Already have it! It is the end all & be all of Mospeada artbook!
Unfortunately, no new art is available. But the reimagined Battler MOSPEADA pic at the front & back cover of this artbook by Shinji Aramaki is the BEST as compared to mediocre Super Cyclone by Tommy Yune in RTSC. ![]() ![]()

Of course, the Imai Files as compiled by Roger Harkavy is a must haves for every Mospeada & RT: New Gen fans worth his / her salt! Containing the lost pre-production mechas available from GC: Mospeada & SDC: Southern Cross, you can bet these files are the best you can get your grubby hands for if you're a completist!
Head on to: Roger Harkavy's Imai Files |

One more thing, the re-imagined MOSPEADA (aka Cyclone series) from the front & back cover by Shinji Aramaki is a homage & special dedication to a dedicated Japanese Mospeada fan who is modifying his bike (with updated illustration) into a replica of neo-Mospeada designs.

I have a Southern Cross artbook. I have Artmic Design Works, but it doesn't have large reference pictures of the Mospeada characters which I need for my drawing. There are some online but I haven't been able to find much, a lot of screenshots and tiny pictures. Pictures of the characters by another artist, a good artist, is fine with me. I'll take it.

JUST SAW THIS BOOK LAST NIGHT. REALLY LIKED IT. STARTS OF WITH IMAGES AND SOME TOY COLLECTION, THEN THE FAN MADE MOTORCYCLE AND RIGHT AFTER GOES INTO THE MECHANICS. FOR THE PRICE, HARD TO PASS UP. WELL BALANCED BOOK. ALSO THERE IS NOT MUCH OF THE JAPANESE COMMENTARY.

The package just got here from Amazon! There's a Marmalade Boy novel (I might go ahead and decipher the first chapter) and the newest Tenchi Muyou GXP novel (#6). I can't read them very well yet but at least I have them for reading.
Except for 24 color pages in the back, this book is full of pictures of linart about 3 inches wide. At the begining (end) there's an interview, then pictures of the album covers and some small screenshots from Love Live Alive. The first 2 parts make up a little over half of it and has characters and locations. There's an episode file, with designs from each episode, and a character file, designs of the characters which begins with that cool picture of Houquet and Mint by Mercy Rabbit. Besides many pictures of the main characters, there's designs for the incidental characters in many of the episodes and locations in the towns they went to. There's even the bird and the dancers from the New York episode. The linart is tiny, but if you have other artbooks you're used to this by now. There's the mines, the fireworks launchers, the jeep, the knives, the sleeping bags, one of the dinosaurs, and the animals in the woods. The next part is mecha... I just realized this book reads left to right, even though the table of contents is in the "back". So I guess I should say the middle section is mecha. The chapter starts with another picture by Mercy Rabbit of a Legioss with it's back against a building, using it for cover, with Rey and Houquet in their Mospeadas below it. This section takes up most of the rest of the book and has a good amount of detail on the variable fighters and the ships. I can only see one page with some prototype pictures. The rest is the usual Legioss, Mospeada, ships, and Inbit picture complete with details about the transformations and the cockpits. There's a size comparison for the ships, the fighters, and the Inbit. It would be nice if there were more details about the interiors of those ships, but they do show some interior locations. There's pictures of the helmet, the ride armor, and the guns. At the begining of the book is a color section. There's a page with screenshots of the opening. Then some color pictures of the Mospeada, the Legioss, and the Horizont. There's a couple of pages with color pictures of the characters. There are many pages of Mospeada toys. I don't understand the need for this section. I wish they'd included more art like the ones at the begining of the chapters instead and put it in the color section. It would increase the attractiveness of this book a lot for people not just here for the technical stats. At the end of this section is screenshots of the eyecatch and ending. Overall, I'm satisfied with this book despite it's technicalness and the IMO useless toy section. A lot of it is new to me either because it is new or because I only have Artmic Design Works and not Animedia Mospeada Color Graffiti. I hope they exhaust the old designs soon so they can make one that focuses on newer art of the characters and mecha. It would be a good book if the awesome cover of Mospeada Complete Art Works and the pictures by Mercy Rabbit are any indication of what modern artists of Mospeada can do.
