I re-encoded the [Nipponsei] release to something a bit more size-friendly for portable music players (MP3 VBR). You'll find it in the first post of the Series discussion thread.
This thread is more like entertaining the thought of a Macross-type movie for Western audiences. If you want a live action Robotech movie, well, we got a thread for that.
Replicating that shiny gold is really hard. Many modelers I've seen in magazines or websites end up recoating in Tamiya champagne gold or a mix. The best I can say is try silver and then a clear yellow or similar color. Most modelers I've seen end up repainting it with a straight gold color.
1) Politics-like yapping needs to stop. NOW. Human, American, Turd blossom. I really don't care what nationality you call yourself. Just post it anywhere else besides this website.
2) I'm gonna agree with hobbes221. What context are we talking about? Are we talking about a Japanese production being adapted for a Hollywood audience or a Hollywood production made for a Hollywood audience? Cuz the latter is being made into a live-action Robotech (we have a thread for that already).
NMCs probably has destroids as well. Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they it doesn't have them. And I really don't see the point of comparing a carrier vs a gunship.
I really get the feeling that Louise is Ribbons' eyes in the A-Laws. Which might explain whats-her-face from the season 1 finale. I'm still impressed with the Ahead. Guess the animation did make it look better than the lineart did. Throne Zwei also seems to be making a comeback. I'm not sure if Nena Trinity is flying Throne Drei or something else. The cockpit definitely looked like Drei's cockpit but I couldn't tell from the wide-shot view.
Early leak of OST 2 can be found in the first post of this thread. It's also up at Tokyo Toshokan, minus scans, romanized track titles and no track numbering. Official release date is Oct. 8, 2008.
As always, if anyone wants to pass me a DD link (and with romanized labels and track listings), just PM me and I'll drop it in the first post of the Overall Series discussion thread. Assuming, I don't get to it myself.

When the nose folds down with the cockpit, the cockpit separates and moves into the chest.

As I said earlier, Menclave is as good as Shinsen. But Menclave is ridiculously slow on almost any show they work on. They know it and honestly don't care.
