Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
aurance replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah, it definitely helps to know *how* a certain VF is specialized for something. The Sv-262 thing is logical. Did they think there was some combat advantage to that weird transformation, or was it just aesthetics (in-universe of course)? -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
aurance replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Couple things. 1) I think the YF-29 has been described as an example of “crippling overspecialization” elsewhere on the topic. But not knowing exactly which of its enhancements are conducive to fighting vajra and how, can we really say that definitively? At first glance its specs and weapons make it just fine for killing VFs and most other roles. 2) YF-30 is described as “lightly armed.” But is that really the case comparatively? Even without the ordinance container it had a heavy quantum beam gun and head lasers, which seems like fairly normal equipment for a lot of “standard” valks. -
Yes exactly that. Thank you, it looks fine, just checking that I did it correctly.
-
When you fold the arms forward, are the hinged shoulder parts behind the canard supposed to sit flush instead of having a gap? I don’t want to force it.
-
How do gun pods go from fighter to hands? Magnets? Magic?
-
This is just really really cool stuff.
-
That’s just a mirror photoshop for the most part.
-
You know what, I really like it as it is (still gonna buy the heck out of this thing), but I do agree your changes would make it nicer.
-
I’ll paint out Guld’s eyeballs.

“Delimiter mode” isn’t connected to him ejecting the arms and legs of the thing. I had suspicions this was the case and asked for corroboration. He purged the limbs because they were busted to all hell, but delimiter mode is really just overriding the software controls that prevent the fighter from accelerating to human goo.
-
What do you mean by “cascades” in this sense?
-
Curious that we haven’t seen its gunpods.
-
In honor of YF-21 Bandai being announced, a question: Was it conclusively stated that the arm/leg ejection functionality of the YF-21 are part of the "delimiter mode"? It seems odd to eject huge amounts of control surfaces and fuel to get higher performance. I always figured the ejection was to rid the fighter of severely damaged dead weight which would no doubt unbalance the fighter, and the delimiter mode was a separate software control that let the pilot override safety standards.

Yeah I'm not a fan of that lump either. For me Mirage's is best head. I wish I had waited for her valk release instead of getting Messer's, as I only wanted one copy of -31.

This is entertaining... But no. -
Jesus Christ, you people. (I mean this in the fondest way, and having enthusiastically read the entire thread )

No, and, Mommar gave a use case up there. It would be good to keep all the sales day insanity in a quick-moving discord chat and the threads here focused on the actual product information, for example, so we don't have to sift through 500 pages of vendor-caused angst. It's a less formal, more conversational medium. I'm 41 btw, so... Whatever.
-
It's really very simple. About as hard as using this forum.
-
Yeah, actually that same piece on mine was broken right out of the box. But there was enough tension in the shoulder joints to hold it in place regardless so it didn't bother me too much.
-
Thanks Seto. Another one: do you know if the VF-4's shoulders can rotate in-universe, or are its arm movements actually severely limited compared to other fighters, like its toy representation?
-
Is there anything written on the circumstantial advantages of using the gun pod in-hand vs. on the turret and vice versa, for the VF-31 series? Why have both options and not just one or the other like most other valks?
-
I'm the opposite actually, the 19F wing type is one of my favs, more than the 29 or the 19A.
-
Has this thing tightened up at all the loose wings present in the -19ADVANCE due to the high speed gimmick?
-
A good updated yf-21 ( from whoever) is my holy grail.
-
The ECA possibly causing the valk to become more padding squishy or deformed is certainly an idea I hadn't considered. Interesting. This reminds me of how the yf-21 moves it's wings.
