So bye bye Penthesilea?

by Mob of Blondes » June 19th, 2014, 2:29 am

So bye bye sane motorbike Penthesilea and hi (to be polite) retarded militar chopper Penthesilea? Or welcome diversity, we keep both? Nah.

Image

Being limited, I guess some kind of Penthesilea with the new Kum bike. First try was "buke" typo. Gladly no "cake" in the middle. :v:

So limited packaging, mashup of parts, or really limited model?

On Facebook they said the limited edition was a mistake. It is supposed to say Pre-Release
In the hexagonal future, there is only war.

Let's hope they keep the other Penny. I like her bike way more than the choppers from the Kum. Her bike is way more in tune with the futuristic hi-tec of ALEPH.
Still, might be nice, for those who like the Kum choppers more, but frankly.. I don't really understand why they release this model while there are still so many unreleased (Tikbalang/Seraph/Uhlan, more Thorakitai/fusillier/ghulam/alguaciles/zhanshi SWC-resculpts)

I think it's supposed to be a Bootleg.

But this means no ninja-shopper for me this Gencon, I may pick it up on regular release.

UCAB. USA, chopper, ass and breasts.

With the new Kum bikes it started to go silly... this is just the next step. I really hope the original stays at least. It has a future motorbike look, with enough touches to believe it can go offroad.

CB is teasing on facebook about "Maybe she's a mercenary option" under the speculation, which would be really hype, but doubtful; pretty sure they were just quoting some fan earlier. I'm down for a Chopper Penny Bootleg; girl's gotta enjoy her downtime.

Okay, together with the info of it being a bootleg, I understand! I thought it would be a playable resculpt (well, if anyone wants to use it as Penny, that's fine with me of course ;) )

It is a Special Edition Bootleg model because GenCon.

Because the new Kum Bike is awesome.

Because Penthesilea is the more succesfull INFINITY single blister ever.

Because we... have already filled the quota of "GenCon BigRobot+sexy chic" for the next 5 years??

So... a few reasons, yeahh...

Daktari will proceed to scratch some backs and even more tender parts to call attention. :3:

Five years wait for Toni Macayana and her Tikbalang!? You know, big robot plus girl in latex with more ass and breasts hanging in her pleasu... combat swing. :aaa:

Also, can you imagine the Macayana cosplay? :dance:

So... a few reasons, yeahh...

Someday you should show stats of "ass and breasts" models split by markets. I want to have some (more) laughs.

Hmmm, GenCon Big Bots and Bewbs for the next five years! Would be a nice name for an event! Didn't know Penny was the most succesful blister in the range, good choice for a bootleg!

Btw, great to hear some tidbits from the big B himself in the speculation thread! :) Welcome!

Haha! Leave it to CB to just go with "because we think it's awesome."

That's why we love you guys. ;)

Forgive my newbness, but does this mean that Penthesilea will no longer be useable in Aleph armies?

No! This version is a bootleg model, which means she won't be sculpted for in-game use. This way CB's sculptors can have some free hand in the design of these models, not sticking to the limitations of the model being used in-game.

If the model uses the same base as ALEPH bike Penny, I think it is okay to use the bootleg version in-game! :) but that's up to you and your opponents.

The Penny unit will still be an ALEPH unit.

You can always use Penny as a counts-as Kum biker, or a Bounty Hunter. In the bright hexagonalness of the near future, how many bootleg LHosts of TV's most popular action heroine will there be?

Hmm, poor cat daktari. Here's to hoping you guys put out a Haqq mini that beats out Penny for the number one slot. Outdo yourselves with the Kum Biker girl. Although the Lloroncitos will go ballistic, eh?

It would be neat to see a top 3 or top 5 list, if you have the time...

Is Toni Macayana getting a model? That's almost too bad - I was really tickled by the idea of a "special character" who was purely a game option, not a model option, because of course, she's really just an elite tikbalang operator who could squeeze more functionality out of any tikbalang, not just her personal toy...

Oh, well. I'm sure it'll be awesome looking.
