    Zentradi and Meltrandi battle suits aren't powered armor in the sense that you're probably thinking. They're armor-shaped, but in principle they're closer to being humanoid battle pods and the pilot's body is located almost entirely (or in some cases entirely) inside the mecha's torso. The only part of the pilot's body that might be at risk that way would be their lower legs, which on some models protrude into the mecha's own upper legs. Presumably there are cases where the cockpit hatch has to be pried open if it's damaged, though since the Zentradi don't really have a concept of "repairing" this would probably be done without regard for trying to reuse the suit later. (Not to mention Zentradi and Meltrandi mobile weapons are generally lightly armored enough that anything that might make escape of the craft impossible would probably have killed the pilot anyway.)

    Chtiose is in a Ramune Bottle ended. I thought it was good. The 2nd part is this year.

    Nope. Humanity used the cloning technology they acquired from the Zentradi to carry out a large-scale Human cloning program designed to bolster the overall Human population, artificially boost the availability of personnel with essential skills and training, and support the provisioning of the early emigrant fleets with military crews and emigrants. A lot of the Humans living across the galaxy in the late 2050s and 2060s are the descendants of the clones produced during that 20 year period. It's not clear if it was commonplace, but several characters who started families in that post-war period ended up having large numbers of children. Max and Milia's seven daughters are the most talked-about example, though Shammy Milliome and her husband supposedly had eleven children after she retired from the military. The population ratios aren't talked about, but Humans are still treated like the default/main species in the New UN Government into the 2060s. Part-Zentradi are common enough that nobody seems to find them at all remarkable and as the number of other Protoculture-created species joining the New UN Government grows we can assume that there'll be more interspecies marriages in the future. (It's already been going on long enough for there to be at least one named character with three-species ancestry: Michael Blanc from Macross Frontier.)

    Aesthetically, it would be ideal but two things against it. 1. Sv-51 is an enemy valk. Colabs will always associate with a main hero valk. Maverick would go with a VF-1 but that is currently banned for sales in the US. 2. M Zero show is not well known which won't drive attention or sales. Macross F was a succuss commercially and would make more sense to use with Top Gun.

    Wing Gundam was robbed

    There could only be one winner - always and forever! Glad to see the majority of Gundam fans have good taste. 🙂

    I need this valks with fluorescence paint on its wings. I really need all the variants😁

    Just now a friend of mine told me, that Kawamori confirmed it on X.

    Considering that in real life, there are cases where medieval knights had to get a blacksmith to remove their armour because the damage that their armour sustained meant it was hard to remove due to said armour being deformed in the process. Did the same thing happen to Zentraedi in power armour when they had to fight in melee?
  13. cheemingwan1234
    Are baseline humans a rare thing in the Macross universe post Space War 1? Given how small is the population of humanity, they would have bred into the Zentraedi genome as time goes on.
  14. cheemingwan1234 started following Bandai 1/60 VF-25 DX MESSIAH VALKYRIE Top Gun: Maverick Ver.
  15. cheemingwan1234
    Given how the SV-51 looks like an F/A-18 more than a VF-25, I think if Acardia would have been in a better state, financially, they would have done it. But alas, Bandai it is. Though the VF-25 looks more like a Flanker than a F/A-18.

    Jared Leto is supposed to play Skeletor right? Maybe it's just me but when I finally heard Skeletor's voice in the trailer, I thought it didn't really sound like Leto.

    I preordered the Legioss Omega last minute on impulse. I hope this isn't fragile and finicky as the Riobot Sentinel Ride Armors were. That really turned me off from collecting any Mospeada toys.
  21. davidwhangchoi
    I will probably get this one. The promo trailer is in English marketed for U.S fans. I'm hoping it will be cheaper domestically than to ship from over seas.
  22. TangledThorns
    Meh, still only interested in watching it on streaming.
  23. Radioguy
    I like the colors too.
  24. derex3592
    I feel like (if true), this was someone's pet project at Bandai who was a huge TG fan and tried to get it done when the movie came out, but due to one issue or another got shelved OR the studios lawyers just now got around to hashing out the details, either way, litttttle late to the party Bandai!
  25. TangledThorns
    Looks great but... where is ORKO?!
  26. danth
    Also, shipping was almost as much as the item itself!
  27. derex3592
    @Papa Rat - Yeh, you could pretty much cover the plane with a quarter and have room left over....😆

    It would be true to form for them to pull out another general release to pair with a Tamashii one, but it's anyone's guess whether they'll go back to something people actually want (and will actually sell), or go for another international shelf warmer. Part of me thinks they are actually trying to purposefully tank the international market so they have an excuse to ditch it and go back to domestic-focused releases. At this point, I would kind of be on board with it too. Being able to order stuff on Amazon is a nice novelty, but it only matters if the stuff available is actually worth buying.
