Once you go stick and cheap rudder you never fly by keyboard again.

seriously you can pick up a flight model

quickshot joystick for around 30$ which is basically

an old thrustmaster knock off(change the springs with hose sprinkler set springs)

or even the old topgun from thrustmaster , they should be around the same price by now.

The old phoenix joystick is barely satisfactory

with throttles anything is satisfactory.

Manuevers become fun.. Personally I am still looking for an old model CH

products throttle. one throttle made of 2 sliders for

each engine used best for 2engine prop pusher flightmodels

like a mosquito or lightning

(the L model is my favorite dogfight craft)IT looks similar

to the one in a Vf cockpit.(can't rememer the model number)

Cyclone by any chance does this contain all the removed scenes and dialogue

that was removed when turned into robotech???

More correctly is this the version of macross

that actually had english voice actors?

Though not as great as the original voice actors.

I know some time back a version was floating around of Macross

in English and got to see the english version when I

was work rostered to the Fillippine Islands up in Manila around '85

All valid points. As long as megatron's size as a robot is comparable to prime as

a MP piece then as a gun or tank it should not matter.

The cops must be smoking weed if they take a guy with

an oversized gun that has a glassless scope and oversized

barrel extension and cumbersome stock seriously.

The main selling point for me getting a mp prime was

his uncanny resemblance to that of the cartoon.

(the old comic version had yellow eyes for prime..

other versions of G-1 prime had a "mouth" lacking

his face plate drawn almost like an xmen character,organic)

If megatron was based as a gun, then IT would be wise

to make him look like the cartoon, even just in robot mode.

Shockwave as an MP big pistol would fit as long as he has

all the trimmings of his G-1 toy counterpart plus more LEDS

like in the eye or as a gun.

As with autobots I guess the alternators are great, though

things like sideswipes new transformation needs a little adjusting to

(the way he transforms seems more suited to his brother "sunstreaker"

who has his chest as part of the windshield and roof of the car)

Personally the Binaltech hound looks close to his old self

except as a jeep wrangler.(perhaps chop off the doors,remove

the rollcage..pait a star on the front mud guard and presto)

IF ever they made a MP or alternator bumblebee

it should look like bumblebee in the series as a robot,

they can get away making him a new style volkswagon.

I coul live with that.

Also with gestalts, In the past I have seen

takara make huge non transformer toys that combine

into something much bigger than anything from

bandai's Power Rangers(which I happily pass up.)

It shouldn't be too in concievable to release at least

one or two of earlier gestalts or if it is cheaper for

one robot a Large fortress transformer?

Wait a minute didn't we see thundercracker, skywarp, bumblee bee

and possibly wheeljack or jazz in the old cybertronian vehicle modes?

Not sure about megs? anyone read the old marvel comics? I think

there were a few pics on who transforms to what in the first few issues?

(will someone confirm that?? My whole collection got pinched when I moved house)

I mean does anyone here have a complete listing of what autobots are gonna be up

as alternators or masterpiece??

A logical assumption would be an equal amount of decepticons vresus

autobots if ever they made remakes?

Fully articulate constituent transformers that make up gestalt transformers

would also be nice I mean like a menasor with an "actual" movable head

or any of the aerialbots able to bend their ams or knees

I agree with megs as a good piece to even out prime/convoy

If not megs, what about galvatron as not to offend the "gun" size "officionados"?

Pity takara may not pay attention to as us much as yamato may on these forums?

(or can someone correct me on this..)

which pic of which thru is this??

i gotta go to Japan without my gal.

(she prevents me going to toy stores.. most of the time shopping for girl stuff with me carrying her stuf

f. )

thanx guys..

abrams or merkava you pick what looks best to run over civilians

that would suit megs if His gun could fire.

good idea guys on the desert eagle with scope, it would be possible

to make him look close to his old self in robot mode,be great if he is

chromed.

Hmm omega supreme,tripticon or metroplex MP..

A 1/48 elint seeker would be nice.

good point mentioned. bandai should get off their laurels

and produce new VF-1 s.

Is this the original paintjob or a custom valk??

Krusty the clown would love to pilot this baby.

well I apologise to Takara and all those who hate my guts, If I did something wrong

Tell me so I won't do it again..

I know this ain't macross related but just curious that is all.

Dont Mind if megatron was upgraded even to a .44 Automag even an over sized walter p38 it is fine by me.

(maybe those add on parts can be used somehow to contribute to his height)

personally I'd like meg's eyes to light up

an evil red glow, that would be most deserving.

(did shockwave have his eye glow in the old toy release?)

As with other decepticons, starscream would be logical alternative

It would be great as long as he can bend his l

legs in jet mode like in the cartoon.(sorta gerwalk like)

Soundwave as a "real" mini cassette player would be awesome to behold,

battery operated of coz.

(nice pics king nor, do you by any chance know a guy called charles peralta on deviant?)

ok the MP convoy/Optimus Prime and a few re done autobots/cybertrons have been released isn't It about time they make

Decepticons/destrons???

even just a MP megatron would be great..

If they do make large hands then that is ok, personally

I'd like the idea of spare hands with movable fingers

a slight re design of yamatos VF hands where the pinky

and index finger is bent more uniformly to the other fingers

sorta like fingers on some gundam hands or like was said earlier

the Convoy masterpiece collection hands.

(or even like those toynami Vf hands if all else

is not considered)

where is rainbow 10's url, I'd be interested in them too

what older browsers does your forum support? I couldn't seem to register properly with my netscape 3.0???

I am interested in swaping painting tips

Thanx evil Monkey.. Hope they release it soon.

I still use my old Thrustmaster and cheap "topgun" joystick.

Not as good as the f16 hotas stick but servicable.(even without rudder pedals.)

If they do make a good conversion for falcon, they should include

a map editor and at least a glaug to pilot if ever a death match version ever arose.

anyone got the URL HL mod for macross? is it any good?

still looking for the flight unlimited valk add on..

does anyone here have instructions on how to dissasemble the upper leg of the yamato 1/48? My valks legs sorta became real stiff to move and I just found out that a bit of the rubber things are protruding out of the legs. I need to get at that inside leg assembly holds the balls of that T section inside the upper legs.

Con me a huge scale eva 01 eating someone (Perhaps mark it Macros plus......)

can youguys direct me to a place that still stocks Imai 1/48 orguroids?

Maybe they discounted Masterpiece Convoy due to his lack of "trailer"

I am not sure If Yamato will take us fans Living out of Japan, even If we constitute a loyal portion as consumers. (even if many of us may morgage the house to get their attention)

I'd like to put yes but I put No

What a scream, Congrats on conning us all

Got any pics of the eva 01 eating a regult (or a zentadi?)

If they do make a 1/60 version that would be good for any collector but I ain't getting anymore valks in that scale if the legs need to be removed when transforming.

Wonder if yamato will want to release a VF-1S low vis version let alone the re release the Low vis Vf-1A?

Nice to hear that there is another flight simmer out there.

Falcon 4.0 is cool but I am more a Prop pusher guns only nut myself. There was a post a few month ago regarding somone modifying the wing commander engine To using valks but can't remember the page.

someone also made one for flight unlimited but forgot the link.

can anyone ther help us out on all three queries?

I am up for one, can he do custom jobs to specification too?

Perhaps for macross pluss something that shows gulds and isamu's rivalry I dunno maybe one shot outline of half of Isamu's face the other half of guld or something??

Curious, Do we have any pics of what might become of the VF-1 series "classic" form?
