河森正治 MP03 & kiss系列 访谈

摘译原文主要的段落


As you may already know - Shoji Kawamori was the chief designer of MP-03 Starscream. He is also well-known for his mecha designs and anime designs for Macross, Diaclone (which later became Transformers), and also Convoy Hybrid (THS-01 & THS-02).
Macross,Diaclone之父,不喜欢mp3喜欢g1的同志们，到头来还是河森的东东嘛，哈哈。

Shoji Kawamori's Vision
When Takara came to Shoji with the Masterpiece Starscream project they gave him lots of free range in the design. Shoji was adamant from the beginning that he wanted to design a realistic looking jet, and the robot mode would be secondary.
河森一开始设计的出发点就是以飞机形态为先，机器人形态次之。

Shoji was also insistent about Starscream's color. Again, he wanted a real looking jet, which is why he chose the gray. In Shoji's opinion, he feels that Starscream's robot mode contains enough red and blue to recognize him as the character.  It was not asked if an Anime colored version of Starscream would be released in the future.

河森认为机器人形态的红色和蓝色已经足够表达动画里红蜘蛛的形象。

Mold Changes


Takara pretty much gave Shoji the reigns to make changes where he saw fit. The mold changes were made (as you can guess) to make the jet mode more complete. Some of these include (as you know) part of the fuselage on Starscream's arms, shoulders, and hips.

The tail stabilizers were moved from his legs to his hips to create the appearance of a samurai wearing two swords.

监修后腰刀的设计指意就是日本武士刀

Ideas that were dropped.

Shoji originally wanted to make the robot parts completely hidden on the undercarriage of the jet. He was not happy that the forearms and chest were visible during the alt mode. He also was not satisfied with the head. He played around with designs to cover these parts up but then scrapped the idea because it would have sacrificed the robot mode too much.
河森并不满意在飞机形态下显露出机器人的胸部和前臂。红蜘蛛的头部原来还有更酷的设计但会牺牲机器人形态的美感，遂放弃

The purpose of KISS revealed

I don't know if you have been like me and wondering - Why do the KISS toys include sexy young girls? And who is Takara marketing their campaign towards?

The sexy girls from KISS are not meant for girls; and they are not meant for boys; they are meant for the older male collector. Takara recently explained this in the November edition of Hobby Magazine.



Tomy-Takara plans to market Transformers to adults for a while and not to children. We've been witnessing this already as Takara created the Binaltechs, Binaltech Astericks, Masterpieces, and now KISS Players.

Female figurines are popular in Japan among male adults. Tomy-Takara jumped on the bandwagon and included them in their KISS products. A radio show of KISS now airs in Japan.

Takara did not mention how long they will continue this campaign, but hinted that we will see other KISS Transformers released in the near future. Takara revealed that both the KISS and Masterpiece series are doing very well.

Kiss系列的定位是电车男般的欧巴桑们，系列开发将会继续 ，kiss play 的广播剧正在日本放送中。

Highlights:

As you may already know - Shoji Kawamori was the chief designer of MP-03 Starscream. He is also well-known for his mecha designs and anime designs for Macross, Diaclone (which later became Transformers), and also Convoy Hybrid (THS-01 & THS-02).

亮点:



河森正治是MP03 Starscream的主要设计者。他因为参与过Macross,Diaclone（TF前身）的机型设计和动画设计而著称，此外他还从事过THS01和THS02的设计。

Shoji Kawamori's Vision

When Takara came to Shoji with the Masterpiece Starscream project they gave him lots of free range in the design. Shoji was adamant from the beginning that he wanted to design a realistic looking jet, and the robot mode would be secondary.

His visions and adamancy led to a perfect looking F-15 Eagle which included intricate details on the fuselage, nosecone radar, wing flaps, and airbrakes.

Shoji was also insistent about Starscream's color. Again, he wanted a real looking jet, which is why he chose the gray. In Shoji's opinion, he feels that Starscream's robot mode contains enough red and blue to recognize him as the character. It was not asked if an Anime colored version of Starscream would be released in the future.

河森正治的预想：

Takara将MP Starscream的项目交给河森，并给予他足够的自由设计空间。从一开始，河森就坚定不移地想设计一驾高仿真现实的喷气机，而机器人的形态就退到了次要位置。

在他的预想和坚定决心的作用下，一架外形完美的F15 诞生了。许多精密的细节都体现了出来，例如机舱、机头的雷达，飞机的襟翼以及空气闸。

对于Starscream的颜色，河森依旧坚持自己的观点。他再一次强调喷气飞机的真实感，这也是他选择灰色的原因。在河森看来，Starscream的机器人形态已经包含了足够的红蓝色，足以让人认出这个角色。在这次采访中没有涉及将来是否有动画配色的Starscream上市。

原来是这样，我还奇怪为什么河森非要坚持MP03的配色
