Despite years of watching, the Valkyrie spotter community has only ever caught glimpses of this rare bird, in the form of fuzzy fighter and battroid shots, and a few seconds of disputed video footage. But now, the M7 PLUS varient of the VF-14 stands clearly revealed for all! Gerwalk: Battroid (rear): Surely new, clean replacements of the old fuzz-balls can't be far behind! UNaltered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this IMPORTANT INFORMATION is ENCOURAGED! (Battroid redrawn from the partial sketches in Macross Design Works, with reference to a couple of screen grabs from Spiritia Dreaming. Obviously, there's some interpretation there as well, but most of the details are from Kawamori drawings and/or animation. The Gerwalk is more my own invention, layered onto the basic airframe at least. Since the wings sweep far more sharply than the FZ-109, they have to swing forward as well as retracting the aft root panel to make room for the arms. Details are again mostly adapted from canon images of the early VF-14 or the FZ-109. And yes, I do mean to do the same treatment for the existing battroid front and fighter mode shots, just not right now.) And yes, the usenet homage line means you can post these about on web sites etc. as long as you leave the attribution or if scaled particularly small replace it with an equivalent that is readable. If you want to color them, just add another line to say who done it while leaving mine alone, and that's cool too. - dNN
