Part 2: Sky Machine (AKA Jet Falcon)
Either of the names
Sky Machine
or
Jet Falcon
are acceptable and they've been used interchangeably by Bandai over the years to refer to this machine. The Super Minipla packaging uses the name Sky Machine though so for consistency I'll be using that from here on. I won't be focusing on describing the process to build this figure so much as just it's functionality as an individual once built. I've included extensive step by step photos to build each of the 3 machines so hopefully that should do a better job of explaining the building process than I could.
Now like I said in the first post, these Super Minipla are a lot more complex than what customers of the old line have become accustomed to. That means a larger number of parts and a more complex build. However it ALSO means fewer stickers. Because of the line's more collector oriented nature it means that some parts come
pre-painted
from the factory for you! Often Minipla collector's either choose to paint certain parts (or entire kits) or in order to get that little bit of accuracy that was missing they have to. Thankfully with this line Bandai is opting to paint relevant parts that otherwise be very difficult to sticker up, for you. In Sky Machine's case that means you get both halves of the
Jet's bird face
as well as the combined
Live Robo head.
There is a small sticker sheet included to finish detailing up this bad boy, much of which gets applied to the wings and back plate. Sky Machine by far needs more stickers than the other two components but just get yourself some fine tipped tweezers and you'll manage.
On it's own the Sky Machine doesn't do much honestly. The tail fins and wings do move, though that's more a by-product of it's transformation than any thing else. The figure actually does have extending
bird talons
it can stand on too. The grey chunks that become the Live Robo's thighs in combined mode have caps on the end that can be removed, when done you can extend these bird legs out. Though they don't serve a ton of purpose, you have to lean Sky Machine pretty far back to make use of them. However, this piece of the set also includes the parts to make a
Display Base!
This simple single arm base does wonders for displaying any of the 3 Machines but is primarily meant for Sky Machine. It's a simple plug type base with no poseable arm, but each of the 3 machines has a port that fits it. A port that is also the same size as a Tamashii Stage arm, so you have options. Thankfully the Live Robo Base also has peg hole storage on the side to store the extra fists that come with
Land Machine.
