I was just about to say Rest-Q, and that is a syringe! Ambulance Robo had cameos in Revenge of Cronos episode 7, 20 and 24 as a doctor when people were injured. In episode 25 he became a regular as part of the Land Commander 5 team. He wore Power suit 4, which allowed him to fly, tripled his strength and allowed superior underwater capabilities. He also made some cameos in Battle Hackers. Although he used a machine gun and a Powersuit in the Revenge of Cronos show.
Well Scaleface,Ambulance Robo did appear in ep 24 of Battlehackers during the first minute where he basically tells both Zen and Patricia Longfellow that Buggy Wolf who gave up his life to save R.Jettan will not live as long as the Anti-Machine Particles still reside in his circuits. That causes her to cry. As for Dinobot Snarl,HOLY SHIT! Thanks man. Guess I can receive this award anytime but after this month since I'm gonna be graduating from Advanced Diploma in Animation. It's a long slog and a painful one at that. As for Diondra,she's from Gadess. GADDESS-SA!!! Yeah,she's pretty sexy. Even in ep. 14,Rom Stol tells her he misses her. This confuses her. XD (Though I prefer Leina Stol and Mia White. ) Hey,I got this from an image of a laserdisc: Looks pretty good without her helmet,eh? Kinda reminds me of those girls from Silent Mobius and Shin Cutey Honey.
For Tough Trailer it really looks like follows the original transformation of the Bandai toy. It's just larger and has more articulation. I wonder if he can still do the hover-truck mode. Also, for those not aware the Tough Trailer toy was remolded from a robot in the Flashman Sentai series. The Sentai version was very Ultra Magnus like with a combining trailer. Bandai painted it blue, gave it a new trailer that was more like Optimus Prime and called it a Machine Robo named Tough Trailer. Then the painted it black, remolded it a bit, took away the trailer and added a pellet gun and named it Pro Truck Racer.
Also,HEY ScaleFace! It's me. The guy from Youtube. Y' know,the guy who's always commenting on your BattleHackers and Machine Robo videos,Muhd Wahid. On a short topic,anyone remember Psycho? The robot who was originally from Space Adventure Cobra? I wonder if any of you guys would like to play with the idea to make robots based off of stuff from anime and manga under the Machine Robo banner? Personally,I start with (This ain't no surprise at this point if you're following me.) Cutey Honey. She's got a lot of machinery to boot thanks to her form Hurricane Honey. And really,another reason...I find it dumb she doesn't have enough action figures or toys based off of her. (That's bullshit imo.) So I found a couple of her vehicles worthy enough to be Machine Robo. Witness the Honey Comet,a silver jet fighter and her personal motorbike which I don't remember the name of this bike. And if we're cool enough,they might even give Honey to do this with her bike,Mospeada Style. Check out 1:10 and pay attention to the kid with the red shirt and his bike. His name is JJ btw. Reason I said this is because Go Nagai stuff tends to get a LOT of Bandai related items. Soul of Chogokin and Super Robot Chogokin,model kits,Chogokin,video endorsements,all that but NO HONEY FIGURES? That's a load of crap I tell ya,considering ppl might pay good money to see her have those. Heck,she might be great pilot to the Power Risers especially Jet and Battle Risers. Though I could be wrong and the licensing might be quite iffy considering,y'know. Licensing is quite an obstacle in all of this. Then again,this is a dream.
I think the CM stands for 'Chronos Machine' because c'mon,he came from the planet Chronos. So he's just being a patriot to his planet.
Appreciate you sharing these pics, Sweeny. Looks like the Machine Robo stuff was not photographed as part of the official coverage.
Well,hope to get that Jet Riser soon at the end of this month. Can't wait for that BH reunion. Anyone with Battlehackers toys,let's post our toys' photos here to bring the whole gang together. Also,Pro TRUCK RACER!! Big BLAZAH CANNON RENZOKU HASHA!!
Somebody looking for Battle Hackers? Not sure if all are officially BH but I always go up them in my collection. If not, just consider them bonus pics.
