[MOC] Robotech/Mospeada Cyclone

[daikoncat]

Hi All,

My first post here, nice to meet everyone. I'm just sharing my recent MOC. Please check out my VR-052F Cyclone Ride-Armor from the Robotech/Mospeada 1980's classic animation. For those who are not familiar with the Cyclone, it was a type of armored motorcycle that a rider was able to transform into a wearable exo-suit for battle. It was one of the iconic vehicles in the Robotech/Mospeada series. It was really fun bringing this design to life in LEGO form!:

This MOC is fully transformable between Armor-Bike and Ride-Armor modes. You can check out the transformation sequence here:

If you really like this MOC, I would appreciate it very much if you help me reach my next goal of 1k supporters on LEGO Ideas. You can find my project page here: Lego Ideas Robotech/Mospeada Cyclone

I am already aware of the licensing hurdles, but it still doesn't hurt for me to try. If you are interested in instructions, I am working on it 

Thanks for taking the time to check out my MOC

I commented on how good this was on MacrossWorld.

But yeah, this is so good, it makes me question my life. Like, why am I not building things this awesome?

It's nice to see that CCBS is still being used in MOCs

Nice build, hopefully it will gather the required support. Moreover I wonder if we will ever see an official set of a Valkyrie.
