    I'm liking it more in those new pics. And at least it's confirmed the gunpod can attach in fighter mode. Graham

    Given Bandai's stellar work on the VF-19 Advance, I'd really love to see their take on the VF-2SS with SAP. I'm guessing the gunpod will not mount in fighter mode on the Evolution VF-2SS. Mind you, I always used to think that the VF-2SS should had two gunpods mounted on forearms in fighter mode based on the SAP, not just one on the centerline. Graham

    Still keeping my two preorders. Not perfect but not bad. Graham

    I think I threw my Yamato Konig in the trash a couple of years ago. It was so froppy, I couldn't be assed tying to sell it.

    I'd buy a red Milia VF-17S if Arcadia made it. Graham

    Get the Bandai without a doubt. It's a great toy. The Yamato is a froppy mess. Heck, can you even still find the Yamato anymore anyway? Graham

    Ah, didn't know it had been posted already.

    From Facebook. Originally from Twitter. Find courtesy of Ollie Barder. Can't read the Japanese from the original Twitter part, but I'm guessing this is a fan made lineart interpretation. Graham

    All I want is cool mecha designs and lots of amazingly choreographed and animated VF on VF fights set to great music. Everything else is secondary to that to me

    Anyway, I've been saying mix of YF-30 and VF-19, not just YF-19. Graham

    From what I remember from my former contacts, back before Frontier aired, Yamato were actually offered a chance at the toy licence by Big West as long as they became a major sponsor of the show. Yamato couldn't afford it then, so Bandai ended up with the toy licence as they become the major sponsor of the show. Given the popularity of Frontier and Bandai's success with Frontier toys, it's probably pretty much certain that Bandai has the Delta toy licence locked down already. Graham

    Even back before Frontier aired, I was wondering would the Fold Booster technology of Macross Plus have become advanced enough that the Frontier Valks had built-in, miniature Fold Boosters capable of multiple Folds. Alas, that was not to be. Certainly, a built-in Fold Booster capable of multiple foldswith little or no recharge time between folds would be a strategic and tactical game changer. Did the Vajra have the capability to warp munitions directly into their bodies? I don't remember. I thought they organically grew replacement munitions inside their bodies, but this took time. Maybe I'm remembering wrongly. Nobody knows yet. But I imagine it is unlikely to be Arcadia.

    Yes, but if these are pre-painted and easy to put together, then as a non-model builder with all the model building skills of a headless chicken, I'd personally rather have these than a 1/48 Hasegawa Graham

    I'm very curious as to why Kawamori-san obviously used the Saab Draken as his inspiration for the plane in the background, given that the Draken is an old design dating from the mid-1950s. When he has previously used real world influences in his VF designs, Kawamori has in the past used more contemporary planes as his inspiration. Unless.............I remember reading somewhere (maybe it was a post in these forums), that Tenjin may be designing some of the mecha for Delta. Perhaps that Draken-esq mecha is a Tenjin original? Just a theory. Graham

    The forward swept wings, the upwards turned canards, the dorsal spine, the canopy shape (especially the bottom edge of the canopy frame), the way the engines/lower legs sit partially above the main body of the plane.

    I wonder what incremental improvements in technology Kawamori has added to the VFs in Delta? Probably not too many major new improvements this time, as it's only 8 years since Frontier. In Frontier the main new technological advances as I see it for the VFs were: ICS, Ex-Gear, remote control of VFs via Ex-Gear, the electromagnetic linear actuators for faster transformation time, practical rapid fire beamgun pods (VF-27/YF-29/YF-30) and better integration of internally stowed weapons (YF-29's rotating dual beam cannon and the YF-30's weapon pod). Graham

    Yeah, I pointed it out a page or two back already. Probably either an independant colony logo or a PMC logo. Graham

    A reconstruction era story would make a cool OVA IMO. Graham
  19. Graham
    Given that we previously heard that Delta is only set a few years after Frontier (I forget how many), it's not surprising that the airframe and basic transformation of the hero VF will likely be similar to Frontier-era / Macross 30 era VFs. Anyway, from what we can see of the design, it's pushing all the right buttons for me so far. I just hope it's a military VF, in a conflict / war based story. I really don't want see a Macross anime about racing VFs, basketball playing VFs or sky surfing VFs.....yuk! Graham

    Ha, this is gonna end up like that white-gold or blue-black dress meme from earlier this year. Anyway, I'm calling dark blue with yellow trim (ala YF-21) on the Draken-esq VF. Graham
  21. Graham
    I'm wondering if the Draken VF is blue not red. Looking at the nosecone, it looks more like dark blue to me. Graham
  22. Graham
    Well, spotted, I didn't notice that, was too fixated on the VFs...........haha
  23. Graham
    Heavy Saab Draken influence in that fighter at the back, along with a color scheme somewhat reminiscent of Nora's SV-51. The blue and white VF definitely looks like the love child of a YF-30 and VF-19. And yeah, I agree that is almost certainly a YF-30 type weapons pod between the legs. Is it just me or do the lower legs of the white and blue VF seem to have a bit of Meltrandi Q-Rau styling? Note no NUNS or SMS markings on either craft! Maybe the marking on the tail of the blue and white VF represents Another PMC group, or possibly an independent colony? Hope this is not an anime about VF racing........urghhhhh! As much as I enjoyed looking at the pretty pictures in the 'Macross The Ride', books I personally have zero interest in seeing an anime about VF racing. Graham
  24. Graham
    Heh, October 29th is my birthday! They remembered........LOL The craft at the back looks like some sort of Ghost to me also. Liking what little we can make out of the VF in the foreground.

    6 and 7 for me, as: I'm not in a good financial situation at the moment, so can't really afford expensive Valks. The upcoming VF-2SS actually excites me much more, as it's the first time we've had that VF as a variable toy, so saving my pennies for that instead. Plus I like the VF-2SS design more than the VF-0S. I was not impressed that much with the Arcadia YF-19 due to the loose ankles and wings and lack of tampo printing, panel lines and detailing. Graham
