Looks like you have more trust in this company than all of us here. But that's just you. When was the last time you saw any company do the honorable thing? And considering ADV is middle-man in all of this (HG is using their video facilities, their reproduction house, etc), I'll leave them out of the picture for the moment. But that's just me.

People are a little slow Roy. I think you need a big sign that says "NO FREE TALK/OFF-TOPIC SECTION HERE".

Exactly.... This just really shows how badly you can milk a product to the point where the cow is all bones. With my boot...up HG's ass.

Yes. The key to this is that the Fz-109 and the Az-130 are essentially the same design. Just as the Fz-109 was a derivative of the VF-14 design, the Az-130 is a derivative of the VA-14. The transformation of the 2 are exactly the same. The only difference is the look of the 2 fighters. Kawamori designed the VF-14 and the VA-14. But the VA-14 is just a re-designed VF-14. The Az-130 is just a redesigned VA-14. So it all stems from the VF-14, which Kawamori designed.

I don't consider the "YF-1R" a "Valkyrie", so .

This is probably something for the newbie thread and I suggest you go there as there are a whole bunch of links that will answer lots of questions. No tapes. Only DVDs. Shop around online stores. http://www.animeigo.com In a way, yes the wedding sequence was removed due to time/production constraints. There were a few more sequences originally planned for DYRL?. However, they ended on the cutting room floor. The original series has not been removed from the official canon. For all purposes, we use the TV series for content. For looks, we use DYRL?. However, I should let Egan Loo explain it. http://www.anime.net/macross/

Mines is coming with a larger order. I pre-ordered back in...August???

That is, as much popularity as a Macross series can get, compred to other popular mecha shows.

More or less....

Gotta please that sick fanboy in all of us.....But really, Mao is 11 years old....Wasn't Sara good enough for you people? And she's 16, or do we really need to do fan service for Mao as well?

GONZA Digimation did the sequence for the 20th Anniversary disc. Satelight is doing M0's CG sequences.

A week of silence....RUINED!!!!!

Considering the VF-0's engines.......nope.

First question: Probably. However, if you look at it in fighter mode, if the gunpod was extended in fighter mode, it would stick out a bit. Heck, that gunpod sticks out a bit anyways. 2nd question: Extended. (courtesy of Graham)

Admit it. You know you made a bid on it.

Hate to make this old news but I believe we had a thread on this a bit back....

I surprised you haven't been banned already for even suggesting the idea. Probably someone who doesn't get the hint....

Just a note, look at would be the VT-1C's packs in MD7 (or the lineart).

Well, you also have to count for the fact that he's posting/reproducing material on the site. That alone probably causes him enough grief.

The history was rewritten back when M+/M7 was done so I'd hardly call it a contridiction. http://www.anime.net/macross/feedback/index.html The VF-X and the VF-X-1 are still there. What's the problem? http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...1999/index.html The VF-X was the first prototype. The VF-X-1 was the transformable prototype. The VF-0 was the first trial production fighter. To put it in a larger perspective, the VF-0 is the VF-1, minus a few things. It's still a prototype to the VF-1 because it's still a test fighter. Because everybody knows the "Valkyrie". The VF-1 was the first fighter ever to be produced and seen by the public. It is also the first fighter that was mass produced in large quantities. As to be top secret, again, nothing is wrong. The VF-1 was never displayed in it's other modes to the general public. VF-1 series [scheduled to] begin deployment for actual combat. (However, usage is to have been limited to Fighter mode only.) Who are the Mayans' going to tell about this transforming plane? Humm? They are in the middle of the Pacific, isolated from the rest of the world. Not to mention they are quite bound together by their religious beliefs. Their not the only deeply religious people out there in the world who are so deep into their religion that they create stories to explain things. Hell, the top secret thing was used in SDF Macross so it's not new. ... You know what?. Keith or anybody else can handle the rest. I'm not going to waste my time in this thread as it's going nowhere.

Won't it be easier to just point to this thread? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=28&t=2197

That one. Think of the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek.

About Asuka-II. We don't know. It could have. It couldn't have. The same could be said about the Prometheus. It was based at South Ataria so how come it didn't go? There are a lot of ships in the Pacific (the Illustria being another carrier in the Pacific). We really don't know where Asuka-II's home port is. On how many VF-0's there are in a squadron. As many as they could fit? Squadron sizes vary. The VF-1 hierarchy shows as many as 15 fighters to 1 tactical wing. But then you need to include support craft, etc, etc, etc. Then consider that all the VF-0's on Asuka-II are part of Skull.... Not necessarily. There may have just been 4 VF-0S's produced. Those 3 additional VF-0S's may just serve the role that the VF-1J served later. Perhaps Roy felt a higher calling and joined the UN forces instead of the US military, unlike Shin.

There is a shot of the 1A using Strike packs on the 20th Anniversary disc. So I would say Strike packs are more dependent on mission specifics and or squad specifications (Similar to how M16's w/M203 grenade launchers are assigned to squads). Also there are FAST packs which can be used in atmosphere (besides just the leg packs). These can be seen on the VF-11 in M7. Although those are much more streamlined compared to the normal VF-11 FAST packs.
