Can the head lasers aim forward in the fighter modes of the VF-5000/11/19/22/25/31.

Can its head laser point forward in fighter mode?

EDIT: Got an answer.

If the VF-5000 and VF-11 were to have a forward firing internal gun in fighter mode, where would the ideal/logical placement be?

Just noticed there are no naval torpedos for the VFs. Maybe the VA-3M fulfills the ASW role?

Generally, I would not upload scans of multiple pages of a book here... though I am also not able to since my scanner died a while back and I've yet to replace it.

Not looking for full page scans. Just the art for the weapons (cropped or photo).

I managed to find one for the AMM-112SQ:

• PaCSWS-2C para-cruising stealth weapons system
• ACSWS-1A Super High Maneuver Missile
• ACSWS-1D Super High Maneuver Missile
• AMM-142 Asura

Thanks for the reply.

How many of each per hardpoint? Is it possible for you to upload images of those weapons?

What are the hardpoint placements for VF-31 as depicted in its Variable Fighter Master File book? What are the names of its hardpoint weapons?

I believe they're used in one shot in the low altitude city dogfight between Isamu and Guld in Macross Plus.

Thank you.

It's hard for me to tell in that scene but are those guns rapid-fire or single-shot?

"why they didn't come for Thanos".

In the comics, they are hardwired / programmed not to interfere unless:

a) Deviants are involved

b) Celestials are attacked by other beings

c) Their existence is threatened

The third clause is activated when Thanos directly attacked them in a recent storyline and he is handily defeated by a few Eternals. The Eternals do not have complete free will.

Which are the VF-31A's Bifors CIMM-3B micro-missiles? The 6 internal launchers near the knees or the hatch on the back of the legs?

Why is the VF-31 considered to have lower performance than the VF-25?

I'll have to get back to you on some of them, since some of my books are up in my study.

Sorry to bug you about this. Are there more designations?

The VF-11 Thunderbolt's booster packs are listed as NP-SP-09, and the conformal leg tanks as NP-SF-09.

Looking forward to the rest.

Are the VF-11's NP-SP-09 and NP-SF-09 the ones from Plus or 7?

Yeah... Long story short, the Eternals are essentially the Marvel franchise's version of History Channels' Ancient Aliens if they actually existed in Marvel's universe.

The Eternals are not aliens but their origin is based in part on the Chariots of the Gods (ancient astronaut concept) as stated by Jack Kirby. Other inspirations are Childhood's End and Jack Kirby's previous creations, the New Gods.

Variable Fighter Master File offers unofficial designations for certain packs on other models of VF.

Can you post the designations?

I've never seen the VF-19 (A-D) equipped with the NP-BAP-15c booster units in GERWALK and battroid modes. Are they mounted on the shoulders or back?

Do the super/FAST packs of the VF-11, VF-17, VF-25, VF-27, VF-31, Sv-262 have designations? What about the armored packs of the VF-25 and VF-31?

First 14 mins of episode 1.

Judging from the blue ships' designs, I'm guessing those greenskins are the Bolar? They look like the Gatlanteans.

I remember watching the anime and noticing some of GoLion's weapons being inconsistent. For example, the Fire Tornado. It's either a flamethrower; or a tornado; or red lion wind + green lion flame; or red lion tornado + green lion mist.

After Plus/7/Frontier/Delta, Macross II tech feels like a huge regression.

Which issue of Macross Ace was it?

They didn't proofread those articles?

In-universe technology-wise, it doesn't make sense.

The oddest weapon would be the stealth micro-missiles (!). On the other hand, there are some large missiles with fold out forward-swept wings that are very reminiscent of the discarded idea for micro-missile loaded cruise missiles in Macross Zero (does it need to be mentioned that they're stealthy?).

Can you post pictures of these and other weapons from the book?
