what terms should i use to search You Tube for this?

Nice pictures but his reteric makes me take a pass....

can someone translate the caption on the second page about the VF-1D flying over South Atara island?

This might be old topiciy but at the beginning of the intro, you see the icon for Megaroad-01 going one way and Macross-F (or was that M-fortier?) going the other. watching that, i'm pretty sure Megaroad-01 plays nothing with the current series... and on the side topic of HG and property's... the intor for MF also used the POV's from DYRL. that also was intentional too. if MF was ever brought over to the US, it has less to do with SDFM... the possiblities... legally that is...

you forget the stone VF-1 on the pedestals at the flight center, sir... when we first meet Alto & gang...

Certainly not without some unknown hostility, considering the Varja actively Head Hunted every VF they engaged. (though maybe, possible some pilots could have punched out, though ejecting into space around a exploding aircraft makes me more to think any SAR attemps will find vaccum exposed dead pilots regardless. we could hope Froaty Head has been watching BSG for inspiration) if the Varja are somehow related to Megaroad-01, certainly they not human anymore...

That was early in Episode 4, when it was clear UN Spacy was lossing ground. The VF-2SS took damage during transformation and was stuck almost in Battroid mode. the Male Power then ripped front and back main assemblies. my favorite in MACII was later that episode when a single VF-2SS was overwhelmed, pleading for backup before a Female Power Suit, first crushed his Head Camera, then kicked the cockpit in, causing it to explode.

/me Casts Minor Necro Thread One Questions you think about on watch, part 171: How many Flight-Hours does a typical VF have? I'm talking about the Airframe itself, how long can a typical VF remain in service before being retired to the perverbial Bone Yards in Nevada ?

Ten cents, they call it Valkyrie II... what better way to distance Mac II to the side of obsurity, as well pay homage to what makes zhe $... unless they can't, legally (input info plz?)

Are there any MW members currently (1) Serving in Japan or Okinowa (2) Have a Japanesse Cell Phone & (3) Live off base? I doubt they would count the BEQ or a Ship's APO address but it couldn't. Graham? I know your always in that part of the world, can you partiapate?

MAC 2 is a poor example for merchantdising since the only official product i ever seen of it was the 1/100 scale VF-2SS w/SAP model kit. I personally never saw anything else (other than a Perfect Memory book of MAC2)

Dude, this is going from homage to retread... though oddly i'm giddy none the less...

If you detailed the model a bit (more black lines, maybe a few rubbing decals of NASCAR or the like, you could make that pic superimposed looked very real though the focus and light on it needs to be more like the outside. that was the 1st hint of photo editng... but nice!

Why is that the manga is deviating from the episode? (The fact that Gillion is killed/crushed) (my thinking is the age group that the magazine is published for? young teens?)

/me takes a realllllllly deep breath..... Macross!! Hmm.... not enough base... Mac-ru-oss! hmm..... Oh i know! I need Badgers! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! (Macross-Macross!!) Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! (Macross-Macross!!) Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!! (Macross-Macross!!) ZOMG! Deculture!! Macross!! Macross!! Macross!!.... etc... what was i talking about.... OH, yeah. Macross... Uh is there any other info about the fleets, anything else being discussed or thinked to death about in the Japanesse forums? my curiousness is towards SMS itself. is it the 'Blackwater' of Macross (since a lot of the elements seen in recent anime mirror current events and personas/organizations)? when the scene shifts from the SMS crew lounge to the bridge setting, was that bridge the CIC of SMS or NUNS? was that another ship? or onboard one of the Islands... it's not implied where Osma (sp?) and Gillian deployed FROM during the sequence... /me eyes mark with evil, mischieft laden eyes? Is it ok to say i'm REALLY ZOMG excited for this spring viewing season... but here's a thought. the show will air this spring. what are the odds YOUTUBE all be vigilent in squashing Fansubs of the episodes (other than segments of any particular episode, like the FX portions of some Star Trek remasters seen on Youtube...

Is the city in City-1 supposed to be a recreation of San Fransisco? During the battle, from one POV it does appear that one of the streets slops downwards and when you first see Alto hovering and witnessing the intial damage from the shield shell debre hitting the city below, you can see a bridge that looks suspiciously familiar.... but then again, one of the supporting chara is a, ahem.... 'Happy Camper' so it fits (and not that's there is nothing wrong with that..., LOL) /me shushs up now.

