    Doncha know? They'll say anything to get mentioned on THIS site.

    Robot Wars the Movie? Without buzz saws, claws, flame throwers, and all that stuff?
  3. azrael
    Mostly yeah.

    The wrap-around imaging screens used in the VF-19 and VF-17 was not adopted into the VF-22.

    Our long-standing "versus" policy is in regards to cross-universe "versus". Hence, we don't do "versus" threads here. Like "could a Hover tank take on a Gundam" or "My VFA-6H Alpha Fighter could kick your YF-19's ass" and that nonsense. It doesn't cover in-universe bickering. And your topic was closed for having a cryptic thread title as someone mentioned.

    There's a reason why I put in the line in bold.

    I won't take the Mayan Island myths/legends/folklore literally. That's why they're myths/legends. The Bird Human cutting off its own head seems a bit far fetched. But that's how the natives and legend view it. It's possible that it was a move by the Protoculture survey ship that came to this region of space to after they were attacked by insurrection forces. The survey ship didn't want the Bird Human to fall into terrorists hands and decided to make it unusable or whatever excuse you want to use, so they ejected control unit, or the "head", and abandoned it on the planet. And gee whiz, it's as if AFOS cut off its own head. At the same time, the "turtle shell" that landed and became the present-day Mayan Island could have been that same survey ship, before it was blow to pieces. Those islands may have been there already or been formed geologically at a later time. But because no one ventured out that way and the Protoculture ship just happened to be in that area, oh my, the Mayan Island was formed by them.

    Okay the idea behind this thread is simple, users tend to ask questions that are, for better words, either easy to find common knowledge or sound pretty funny. You don't want to look stupid and we don't want to have mod a bunch of little topics. Examples: "Whose that green haired lady?" "What happen to Rick hunter?" "Did Minmay kiss her brother?" "Is this video from this country a bootleg?" "What's with the Zentradi elf-ears?" "Is there an official answer to <insert story="" or="" production="" trivia="" here="">?" "Where can I find a copy of this <insert product="" here="">?" "When will we see <insert product="" here=""> come out?" "What are this things?"/"Where are these things?"/"Who are these things?" "What <insert show or episode> did <insert event or item> show up?" and other newbie or short questions like these post them here. Ground rules It's only for newbie-type and short question/answer type questions about Macross. When someone post a simple question here hopefully one the more experienced posters will tell the newbie the answer. It's Question & Answer-format only. Nothing more. Newbies tend to be lazy and ask questions about everything. If you can point the newbie to the source it's better than just telling them the answer straight. If you see a newbie question about Macross somewhere else direct them here and their other topic will be closed/deleted. Search is a great tool.

    Anyways... Back to Macross R...

    Not to mention he misspelled Valkyrie.

    There's a whole bunch of answers. Heck there's even a glossary. There's volumes of material on the UC-timeline. http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/uc/background/glossary.html

    Ummmm....that's due to Minovsky particles. Minovsky particles screw with electronics like most forms of sensors and communication in MSs. So MSs have to rely on visual sensors (i.e. cameras and human peepers) to shoot at each other. This is also why then end up in close-quarter combat situations fighting with melee weapons like beam sabers.

    It's been mentioned and I'd like to remind us, but the summary does mention that NUNS and PMCs (in this case, SMS) are using the race to secretly test their VFs which is why something like the VF-19EF shows up in this race along with other various VFs. And one of the Dengeki Hobby scenes is a squad of VF-19EF engaging a Zentradi power armor. So I don't think this novel will be short on things blowing up....and I'm not talking about the male protagonist's VF which, as his bio notes, seems to malfunction just as he is about to win final round races.
  15. azrael
    If you can't stick with the topic, LOCK.
  16. azrael
    The VF-25 has active stealth so the need for a passive stealth silhouette isn't necessary. It would be nice, but it's not necessary for operation.
  17. azrael
    Don't you know? Reading is a lost art at MW. But yeah, this is about a race like touring car racing. Except the cars are Valks. Not sure how terrorism got into this.

    Yeah, it's always hard to tell with side-stories. Sometimes they can fill back story, sometimes they're just left out. For example, Gundam has a plethora of side stories which filled in some things that the animated series don't. Sometimes they fill in more than they should. Sometimes they leave the viewer with more questions than answers. So we simply don't know have any good answer when dealing with side stories.

    Speaking of PC vs. Consoles Crytek say “PC is easily a generation ahead”, being held back by consoles

    HG would have to get a cut just like any other anime licensor, otherwise, no company out there would want to distribute anime in the US, period. You have to ask, how much of a cut but more importantly, would Tatsunoko get any of that money. If Tatsunoko gets any of that money, they would have a financial stake to the Macross-franchise, which they are not suppose to have beyond SDF Macross and whatever merchandise came out of DYRL?. While HG's actions may have instigated the legal action, the fight was solely between BW and Tatsunoko. If Tatsunoko were to get any money from the franchise beyond SDFM and DYRL? merchandise, that would probably be a the deal breaker. Getting money for something you bought and exploited is fine. But having any of that profit going to a 3rd party who wasn't involved at all and just sat on their asses to collect money? That ain't right. I can't even see Ark Angel being a Battle 7 rip-off superficially. Like Jasonc said, it really looks like it's just a Mospeada design shoe-horned into a SDF-1 transformation.
  23. azrael
    I really don't know how some of you see a Macross 7 design in that. Reminds me of something out of the reimaged Battlestar Galactica. Battle 7 looks like and is a carrier. That thing looks like Galactica's silhouette with flight pods retracted.

    In fact, if our Japanese users want to read it, Chapter 1 is available from the Dengeki Hobby website. You'll need the Crochet plugin, which you can also get of Dengeki Hobby's website. And it's available for everyone (even our USA users) to view as well. But it's in Japanese.

    She's a pure-blood Zentradi with SMS's Apollo platoon/squad/squadron. And it's a side-story about a sporting competition where people compete with VFs. The male protagonist of the story, Hakuna Aoba, competes a VF-1 for example. I expect to see lots of customized VF models from this novel like most of Dengeki Hobby stories.
