    Interesting. Yours is rather more green than others I've seen. Lighting issue, or is it really more forest green than military dark green?

    Prob lighting. It's a dark green I'm looking at now.

    Also got a stickered up Bug Bite. Just need a long barreled Defendor. Those stupid hatches make it so hard to find complete.

    The Western long-barreled version is incomplete by default;) . The original Machine Robo ScaleRobo release came with a few sprues of add-on parts such as antennas to make it look more real. But those parts are very tiny and fragile and were left out of the releases outside Japan.

    Van Guard, Slicks, Spoiler, Stallion, and Stinger

    These are fantastic. Well, maybe not Spoiler's sliding arms that will get worn out, but whenever people say Gobots have simple transformations, these guys are among the most unique.

    It’s a transforming model kit that was announced a couple months back but haven’t seen further details on it since.

    If that’s the price and release info in the first image then that’s not bad at all. Hope preorder listings go up soon.

    If Bandai-MegaHouse finally decides to redo machine-robo, even in the form of a kit I am 100% ready

    Here's a random one, just picked up a working one for cheap (though the shooting mechanism is so fragile).
