I don't know why they had to say it's a "pulse autocannon", though (whatever the heck that is)--I guess it's to justify the "innovative" 3-horned look. The ability to automatically target incoming missiles is pretty reasonable even by old real-world tech standards--it's similar to the radar-controlled point defense weaponry on American warships (the Phalanx).

I see your point about the auto-targeting capabilities, ewilen, but considering that autocannon's more or less a stronger -1A head laser with the same range of motion wouldn't it hamper the head unit?

Example: Missiles incoming from 3 o'clock, but you need the head unit to focus 11 or even 12 o'clock. How do you deal with both?

Prolly answered my own question with that, but you see what I mean, ne?

Actually, HG/RT.com keeps stating it as a *YF-1R,* and RT.com's got a piece about it. Also, I have the YF-1R Super Poseable. It's okay, but its colors (dark brown) are anything but low-viz... unless it's uber-overcast. It's makes the CF's brown look real bright.

According to HG (*snickersnicker*), the 1R is supposed to be upgrade the 1A and 1J. The center head laser is supposedly an pulse autocannon for downing incoming missiles???

For a head unit placed weapon, that just doesn't seem plausible... right?

When Max and Milia go head to head in the arcade. Note that when Max vapes Milia's valk, you see the red pilot tumbling amongst the bits and pieces of the destroyed machine.

Hory Mory!! That looks out-freaking-standing!! If the Skull-One looks that great in Fighter, how does she look in Gerwalk and Soldier/Batroid?

Great art, bake_art!!

Maybe it's just me, and this may qualify for another topic, but does the -19 and -21/22 remind anyone else of futuristic mecha-sized samurai armor? B)
