If they ever do another serial, once they finish Vigorously thrusting upon the dead corpse of MF, if i was god & wanted to make $ as well as good story, i'd want to see more fleet vs fleet combat, where one group of humanity has returned to its base habits of prey & covetting another's possessions or resources. Basically a repeat of perhaps what ended the protoculture's rein of power. certainly very simular themes have been played out in Gundam, Battletech, even Star Wars & Star trek to more or less a fashion.

perhaps, as a nod to battletech, being that former friendly assets of the NUNS attack earth? and to see which colonies of earth take sides?

And two minutes after I post this, Exo shows me this site: http://valkyrie2.cloud-line.com/ Which says:

since when is the method of later VF's transformation anything like origami? i like the site but it started to stray from being useful to a rant quickly as you read sections of it...

%$#@ SiFi. With a stick.

like i said, the a$$hat was talking for a moment... anyway, that was your cue for insight, Talos. I b*tched, you corrected. (That's &^%$ing Team work!)

Oh, now you've done it... just you watch, a year from now that'll be their next big merchandising innovation: Robotech toilet paper.

*sings* Robo-Teeech! To-whip-your-Bumm-Clean!

From the August issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine:

Jaw drops. WOW. Ok, elitist mode on. Not enough tie-down chains, should have probably at least a 6 to 10 chains, spread out from the nose gear & main mounts. annnnnnd the Towbar should be painted white and have some kinda of labeling (a Serial Number at least, usually 6-digits). Totally dig the flip down/flip up panelling to the engines & related hydraulics (got a very FA-18E/F vib). yeah...

for anyone without actually flight deck experiance, you'd probably sh*t yourself at the awesomeness of that diorama. 9.8 outta 10.0, minimum!

Likewise... it's a stylistic clusterf*ck of elements from several different previous VFs that just do not work well together. I'd much rather see Alto stick to flying his VF-25F Tornado Messiah or the VF-171EX Nightmare Plus than have that horrid thing take center stage. There's ugly and then there's ugly... and being a mishmash of conflicting design elements from the SV-51, VF-19, VF-25, and VF-27 firmly puts the YF-29 in the ugly category, IMO. I have a sneaking suspicion that the YF-29's the main Macross continuity's answer to the Metal Siren... a painfully ugly and painfully overpowered prototype pressed into combat in extremis at the climax of the movie.

I'll second that emotion...

3rd. Its a gimmick to us to spend $ & and to dry hu... articulate in pelvis gesture, as much $ as they can from the Macross Frontier Property. In terms of company vs company, is Macross trying at least to keep up with the Gundam merchantdicing machine?

most folks seem to agree on one thing that comes to bear upon Sci-Fi channels general change from science fiction story telling to... something else entirely. Or as i comment on another forum, they dont have a *&^%$# *&^%(*& clue what the &^%* good shows are anymore. regardless of production issues, its the still SiFy's fault they drive one TV after another into the dirt... /rant off.

The model kits guys made it for $, Valhary.

In the scant couple dozen of Vf-0 air frames, probably only 1 or 2 were made. if not for the canards on the engine intake nacelles of the VF-0D (stupid grebble to add to the design imho), then any of the airframes could be made into a Deltawing. The removal of the tailerons on the 0D is even dumber since, in real world terms as a example, the FA-18's tail is filled with fuel too. in a gas guzzler like the 0 series, id keep the tailerons (one less thing to have to remove during any mod between swing-wing & deltawing)...

of course im just talking out of my a$$hat. :/

OK, That makes me very... mecharosed. So is this book written up like a 'Janes' book for the VF-1?

Olivia Wilde as Yoko/Alita/Gally, anyone?

so what the verdict? Will the current holders of the Macross poperty EVER go back to bring thier merchandice to the US? Do they or have they offered any offcial or unoffical distain to Harmony Gold?

*Jaw drops* They are offering the revoltech macross products... on RT.com?

i guess they made consessions in the terms of merchandicing at least. that's surprising...

looked at the info section for Macross. Noticed that they use the original desinations, ie defender, Tomahawk instead of the PB names. of course, the term Veritech is used.

After looking at RT.com for more than 10 min... i feel soiled. i'm gonna go watch some pr0n on youpr0n now...

Hey! don't forget this...

wow, how Neon Genesis Evangelian...

