Well, since the last thread hit the archive >>15027041

I'm impressed, mainly because unlike the Japanese and US ones it actually has functioning legs.

Now they just need to reinforce the arms and tune the balancing system so that it can walk up to a wall, put its weight into one of its arms and punch a hole through it.

This is now a TIE thread.

I meant a newer example of such, but yeah, that works too, I guess.

>>15041969
Well going off of the reactions of the last however many, it'll be the worst thing to happen to the franchise ever, and it'll be dead.

At least that's what the reaction will be.

Probably another manga or novel adaptation.

Also, anybody got the anime chart in image form for the winter season? Fucking anichart doesn't load up for me anymore since months ago and that shit was pretty useful.

Technically, he was completely CGI.

But there was a motion capture actor as well.

>>15041968
There was a puppet, but it wasn't used in the final film.

The CG model was made using a high-quality scan of a suit they made though, which is why it looks so good.

I disagree.
Hell, when I saw ZZ Gundam, I liked it more than the Zeta for bringing back the mouth grilles.

Presumably less stress on the joints than a typical hinge joint
They were designed for amphibious use and were reverse engineered from Zeon's aquatic suits

Leona is more of a /k/ommando but I still gotta mention her because she would probably shitpost endlessly on /m/ about creepy spider mechs being inferior to tanks, and stupid bimbo droids being good for nothing and a public danger.

I feel like now would be a good time to post Cotset.

I'm pretty pleased with how my Hazel is coming along.

I think the one thing that I'm having the most trouble with is that my parts always seem to collect dust or tiny hairs between being painted and being topcoated, resulting in small blemishes being stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with that? I always try to spray the part with air first and keep an eye out for errant hair.

Also, I'm using Vallejo gloss varnish as my topcoat. It's ok, but even when pretty well thinned and at low PSI (like 15) it produces that orange peel texture. It might be the primer causing that and I'm not noticing it until it gets glossy. Like from a distance of 6+ inches away it looks fine, but once you take it under direct light and examine it, it's pretty obvious.

Am I being overly critical? Or is that not normal? Also, does flat coat tend to make the bumpy surface look better? Or does it just make that problem worse?

First for Kyuranger = Sentai Trek

>>15040442
Didn't one of the Metal Heroes try do something like that with each episode taking place on a different planet? IIRC, they eventually dropped the concept because it was too expensive....

>>15040464
I wanna believe, mainly because of the plot synopses from the toy scans. Plus it's the first new series after an anniversary season, so it's time to get experimental.

>>15040118
While I would like another 3DS game the odds of a new nintendo game are more in favor of the Switch.
I love my 3DS so I hope they still release good shit for it.

>>15040132
>the odds of a new nintendo game are more in favor of the Switch.

To the contrary, the odds of Banpresto doing a launch title are rather low.

>tfw just made a post in the last thread and we're already at a new one

slow down guys

What's gonna be in the set?

>>15040233
As of now just an interview with Takanori Hoshino (Van's VA).

More will probably be announced soon.

>>15040096
Great

Now when do we get that RD El Dora V?

That jaunty Irish jig

>>15039940
wtf I love Korea now.
Japan might have lost this race, but I reckon they'll be the first to have moving robots more than 15 meters tall
>tfw the giant robot race turns into the next space race
PLEASE GOD. GET JAPAN AND KOREA INTO A DICKWAVING CONTEST.

>>15039940
When is this going to battle the megabot and kuratas?

>>15039600
Without any doubt, my favourite design. I love volume 1 of the manga. The original Energer Z is also like this. I love that, too

White pilder > red pilder

>>15039600

I remember when you made this exact thread a few weeks ago. Does that count?

Someone needs to kill Atra ASAP

>>15039388
I'm actually looking forwards to a canon OTT. It'll help stir up the franchise.

>>15039260
tell more about it

>>15039260
I downloaded it the other day, was really sleepy though so I only played the first 2 missions.

The concept is cool and I like the robot design, I like that you can use a gun and shoot down aliens and mechaliens. The graphics are also really good and the OST is fine.

My major grip with the mech itself is the fact that it doesn't really feel like a giant robot, it spins and jumps and moves hyper fast like a ninja or something like that, the combat is basically the same as other mobile games like it where you complete stages killing stuff under x time.

If I didn't explain myself, the mech moves like Dante so it feels kinda off to me, of course mechs aren't realistic in the first place and I assume a giant slow robot would bore a lot of people so I get why they do it, I don't hate it but it could've been better

>body is 80% legs
Nope.
