Terracotta (to make up for loss of jsa)- Have good fluff reasons to show up in response to uprising Tunguska (to round nomads to 3) vedic Are the ones im kinda expecting this year Varuna-Rama-Russians are my candidates for final 2 slots, fairness would say Rama and Russia, but Ariadna just got usa so they might go for Rama and Varuna I can see Tunguska and Vedic brought out around same time for a fluff fight between the two. Likely both fighting for political power over the new JSA, Tunguska wanting more members for the Nomad-Ariadna-Haq alliance block and aleph wanting them so it can keep stronger hold on sphere politics. why Haramaki? we tanto now (maybe)
Consisting that Haramaki Zensenbutai have been reimagined as Tanko Zesenbutai I'd say a new sculpt is a given. AVA 3 suggests a box of full AVA + TinBotesque model.
Mushashi: Special Fireteam Core, if taken linked Mushashi is AVA 5 and can link with other sculpts of himself. Collect the whole set!
Presumably he's no longer irregular then, or gets a special profile, or something Because otherwise using his irregular order would bump him out of the link!
Well Aragotos were taken off the store. Haramakis are no long on the list/in store. But yeah, I think we can expect new Aragotos, Oyama, keisotsu box, etc etc....hopefully they wont take as long as the CG swc box
Actually, he is the re-introduction of the Optical Disruption Field, in TinBot form. Grants ODD to every member of the link.
Why though? Imho the current ones simply have a horrible paintjob, mine look awesome (not painted by myself, obviously). great dynamic poses - check Easy arm swaps for more variety - check lean and mean enough to make you believe ARM3 and Hyperdynamics - check I don't want Magisters you can't tell apart from Motesas (also ARM3)
Being that the Keisotsus are being redone and the Haramakis (which are the future Tankos) were removed, I have to think those are somewhere in the future. Either SWC Keisotsus hav to be the month after the JSA box is released then Tanko. Personally I do not think Neko is (since he is in a blister already) but a re-sculpt of him would be nice to match the scale of the new Domaru a little more. And for the Ryukens I think the Raidens could pass off (at least for now). I could be wrong depending on what the Ryuken's profile is.
Do we actually have confirmation that Tanko are the Haramaki, other than the fact they both have the title Zensenbutai? I'd like it to be true, but it seems most are just assuming it's true.
Probably conjecture at this point, but I base it on that Ryuken Unit-9 is the reformed Raiden unit (least what I managed to read from screen shots out of the book from the first video) after heavy losses and the like and the Zensenbutai title. Also the fact Tanko and Haramaki seems to also refers to a type of clothing/armor mix so high chances are that the Tanko are an reformed Haramaki unit.
Anyone come up with any good conversion ideas for Celty....er, I mean, the Kuroshi Rider? >.< That name. Kiyoshi warriors? I'd like to see a Haramaki and sexbot...er, Karakuri resculpt but I'm not holding my breath, seeing as IMO the O-Yoroi is the ugliest TAG in the game after the old Szalamandra and, well, looks like CB disagrees :\ Honestly I'm thinking I'm gonna make my JSA into a space pirate force a la Captain Harlock, maybe with the actual GitS colors. The red and white over-stereotypical Japanese flag color scheme has always struck me as ridiculous lol. Dunno why, if they're sticking with that route, we don't have these guys? All the USAriadna models should look like this -->
So now Yu Jing's one remaining fire team core capable heavy infantry is now shared with a new army that commits atrocities against Yu Jing, only they get to make more efficient cores with it. Fix this, CB.
