Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
twich replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
As I mentioned/speculated in the other thread, maybe the Siegfrieds were stripped of fold quartz to outfit that YF/VF-29 that they have in the trailer. Didn’t that require 4 large fold quartz stones to power its system? For the new VF-31=Reduce strain from not overclocking it’s engines, give it bigger railguns. Plus the new double beam cannon mission pack. Also Seto, didn’t you say these new VF-31AX Kairos Plus had a different carrier name? I am sure that it wasn’t cheap to replace the one lost in the last movie from the Macross cannon shot from the other Macross 0.5. Sounds like besides illegal cloning, Lady M may have developed the next designer drug crazy of the Macross universe to bankroll all this cash they are pumping out….. Twich -
Macross Delta Zettai Live!!!!!! - Available on Blu-ray Sept 28, 2022
twich replied to Marzan's topic in Movies and TV Series
Well that is interesting, I wonder how Xaos is saving up enough money to spring for a YF-29(or VF-29 since it is almost 10 years later), maybe this explains why no fold quartz for the Siegfrieds, perhaps they had to downgrade them to scrounge for enough fold quartz to outfit a YF-29 to full potential. So, this gets me thinking, if they need a YF-29 to take on the next enemy, is the new enemy valk a) require an Android, and b) is as powerful as a VF-27 Super. I am really digging the neon on black valk for the new enemy. I wonder how that will translate to a DX Chogokin transforming toy. Twich -

I do not think it is the enemy valk, the color of the YF-29 valk is blue, like Hayate’s scheme, where the enemy valk is black with neon colored strips. The reason I think it is a YF-29 is the distinctive vertical tail fins and the two little humps next to it for the integrated tornado cannons. At first I thought it was the trailer for the new Macross Frontier special, but then I saw a VF-31 in there too. Twich -

Is that a YF-29 we see in the clips that have been posted? twich -
The new pieces by the heads of the VF-31AX look almost protoculture-esque in their design. The Windamearans had the Protoculture ship, maybe Xaos analyzed the capabilities to 100% and used it in the AX redesign. Twich

Yes, that does look sweet! Has anyone noticed that the color palette seems to have gone drab for the new movie? Arads “S” model teased was the colors of Messer, now this one is all dark and drab. I’m not complaining, I like the new, more military color scheme. Twich

shipping from Mandarake of a VF-31E just cost me 4330 yen for shipping via DHL, so I think that prices have gone up. Twich

Going back about 40 pages, I noticed that several people have been having the gap at the knee joint, while grabbing to the sight, it does not really detract too much from the jet. My major issue, being the fact that the left wing will not sit tightly against the leg, I have shaved down the tabs going into the leg to see if it was a fit problem that way, but it hasn't really changed anything. I will not shave anything more off of the tab, and realistically, these are minor annoyances, but not ones that I experienced on my VF-31F Messer/Hayate version. I really love both of my VF-31's and do not regret buying them at all. It is just making me wanting to know more about the plans for future valk releases coming from the next Delta movie and the future. We got the VF-25G Tornado and the whole slew of YF-29 toys from the second Macross Frontier movie....how many DX toys will we get from this one. Twich

So these are pics of all the gaps and of the area where the wing hooks into the leg by the foot on the left side of fighter mode. The fact that the right leg remains extended in fighter mode at the knee joint puzzles me, as you would think that would be the side that doesn’t line up. Comparing it to my DX VF-31F Messer/Hayate release from passionate Walkure, they don’t seem to fit together the same. I am puzzled…. Twich

I believe that it is a really good design for both fighter and battroid, the Gerwalk is strange, but the real beast is trying to transform the DX toy. Who knows what the new movie will bring to us as far as new DX toys....one can hope. Twich

So question to the community who own VF-31's. I recently got a new, unopened VF-31E from Mandarake. I have noticed an issue with the legs/intakes staying connected while in fighter mode, and also, where the wing on the left side of fighter mode slides into the leg at the back of the fighter mode, near the feet. It will not fully engage into the slot made for it, I don't want to force it, but if I don't keep pushing on it, the wing will disengage from the leg and make the leg flop around. I have transformed it to try to workout the kinks associated with a new DX from the factory, but the issue has not resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions? The problem seems worse when the radar dish is deployed. Twich

Wow, really makes me wish they would improve/revise the SV-262 DX mold and given us more variants. Twich

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
twich replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I am interested in the Masterpiece Starscream ver 2.0, and was interested to see that they have changed the main landing gear placement for the toy, I was glad that it wasnt the little stubby wheels that flip out of the kneecaps that we got on the MP-3/11 molds. Twich- 17913 replies

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
twich replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I guess the big buzz at midnight pacific time on 5/27/21 is the leak by Bloomberg article stating that the Nintendo Switch "Pro" will be shipping Sept/Oct and will be revealed before E3. It also states that it will be more expensive than the regular Nintendo Switch, which it will replace.......but of course, until we hear from Nintendo, this is just speculation. Twich -
My condolences to all involved.

Went searching on YouTube and found your two videos , your VF-9 seems very durable. Is that a special material that you used to construct? Or is that regular shapeways material? Love the design! Thank you, you video was very informative! Twich

Forgive my ignorance, and this is very sad, but what does this mean? Not trying to be insensitive….

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
twich replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Maybe the new “enemy” is the New UN Spacy. The drone fighter that harassed the new VF-31A’s belonging to Chuck and Mirage seemed to give them a lot more trouble than a few Lil Drakens did, could be earth based tech that is more powerful than we could know(ala speculation that earth spec VF-24 has Uber stats)….who knows, guess we will all find out when the new delta movie releases/streams/beams into our heads via mind probe Twich -

twich replied to Marzan's topic in Movies and TV Series
Anyone else think it is funny that we have yet to see any hint of Hayate's new mecha? Wonder if he will get a new design that is completely different from the VF-31, ala the VF-25 to YF-29. I know we have the new "enemy" mecha design, but the more designs and moreover, the more DX toys we get, the better. Twich -
If I am understanding Google Translate correctly, looks to be up for pre-order on June 3rd, 2021 with October 2021 release https://tamashii.jp/item/13624/ 23,100 yen with tax included 22,000 yen without tax Says general store release ( I think, as per Google Translate) Twich

I wonder if this will be the first of the official Bandai Macross DX toys that gets released to places like the US. I know that BBTS had a VFG Klan Klan VF-25G model that went up for pre-order, I wonder if we will get this at places like BBTS. We are supposed to get more information on this on 5/21/21, which, I think it is that day in Japan right now...... Twich

Awesome! Thanks!

As I cannot read Japanese, is that picture of the two mission packs there to say “look how similar they are” or “we are including these both in this release”? thanks Twich
