Question: HIGH SPEED MODE! What (if anything) does the wing/control surface canting do, in terms of the high speed mode? Does it have any aerodynamic basis or is it just anime-kewlness? I kinda get it for the YF-19, as the leading edge of the wing gets smaller (less drag), but the other planes?
-
Delta Messer or Mirage, only one of the two... Which one??
-
Not a fan of the forward swept wing? Or something else?
-
What? What are you taking about
-
I actually like the landing gears :-)
-
Oh snap
-
I dunno. I'm not sure that within a fighter generation they have such granular control over downtuned engine specs that some smart people couldn't bring it back up to par, if they wanted to. I think it might be more of a materials/expense thing.
-
The attack mode looks... odd.
-
All this back story is quite intriguing (and completely new to me). I love the various -24 derived colonial valk designs but knowing what you guys said above, I'd be keen to see what Earth's most powerful fighter is like, circa Macross Delta timeframe...
-
Me too. Seems a step backwards. Well, I don't find the spine *that* ugly, but no I don't think it gets any better than what's shown here. Too bad, I think the 1/72 did it a little nicer.

Yeah I dunno. I don't find the "fighter-mode only for atmosphere" thing convincing, based on almost every other Macross story. Macross Plus, come on. -
Oh thank goodness the fighter can store articulated hands, not just the karate chop hands.
-
Yes I obviously get that, thanks, but I was wondering if there was an in-universe explanation. Not looking for anything super convincing (it's Macross after all), just any explanation at all. That's reasonable.
-
So... has there been any explanation why the Macross capital ships transform, other than the SDF-1? If I recall the SDF-1 had to transform in order to rewire some stuff to fire the cannon; i.e., the cannon wouldn't work unless the ship was configured in such a way. What is the purpose of the other ships (Battle-class, Elysion, Quarter, etc.) transforming? Why not just fire?

Yeah I was wondering about this as well. -
Haha wow. I guess I won't be optimistic about this.

Haha, oh dear X-D

Sorry "BK"?
-
Forgetting what
-
I'm not sure how that relates, but yes I know that.
-
What are the odds that someone would release a Battle-class (7/Frontier/Galaxy whatever) as a toy or model? Any plans that anyone knows of? It's my favorite Macross type capital ship.
