azrael Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 No info yet on the Elint VF-171? I want to see that valk in batroid mode since I'm wondering what happened to the lower fin in batroid mode We already have magazine scans of the VF-171 in battroid mode. No melee weapon on the VF-25 weapon listing, so does this mean that the knife from the manga is not official? Details are still confidential. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Going by Hindu mythology, Varja seems to be a weapon of the gods. Hmm, if that is what they are referring to then it is entirely possible the bugs are the "Varja" and their pilots / handlers are another race that is to be named later...

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) The dark elves! The enemies of the elves from macross 7. The goal is to kidnap virgin women and sacrifice them to the protodevlin in exchange for power and knowledge. I bet ranka is going to be like what mylene was in macross 7. They prick her body to see if her blood and the genes are what make her the chosen one and that allows the dark elves to open up a stargate or an ancient ruin that will allow them conquer the universe.

Graham Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 VF-171 Based of VF-17. Developed as a multipurpose heavy fighter. Most popular current variable manned fighter / bomber in 2059. Macross Frontier's NUNS main VF. VF-171 is highly versatile and easy to pilot. If azrael's translation (above) is correct, I find it interesting that the VF-171 is listed as a multi-purpose heavy fighter/bomber. Makes me wonder if NUNS have a dedicated space/air superiority fighter that we still haven't seen yet. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems a bit heavy for a space superiority fighter or it's the cannon fodder fighter for a Zentreadi fleet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oihan Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 After the series finally airs...any guess as to how long it'll be till there's an OST released? The BGM that's played, during the history recap, gives the whole series a truly epic feel to it imo (espcially the part where 'Macross F' appears on screen). I can't wait to hear the BGM w/o the narrators voice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSTs are usually not released until a few months after a series starts. While ending and opening themes usually appear about a month after they air, OSTs don't come till a few months after the series starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltane70 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'll be hitting up this year's Tokyo International Anime Fair at the end of March. I'm hoping we'll see quite a bit of Macross Frontier stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought if there was a karaoke version floating around out there, that might have meant maybe a 'Don't Be Late' single had been released with a full version, karaoke version, and maybe another tune.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) The middle one with the "F" logo is pretty cool too. What I'd like is a baseball cap with that logo on it. I'm surprised there isn't one with the iconic Hikaru VF1-S with the word "Deculture!" written in large letters (blood-splatter font) which was the phrase that officially signaled the end of Space War I in DYRL when Bodolza got his head blown up by the race of "mini-me" humans. Now normal people wouldn't know what Deculture! means. So when they see the VF1-S you can explain it to them that this is the alien language and it means: "OH poo I'm about to get my brains-in-a-ship blown to pieces by this little robot" in english and then they'd go "Oh I didn't know this.". And then you can say to them "you are so uncultured. Everyone knows that is what the zentradi say when they are about to die. What are you, some dumb, uneducated, robotech fanboy?! Deculture!"
