    Is the rider cast separately? I've been looking at that model and considering magnetizing her to the bike and giving her the old Riot Grrrl Spitfire arm instead of the sword. I'm thinking i'd use the long haired Odalisque for the dismounted rider since they look similar enough if I paint them the same. What did you use?

    Every biker I've had so far is cast separately to the bike, this includes both Pennies. The bikes are often re-used so I imagine you end up with fewer molds and simplifying packaging/inventory by re-using the bike.

    If you guys don't have this box contain all the weapon options... I can't even describe how dumb that decision would be. Words don't exist in any language to convey to you how important it is for you to start putting multiple weapon options in kits. If you really want to reduce SKU bloat, multiple options in one box is really the only way to go. I'd buy 3 or 4 of these if they had options....

    I love it, I think it fits Tunguska's cyberpunk aesthetic very well and gives promise for other Tunguska releases to feel the same. Which for what it's worth I feel Tunguska is not really traditional cyberpunk from the "punk" side, but more from the megacorp side, with the professional looking ties and suits and coats and sunglasses etc

    I could see how people don't like its looks for vanilla though, as it doesn't fit as well with Corregidor or Bakunin themes IMO, as much as the existing Rems have come to feel

    Exactly, upon first seeing Tunguska I immediately got the feel like, in the Shadowrun world, these guys are Mr. Johnson and the corporate goon squad.

    'Yea, I love the bike and I love the robot. But the bike has wheels. Where are the wheels on the robot?'

    'Oh... uhhh... let's just stick them on the back. That way we don't have to redesign anything.'

    I like the S2 mini and the motorcycle.

    I *really* dislike the transformed motorcycle.

    Yea man! Exactly, I affectionately GMed Shadowrun for many years and that is a huge part of the reason I enjoy playing Tunguska now :D

    I love everything about the Zondnautica, although a trike or a quad would have been even bettre IMHO.

    I agree. Hopefully the actual sculpt looks a bit better than the artwork on this one... But then does it really have to? I think as the only unit of its type in the faction the model will sell regardless.

    It could sprout spider-like legs from beneath the chassis, Junti Ito style.

    Humanoid from implies S2, as others said, though technically the two Guard units are probably hunching all the time or are tiny people, as S4 is much lower than S2. Maybe the Zond-bike is crawling around as well.

    What in god's name have you brought upon this accursed land?

    But to make my post meaningful, I dont really mind the current sketches and design within. Seems overengineered which is a plus for me, and S values often go out the window with sculpts anyway.

    *80's VHS title slide and upbeat music*
    *cheerful synthesized voice*

    Here at Praxis labs we strongly believe in equality and helping all beings reach their full potential. In a recent act of charity, we provided this poor immobile sea creature with the ambulatory prowess of the Lunokhod chassis. Now it can fulfill its predatory dreams while providing to the social energy by consuming troublesome tribbles and the occasional delectable morlock.

    As we say here at Praxis: There is no god but progress.

    To be honest, I don't like the transformed dossier.
    As other have said, the wheel on back does not really seem "correct".
    Front wheel could split in half and become legs, while the tail of the bike could become the arms.
    Back wheel would naturally go on the back of the robot.
    Anyway, not a big problem

    Looks like it took inspiration from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA! (Or the 3rd season of Robotech depending on your preference.). I like it.
