    That's the Harmony Gold version... (sorry, couldn't resist.) Google says it's from Macross: The Ride far left, middle row

    Animebooks.com posted a preview scan of the ordnance loading chart for the VF-22 http://www.animebooks.com/mavafrmafivf1.html I copied it to imgur so as to not vampire their bandwidth

    Well from watching M7/Stargazer, when Max fires his VF-22 missiles he fired 40 total, 20 from the dorsal launchers, and 10 from each leg cover (in 5 volleys), he also fires one big missile and pulls out a gunpod. So it must be possible to hold all that at once. In my Mekton conversion, I gave the VF-22S leg bay covers a semi-fixed 10 shot missile pallet* and a 4 space bay for a gunpod or missile(s). With the pictures above, I could give the D model external hardpoints for (typically) anti-warship missiles, and for the B model, remove the 10 shot pallets and call the entire thing hardpoint space (6 spaces each) for various missiles. The bigger wing would allow more pylons for external ordnance (9spcs vice 6 for the S) In M: Plus, the YF-22 fired almost 80 missiles I could count on screen between internal and leg FAST launchers. *can replace it with other pallets with different missiles.

    That 2 seat D model also looks like it's missing the missle/gunpod bays on the underside. The B model looks like it has the normal underside bays plus the bigger wing The E model is missing the 2 tube underside micromissile launchers, but has a second bay for missiles.

    Cool, glad my guess was right. The picture on the left looks like the VF has a mixed load of beam cannon and missile armed FAST packs.
  6. Andras
    They look like 2 boom mini-super D cannon. Anti-warship guns?

    Could someone tell me the details on the extended boosterpods under the wings of the VF in the top right? More fuel for the rockets? (Image borrowed from Vf-22 Masterfile discussion thread)

    I never watched Frontier. Basically I got burned by 7, and once I heard that the story of F involved another race of unstoppable alien monsters that outnumbered our heros and they had to sing for their lives, again, I decided to give it a pass, no matter how pretty the VFs were, that's what youtube is for. I stopped collecting anime in the 90s, but since WoH was mentioned, I love that movie, and describe it as Jules Verne meets The Right Stuff. BGC(not 2040!), SDF:M, DYRL, Plus, WoH are my favorite animes.

    On page 2 in post 54 there's a scan from the VF1 book with the VF1 FAST pack variations. One has the boosters under the wings with extended front ends and no apparent missles. Can anyone tell me what is different about those boosters? More fuel? Thanks

    Does anyone know how many rockets are in the 7 tube hexagonal pods for the VF-0D on the new Arcadia model? The pods are so long it looks like there could be 2 or 3 in each cell.

    Madox01 was an early favorite of mine too. Black Magic M-66 is another of the early batch of excellent anime, it and the 1980's version of Appleseed are on y/t in full.

    I was doing an image search for gunpods and I saw this artwork from issue 22 of the original Chronicle series Macross+Chronicle+22+Pic12.JPG from http://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2009/06/macross-chronicle-22.html I noted it shows a 5 barrel gun assembly in what looks like the VF-11B gunpod structure, which should have 6 barrels right? My understanding is that only the GU-17 has 5 barrels. Does that art have any 'authority' since it was published in a chronicle issue?
  13. Andras
    So can the Regults actually fly in an atmosphere & gravity or are they limited to thruster assisted jumps unless in space?
  14. Andras
    The fold drive disappeared and took a power conduit needed for the main gun. It couldn't be fired unless the SDF transformed.
  15. Andras
    The VF-5000 and VF-14 also need their gunpods fit into the GU series. The VF-14 has a 35mm GP. Is it possible that the VF-5000 uses a GU-11 variant leaving the GU-12 & GU-13 for the VF-11 and VF-14? One being 30mm (VF-11) and the other 35mm (VF-14).
  16. Andras
    Have they ever defined the number of barrels and caliber of the VF-22s GV-17L gunpod? Have the VF-11B/C gunpods ever gotten a GU-xx designation?
  17. Andras
    Does it say what the flip-top packs on the VF19s dorsal/shoulders are? More missiles?
  18. Andras
    I found this with google, it is correct? http://archive.foolz.us/m/thread/7005272/

    Questions on the various Vajra types. You have the little yellow guys, and the bigger red ones with the single large gun on top (Small & Heavy Soldier respectively) Then there's the 4 winged guy that tried to capture Ranka right? Heavy Mobile Soldier? Does the same type appear with a double gun on top of his back? There's the really big 3 gun type here, Super Heavy? Does it have any weapons besides the big triple turret? Is this a queen or Semi-queen? Does she have any weapons? Are there any other types? eta- I removed all the pics at imgur so I killed the links to them

    Was there any explanation for the change in Fold visual effects in Frontier? In Frontier the ships opened up a circular plane they had to travel through, but up to then a Fold event encompassed the ship entirely before it transitioned to Fold Space.

    VFs holding Destroid guns as hand held weapons YTgdx25.jpg Armored VF with gunclusters replacing the chest missile packs FZpxNak.jpg There was another picture of a VF that has a Tomahawk 6 shot missile box mounted on the right forearm, along with the shoulder missiles from a VF Armored and modified leg FAST packs that have rocket thrusters.

    Any details on the L model?
  23. Andras
    Some pictures of an upcoming 1/72 Tornado model were posted to the MW Facebook. Are those missile ports in the leg armor packs? It looks like there are three in each.
  24. Andras
    Ah-ha, I see now. Thanks.
  25. Andras
    The VF-0 can mount the micromissile pods on the dorsal shoulders, the Vf-0D appears to have the same structures used to mount the pods on its own upper surface. Is there any evidence for or against it being able to mount the missile pods there? edit: images removed, question answered
