I was looking at the above picture today when it suddenly struck me what a stupid battle design this was. I mean it looks awesome and it's Aptom so it's cool but he can't lift his arms up! If he does he will impale his shoulders on his own spikes. Even if they are angled forward at the best he'll still be rubbing against them. I don't see any point in having retractable spikes and to be honest the point of having spikes there is rather odd anyway. Not many attacks come in from between the shoulder and the head!

Has anyone else noticed anything similarly silly in guyver?

guyots eyebrows.

Valid point Oberon, but it would be more of a figure issue than the manga. Aptom should have more flexibility with his form than we can see. After all, he is a shape shifter.

and im sure in the twelve part series there was a zoanoid that looked like a chicken, havent watched it in a while though so maybe i dreamed it lol.

Somlum looks like a chicken and he definitely exists.

yeah thats the one lol bloody poultry based zoanoid was always gonna be a lost number lol

They made him look more intimidating in the anime, but he was still a chicken with a lizard tail and crazy spiral eyes.

cool,an for weird eyes check jinmen from devilman lol , andd that the scout type zoanoid chameleon, looks like a skinny busuzema from bloody roar 3.

It might be a figure issue so that you can't post your battle form Aptom figure, but the way it's drawn, at least in the picture Oberon has given us, it really does look like he'd have trouble. Thinking about anatomy, you could raise your arms, but you'd want to have pretty wide shoulders, so maybe that's how he gets around it, by not being able to rub his arms against his ears.
