Fade Rathnik Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 BTW......what's up with Ozma and folded vertical fins? He did it in episode 14 now he's doing it again. Looks like the animator put the armor pack onto a VF-25 model set to un-armored posture. Look the tail and the root of the wing are covered by the leg armor. Happened to Ozma in the second Ep on take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shun Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The big gun is its main weapon. It also uses missles. Thanks for the list of Ghosts pics!! so there's a purple colored variant to the V9? and i vaguely remembered reading a magazine article which mentioned that Luca's ghosts are different from the "normal" ghosts from NUNS, but i couldn't really tell the different from the small picture. also noticed that the Galaxy's V9 placed its eye camera back onto the front tip of the ghost just like the Macross Plus' X9 version.

Shun Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) aaah thanks for the pics klam1020! noticed Galaxy's emblem says "Since 2336" ??!?! what's that mean?! Alto's 171EX has more armor and thrusters on those legs and the chest. Still can't tell much differences between Luca's ghosts and the common NUNS version, other than the color differences and the marking on it saying SMS instread of NUNS Edited September 28, 2008 by Shun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Vegeta Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 so there's a purple colored variant to the V9? The top is red, the bottom is dark purple. FV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkenstein Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The Battle Galaxy looks like a different type of ship. The head looks like a damn VF-27 head sensor. Whats up with that? Is it still a New Macross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle 5 Macross 13... Battle 13 Frontier Battle 25... Battle Frontier Galaxy Battle 21... Battle Galaxy Been playing spot the difference between the newer ones (Battle Frontier and Galaxy) versus the older ones. Their waist area seems closer to that of Battle 13 and their legs seem to be bulkier. Also, they're both packing more guns each than 5 and 7. Also, Battle Galaxy's shoulders fold downwards, making them look kinda like those on Battle 13. Edited September 29, 2008 by d3v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 And also they put some articulation on the NMC bridge, since Battle Galaxy head are tracking Canaria when she landed on the gunship. Battle Frontier barrier is very powerful IMO, they took hits from Vajra gunship as it was nothing and survive with some damage to its Macross Cannon gunship when it took full blast from Battle Galaxy Macross Cannon.

Sumdumgai Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We don't know if it was a full power blast from Battle Galaxy. Judging from the power of Frontier's gunship when firing a blast, able to wipe out a massive fleet of vajra drones, I'd say that Battle Galaxy's Macross Cannon was not firing at full blast.

David Hingtgen Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Watch Galaxy's shoulders right before it fires at Frontier/Quarter---very different position than the screen cap before. Presumably they can move/track quite independently of the arms etc. BTW---why is "shoulder gun use" almost never seen, despite being the most prominent guns on every Macross ship after the main gun?

hobbes221 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 BTW---why is "shoulder gun use" is almost never seen, despite being the most prominent guns on every Macross ship after the main gun. Same reason the 25mm wing cannons were almost never used. They are FAR too cool to actually use. (really I have no idea ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchley Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Maybe they just never get around to it. "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to fire those shoulder guns here?" "Yeah."

wolfx Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yup, the gunship of Frontier and the gunpod of Quarter were both destroyed by the same shot. Actually no. Quarter's cannon grazed the macross cannon and they let go of the cannon. Frontier's gunship more or less took a direct hit but was damaged rather than completely destroyed. After landing on Vajra homeplanet (which i would like to now call Planet Frontier for ease) their cannons are still intact and has abit of damaged look to it. Unless of course its a blooper.

Looks to me like Battle Frontier's Gunship was a goner when Battle Galaxy fired. BUT, Macross Quarter's Gunship seems to be intact. Anyways at least we get an excuse for using an NMC-sized 'Falcon Punch" later on against Battle Galaxy. Battle Frontier: You Broke my TOY. NOW I WILL BREAK YOU!!!

At the end when the Quarter settles in the lake, you can see a little bit of damage to the right arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grss1982 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Normal Pack? Notice that it doesn't even have a GUNPOD!!! Ladies & Gentlement I present to you the Macross Quarter Kamikaze Squad. But seriously.....I've mentioned that before either here or on the Episode 25 thread, and I'd like to blame the shortage of Super Pack parts on Alto. IIRC, not only did he managed to loss 2 VF-25F's and a VF-171EX he also managed to loose (by the end of the series) 2 Armored Packs and at least 3 Super Packs. He's lucky that Mr. Bilrer has his billions.
