that's cool, i mean no one wants them to say change gerwalk mode. and i can understand the whole retooling of the design, i actually like the dyrl design when it comes to transformations, it makes it look better, but i was just wondering in an "real world" stand point as to why one manuever could do 2 totally different things, but i honestly if you think about it, in the heat of battle during an intense dog fight, i am quite sure i would be a pain in the ass to have to turn a nob or flip a lever, when one movement can do both.

i was aware that the robotech books have nothing to do with macross, although i wouldn't call them garbage, it is just a seperate universe with a lot of the same concepts, if you read it as that it is actually decent, i never thought of them as the same though i know better, i was curios that's all, but yes for flying i understand, but there has been many of times when they transform on all the sequels and prequels were all the do is lift the lever or lower the lever and push or pull it back and the valk changes. they did it in m+, m0, and dyrl, and you never really see if there is another switch or button pushed.

What's up all, i have a question, i don't think it is considered newbie, seeing as how i am not to the macross universe, but after reading many posts, i have realized that my knowledge is nothing now compared to most of yours. and so i ask, i remember reading a post about the diffeerences of the transformation levers, as how in macross dyrl, and everything since it is just two "joysticks" if you will the proper terminology escapes me, while in the series it was nobs, and levers depending on the mode at the time. now my question is exactly how would the mecha differentiate in dyrl the difference of transformation, because if you are in battriod mode and you fold the stick to the right and push forward, you can either be in gerwalk or fighter, how does that work? at least in the series it was better explained as every mode had it's own designated lever, or nob, although it may not be as practicle. or maybe they are using the robotech novels theory that by using your helmet you can tell the mech what you want to do, any explainations
