughs though there are plenty of episodes I still love. Not that I'm blind to improvement, this is very much G1 Skyfire to me. Best of both worlds- better bot mode meets better alt mode. And contrary to an earlier post of yours- IDW is very much G1. It's your own point- it's the characters that make it G1, not the bodies and designs, things we know change every now and then anyway.

    I wonder if some Harmony Gold lawyer is going to consider bring a case with a ' ...but this is different from the last time, your Honour! This one transforms!' argument

    From how my buddies laid it out for me...harmony gold takes the cake for EFFING over fans of their own products.

    Yea....I can see me buying a few of these.

    All you dudes that are on the ele-hater, and guzzlin the haterade...

    I will bet you one, extremely used testicle, that your bitchin lol assessing will buy this at 1st sight..and squeal like a pig to your car..shredding it open before you even put your keys in..

    You know I'm right...

    i think almost every transforming jet ever made has had a gerwalk mode… official or not.

    i like the lugnut one.


    I originally typed "prostitute" then decided against it. Just saying… ;)

    That's not my point, though. Of course he'd look better with solid wings. Hell, I may just sand those down/fill them in myself.

    But saying you can't like it simply because of a small, necesary, feature? That's like complaining they toy has screws.
