Review: Look mom, I caught a unicorn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOTES:
1) The \u201cTREAD\u201d is more accurately named \u201cTLEAD\u201d (Transport Legioss Escort Armored Dreadnought) but since \u201cTLEAD\u201d defies the English-speaking tongue, I tend to use \u201cTREAD\u201d. Someone back-solved for that acronym at some point saying it stands for \u201cTRans-EArth Deployment\u201d but\u2026 that makes less sense than TLEAD.
2) The creators of Mospeada played it fast and loose with the dimensions of the vehicles in the show. 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. The Legioss, for comparison, is 8.75 meters tall in soldier mode, so less than 2 meters shorter. It\u2019s 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. Likely because much of the art depicts the TLEAD being much larger than the Legioss, the Robotech staff (perhaps 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 high in battloid but did not change the Legioss\/Alpha dimensions\u2026 this makes the Beta absolutely gargantuan in comparison to the official TLEAD. It appears Gakken of Singapore used the original officially published dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