Talos, are you certain of the size of the VF-0D's head camera module? not only does it seem huge compared to the VF-0A, but it's size also makes its beam barrel directly in line with the line-of-fire from the GU-9 gunpod. I thought the 0D's camera was basically a variant of the 0A's?

so WTF does this thread mean? i get the confusing vibe that either it's supposed to be a real ride (like a F-16 sim or something simular you might see at an actual airshow) or its just uber fluff for a model kit bash to the extreme. 'plaination for the confused halfling, please? o.O

*smiggle* I wonder if this Seabee has a EAWS pin? If ever the bones goes green, you could have at least put em on the correct carrier & airwing [AG/CVW-7]

wow. i actually thought of my boat in complimentary terms. Clearly retirement has effected my judgement

still seabee5051, it looks gorgious as a model, regardless of the decals... lol 'Get er done'

The VF-11 Thunderbolt. it's the first VF to incorperate the forearm shield (used for various reasons) even the YF-21/22 & uses something like it (the taileron's serving as half-shields in effect)...

Don't forget to acquire a mastery of the English language, including spelling and proper punctuation.

i suppose older age is my escuse (i know what i was thinking, just didnt type it out, LoL)

It wasn't rape ladies. It was Assault. Rape inplies unwanted sexual acts, that involve SEX. Macross + was mecha, not hentai... He beat the sh*t outta Isamu and started raging on Myune. Could it have ended as Assault & Rape? Only if that mirror wasn't there, right behind Myune...

i think we should put this question to bed, ladies. Doesn't matter in the scope of things, only will matter i get god powers and decree that Macross will be made into Live-Action, with 5 seasons, one season for each series, hour long episodes so that stories that were rushed or vague can be fleshed out (in the case of M+ and Zer0, a lot of fleshing & imbelishment)...

There is absolutely no way Myung would have "anything" to do with Myung if he raped her. The answer lies in the reason why Guld is on meds, he's prone to extreme rages. Guld was in love with Myung, already jealous of Isamu, and when he saw the two of them together, he went absolutely batshit & went all "hulk smash" on them. Yes he ripped Myungs shirt, but (I think) clearly stops his attack when he see's himself in the mirror.

I honestly don't see how anyone would believe that 1: Myung would sleep with Guld later, let alone put any degree of trust in him, or 2: Isamu wouldn't have killed him right then and there, instead of leaving Myung alone with him as he joined the military.

I agree, he just went batshit... and later felt so much shame that he misremembered the event, to the point of making Isamu the fall guy... Guld is 1st generation zent, a people still greatly getting a gripe on Deculture, thier natural inclenation to violence first before rational thought. He punchs Isamu, he grabs at Myune's shirt, tearing it dramatically for the camera, before looking in the mirror and seeing the monster that he is or could be. Isamu & Myune, BY NOT REPORTING THIS ASSAULT, uphold their love and friendship (because, you gotta admit, Isamu is a total apeface at times) for Guld. Both of them know, first hand, how hard it is for Guld (which is why Guld almost snears when he's talking to Isamu during the gliding scene, because he feels contempt for people feeling sorry for him BECAUSE of his genetics)....

Ah yes, the new VF-1D head... I remember when I first got Macross Ace and saw that. It was a really interesting design, partially since I always thought the old head was ugly as sin. Awhile ago I used the sketches in the back of Macross the First tankobon vol 1 to add the head in to the VF-1D I was drawing at the time. It came out pretty well, I think. I did up two color side views for Mr March's site, which allows a comparison here with the TV-style VF-1D side view he already had.

Virgin Road MtF-style VF-1D, just because it turned out awesome

are you gonna edit those images with the Hull Number (102) & UN Spacy? hmmm? hmm? i'm ploting a cruise jacket with one of those side profiles.... *drools*

Not really...

TU! *glances and drools* it IS a marked improvement... it make me think that the camera module (the square eyes), that hole module pivots up & down)

can some pull up a scan of the VF-1D head mentioned earlier in this thread? does it more look like the VF-0 series?

I'm all for a more "adult" feel for the next instalment but maybe they would miss the ideal anime demographic if they go that way. I've read that Macross Plus was not very popular in Japan when it was released and by the lack of posts on it, I feel it very well may also be the case in this forum.

for the record, i LOVED M+, TU very much.../

+1 for Ghost Train's sediments...

Personally I'd like a run in with a Supervision Army fleet somewhere near the center of the Galaxy...

in the previous TV series that's been out to even discuss the Protocultures, have they even mentioned the Supervision Army or the Inspection Forces? this subject is like Lucusfilms junk: they made it up as they went along... in some cases, discarding somethings...

did the SA & IF go away as well as to simply be replaced with the Zentradi/Meltrani serving the Protocultures, per DYRL (they can't be one & the same since the concept predates DYRL)... when they made up the SA & IF, what was their real-world insperation at that time (1980-81?) The US & USSR, perhaps?