Ok Artists. I came up with a doozy idea while on Post this evening. Using the Hazigawa Fighter & Battroid VF-1 scans from the 1/72 Models (the instruction art, not the packaging art) as a base line, come up with what the VF-1 would look like, using design cues from ol-whats-his-face's other, later designs. Retro the VF-1 to compare better to the VF-0 and perhaps later VF's... Nothing radical mind you, just come with ideas of what the VF-1 should look like, assuming the cannon reset button was pushed lightly. Round One! Fight!

I think the first thing i saw of macross was it's model kits. At Wing's Hobby Shop in Lakewood, Oh I saw the 1/72 Battroid VF-1J. Saw some of the other 1/72 scale Destroids (perhaps the only time, too since then i have had only seen the various repackagings of the 1/100 scale lineup). I was a welp, put it together and probably destroyed it just as quick. that was in '83 or '84... Then i saw two items, that did wonders to me. First was the Robotech line by revel, Axoid and Vexar (the 1/72 VF-1J & S Varible kits, the gold standard for all model kits of coolness). Not a clue what they were actually (i didn't make the connection with these kits and the previous 'white toy'. I think i also got theses from Wings... BUT. on a rare chance to Toys-R-Us or some other toy store brand in Great Northern Mall in North Olmstead, i saw the 1/200 scale Pitabans. Totally cheesy but it was the ARTWORK, Gorgious artwork. I was always going there when i had a chance to see if new ones were on the shelves in the back... It wasn't until '86 when Robotech began airing on WUAB-43, back when it was more local, non-network. they aired the good stuff like The Ghoul Show and such. Wow. I was soooooooo hooked. and see the fighters and looking at my pitabans and Robotech models, i started to see a pattern... pretty much after that, i started to learn more about it... but that's another story. Round Two. Fight!

Maybes, maybes Not. Think about this. Why did we even see SDFM mecha in M7? From what i've read and seen of the series, the mecha was owned by retired UNS personnel, right? All those civilianized VF-1's and Destroids... thought i really doubt they would let a old 'Monster' Crew keep a fully functional HWR. Millia (and i suppose Max) kept thier VF-1J's under the same agreement, though fully functional (possibly up to date avionics or motors? pointly to speculate thier on such a silly series) because of thier political clout. mayhaps some MF citizens have demilled VF's of what ever flavor the TOY and MODEL makers might be willing to invest in? ....because remember, what we see is what they might MAKE, as a toy or model. Why did they update the VF-171 from a VF-17? perhaps the current owners of MF CAN'T USE previous Macross Cannonized designs as is, because the TOY or MODEL makers can't get the rights to use updated previous designs? it's been like 10-15 years, In Cannon from M7 (2045~6) to the current time line (2059) and only 2 designs previous between the VF-19 production run and VF-25? i'm tired. i'm sure i'm making a point but i'm too pooped to think...

why the change? with a title named Piq? i'd be less inclined to buy... but maybe the mag isn't aided at my age after all...

Is the US version of Newtype also doing the same story? or do they get restricted on Macross Stuff by Disharmony Mold?

you sure that's what he says? Now someone Torrented Eps. 1[[seiyan]_Macross-Frontier_01_(english_subbed_xvid)] and Fokker-be says 'Ranka's finally here' Now of course, i disagree with A huge portion of Seiyan's sub. sadly it seems the very good three part sub first seen on Youtube is gone. i thought that one made more sence (Gill's comments as he punchs out of his VF-25: I'm not gonna die like this!) But heh, until i see a Tiawan/China Bootleg disc, guess i'll wait...

/me tosses beer cans in the stew you think Disharmony Mold will ALLOW bandai to bring to the US anything Macross Related? probably not, IMHO...

it's more like gently keeping them from over the edge. Nope, nothing new per se, though the views help. actually on a couple shots, you get the impression there is a few more frames inserted...

Propellant Tanks for sure (up in the air if they actually are used for movement or suport of the over-the-shoulder gun). a UC era Mobile suit (painted red, like a advanced zaku?) had propellant tanks, LONG tanks around a center tail extention of the mecha that acted like a booster...
