Mr March

They're kinda small. You know me, everything has to be high resolution so I can make some monstrous wallpaper out of it Seriously, I know its a pain of me to always insist on high resolution images, but that's the one reason the M3 looks as good as it does. I do want to make a visual time line, really badly, but I want it done right with sharp, detailed images.

Meltrandi Factory Satellite? Didn't even know there was one. You should send briscojr84 a PM and ask him, since he takes care of the QM site. But speaking of Factory Satellites, I'll be adding this one from VF-X2 in the next update.

I built the Macropedia as an in-universe FAQ (with a few exceptions). However, a franchise FAQ written from the real world perspective would be ideal. You fellas should build one. I also wanted to build a simple "Visual Timeline" of the Macross anime productions, using the title graphics of each series. But I don't have them all and no way to obtain the ones I'm missing.

Thanks azrael. Found them and watched all three. Interesting little story.

Where can we find the webisodes where we don't get the "this video is not available for your location" crap?

Oh, just wait... *has visions of the inevitable outrage to come, the how-could-you accusations, the attempts to guilt people for having an opinion, the formation of the two camps stating either we-shouldn't-act-like-this or toughen-up-and-learn-to-cope, the moderators crying how these threads always go bad, the pessimists telling you it's going bad (lol), the lone member actually trying to have a real conversation with the new guy, the BIG reveal how it was all planned or a scam from the beginning, the rest of the membership laughing at all this, it's all coming soon to a theatre near you* Anyway... Welcome to the forums astroybunny

As line art becomes available, I'll be adding more Macross Zero entries (currently working on Asuka and Octos). More Macross II mecha will be added as well, including the destroids. Most of the other mecha on that page will not be added.

The whole thing just seems a little too-ignorant-to-be-true. But then again... I often enjoy listening to the different interpretations people have of the same entertainment I enjoy. But every once in a while a fan declares completely wrong analogies, assumptions or "facts" and you're left scratching your head wondering where the hell they came up with this stuff. Klan Klan as a MILF is one such moment

Very apt analogy, for better and for worse The Chronicle is probably published this way to entice fans to buy every issue, since no one issue will ever have everything the fan wants.

"Woohoo! We just had a near-life experience!"

Models are looking good. I love the Mauler RO-X2A high-powered double-action beam cannon. One of my favorite heavy weapons in Macross.

I know. I was being a cheeky little bastard

We don't even need to count the universe. The Milky Way Galaxy is so vast and there are so many stars that even if there are millions of Zentradi and/or Supervision Army ships flying around, the likelihood of randomly encountering a fleet is very small. This topic came up before and I have been meaning to come up with some probability scenarios to post on my website. I have to do that.

Naturally I'm very wary of the idea of a Cowboy Bebop adaptation, but I have to know more details before I pass judgment. I want to know if Erwin is really going to produce or if he's just pitching the concept. I want to know who's directing. I want to know who's writing. I want cast details. Once I know that, I'll arrogantly prejudge the film's worth like a good little opinionated net denizen I will say this much so far: Keanu Reeves as Spike is a horrible idea of noir-like tragedy. There is one man and one man alone in Hollywood who can do Spike justice and that's Sam Rockwell. Cast him as Spike and I'll be convinced this live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop is being taken seriously. If they don't, then that's a big warning sign this film is off to a bad start

Changes made. Thanks RedWolf

There was no implied leadership beyond Bodolzaa. Something else to keep in mind regarding the Zentradi is the ridiculous age of the conflict between themselves and the remnants of the Supervision Army. We're talking hundreds of thousands of years. Some Zentradi Army fleets may still retain their number designation from tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago. The fleets might not be sequential any more either; some may have been destroyed (in fact, we can probably count on that as fact). There could be an overall leader of the Zentradi that we just didn't see, but then again, maybe there is no leader. The Protoculture were originally the leaders of the Zentradi race. When the Zentradi stopped following the orders of the Protoculture after the breakdown of the old Stellar Empire, perhaps the senior ranking officer in the Zentradi Army assumed command of all Zentradi forces. But who knows what became of him/her and whether or not anyone replaced that leader once he/she died. And given the division between males and females in Zentradi society, would they even agree on one person as leader? Sure Laplamiz and Milia followed Bodolzaa's orders the same as Britai and Kamjin (well, maybe not Kamjin), but there's a big difference between following a fleet leader and following the leader of the whole species. I can't imagine either side accepting one sex or the other. This question does raise some other interesting points to ponder. If the Zentradi did in fact have a central authority beyond the "main fleets", why wouldn't they have a "proportional response" to the destruction of a main fleet? Sure there are supposedly 1,000 to 2,000 main fleets out there. But Bodolzaa considered the 1,200 ships of the Adoclass fleet a "large number of ships", even though both Britai and Bodolzaa knew the 118th main fleet had 4,795,122 warships. So 1 main fleet in 1,000/2,000 is a much more significant ratio by comparison. With the loss of a main fleet considered significant, one would think the Zentradi would have formed some kind of response by now, unless the Zentradi have no central authority beyond the main fleets. I think it's quite possible there is no Zentradi central authority. Communication between fleets doesn't seem to be all that good. Commander Dagao of the Factory Satellite certainly didn't seem up to date on Britai's status. Chlore didn't realize Milia was part of the UN Spacy until encountering her as a miclone, despite the fact this was now some 37 years after Space War I. It appears that the Zentradi "main fleets" are largely autonomous and not under any kind of central command of any sort.

Some small additions; Macross 1 added to the New Macross Class profile and a Macross 11 entry added to the Macross Frontier section. New Macross Class (now with Macross 1 picture) Macross 11 profile (in the Macross Frontier section)

Robotech never counts

Do I even need to say how awful this looks? I think instead I'll just communicate my wtf-reaction when I saw Chow Yun Fat. I kept thinking "No, it's not possible". Then Johnny Depp appeared and said "Not probable"

So would I and the Japanese court ruling which awarded rights for the Macross characters and images to Big West would seem to support that interpretation. It seems likely Tatsunoko never had the rights to the images and thus HG could never be given them, only the rights to distribute the show internationally.

LOL Except you forgot to change all five mecha to the VF-1, since they haven't actually made a new mecha design in 25 years

Yeah, you should do some wallpapers of this sucker.

Very nice work, Pawn of Evil. Or perhaps I should say Pawn of Awesome I've never seen a CG version of the VF-2SS, so this is a treat. The proportions of the 3D model turned out quite well for what was originally a 2D creation. Nice work. I'm glad my website helped you out.

*Cheers* But you have to admit, the fast food analogies being thrown around this silly thread are comedy gold

Rest assured the M3 is remaining Macross only, for better or worse.
