Just now, Valkyrie Driver said:
As for the YF-29, Looking at the toy, I see 6 Micro missile launchers (2 shoulder mounted, and 2 outboard on each leg/engine nacelle), the back mounted twin beam cannons, the head lasers, and the Beam Gun Pod (which I don't know the technical name for).
There are ports on the hips, and forearms which look like they should be weapons, and then there are supposed to be guns of some kind in the monitor turret.
That accounts for the weapons that I can see, some of which seem unlisted.
Is it true that the YF-29 was supposed to have the same performance and firepower of the VF-25 with tornado parts?
The Macross Mecha Manual is a wealth of information, it doesn't have any info on Delta though.
-
How large are those micro missiles anyway that you could fit more than 200 in one aircraft?
-
What is the capacity of each gunpod used. I mean I remember the VF-1's GU-11 Gunpod only stored around 200 bullets. And when you compare that to the VF-25 carrying a super pack with more than 200 missiles, it seems that the missiles outnumber the bullets now
-
Can pilots still exit the VF in Battroid mode for modern valkyries?
-
I think most of us wants that balance. The TV series did make Walkure really popular. Which I fear they maybe selling the music more than anything as I have noticed a Walkure concert a few weeks after the opening of the movie in 2018.
I'd like to see more battroid battles. Some may say this is because they are in the atmosphere which is why they use the fighter mode often but if we look at M+, it was done nicely.
-
It also reminded me a lot of the GI Joe Battles in the 80's where two squadrons get pitted together and no one gets hurt at the end of each episode. And transforming in Battroid has been a rarity in the series.
I guess the focus here is more on the Walkure and less on the Delta Squadron

With all the trailers coming out I assume no Superman will appear. Or maybe he will but he would be basically powerless at this point I think.
-
Wait, how does the VF-19F and VF-19S come into play? If the stunt that Isamu and Guld did in 2040 restricted the arms sales, are the F and S Excaliburs in Macross 7 Monkey Models as well?
-
Any specifications of the Macross Elysion? I just read it was just half a Macross Class Ship. It's kinda weird though that while I was watching the last battle, it looks like it was just the size of the quarter.
-
Do we have any more info on the SV-154?

Wow. I just rechecked that thread and remember posting it. But I didn't check afterwards.
Surprise to see someone mentioned the tagalog version one. What I remember is the english one when it first aired.
Anyways.
It's still in English, not Tagalog. But they were dubbed by Filipinos. We never dubbed in tagalog until Yu Yu Hakusho was renamed into Ghost Fighter here. And it was weird. Haha!
-
Well most of the lead characters were teens. I think it was just the art style in the 70's and 80s just made them look older. Like Misa. If you watched it, how old would you think she would be? She was 19 in the Series. Hikaru and Max were 16.
Most of the Art Styles now focuses on the kawaii, the moeblob and all that stuff..