This is a definite buy for me: Name: Supercar Robo (スーパーカーロボ ) Number: MR-07 Height: 5.2m Weight: 12.8 t Speed: 620 kph Weapon: Ionoid Energy Saber [I think this is important I have a feeling he's intentionally samurai influenced] Transformation: Super Car His GoBots counterpart is Turbo. I would totally buy the original one old school one Notice the leg design above ^ Action toys comparison I noticed that his front and rear windshields are on opposite hips Samurai for reference Imagine Eagle Robo...
No problem, just wish I’d taken more photos! It doesn’t look bad in person - it just seems to look worse in the photo.
I love you now! Starting from now,I will love anyone who has some Battlehacker toys. But I digress and jk. Though I do feel bad considering these things are hard to come by and considering R.Jettan from Fewture's EX Gokin is about the same price as Masterpiece Beast Megatron,I wish I was the guy who bought R.Jettan for 5 bucks: Robot Loves Monster!: [Machine Robo Battle Hackers] It Was Really Cheap. So yeah,Rod Drill,Rom Stol and Blue Jet with Blazer Cannons are still considered to be part of the Battlehackers toyline considering the fact that Rom is stuck in a time warp while Leina is stuck in the 80's of Tokyo. 'insert Regular show joke here' Oh and Triple Jim from what I remember IS IN FACT in ep. 3 of Battlehackers. He's just in the background behind Mach Blaster if you look real hard and Rod Drill and Blue Jet forgotten what was done in Chronos until in ep 29 Blue Jet remembers he has a sword to combat Yazand and prepares for the end of Battlehackers because ep. 2 of Leina Wolf Sword Legend concludes that the BH has won and there's only one final battle on B-1 left which was that dragon dude and his sister which I forgot their names. Yeah,despite having NO subs or understanding whatsoever,I got the link to Battlehackers RIGHT HERE: MEGA Yeah,complete with creditless openings and endings and commercials of it all including the Winner Robos which nobody talked about even though they are like back to basics. Includes a Black Stax too which was never seen in the show. This is like the only Machine Robo series that I watched properly without knowing the language and I know these characters back to back. And this is from a guy who grew up watching Machine Robo Rescue,the show that was significantly better than the Brave series in terms of the dialogue imo because watching J-decker and Da-garn. Yeah,those shows are awesome but damn,the dialogue is dumb and feels amateurish but I'll complain about that in another topic. This is Gobots/MR and we'll stick to that. About Battlehackers,I'll talk more about Battlehackers in full detail when I graduate from Advanced Diploma in Animation at the end of this month and boy,is it gonna be a doozy. You have no clue how much hell I'm in. Back to Turbo/Super Car Robo's re-design. An Ionic energy SA-BEH,eh? Also,samurai influenced considering the fact that Revenge of Chronos has it in spades. And looking at this re-design..it reminds me of....Thunder Megazord!! Finally,something that doesn't make me hate the re-design further since I grew up watching PR and watching the ever-amazing Dairanger,This guy ain't half bad at all: Now I can see what they were going for and it doesn't look that bad. Well,you can judge me if you want.
I think the large shoulder pilons are also taking the normal imobile Pilons and moving them farther to the shoulders, hitting two birds with one stone; freeing the head neck and bulking his upper arms up. The flap covering the wheel is particularly Samurai influenced, as are the hip armors. I have deduced his transformation also. - Hip armor = Front and Rear Windshield - Shoulders = collaspe down, flap folds into legs. - Arms = tuck into legs - Legs = collaspe deeply - Body = 180 degree turn - Chest = folds down - Back = kibble folds over head.
If what you say is true,then this surely is an evolution that Bandai of Japan is going for. Brilliant! Got to 0:05 for the Evolution sound:
Nice collection! I keep meaning to track down an Arjettan - it’s such a lovely classic toy. One of these days I will.
Here's a fun fact of R. Jettan from what I read in the Japanese wikipedia of Battlehackers. Katsushi Murakami designed him to be pink somewhat of an oddity and thought it be weird for a boy's toy to be pink. XD Who is Katsushi Murakami? He is the guy who designed not only Dancouga Nova's original design before Masami Obari designed it the way it is but is also Golion/Voltron's designer/creator. Oh and he's also designed the BioRobo from Bioman/shoulda been MMPR...basically,he designed these guys:
