A powerful collaboration with

The 1984 anime series "Armored Trooper Votoms" was hugely popular

Army who is the enemy of the main character
Jordi Border and his friends, is now available

the opportunity to produce it in a larger size
until now. This product was jointly developed by
Academy and Wave.

The Armored Trooper Votoms franchise is big in Japan and the Scopedog robots have appeared in a little under 20 video games over the years. The PS2 title Soukou Kihei Votoms was the most recent release which sold reasonably well. The Scopedog has been made into action figures and model kits over the years but Yamato's upcoming remote-control robot may be a first.
The RC Scopedog is set at 1/24 scale and measures 17cm (6.69") tall with sculpting by Kenichi Nomoto. A one-handed infrared controller included with each toy features a miniature thumbstick which is pushed and prodded to send the Scopedog rolling around on the wheels beneath its feet. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2008 at JPY15000 or US$155 from NCS.
Step into the persona of Chirico Cuvie and live the troubled life of a Armored Trooper pilot who's being chased by nefarious forces. Bandai's Soukou Kihei Votoms game follows the basic storyline of the animated series for an interactive recreation of the source material.
At the outset of the game, Chirico is on an infiltration mission where he attacks Gilgamesh Confederation soldiers and eventually clambers into a Scopedog AT. Once inside, the game evolves to a whole other league - the controls are top notch with easy maneuverability and smooth movement for the clunky-looking mech. The secret to the Scopedog's lithe motion is the skate mode which is toggled by pressing the "O" button. Once activated, a little spinning wheel appears on the left part of the menu indicator and any push of the analog pad sends the Dog rolling with perfect responsiveness. The Scopedog can also trudge along on its legs and run like a normal biped but the skating action is preferable.
The PS2 version of Votoms features over 50 Armored Trooper frames and over 50 missions to work through. To keep things simple, there is only one game mode - the Story Mode which is preceded by a short tutorial which teaches general controls and gameplay. «Game-Notes»