Robotech was aired back in the Philippines around 1985 over Channel 9. Though I don't have recollection of them changing Minmei's name to Maria(?). Now I have to find footage of it just to see if they changed it for Filipino audience. Hehehe.
There was even a thread for this... I don't know if there is still existing footage online, but I doubt it. And it wasn't Robotech. It was aired on sundays around 5:30pm, and Misa was Misa, I think I learned of "Lisa Hayes" when there was already the internet. Haha!
-
Well I think they all acted negatively to it. I mean the spiritia that was being generated by Basara is making them actually uncomfortable. I think the spiritia is making them too ecstatic which is why Gavil shriveling up is kinda questionable.
-
Given that the Zentradi and the Supervision Army were fighting almost forever, how old do you think is the Alien Star Ship that crashed into earth?
And do you think that the technology made by protoculture has been surpassed as of 2067?
-
What is the difference between VF-19ADVANCE and the VF-19EF/A. I have seen both models sporting Isamu Colors and mentioning Macross Frontier Sayounara no Tsubasa. The ADVANCE was made by Bandai and the EF/A by Hasegawa. Which version was in the OVA?
-
I did not include the head lasers as they didn't behave like the other beam weaponry as they fired a continuous stream (except in two instances in Macross Zero and in DYRL). And I also think they were used short range.
Well beam weapons will also drain your power supply, which was shown in other anime. I don't think Macross has shown a Valkyrie that is low in power. Probably because most units get blown up before they lose all their power I guess.
Speaking of beam weapons, it's weird that the MC-17A which is a gatling gun can be outfitted with a beam cartridge that fires only one shot.
-
Another question. Beam Technology. Ever since they Developed the VF-4, they have been using Beam Guns. How effective/ineffective were they since the projectile gunpod was still the weapon of choice until the VF-27 and YF-29 came with beam rifles.
Here are the Valkyries that use beam weapons
Fixed small-bore forward laser guns (VF-17)
Mauler RÖV-25 25mm beam machine guns (VF-25)
Mauler REB-22 beam cannons (VF-171)
Erikon AAB-7B beam cannons (VF-171)
Fixed internal laser cannons (VF-19)
Mauler REB-22 internal converging energy cannons (VF-22)
Mauler ROV-25 22mm beam gun turret (VF-9) -

Nope, it's a single-fuel system.
The thermonuclear reaction turbine engine concept produces its thrust in atmospheric flight by pumping some of the heat from its compact thermonuclear reactor into the air flowing through the engine, that heat exchange works as a substitute for a combustion process in a normal turbine engine and cools the reactor in the bargain. When operating in space, the engine works much like Star Trek impulse drive technology... that is to say, a fusion plasma rocket. The thermonuclear reaction turbine engine uses its cryofuel slush as coolant as well as reactor fuel, and the propellant is a plasma stream bled off the compact thermonuclear reactor. That's an enormous boon to logistics, but because the reactor is consuming fuel at an exponentially greater rate its continuous operating time is greatly reduced in space. That's why many VFs employ FAST packs with high powered booster rockets and high-capacity conformal fuel tanks. The throttle-able hybrid rockets let them put less of a burden on the main engines, and thus decrease fuel consumption to extend their operating time.
Later versions of the technology, like the 4th Generation's thermonuclear reaction burst turbine engine and the 5th Generation's Stage II thermonuclear reaction turbine engine improved fuel efficiency, heat exchange efficiency, and power generation ability considerably, reducing the need for FAST packs. By the 5th Generation, FAST packs were more to carry huge amounts of weaponry without compromising performance than to extend operational endurance by a significant amount.
So how about the leak that Kakizaki was experiencing or that Hayate was losing propellant?

So to kick it off I'll toss a Question out there: What is the best Variable fighter in Macross?
If you count versatility it would be the VF-25
You can outfit it with three FAST packs as needed. Alto's VF-25 normally uses a Super Pack but he was authorized to equip it with the Armor Pack for heavier battles.
- Super Pack
- Armor Pack
- Tornado Pack
Also as a squadron you have a configuration where two can be fighter/bombers, then you have a long range sniper and then you have a recon unit to alert you of incoming enemies as well as for electronic warfare.

Since in the Macross Universe we are using Thermonuclear Turbine Engines, I want to confirm the following.
Does it use two sources? It burns the propellant for travel and nuclear matter for everything else.
And during the time of Macross Zero, the Valkyrie is totally powered by the Aircraft Fuel burned by the Standard Engines?
Do we have an explanation for that in any Macross Mecha Manual?
-
Macross is more light hearted than Gundam.... In Gundam, I saw Characters Cry out in Rage. There was no KIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRA!!!! ATTTTRRUUUUUUN! We don't see emo Characters like Io Fleming who gets angry everytime he can't beat Daryl and grunts when he misses his targets. I think Alto is the most emo we have seen and it was light compared. Even Guld isn't as angry as most of the Gundam protagonists that I have watched.

I'm not complaining about that though. You guys do a hell of the job. I always assumed that there were no info because Macross Delta had little info out at the moment.
