Thx for the pics! I thk i spy panel line markings above the 05 marking on the legs now that might be a future landing gear chamber... From these closer pics, yeah i think its more prototype than finished... just based on the jagged edges on the head unit parts and some rough edges on the fins..

Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
seti88 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
+1 on the fill-in...thats one of the way to keep the series going based on the original premises...gundam has thunderbolt going for it now... in fact i would mind watching a backstory involving the VF-11's in a more prominent role -
Now, the only thing to look out for is how bad the damaged box is....hopefully nothing too bad ....i went the slow route, so can only check in few weeks time...
-
Will just take a guess and ask if it was the damaged box listing from ami.. if you dont mind me asking that is...

RIP one of the greats....

There maybe a chance on feb 7 during the winter wonderfest to see if there will an updated 31 prototype! http://tamashii.jp/special/macross/ Watch this space then!
-
whoa i wouldnt joke if it was a real hornet on the back!
-
Am not too sure about that although it may seem logical. The ghosts in the episode cound rotate, hence requiring a attachment point that could rotate with it as well. The wingtips of the drakens should be able to rotate. Boy talk abt potential stress points! btw, i could not see it clearly in the episode if the wing tips also rotated or somehow its just the ghost body that did..

The lines below the cockpit seem more like panel-lining rather than an actual hatch. The area in concern was more towards the legs where traditionally the wheel bays are, and are pretty much obvious in battroid mode. Am not sure how old those picture shots where but referencing 1. the last akiba dsiplay and2. the promo shots in the mag, http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43115&page=14 I dont see much hatches anywhere. Maybe its well concealed, kudos to bandai. And also if it is still a prototype, it sure is a good looking one! Otherwise....hmmm...
-
Thanks saitou! Picked up an extra via ami...
-
That radome's gonna need some bandai magic!
-
it matches the 0s colors and looks like there is a deadly hornet on roy's back
-
@noel ok so it can be fixed with some tape...will put the old ghost set back on my radar now... @wmkjr WOAH! nice paint job...
-
Noel, those weapon pods on the wing seem quite secure in battroid mode. Did you do anything to secure them to the pegs? I recall the connections were a bit loose for the old ghost/new 0 combo..

Hmm i gather that the 31 is way past prototype and is almost ready to go. From the akiba exhibit sure looks done...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFDP7DDrR8k But anyway i brought that up in the 31 thread, so wont discuss the 31 too much here... It occured to me that the draken maybe in the same situation. Yes, the highlight you did could be an indicator of landing bays on the draken. 1. However if you try to imagine it, thats a heck of a fold-away assembly into the bay, which not to mention the bay would need to be very deep indeed. 2. And with such long landing gear at that position, it would look more like flying saucer landing pads, and i duno how i like that on the draken. 3. I suspect the front bays are more for the hip joints to lock into the fuselage in battroid mode, due to the size and shape. I dont think front landing gears are that huge... Those are my thoughts...i actually had them while lying in bed last night! oh yea and to answer your question on why now, you have to admit battroid looks nicer if you dont see openings for landing gears on the legs. It could be a design aesthetic after years of visible door bays. Or like i said its breaking new ground for a new series. I was just wondering due to the lack of parked on the ground valk pics, plus the size of the underneath gunpod...
-
The solid structure of the legs in the 31 is a clue of missing landing gears. No hatch openings anywhere....i suspect that to be the case too in the drakens. Seeing at how Delta is going into areas some deem non-macross'y', it would be no biggie if landing gears arent needed anymore. With walkure's having glowing abilities for them to fly around, maybe the pilots dont even need to climb into the valks, just float into them while parked in gerwalk...lol...
-
i think arcadia is breathing a huge sigh of relief now..... OD, 0A, 0S fortunately the third 0 was not a strike three... As per the upcoming 0CF, i probably will wait for more variant types...or i wouldnt mind the SV51s now arcadia!! or also the ghosties...
-
I have a nagging feeling landing gears will be passe in delta's era somehow. This is due to lack of wheel bay doors (or it seems well hidden) on the 31's, and cant really see one below the nose of the 262 either. The fact that 262s gunpod is huge, even with gunpod wings folded, would mean any wheels would be extra long and be a problem to tuck away in a toy. Perhaps valks in delta will stand rocket launcher style ala M0, in a hanger.

Mine is still in the box with the wrapping bubble on! Will open it one day....
-
Same here...am silently digging the tie fighter similarity the more i see it... ooops altho i gotta say i still anticipate with baited breath on the draken...
