  1. I was thinking the same. While Frontier super packs's boosters are blended with the wings, Delta puts them on top of the wing. But then I think it's to allow the outer wing to fold down during transformation.

    What's so special about it ?

    Hi-Metal R

    Will Bandai extend the HMR license to other Macross series too ?
  4. Awesome battle. They don't have any idol group to dragged them down But then, Gundam is the flagship of Bandai's mecha....heck, it's even the flagship of any mecha franchise.... Bandai must handle it properly.
  5. Is Patlabor Reboot going to be a season length TV series or Movie ? And how does it relate to The Next Generation ? Because then they will have 2 'retelling' in .such a short time.
  6. How many point of articulations will this be ? From the screenshot, I see even the fingers are articulated. Is this developed using Sketchup ?
  7. Hi. As stated by the title, I need a high resolution scan of schematic of Tsugumori (Knights of Sidonia), as in the manual of Kotobukiya model kit. Can someone provide a link or a scan ? Attached is the sample of it (courtesy of Dalong.net), but the picture breaks if zoomed it. Thanks in advance.
  8. During atmospheric reentry, the pilot might use Gerwalk mode to reduce speed to the point where the heat is tolerable by any lugged ordnance. This is Valk we are talking about
  9. Now, that you mention it, VF-25's legs also have to accomodate mechanism to retract the ventral fins. Overall, design-wise, I feel VF-31 is more 'compact'/space-efficient. Not counting the wing hardpoints, it can allocate larger percentage of its' mass to weaponry/ordnance. While VF-25 might have to accomodate the swing-wing mechanism too
  10. By cramming micro-missile launcher + 'calf' bay on the lower leg, I wonder if VF-31's engine is more compact (but still stronger) than VF-25. On the other hand, they have to move the landing gear to the knee-cap to accommodate all the above.
  11. Nice, Intake -> Shoulder armor Main Wings -> Skirt armor Rudder -> Backpack
  12. Maybe the purpose is to familiarize the pilots with the new system first (using existing airframe), while VF-25A is being developed/produced/whatever. somekind of stopgap, before fully migrating to 25A
  13. As I recall from first few episodes, Basara seems to have good aim, as he hit most of the enemy by single shot (As opposed to the VF-11s which had hard time scoring hit). Or it could be his VF-19 has better targeting system.
  14. You have a good eye to notice this. Probably just small caliber bullet, so it's easy to be brushed off by ECA.
  15. Sorry to bump this thread. Got a couple of questions : 1. About the rudders, are they removable from the main wing ?If yes, is the peg on the rudder part or is it on the wing ? 2. Is the container detachable from the swing arm ?
  16. Don't forget rudder hardpoints on Kakizaki's -1A VF-31 already has mass production too, -31A. If price can be used as an indication, I think YF-29 is still the better machine.
  17. Based on how the Booster units are mounted, I suspect the base of the rudders are actually hardpoints too.
  18. Interesting. I suppose this type of decal is middleground between water-slide & dry transfer ?
  19. Good point. If it's the AI/Fligth data that makes Hayate flies better, then they could have install it for the whole fleet. Yes. From what I see so far, Roid's motive for having hidden agenda (even from Heinz & Keith) is unclear. Basically, Roid is doing what Heinz wants to achieve, not sure why Heinz turn his back. So in this matter, either Roid betrays Heinz, or the other way around: Heinz is the one betraying Roid.
  20. Positive. At least, this is the best in the last 13 episodes. We get to see the action we've wanted, although the intensity of the battle is disrupted by talking between naked people. It concludes only the triangle love & Roid's diabolical plot. Some other aspects are left unclarified. Seeing how Windies lost most of their strength (the ultimate weapon a.k.a star singer, the mastermind & the best knight), it will be stupid if Heinz still want to continue the galactic conquest. I think they even have their back against the corner now, as Roids' 'humanoids neural network' won't be ignored now, and Heinz will have to be responsible for that. If there is a movie (or two) for this, it will be more like retelling/recap of the TV episodes, it will not be an extension/continuation of the TV. Question : Does XAOS consider Hayate as ace pilot now that they grant him permission to have personal emblem on the fighter ? Or does the emblem only there because the 31 has Messer's flight data ? Then just watch the last episode, fast-forward the talking part
