So, I have a question of logistics/design for Macross capital ships…..so if the Varuta super mega carrier had 8 Macross cannons, how does that work, logistically? It was my understanding that the Macross cannon had such huge power demands, that it limited it to just one per craft. Is it like the Death Star with many dedicated reactors per Macross cannon? Second question is why normal New UN Spacy ships equip more of them?

No, the guns mounted on the wing root of the YF/VF-19... the ones that end up on its hips in Battroid mode.

Why don’t we ever see Isamu use those, or the rotary cannons in the chest of the YF-19? Just doesn’t make sense…..

Twich

Sorry, my confusion, thought you were discussing the arm/vertical stabilizer weapons on the YF-21/VF-22S

Twich

Anyone notice in the description for this at LUNA PARK, it states special stage set? I wonder if it will get a special stand like the VF-31AX Hayate Custom.

Twich

Are you discussing the arm laser weapons on the YF-21/VF-22S?

in the Macross plus animation, they are used in rapid fire by Guld in Battroid mode.

Twich

I rather enjoyed the movie.  I do believe they were trying to establish the dynamic between the characters, as we see in the video games, I also believe that as long as they try to remain faithful to the video game while attempting to tell a good story, they might have a franchise on their hands.

Twich

All this time that this picture has been around and I never saw the VF-27 in the back ground, it is hard to tell, but I wonder about the VF-25. I know they did the VF100 line with the VF-25, but those are primitive by HMR standards…..one can hope!

Twich

I too am curious on this, as I do not recall it being quantified how the YF-29B was an upgraded version of the original other than it saying "An upgraded version of the original"

Twich

Plus at least 4 Macross 1/2 class ships that we saw three in the first movie and a new one supposedly in the second Delta movie, plus the YF-29 Durandal for Max.

Twich

Something to do with the fold wave system, since all YF-29 have these stripes….or it could be because Bandai loves the markings

Official subs? Yes!!!!

So is it going to include official subs in English and other languages? Will it also be region free?

Twich

The end of September? Wow, is that like a year from release to home disk release…..seems like an awfully long time, but thank you for the news!

Twich

I am very excited for this, especially if it is a worldwide release…..makes me wonder why this is and the VF-31AX Kairos Plus releases have not been….I love that they are including the fast packs with this release.

The previous official color renderings weren't very clear on this, I always thought the 2 smaller thrusters were an integrated part of the bigger leg thrusters in Fighter mode, and just splits out from it in the X-wing-like & other modes.. With the new underside images, it looks like they actually unfurl out from the belly of the fighter. I am liking the SV-303 design more and more.. But perhaps its a new valk syndrome, same as when the SV-262 was first revealed.

 

 

To me, as the uneducated, layman observer, is that the SV-303 is a cross of the VF-4 with the VF-27 and/or YF-29.  I think that this design is absolutely wonderful and as said earlier in the thread, this thing has several Lil' Draken Drones attached to its hull to give it some truly impressive firepower.  I am eagerly anticipating more information on this Valkyrie and this gives me excitement and hope for Kawamori's new designs coming up in future Macross products.

Twich

I Love the SV-262, and think that it is an amazing Valkyrie. I’m really certain that it is under appreciated as a design. I’m physically pained at how difficult it is to transform, otherwise it would be one of my favorite Macross Jet toys that I own. I think it is a shame that there was not further call to release more of them, as we saw with the VF-31. Maybe this fact will have Bandai release a 2.0 like the VF-25 got, and we will get a red SV-262Hs for Bogue from the new movie along with all the rest of the SV-262Ba’s and VF-31AX’s , SV-303 and YF-29 Max custom.  I just wish that it would come with the middle pods and sword along with the Valkyrie, heck throw in the lil’ darkens to entice buyers!

Twich

Okay, so maybe this is explained in the text, which I cannot read, but is there a reason why it has written on the CAD drawings, it calls it a YF-33?  I think that this might be a runner up, siding right up with the VF-9 as the origami valkyrie.  Those wing shifts and movement of the engines seem like it could be like star wars ships...X-Wing/B-Wing.  I am glad that it gives a bit of a better explanation of transformation.

Twich

My wife pre ordered this for me for Christmas, looks like I will get it from BBTS at end of August or September? Looking forward to it!

Twich

I enjoyed this translation as well! Thank You!

Twich

I am very excited by this! Loved taking my sons to Macross Plus in Spokane, WA.

Twich

I guess this is why I need to see that movie. I hope that this will come to the USA in some format with official English subs sometime soon.  Also, it would be nice to see official release of stats so that I can quantify just how powerful these variable fighters are. Seeing CG renders of them are cool, but some “meat and potatoes “ are needed for me to wrap my head around it

Someone's liable to have a seizure trying that one!

or an MI from stress.  I know that transforming my DX SV-262 was anxiety inducing.  That is why it will forever remain in battroid.

Twich

So, let me see if I counted this right.....It has 6 of the integrated 25mm-35mm laser machine gun integrated weapons, Dual Quantum beam cannons, like the YF-29 turreted guns and although I cannot see them, I am sure it has micro missile launchers.  4 thermonuclear reaction engines.  I have not seen the 2nd Macross Delta movie, but I can see how a YF-29 was needed to deal with these.  While I love the VF-31A Kairos and VF-31 Siegfried, I don't see it compete with this level of valkyrie.  Are the powers that be equating this as a possible 6th gen fighter?

Twich

It makes me wonder how the DX toy will turn out.  I like it though, hope it doesn't have the same difficulty with transformation as the DX SV-262

Twich

I have had a Yamato VF-22S toy, it does not have the same belly plates or any attachment points for fast pack, so I would have to say no, unless someone has actually done this with their YF-21/VF-22S
