    It would have definitely made a better story to see what they are doing.

    I think they just ran out of resources to keep things going when their final plan of crushing Granada failed. As far as resistance, it’s entirely possible they’re waiting for Zeon to civil war themselves out of existence. They also seem to be pushing some kind of influence with the not titans.

    Sweet, I knew I picked up two of the vintage normal Ties for a reason! Glad to see them releasing something without the toy features this time.

    I just wonder what the Earth federation has been doing all this time. Did they give up completely. Is there no resistance left. It is not that Zeon itself is all that stable. They focus on the useless clan battles which lead to nothing in the end. I swear a monkey with a typewriter could have written a better show. I have been so disappointed in Gundam lately. 1st Thunderbolt then Gundam Seed Freedom and Witch from Mercury. The this garbage. I makes Gundam X which I hated look so much better.

    RIP to the og Bird Person. On a related note Harris Yulin passed away too. I was kinda surprised he was still alive... https://deadline.com/2025/06/harris-yulin-dead-1236431177/

    Yeah, Destroids make more sense in the "defending against other ground units" role, but since Plus combat has gone more towards the "lightning VF raids", I do wish we'd have seen more destroids in Delta since they're noted to be cheaper to produce than VFs and Brisingr Cluster isn't giving off "super rich" vibes. Then again, while watching the Aerial knights fly face first into a crossfire set up by a bunch of Super Defenders and Cheyenne IIs and get deleted would have been amusing, it would have made for a short show if the enemies ran out in episode 3. ;D

    Now I’m wondering since it seems like they’re doing everything Tekkaman Blade and adjacent, maybe they’ll even do characters from the oddball sequel ova
  16. Papa Rat
    Hahahaha. I’m excited to have one ripped forearm from sanding.
  17. Big s
    Can’t wait to see the final product. Lots of work, actually you could probably skip the gym since all that sanding is gonna be a real workout
  18. Big s
    That was a very iconic character from Buck Rogers. I liked the ship too. Was also a big part of creating an oddball Rick and Morty recurring character

    I had no real use for it. The animation is high quality, but the barely-there main story is not helped in the least by making every single character a maximally unlikeable total bastard. It feels impossible to get invested in any of the cast or their fates when everything about who they are and what they do seems calculated to make them as easy to hate as possible. It's all edge and no point, like a pizza cutter.
  20. Papa Rat
    Working on the rhinoplasty right now. lol. There was no way to line it up proper without everything else going all wacky.
  21. Big s
    What about the whole droid being red other than one odd gold one
  22. Big s
    I remember the toughest parts for me were the lower arm launchers and the body due to the alignment issues. I remember having to describe the face and almost totally resculpting the nose since I just couldn’t get that face to match up
  23. Jasonc
    Who from MW will be there? It'd be cool to meet up with some members I've never seen in person.

    Thus far, only two attempts to modernize existing Destroid lines have been mentioned across not quite 60 years of in-story time. Only one of which was successful (the Cheyenne II). No mentions of any new model development for the New UN Forces or PMCs in all that time either and we know the military's decommissioning and selling off the First Space War machines to civilian users for conversion into heavy construction equipment. WRT Ceres Base, I'd assume there are old, possibly formerly mothballed, Destroids stationed there because the base is incomplete and it's one of the few spacecraft large enough to have Destroids maneuver inside of it safely. Presumably once the base comes online, they'd replace the Destroids with static point defense guns and missile launchers like all of the other New UN Forces ships and rely on Valkyries for local area defense. Given what we know about tactics in Macross, there's not a lot of value in basing defenses on a planet's surface. The thousands of remaining Zentradi main fleets are the main threat at large in the galaxy. Their usual MO is to blast their way to orbital supremacy and then simply flatten enemy surface targets from orbit like they did to Earth in the First Space War or to Spica III in Variable Fighter Master File. That's why the New UN Spacy's defenses are organized around avoidance first and foremost using active and passive stealth technology, and then around keeping enemy forces away from orbital space with various defensive fleets and orbital defense stations. Destroids on the ground aren't much use against an enemy that's never going to come down there to fight. That's almost certainly why the Al Shahal NUNS is only able to muster token resistance to the Var-affected NUNS Marines on the surface. Their defenses are mainly up in orbit, so what they had on hand while the space defenses were occupied by the Aerial Knights was the Valkyrie units that'd been rotated to surface postings and the handful of air defense destroids that'd probably been configured for remote operation in static emplacements until things went south. Maybe that's why they struggle to hit anything in the episode... hasty switchover from unmanned to manned operation and/or out-of-practice pilots. We see a fair bit of that in Macross 7's 15th episode, "A Girl's Jealousy". In that episode, the citizens of City 7 bring out their privately owned Valkyries and Destroids for a carnival that's a low-key recruitment drive for an ad hoc defense force. There are a number of privately owned VF-1s in the crowd, but also several Destroids that have been disarmed and modified as various kinds of construction equipment. There's a Spartan that has both hands replaced by drills, a Defender with a vertical drilling rig fitted, a Tomahawk with what appears to be a massive pair of dozer blades, a Phalanx with a massive cement mixing drum and trowel, etc. Of course, some of the Destroids ended up being used as literal target practice as seen in Macross Plus.

    Just as long as she has a red arm...

    Hahahaha I figure I’ll be sanding off some details in the process and remake theme with some .3mm pla once the seams are butter smooth. Is that a saying? Butter is smooth, right? Anyway yeah it’s going well so far.

    I was thinking the same thing. All I really wanted were two longer forearms with retractable hands for Bonecrusher, but I'm impressed by how much better his torso appears and by the range of gained articulation. Upgrade in the truest sense. I'm fine with Bonecrusher's stock feet, so the slippers 😄 will stay in the box along with the bugles. I was fine with the hollow bits on Scrapper, but it's nice that they're including fillers for him in the same kit. I have to smile at the presumption that if you have one fig, you're going to have the other one too. 😁 The fillers for Scrapper's calves seem a bit superfluous as they don't really fill the hollows but merely add another couple mms of plastic to their interiors. I hope the new piece that attached directly to Bonecrusher's shovel has a tight joint as well as a well toleranced tab otherwise his shovel is just going to fall off of his chest. It's not a bad idea to impart some articulation, but the downside is having his chest fall off all the time having lost its anchor to his groin. Nevertheless, I want this kit, if only for those replacement arms. I'll try the rest to test their efficacy, but I have a bad feeling about Bonecrusher's chest.
