I'd honestly like to see their take on Galdy and see what they can do with him. Devil Satan 6 would make a pretty kick ass Soul of Chogokin not gonna lie. Also,if Fitor's been sold out,that's a good thing too since Action Toys is gonna need to sell more of him on the way. This is too good of a chance to be throwing out that chance to make more of them MRs.
It’s disappointing that no one’s made a figure of Galdy. You’d think at least one of the companies that’s released a Bikanfu would make a Galdy to go with him.
You think they would have made a pretty good villain toy considering he's Rom and Leina's long lost brother as well as the victim of circumstance turned villain out of his own control. I was told by one of my friends on Twitter that 'Yeah! That can work!' I mean Devil Schneider 6 is the Doublas M to Baikanfu's Mazinger Z or the Great General of Darkness to Baikanfu's Great Mazinger. You can't tell me that that wouldn't have been amazing,Bandai but then again,villain toys wouldn't sell well in Japan but we got Black Ox from Tetsujin 28,Kamen Rider villains,Ultraman Kaijus,Transformers' Decepticons,Gundam's various evil villains,Dragonball's Frieza,etc. as prime examples of memorable villains in Japanese pop culture. I mean c'mon,man. Then again,ranting since I guess waiting for Machine Robo news kinda made me feel antsy which I apologize. I'm just anticipating whatever news Bandai throws which I don't always agree with what they did like shutting down the SRC line in favor of smacking in the SOC FA line into the Soul of Chogokin line which I feel it shoulda been its own line and reinvigorate the Super Robot Chogokin line with characters like Dancouga and Baikanfu which they should have rightfully deserved to be in the line. Ah well. 'shrugs'
While we wait,I made a bunch of character profiles of villains in the 80's Machine Robo animes in the style of X-Force's Cable guides in the 90's: Shibumidas - Character Profile practice Ashura - Character Profile Practice Sorikondar - Character Profile Rikimines - Character Profile
Just getting bored at this point so collecting Gobots I had as a kid. Road Ranger. Looking for Vamp and Jeeper Creeper next.
Nice. Still have mine. I always loved how his bed is articulated and incorporated into bot mode. That blew my mind as a kid. He was also my surrogate Optimus Prime until I got Powermaster Prime. I’d love to see an update. Maybe Action Toys will do one in 2030.
Jeeper Creeper is one of the best ones in my opinion. I still have to thank action toys for accidentally making me take a deep dive into Vintage Machine Robo stuff with their lack of life signs.
Like Tank and Cop-Tur, Jeeper Creeper is a bitch or expensive to find complete which sucks. I'm patient though....
I've had like 8 of Jeeper and I've never once had his gun lmao. Windows are also a pain. Still, great toy.
I had to go look up who Jeeper was since I don't know the GoBots names. Then i realized why you are saying that finding a complete one is a pain. I have him and remember how fragile the gun was and the windows. Now I am curious to see if mine survived my childhood or the box they are placed in. I'm going to guess the gun is broken or lost.
Yeah, I'll wait a bit. Also, I noticed his name is Geeper (with a G not J) Creeper so that expands my search a bit. Another random purchase, a WORKING ZOD for $25!!
Gotta love modern technology. Because why? Found a video of some Machine Robo Rescue Variations: Burning Color edition.
Well,there was another anime after Revenge of Cronos which was called Machine Robo Battlehackers. That had 31 episodes. Machine Robo Battle Hackers : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Before Revenge of Cronos which had 47 episodes,there were animated commercials by Studio Pierrot to advertise for the toys including Battle Armor 5 and Land Commander 5: Machine Robo - Battle Armor 5 Animated Full Toy Commercial Then there was the CGI commercials for CG Robo in the 90's: There was even 2003's Machine Robo Rescue which had 52 episodes including a special episode to debut Mugenbine,the only animated media that featured Mugenbine as a whole. Special which featured Mugen Leo: There were also mangas of Machine Robo during 1982 - 1985 before Revenge of Cronos and I think there were a little bit of mangas for Mugenbine but other than that,you wouldn't believe the stuff I find of Robo Machine which placed in different toylines by Bandai and made them into Machine Robo/Gobots for different countries,even going ahead to mixing Godaikin into Gobots/Machine Robo: Machine Robo/Gobots Fandom Page There were 3 episode OVAs feat. Leina Stol and the Wolf Sword but then there was also Leina and Laika: Lightning Trap which was originally gonna have Anise Firm from Borgman (another Ashi Productions' anime) to star with Leina but Ryo's younger self ended up in the OVA to show when Borgman took place in this alternate timeline. I kinda made a little bit of a timeline to somewhat understand what was going on since Hideki Sonoda wrote majority of Machine Robo related media: Machine Robo/Gobots Fandom Page (This may be subject to change if anyone has a better understanding of what these MR medias are)
Thanks. Watching Dragon Ball now. Not sure if I'm going to jump to Z or this after, but knowing what to expect helps a lot!
No prob. Though I'm quite sad considering no one ever knows what other Machine Robo is other than the first glance of it all. Still,any help is commendable. I'll leave the timeline here in case anyone would like to make some suggestions. I've read up on even the Japanese wikipedias of it all and Hideki Sonoda's other works that are loosely based on this. Even Leina and Laika Lightning Trap had a novel which revealed that Laika was Leina's long lost sister and that she was an android which would explain her actions in the OVA. I got this info from the Facebook group I'm an admin of at 'Go-bots & Machine Robo gallery' from some ppl. Like,wow...so much info,so little time. Oh,trivia here. Akira Amachi and Patricia Longfellow in Battlehackers Machine Robo was originally going to be Rom and Leina Stol in a new body but due to toys not doing well on the Battlehackers side of things,they had to scrap that and retcon it in Leina Stol Wolf Sword Legend ep. 2. Though the ratings for Battlehackers were double digit which was good for the TV anime ironically. That means that R.Jettan was gonna be Blue Jet hence his voice,Mach Blaster was gonna be Triple Jim and Drill Crusher was gonna be Rod Drill but in new bodies and new attitudes hence the line from a spoiler I wouldn't say at the end of Revenge of Cronos. It gets confusing more than a toilet seat. >_<
Ok,didn't mean to double post but holy shit,remember that Devil Satan 6 prototype I showed you guys? That was an actual Bandai news thing when Baikanfu's SOC was first released 10 over years ago: Got it from this website: 我得bandai gx-39 machine robo(杀猫) - 模玩坊( 动漫 科幻 现实) - A9VG电玩部落论坛 - Powered by Discuz! (Might wanna translate it with google or DeepL) So the description said 'It is rumored that bandai is going to release the Satanic Six superalloy, the sketches are out, but there has been no further news.' This was back in 2007 so man...crap. 0_o Imagine an SOC Devil Satan 6 or Galdy Stol or even the Power Risers at work.
