  1. Perhaps it was part of some false flag operation(Roid did mention having a plan at the time the bomb was dropped, which turned their wings black) to give windemere a precedent for war? I also heard someone mention that wright was too kind for his own good, so there is also the possibility that he defected to windermere.
  2. I've started reading the tie-in manga that focuses on the aerial knights(specifically keith and roid) when they were young, and it really helps to flesh out their motives and characterisation a lot more. Is it possible that the lack of information we have so far due to the presence of the tie-in manga, or should we get more information later on in the anime?
  3. Good point. Another possibility could be corruption in the NUNS leadership and regional differences in management, but its just speculation at this point. The reason for the continued string of windermere victories could then be due to the fact that the var all but shuts down communication/coordination(as part of the fleet in episode 15 were visibly affected and unable to act before keith went in), along with the notion that the regular forces may not know how to deal with the sigur valens and other possible protoculture technologies in that situation. Then again, var infected pilots did show some organisation back in episode 4.
  4. Perhaps this could give some justification to the poor performance of NUNS pilots/mooks. Their presumed focus on combined arms doctrines means that they may have to trade off individual skill in exchange, considering the fact that the NUNS is a regular military force that is quite large.
  5. I'm seriously considering waiting for a VF 31A because I love the fact that its in a proper(and nice looking) aircraft gray, unlike the cream and light green drab that we've seen most of the time that is nice, but doesn't quite speak to me.
  6. Wow those look incredible! Must have taken a lot of work to get them to look that good.
  7. I think the slightly more complex transformation of the VF 31 would complicate the use of armored parts compared to the VF 25
  8. I love the aircraft grey used on the CF VF 31A, definitely looks nicer IMO compared to the usual brown drab.
  9. Has anyone read CollectionDX's review of the arcadia yf 19? He seemed to enjoy it and didn't seem to find any grating structural problems unlike anymoon. http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2014/yf19_fast_packs
  10. The v1 toys were apparently notorious for their structural problems. They just did not hold together well, and can sometimes even break on you(see CollectionDX's review of the VF 25S renewal). A key difference between the versions is that the v1 lacks a gerwalk support joint unlike the v2, in addition to not being able to do the iconic a-stance. The v1 parts are(according to anymoon) less detailed and don't have as solid a fit to the valk as the v2 toys. Furthermore, the v1s lack the detail of the v2 toys, and the general consensus seems to be that the v2 toys look much better in addition to being anime accurate.
  11. Apologies if I was rude then. Won't happen again.
  12. One thing that has bugged me about the holographic suits in Delta is how the skirt thrusters from Walkure's default outfits are supposed to fit on it. Their normal uniforms don't seem to indicate where they might be(seeing as they did transition from their uniform to the idol outfit in that one airdrop scene).
  13. I always had the impression that the yf 29 and vf 27 were test-bed/one-off production units due to their terrible operational versatility. Both of those units required specialised expansion parts, complex technologies and difficult logistics(e.g. the yf 29's fold crystals) all while being unable to have a diverse range of ordinance aside from the default gun pod + other guns and micromissiles due to the lack of visible hardpoints. So in a sense, both those valkyries and the yf 24 were akin to "concept cars" in relation to the MP units.
  14. Looks rather chunky and awkward to me, though this is a space use equipment set.
  15. Presumably on the forearm or behind the actual barrel. We don't know what kind of feed system this gun is using(i.e. belt, cartridge, etc.).
  16. That makes me wonder if the VF 25 has been adopted by the NUNS yet(VF 25 with NUNS markings?), or if its related technology has been mass produced.
  17. From what we've seen of the siegfried's mini gun pods(appears to be single barrel so far), I presume the rail guns function as an auto cannon rather than a gatling. Though their high rate of fire says otherwise.
  18. Seeing as the Sigur Valens is incredibly powerful to the point where it can casually wreck a fleet by itself, I wonder if there are any feasible counters to protoculture technology.
  19. Sadly, i couldn't catch the VF 1S Strike(Arcadia) preorder, so my only hopes for a first valk are ozma's VF 25S, Isamu's VF 19ADV, or any of the delta valks. Sadly, the deal I had with someone fell through due to a screwup on my part, so now idk where to find the vf 25 armored parts at a reasonable price.
  20. A true isamu yf 19 from bandai would be blessed, though at this point its just rumors and speculation. Also, would the "display piece" moniker also apply to Arcadia's VF 1 offerings?
  21. As for the arcadia toy, would you consider that to be more of a display piece rather than an actual toy? The concerns regarding durability make it seem like the YF 19 wouldn't hold up too well to regular use.
  22. The stands certainly look a lot cleaner than the old SMS stands we got with the frontier valks.
  23. iirc their promo video showed a prototype that was fully coloured and transformable The overall clean aesthetics of the VF 31 are refreshing compared to the intricacy of the Sv 262
