Mospeada Homage?

Hi guys, I wanna show you somethere here... to the mecha fans here, I'm pretty sure you've heard of the anime "Genesis Climber Mospeada" (or ROBOTECH The Next Generation) where the mecha are basically motorcycles that transform to robot-armor-suits-of-death...
You can see some of that @ MAHQ.
Well, the geniuses at Hasbro for some reason decided to make G.I.JOE sets that are very similar to the ride armors. Don't know if these are actual homages, but given that they're released on a sort-of limited basis, many collectors sought this set. So yeah, here are some pics of the Cycle Armour for your enjoyment and for the full gallery, please see the link below.

Nice figure/model.
Thanks! Good thing I didn't have to pay the ridiculous eBay prices for this one...
Just hoping that they don't be sued by Harmony Gold!
Well, Hasbro is a much, much larger company than Harmony Gold so I doubt they'll even react to this...
I see... Still, I wish Harmony Gold will simply go bankrupt!
now they should include Lonely Soldier Boy for the background music as well!
now that's a first for Joe's, haha!
