  1. Robotech-related myths here...

    1. Myth: The Zentradi were chasing the Macross because of something intrinsically and identifiably special with the ship.

    Source: Robotech, where the SDF-1 was originally the laboratory of a alien scientist.

    Reality: The Zents were chasing the Macross for two reasons: first to eradicate the Supervision Army, although the mission was later changed to "capture" when they found the Macross' seemingly mysterious ability to repair (something Zents couldn;t do with their equipment)

    Myth: The Zentraedi couldn't repair their own equipment:

    Source: RT and Pat Payne's post ;)

    Reality: The Zentraedi are seen several times throughout SDF Macross repairing their own equipment. Remember Kamzin in his wifebeater when their ship was crashed in the Amazon, and he was bitching at his guys to get it fixed.

    I think kamzin makes a refrence to the fact that the humans taught them how to repair their own equipment in that scene. I think he says something about using human culture against humanity in this way.

    Could be wrong though.

  2. no, I learned it from your wife last night.

    Interesting, I am sure I have some kids I don't know about, but a wife I don't know about? Wow, I AM a fukin stud.

    You sure you didn't get married in Mexico?

    I figured that would be the climax of part three.

    And damn straight there should be a parenthood test I've seen too many "winners" in my time both parents and kids to believe otherwise

  3. That's pretty cool.  If the bathroom was plastered with Macross pics then why did you only buy that one?

    well for one I thought they wouldn't let me buy even that one. But mostly it was because I thought it was rather unique. The rest of the images I had seen in one form or another before, but I had never seen this one.

  4. Yeah, I own that picture too.  I always wished it was in colour, though.

    Photoshop masters.....we need you!!! :(

    My girlfriend just kind of volunteered to give the picture color. Her exact words were, "No! I need to do it because It will be terrible unless they put it in traditional art nouveau colors." So she wants to do it for coloring practice in photo shop, and because she loves Mucha's work which this is based on.

    So we'll see what happens.

  5. Hey man, just wondering if you've ever seen those Dateline NBCs where they do the hotel and phone booth exposes. You know where they run the red light over everything and you can actually see the stains......

    (Just kidding man, just busting your chops, great find, thanks for sharing)

    Yes I have... I didn't think about that :unsure:

    :lol:

  6. Cool Picture. I wonder where it is really from?

    The print comes from This Is Animation Original Illustration Super Dimension Fortress Macross Character Edition. This is a folder of 10 B4 size illustrations published by Shogakukan in 1983.

    If the picture wasn't too big for my scanner, I'd post here at a better reslotion.

    Stealing it did cross my mind, but I'm too honest. :D

    Is yours printed on card stock cause that's what mine came on.

    I scaned the image in at 300dpi (Freaking huge!) but here is a bigger image let me know if you want something even bigger it should be no problem.

    edit: Made it a little bigger as per toonz's request cause I didn't see it the first time.

  7. So a funny thing happend on the way to the forum...

    I was on my way to a job interview yesterday, and it was only a mile from where I live so I just decided to walk it. I stopped to use the bathroom at the local half price books and what should I see on the wall but a picture of a Q-rau. I was like wow thats unusual. Then I turned around, and the other side was plastered with Macross pictures. I fell in love with this one and asked them if I could purchase it. (You should have seen the look on the clerk's face when I asked her if I could purchase one of the pictures from the men's room. :lol: )

    Anyway they gave it to me for 50 cents it looks like a parody of the work of Alfons Mucha. Anyway here you go...

    (Special thanks to my girlfriend Rachelle for helping with th photoshop work.)

  8. Anyone want to start taking bets on how long it will be before that guy dies?

    315832[/snapback]

    That guy looks like he's about to explode. :lol:

    316478[/snapback]

    I wanna see him try and snap a car in half with his bare hands. Then possibly eat a whole cow in one gulp like a snake.

  9. No big heart tug?

    What about in the last five minutes or so when they are each thinking about wanting to be with eachother and at the end Mikako floats there and they each think "I'm right here."

    I've never been able to not cry when I watch that. This one even got my cold sarcastic bastard friends sobbing.
