Hoplite: Any imagery or design info?

Weird question: The Hoplite?

Does any imagery (original or not) exist of this thing anywhere?

I'd also like to know why it fell out of service for OOC reasons.
 
I know it has a soldier mode just like Valkyrie fighters, but to be honest mentions of its ruggedness always had it adopt a mental picture similar to this in my head. Like, only fighter and intermediate, but the intermediate pushed more toward humanoid form than gerwalk usually does.

The Logan, from Southern Cross? Huh...

In my head it looks a bit like an R-type fighter, then transforms into a ... Well, I don't think it has a head, but it does have arms and legs at least, I think?
 
OOC reasoning, as I understand it: the LAMIA series (power armor) started getting used instead. By the time we really started getting back into fighters, the Hoplite was out-of-date and not worth bringing up to submission standards.
 
It was basically my crappy attempt to make my own version of the YF-21 from Macross Plus.

Most of these old ships and things people are dragging up are gone for a reason. In this case, it was unoriginal and low quality.

There's no reason for the Hoplite to appear in the RP again. Let it stay in the past.
 
That's okay. Doshii was in the Hoplite craze awhile ago. Not that it ever turned up ever being used in the RP much save for transportation either.

Lately, Doshii graduated into making Yukari's personnal ride a Nodachi.
 
Actually, Eistheid's character is also looking at modifying a Hoplite too.

Lots of players still like them.

I wish my computer were working properly and my tablet. Even a basic doodle would improve the page.

People like the site's history because the idea of having obsolete hardware knocking about is interesting.
