![]() Both the Aoshima and the Toynami are a bit off-center within the tray but you’d only notice that if you had the box opened and looked at it dead on. Unfortunately, it seems like super-sizing the boxes make them more prone to tears at the seams. All the standard MPC box attributes are here from the white shipper box with art and production number on top to the opening book and slide out tray. It’s a little humorous to me Toynami kept the book motif going because it’s safe to say that anyone who doesn’t have a collection of antiquated technical catalogs won’t have a book anywhere near this size in their abode (shipper box dimensions are 37x31x17cm). Packaging & Extras: Toynami MPC: (4.5/5), Aoshima (4/5) For whatever reason, the Robotech staff (maybe Paladium made the numbers up for their RPGs and the Robotech crew just rolled with it) went with a length of 9.7 meters in bomber and 13.7 meters in battloid but did not change the Legioss/Alpha dimensions… this makes the Beta absolutely gargantuan in comparison to the official TLEAD. The Legioss, for comparison, is 8.75 meters tall in soldier mode, so less than 2 meters shorter. The official stats of the TLEAD state that it is 8.72 meters long in bomber mode and stands 10.5 meters tall in soldier (though there’s also official art that lists the TLEAD as 12m tall in soldier). It’s not difficult to find line art that makes the TLEAD look huge in comparison to the Legioss and then find something that makes the TLEAD look just a bit bigger. ![]() ![]() Someone back-solved for that acronym at some point saying it stands for “ TRans- EArth Deployment” but… that makes less sense than TLEAD.Ģ) The creators of Mospeada played it pretty fast and loose with the dimensions of the vehicles in the show. 1) The “TREAD” is more accurately named “TLEAD” ( Transport Legioss Escort Armored Dreadnought) but since “TLEAD” defies the English-speaking tongue, Aoshima and I tend to use “TREAD”.
