I think games are not totally considered canon, despite being in the chronology. FV IIRC, they thought they were VF-4s, not VF-14s. Why? Because both share the wing-mounted engine design. Also, Final Vegeta is correct. Even though you can fly a VF-14 in the M3 game, that does not necessarily mean that Max actually few one in the chronology.

Yamato did a run of the Low Viz because Kawamori liked the paint scheme. Really, he liked the paint scheme. And the "Minmay Guard" is also just another paint scheme. You can dream up whatever story you want, it's just a paint scheme. http://www.tmpanime.com/product_info.php?products_id=785 http://www.valkyrie-exchange.com/Hasegawa/...inmayguard.html http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/m...stoms-148-3.htm It's just another custom.

I don't believe so. It was just for the VFERR column in Character Model Magazine.... for now. Think of it as VF-EX (from the same magazine). Kawamori is just having fun with his designs.

http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...va14/index.html It says it there. VA-14 has heavier armor and weaponry, increased engine thrust and redesigned wings compared to the VF-14. If anything, I would say that the VA-14 probably shares a similar wing design as the Az-130.

Protoculture referred to in several instances in SDF Macross. However, Protoculture is not the protoculture of Robotech. Protoculture is not the same a Overtechnology. Please read: http://protoculture.lebhead.com/ http://macross.anime.net/fallacies/errata/robotech_faq/

Yes....yes it is.

Bingo. The games are based on the story. They aren't the story. Example: http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...2013/index.html See the listings for the M3 missions? Those details just tell you what happened. They do not go into detail. That's the point. So what if it did? Is that of any value to the story? No. So don't get all worked up about it. If they changed Max's hair color to heavy-blue/black, would that make Max any different? No. He's still Max. Nitpicking the details gets you no where. Don't worry about it.

*yawn* I was pointed to that article by my sibling. It is unfortunate that it is misinterpreted. The US pilots were intentionally handicapped while the Indians, were not. Do they list what those handicaps were? No. The whole point of that demo was to: Now tell me you don't see the bigger picture to this? The whole point was to funnel more money to the F/A-22 and JSF. Now, if the US did not have handicaps, I would say the picture would be different and would work against the funding of the F/A-22 and the JSF.

It's a game....don't worry about it being canon. Because it isn't. http://www.anime.net/macross/production/software/index.html The games are just based on the story. You do not need to pull your hair out wondering why they changed Komillia's hair color.

We have yet to see any.

The Compendium uses "Mardook". Manga Entertainment uses "Marduk". In the series, it is pronouced ma-ru-duu-ka (or -ku, I can't tell). In either case, it is a raising "u" sound. It will depend how you pronounce that raising "u".

Gents, Scroll down to the VF-11 entry note: http://www.anime.net/macross/feedback/index.html

Depends on which series you want. http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/f/....html#FockerRoy SDF Macross: (specifcally Roy) CVS-101 Prometheus (SDF-1 Macross) SDF Macross DYRL?: ARMD-01 (SDF-1 Macross) The Yammie 1/48 is from DYRL?. So if you want to parallel DYRL?, put on ARMD-01. Otherwise, it's there for you to customize.

IIRC, the creators of Macross played along the end-of-the-world themes, which is why we had the crash in 1999.

You missed the conversation about a page back. Go read. Fuel And Sensor Tactical

You can buy them 1 DVD at a time, or 3 at a time. Try to save up and get it. Sorry but the "I can't afford them/I don't have money" excuse doesn't work on me anymore.

You never know.... We don't know the actual limits of PPBs or ODBs (although that one episode in SDF Macross shows us that that there are limits, nonetheless). That's never been gone into detail by the powers-that-be. The power requirements would probably make me choke...and then some. There are limits, even in Macross. I'll leave that to your fan-fic imagination.... No comment. Neither and both. Egan sums it up best: http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...2040/index.html A more detailed version is, Macross Plus is about Project Super Nova, in which the UN held a competition, between the YF-19 and the YF-21, to determine which fighter would become the next-generation main-variable fighter. Also during that time, the music idol, Sharon Apple, was able to gain control of all computers on Earth, causing an incident.

Master tactician.....maybe....Walking databank/encyclopedia/glossary/thesaurus/manual/user's guide/information booth/etc... definitely.

Answer to why Britai is built better than your average Zentradi: http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/k/...danik_vrlitwhai Partial answer to Exsedol: http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/f/...l#folmo_exsedol Nah, really......This is Macross territory...not Robotech. For Robotech answers, go to RT.com.

Eh? ASS-1 is pre-SDF-1 Macross-designation. ASS-1 refers to SDF-1 before it was overhauled into the Earth vessel we know. M0 is taking place before SDF Macross (TV series) but well after it crashed (in fact, this is in the prologue of M0), so I don't see what the confusion is...

But that would take the fun out of the thread.... The newbies should still read the Compendium first though, which most don't do.

True, but it just makes it easier to explain why it has a "Y" at the end of it. I could have very well used "Army" but hey, I honestly don't care. There also is this note: http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...pacy/index.html So in a sense, yes, I can get away with calling a "Space Navy" (since all I was doing was explaining the "y" in SPACY, but i could have also used Space Army)

As I said, noted are......(see previous post). There may be an Army but they have yet to be mentioned in any official publications. Who knows..... A little of column A and a little of column B. As I see it, there are factions (I don't see an actual central authority among the Anti-UN but I don't seem them as just terrorists cells since they have a distinct military discpline surrounding them). In the Americas, they are probably dealing with guerillas (like the ones in Guatamala back in the day). In the Pacific/Atlantic and in Eurasia (and perhaps Australia), the UN is probably facing a much more organized group. I can't really make out the situation in the Middle East/Africa. This is conjecture, of course. The basis for this answer is from scenes in M0 and the Compendium.

Think "Navy". Get it? The "y" at the end? http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...pacy/index.html No. There are other branches of the UN Armed Forces. Noted are: UNS - UN Spacy (Space Navy, get it now????) UNAF - UN Air Force UNN - UN Navy UNSAF- UN Space Air Force UNSM- UN Space Marines http://www.anime.net/macross/story/glossary/index.html

For that, you'll need to ask Mikimoto. How many kills? Too many....
