    We do see two Chaos VFs hovering in the air in Battroid mode, and they are totally unprepared for things flying past them. The impression that I've had so far is that the Drakens and Siegfrieds are so evenly matched and flying at the edges of their performance envelopes that no one is going to do a mode change unless it provides an immediate and absolute benefit versus the penalties of doing so. Messer demonstrating that he could just backflip his Siegfried to get behind Keith (Episode 9) was a good example of that.

    Yeah, the Star Wars Holiday Special has a unique place in WTF Christmas tie-in events.

    Bloody hell. The Sigur Valens is... Rest of the episode: HOLY. [REDACTED].

    The mention of implants reminded me that Walküre's use of (press-on?) fingernail computers seems like it's so mundane as to be unremarkable by anyone, either in the series or by the viewers. All of Walküre except Freyja, that is. I think they'd be interesting to see more details of with regard to their capabilities, along with whatever the core of their holographic costume technology is. Sheryl had to wear a bodysuit (and obviously stayed within the confines of the stage), but we've moved along in intervening years. Walküre looks like whatever their using fits onto a small part of their clothes, considering that Kaname and Makina have bare midriffs all the time.

    Subs have been out for about an hour now.

    Elysion details: And since I ended up on top of a page, here's a picture of Brera's VF-27 with the NUNS insignia clearly visible:

    It was a joke I'd seen going around when people were trying to guess the size of the entire Elysion. The "half" part, anyway.

    This page appeared: http://macross.jp/delta/movie062426/ Delta episodes on YouTube? Expect geoblocking all over the place? But still... YouTube!

    Macross Half confirmed. (Or Macross Three-Quarters?)

    Maybe someone could wear the umineko strapped to the front of their flight suit. Except they'd be dressed in dark colors so anyone looking in would only see the umineko at the controls.

    IMO that about covers it; micro-missiles exist to splash mooks and make heroes look really cool because no hero ever gets killed by micro-missiles. And I'm sure that I stole that observation from some video review that I saw in the past month, but it's true, right?

    The F-4's gunpod appears to be installed with a few degrees of down angle also.

    Wouldn't call it a stretch if people have been commenting on the similarities to Macross II since the preview special aired. Not just the singing, but the general physical arrangement of the Shrine of Time as well.

    If humans could use 20th-century technology to cram a city into the SDF-1 (especially after accidentally Folding an island with them), the Protoculture can build a stone room inside the SV. We need more scale references for the SV. Right now all I can guess is "pretty big but not huge big."

    I think it's drawn. There's a very short sequence at the beginning of the liftoff where the starboard prong moves at a different rate than the central section, but that could have been done by illustrating each section separately. Otherwise the SV is not really shown making any perspective moves as it crosses the camera's point of view. They'll have to have a 3D model of it for any sort of intricate action sequences later, but considering how the other conventionally-drawn portions of this episode were rough around the edges, they're likely saving the budget for the really important parts.

    The P-Hawk would be a solid choice, then the only unit in the lance that has significant concerns about ammo dependence would be the Wolvie. Unless it's a -K or -M. Yack, my old tabletop experience is showing.

    Bobby mentioned how he'd had feelings, but also said something about being too old to worry about that any more, IIRC. So it... half-counts?
  22. This Confuses Gamlin
    A lot of people are guessing that. I'm going to take a different tack and hope that it's actually an episode where Arad, the character most associated with jellyfish, tells the other characters about the events of Windermere's departure from the UNG, which would get that whole messy exposition thing out of the way ahead of time.

    Messer made it to #9... well, that'll be interesting in the next issue.
  25. This Confuses Gamlin
    That's exactly what they ended up doing, except that Messer was hit first and slipped out of the way. And I'm just referring to the complexity of the angles involved. They were head-on and in the same plane of travel, so there was no lead to calcuate. It wasn't like Keith landed a deflection shot on Messer while the latter was flying 90 degrees across his nose. On the general topic of cockpit vision, I once thought that the pilots were actually getting the "clear cockpit" view through their helmet systems (like this) and what we saw as no cockpit was actually a representation of what they saw through the display, not that projectors in the cockpit hid the bulkheads. But it's supposed to be the latter (especially in Hayate's case), which presents some considerations for how the view is compressed for areas where the pilot can't easily turn their head, such as something coming up from six o'clock low, which would seem to involve trying to look through their own stomach.
