SILVER NEO HENSHIN CYBORG [SERIES-1] |
|
|
 |
|
This is the Silver Neo
Henshin Cyborg which is part of Series-1 (total of
2 series with 3 Cyborgs per series). This NHC has the
chrome mechanical innards hence the name Silver Cyborg.
I have both sets
A & B which come with two different weapons and
one protective gear identified
below.

Set-B Weapons |

Set-B comes with the
following attachments: 1)
Electro-Magnetic Blade, 2) Crab Scissors, and 3) Cy-Protector Cy-Breaster.
Each figure has a "mechanical" head which is attached to
the body with a removable vinyl
human head. The photo above shows his
"human-head" in his hand. Most of the limbs are all detachable; elbows,
hands, knees, and ankles. The reason for this is to attach various weapons and
to make it easier to put on various costumes. With the weapons above, you need to
detach the hands and slip on the vinyl weapons which fit snuggly over the forearms.
Another neat feature are the 5mm ports which have carried
on to the Microman line ... its' trademark! There is a battery
compartment which is stored in
the back of the Cyborg. This gives the necessary power to light up (red) the chest
cavity with the push of a button. I guess this gimmick represents the Cyborg's
additional power or strength.
The Silver Neo Henshin
Cyborg was my very first
figure in the Cyborg line and
is definitely not the last! The following NHC figures are the same except for different
color variations. So I'll only identify the various weapons for each figure.

STEALTH NEO HENSHIN
CYBORG [HYPER HOBBY EXCLUSIVE] |
|
|

|
|
This Stealth version of NHC
was offered as a Hyper Hobby mail-away during the latter part of 1998
(Sep-Dec) and retailed at ¥4,500. What makes this figure
different from the rest is his internal machinery and Cyborg head (with Blue
painted eyes) is transparent as well as his outer parts. The joints
are more of an off-white vice Grey as with the rest of the NHC line (minus
the NHC Yellow where it is both Grey & Black). Stealth NHC also comes
with the attachments as shown above.
The box itself has a Gold & Red sticker applied to the
cellophane cover which states that it is a Hyper Hobby limited edition Neo
Henshin Cyborg Series-1 Stealth Version. I don't know how limited it
was as far as numbers are concerned, but I'm glad I finally got my hands on
one. I ordered this figure from Felix Lu of
Fantasia Toyz (as a birthday gift
from my wife) on the 23rd of August.

CY-PROTECTOR
EQUIPMENT |
|

I decided to
include a photo of a Neo Henshin Cyborg with all Cy-Protector equipment.
Each piece of gear was acquired from all NHC figures released in Series-1 &
-2 (Silver, Gold, Yellow, Red & Blue) and color-coded in the photo above.
When Takara released the
Cy-Protector Suits they basically added a colored jumpsuit and painted the
various parts according to the version released (Gold, Silver & Black).
The clear parts look decent but don't compare to the actual Cy-Protector
Suits. The following information was derived from Paul Lorphanpaibul's
website:
-
Neo Cy-Protector Suit
- Developed by Dr. Katagai
which allows Cyborg to operate in "Neo Henshin
Mode". This allows the Cyborg body
to perform at its highest capacity,
maximizing the power output. However, Cyborg can
only operate in this mode for five minutes. If
the atomic engine load-limit is exceeded the Cyborg will explode!
The Silver & Gold Cy-Protector Armor Suits
are production units and have been refined by Katagai Neo Nautilus Lab. The
Silver suit is designed
for land used and Gold for space battle. The operating time limit has been
greatly increased.
-
Cy-Helmet
- Provides Cyborg 3-times
power output but can cause severe Atomic Engine
overload.
-
-
Cy-Breaster
- Allows Cyborg to "Zone Convert"
(access another dimension) and "borrow" shock absorbers from Neo Nautilus
base (where another Dimension Generator is interfaced) and protect Cyborg
body from any attack. Similar to Cy-Helmet,
it draws tremendous amount of energy and can easily overload Cyborg's Atomic
Engine.
-
-
Cy-Buckle
- In order to reduce the overload on Cyborg's Atomic Engine from
Cy-Protector equipment, Dr. Katagai developed a "reverse-discharge" belt to cool down the Cyborg. The belt can also be used
to repel any heat attack.
-
-
Cy-Boots
- Allows super speed (Mach-17)
by means of "Cyber Linear Thrusters". However, as
the speed increases, so does the load on
the Atomic Engine. The
boots
are also equipped with
adjustable Gravity Soles to allow Cyborg to walk at any angle on
the surface.
-
-
Cy-Gloves
- This is the
last piece of armored equipment developed
for the Neo Cy-Protectors Project. The Gloves give
Cyborg 20-times the normal arm strength and come
equipped with cooling fins to reduce the load on
the Atomic Engine.
