    What you said MD..
  2. Bolt
    I've always taken it for granted that Macross would not follow the shmaltzy Gundam route..
  3. Bolt
    I'm not sure if this has been covered before.. Any more info on the Variable Fighter Master File VF-19 Excalibur Operation "Phantom Sword"?
  4. Bolt
    Perhaps an SV style ..taking out other VF's..? without much consideration for improved armor, of course..

    Just an interesting note. In the final battle of the False Songstress, Brera operating the VF-27 does have Alto (in the VF-29) dead in his sights. He's locked on but doesn't fire as Rankas song is affecting him. He then breaks the implant hold (with the help of Rankas song) on himself and busts into Battle Frontier whereupon he blasts the crap out of the cyber humans(??) controlling Battle Frontier and merging it with the Queen Vajra..also killing himself..

    Thank you for the info! Very informative and much appreciated ! I need to delve more into AARON's translations , all this info leads me to more questions..

    Ah so.. From that standpoint, it seems the VF-25 could simply have been upgraded a la.. And had a much longer service life , like the F-14 Tomcat of our yesteryears. (A great fighter is hard to retire!) Just add on the ordinance container to the Messiah!

    This leaves me with the impression that the VF-31 is not phenomenally better in performance than the VF-25 and only out classes it in armaments and control systems. Better fold capabilities too.

    Reading from Sketchley's translations (an invaluable resource !) came acemrosd this in the description of the YF-30 Chronos development.. "At the time of this aircraft's development, in addition to existing technology, it's said that parts collected from the Protoculture ruins on the planet(Ouroboros?), and the protective weapons that guard the ruins, were also inserted into the YF-30." do we know which "parts" and "protective" weapons being spoken of?

    Ah so.. That's theRod version , I believe. Lovely machine. Mans so the VF-27 doesn't come close to the YF-29? also , what about the Spectacular VF-19EF/A "Isamu special"? It (he) seemed to be ripping it up in the final frontier battle and it also apparently outmaneuver the VF-25 Messiah. Pitted against the YF-29? Bear in mind not all pilots are equal ..
  11. Bolt
    So the VF-27 (with cyborg pilot) isn't in there? Interesting. I don't think I've seen the YF-29B variant.. i also assumed that the YF-30 was the direct parent of the VF-31. And therefore also assumed it was up to par(or close) with the YF-29..

    Ultimately , it's probably best the fate of Megaroad-01 is a mystery. It's fun to conjecture and as long as we get the occasional clue or teaser, than would be just fine. I do see the benefits of tying the threads together in Macross. All these stand alone stories are somewhat well connected. Aside from the "Lady M" bomb (dud) that got dropped in Delta, the threads in that particular story were pretty thin..
  13. Bolt
    Absolutely ! so long as I get MACROSS!

    Based on how poorly the crew of SD-F1 was treated, (specifically the governing councils refusal to follow Misa and Glovals requests following their report at Alaska base, amongst other instances ). I can't help but wonder how she would have handled governing or influencing what would eventually become NUNS. How would certain protocols and agendas be different..? Like I've joked before, I'm sure if Megaroad-01 suddenly showed up, they'd be cleaning house.

    I have a small collection of Macross resin kits and Mokoto Kobayashi Dragons Heavens (some Chinese recasts), as well. And I love them! I do consider any resin kits to be somewhat rare in that they require a lot of love , usually, and patience. And also because they're not really main stream. I too prefer well designed, well built toys as they can handle repeated handling and showing off. But the modeler in me just loves the resin stuff!

    RIP to an icon.
  17. Bolt
    Very cool ! I love all the extra content that Macross generates. As a side note, I can hardly believe it's been 10 years since Frontier..
  18. Bolt
    Well summarized ! There are a few plots and twists in Macross F that didn't get enough attention (for me), so thanks for filling in the gaps!
  19. Bolt
    That follows a certain logic , no doubt. Maybe , one day . We will find out.. I'm glad you liked Delta!
  20. Bolt
    Sounds ambitious and exciting!
  21. Bolt
    I understand. And Macross Zero?
  22. Bolt
    Very descriptive, I can hear it! But! Certainly doesn't qualify as MACROSS. (Hence the capital letters) bastardizations don't count So I'll stick to my earlier statement.
  23. Bolt
    Haha! Ya, I think I know who you mean.. How could Kawamori San possible write something even remotely about transforming jet robots and not feel the tug of Macross destiny!? I don't think either, as well..but I'm very curious.
  24. Bolt
    Gonna try to cover two birds with one stone here. Concerning Macross Plus and Macross Zero, did either one of those OVAs have a pre existing manga or hobby magazine story or feature? I'm pretty familiar with all of the content and merchandise after the fact, but what (if any) stiories or , specific mecha designs were out there before these became animation magic?
  25. Bolt
    I'd like to borrow that term for a different context please..
