ikar Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Saturday at the Space Coast Regional contest I bought a 1/160th Destroid Monster. Today I was talking to someone who said that someone else had produced a larger scale, possibly 1/100or a little larger. Has anyone heard of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Bandai or Imai would have produced this beast in 1:100 to keep in line with the other Macross Destroids. MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 AFAIK, the 1/160th kit is the largest injection-moulded version of the Monster. IMAI/ARII kitted it in 1/160th and 1/200th; then there are some die-cast ones in other scales. I believe there is a 1/100th scale Monster, but that one is resin. Lucky find on your part though - I haven't seen a Monster kit in the flesh since I was a kid!! EDIT: Found the following via Google: HWR-00-Mk II Destroid Monster 1/500 Destroid Monster Injection-mold plastic model Macross Pitaban Type 30 Nichimo 1983 (unreleased) Y200 1/200 Destroid Monster Injection-mold plastic model Macross series 8 Imai 1982 November Y700 1/160 Destroid Monster Injection-mold plastic model Macross series 18 Arii 1982 November Y1000 1/240 Destroid Monster Die-cast toy Macross Collection Series No. 5 Takatoku 1983 Yellow Sub resin 1/144th Monster 1/100th METAL Monster!!

ikar Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 What a beast that 1/100th one was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet101 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The 1/100 one isn't actually the monster from the original series, its the koenig monster from the VFX2 game on the PS. Whereas the original monster had four honking great cannons and two arms with three shooty things per arm, the Koenig monster has the cannons, and shooty arms and can also transform into a aircraft, battroid and the standard monster destroid shape.

My_name_1s_MUD Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 You're not exactly correct. There is a 1/100 scale HWR-00 Mk-II Monster that is from the original series. I did one here. The sculptor is Gundamhead and the kit was offered briefly by SMT. GH has the master back, but has not given it to a caster to cast. Alot of this has to do with the 1/72nd that is being made by a group over at Macrossworld.com. It is a huge monster. Here are pics of the 1/100 wcale that I did: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My_name_1s_MUD Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Here is that 1/72nd Monster I was talking about. And for scale that is a full size can of spray paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
