they look amazing but I'm guessing out of my price range now if the revotech guys got a hold of the license it would be an easy sell to me

For as colorful as those powered armored suits look on the [four] ladies, the Motoslaves strike me as kinda plain lookin' as far as color pallet even though they transform and feature detailed molds.

That half-blue/half-pink PA suit is a very poor color scheme, IMHO! (Although I do like the extra fins on it.)
Similarly, with very rare exception do I think that pink [specifically] works well on a combat machine. Purple- yes, yellow- yes, orange- yes, sky blue- sure, why not. But not pink. (This, of course, excludes all Super Sentai mecha with such, in case you think I'm being hypocritical.)

Question: I know very little about BBGC in general, but I have a copy of [what I think is] an OVA. In the beginning, the city's police or S.W.A.T. force use collapsible blue helicopters that deployed in pairs from the back of trailer trucks, carry just a pilot, and are armed with a machine gun turret. While they are apparently helpless against the muscled blue biotech robot (and thus the ladies in PA above are called in), they were actually pretty cool lookin'. Any chance that the helicopters will be released as well?

I doubt we'll see any AD Police vehicles. They were basically the fodder to be killed until the girls showed up and destroyed the bad guys. It's cool how much they put into all the ADP designs, they had a ton of well-designed stuff for the ancillary role they served, but I think that's partly due to Aramaki and Sonoda wanting to dream up more stuff.

If this was a toy line like GI Joe or something it would be a no-brainer to make all kinds of stuff. But at $60 a pop the number of releases will be limited to the core group. This is pretty much the extent of the line unless it sells crazy.

The half-pink Hard Suit is on Nene, who is an expert at computers, but totally useless in a fight and really girly-girl. She also has pink hair. It's kind of part of the joke that is Nene.
