Nice, that sounds pretty cool, especially the wingman feature and the improved AI. Its good to see countermeasures in the game as well. AMRAAMs should have a min. range, its a BVR weapon, not dogfighting. Question, how's the plane damage, same as AC4 with a limit of how many hits you can take? Does damage affect the planes handling or anything like that? I hope to see cooler ground attack missions, some crazy nap of earth flying especially.

I finally found Alternator Hound yesterday at the Walmart in Oxnard, CA. I checked every Target in the Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura area, but only found Smokescreens and Sideswipes. When I finally got to the Walmart, lo and behold, they had a Silverstreak, 2-3 Deadends and 2-3 Hounds. I will definately be hitting up Walmart first for all my TF Alternator needs from now on.

I hate to be so wishy-washy, but now after like a month of looking at BoBe-Patt's Sharon/Desert Spine, I find that I like the old, plain, Isamu Desert Spine better. Either way, I'll still be picking up a DVD case, but I just wanted to throw my $.02 back in to the conversation.

nice, I like the cockpit pics, I like the schematic pics as well, man, now I can't decide . Both are looking good to me right now.

Nice Bobe-Patt, that's what I'm talking about.

I like the Sharon/Desert spine, it's really nice. The red eye does disrupt the flow of the overall pic though. I'd like to see if someone could have the Sharon pic and maybe the eye blend into the background sky more. Like color the Sharon pic the same color as the background sky.

1/1 LowViz Lurker, your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter . Actually nice job with your control scheme description.

nice pic of the valk from the Scramble Valkyrie SNES. I always found the valk design in that game to be a little off, but close to the standard VF-1. now that I look at them and compare it to the VF-0, very similar looking.

just so you guys know, Tour of Duty is out on DVD now, season 1 anyway. Actually it came out last month I want to say, I remember shelving it at work. A good series about the Vietnam War.

Its a solid disc for any megaman fan out there. I bought it for my brother cuz he loves the original megaman games on NES. Also, we've both gotten lazy with regards to getting old NES games to work (spoiled, I know ).

Cool, nice pics of the Gripen. The F-14 on the F/A-18's six pic is sweet. I've been looking at different screens in different game mags and have seen some planes that look like B-52s, nice. I wonder if you can choose what type of planes your wingmen fly and maybe even there weapons load. That would be nice.

Man, between the desert and sharon spines, I can't decide. I like the idea of trying to splice the sharon shot into the desert shot. Maybe have Sharon blend in to the sky more, like be more shadowy and in the background, not so vibrant and in your face. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I think that would look hot. I'll be keeping an eye on how the desert/sharon spine develops. Also, after looking over the last couple mockups, the sides definately look a bit cluttered with the battroid pics thrown in.

nice, nice, I like how its coming out. Will be definately watching for when this will come out.

I like the last design with the little battroids in the corners. That and the blue Sharon pic is pretty hot. Nicely done Anubis.

They definately need to liven up the ground attack missions. The general strike missions are fine, but the close air support missions need to be more dynamic. I want to see my bombing have an effect on the ground battle below. In missions like Whiskey Corridor, the only real reason to go after all the ground targets was so I could get S ranking on the mission. Also, with the screenshots of the Growler Super Hornet variant, I'd like to see some crazy Wild Weasel missions, going in to take out enemy SAM and radar sites before the B-52s come rolling in for a strike. Come on Namco, if you're gonna have the Tu-95 Bear in AC4, give some props to the BUFF, its still flying bombing missions to this day and will until 2040 if I'm not mistaken.

yeah, its the same as the pin point barrier system used by the SDF-1 in the Macross TV series, only developed for use on a valkyrie

I agree with Blaine, the lineart 19 and 21 is really growing on me and the Mac+ logo on top would be tight. That definately needs to be blue. I like the Isamu desert spine, but I'm open to seeing if anyone can come up with other images that can be used too.

oops, i forgot to say that I like just the mac+ logo on top. its just nice and simple

I like 1 and 5 the best. 4 is okay, but i don't need to have isamu and guld on both sides.

the sculpt looks okay, but I will definately have to see this sucked up close and personal before I even consider paying $150 for this. definately needs to have alot of diecast parts for that price, plus all the lion add on weapons, mouth sword things for each individual lion, as well as blazing sword and the throwing star thingy too.

Just got my mecha box Saturday. I'm still impressed. My brother checked it out and he was awed by how nice it was. If I had the means/space, I'd definately display on some sort of rotating display its so nice. I'm eagerly anticipating the Mac+ box. I like the new 19/21 pic, but I wish it were more colorful. Definately want to see the Mac+ pyramid symbol on the box, its a must. IMHO I feel as if Mac+ is all about the 19 and 21. The story and characters are really secondary to me. I'd like to see 19/21 pic on one of the sides or top. Even with all I've said, Newtest 1 is the design I like the best so far. I'll still pick up a box set even if there's no 19/21 pic on it, but I would really like to see it on the box somewhere. I know you its hard to find the right kind of pics that can be used. Good luck and thanks to all working on both projects.

F-16 had always been my favorite fighter plane. I dunno, I just like the design, especially the underbody intake (which is why I'm also a fan of the Eurofighter, Rafale, Mig-29, and the various Flankers). The Japanese variants/upgrades of their F-16s were especially cool looking in the concept art I've seen, though I haven't see what the real life production ones look like. Anyone have any links??? V-22 Osprey, god, that thing is still in testing and development? I figured it'd be in full scale production and deployment by now. Eurofighter vs Rafale, I like how the Rafale looks better than the Eurofighter, but I think the Eurofighter is the better plane.

Cool. It looks to me like the design is based off of the Typhoon class nuclear sub, which is already pretty big in itself. I'm interested in seeing more stats and stuff about the sub, like if it uses overtechnology or not. I'm guessing it should at least have two torpedo tubes for self-defense.

Nice, nice, first the custom boxes and now this. As much as I liked the Animeago design, it is kinda blurry and understated. A newer design, especially with Mikimoto art and other stuff would be awesome. I'm in on this as well.

Sweet, the boxes are both looking just great. I knew these months of design and fabrication would pay off in the end. Thanks again to all involved for bringing this to fruition.
