LOVE the nose. Shorter than the 25's, and elegantly curved. Nice canopy shape too. Air intakes look a bit broad-sided to the airflow and blocky. Kinda clumsy transition between the fuselage side and the wing root. Nice and cohesive Battroid mode and very nice Gerwalk. Like the guns and micro-missile launchers. Oh, and single seater, apparently. It has the panel behind the first cockpit like the 25, dunno if it's removable. Overall, very nice bird!

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Sildani replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Not sure. The thread is going so fast, I think we're talking about girls who transform into Valkyries into idol singers with deployable hair guns, and then I saw a pink haired girl with lovely rounded plot devices and now we're talking about ships that turn into girls into Knights of Wind, who are dudes. Yeah. That's it. -
Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread

No... if you're referring to the red-haired person standing up in that Kingdom of Wind poster... pretty sure that's a dude. -
Is there a reason why the arms and arm armor parts look so low on that VF-1 on the launch arm? They should be tucked further in to the fuselage. The landing gear will never reach the ground, as low as the gun pod is slung. Bad transformation, or bad mechanism?
-
And the Phantom proves that even a brick will fly, given enough thrust. But that's another thread. 😀

My apologies. The 5000 has been the only one for so long, my brain didn't catch up. I've honestly never considered the 17 or 171 as deltas. Not that they're not, but they seem to be a blended wing/body more than anything else. Even a lifting body. Or I'm insane.
-
Honestly, it's the design. Lovely and streamlined and lithe, it's the only delta wing Kawamori did until the just-revealed SV-262. It transforms into a sturdy looking Battroid, and that transformation combines the best parts of the VF-1 and VF-19 (no uniboob). I just like it a bit more than the 11. It looks more advanced, even if it's not.

Yeah, I saw him for the one second he was on screen. Might be a crew chief.

Having the benefit of looking at better-res versions, I think they're dragon/bat wings. Dunno about the center of it. The Knights of Wind each have their own trim color and personal symbol painted all over their Draken IIIs. -
Yep.
-
Why not? Have mold, will milk.
-
Yep. Although with this being, probably, the main Valkyrie in the series, there's an excellent chance we'll finally see the other weapon pods. One of those might be to your liking, DWC.
-
What's... that?
-
Ditto, VF-5000.
-
So that's what happens when a YF-19 and a YF-30 love each other very much. Silhouette shows promise. Not long now.
-
Is it fair to say that the bigger the weapon, physically, the higher its destructive potential? The end result is the same, but a bigger weapon would generate a bigger beam, yes?
-
It has a longer and boxier "stinger" though. Only the VF-1 seems to be able the beat the 16's airframe in terms of flexibility.
-
That's not a delta, it's a cranked arrow! 😉 Great, great airplane there. I just wanna take it and throw it in a darkened hangar with an F-22 for a few days with some romantic music and see what results. It'd be epic.
-
Pre-ordered from NY. Now I await...
-
Sabine as a figure? That'd be nice. Hera too. A grown Ahsoka and old Rex wouldn't go wrong either.
-
Waiting for NY myself.

As Doug Drexler would say, you're letting your ape brain rule you. You're looking at futuristic designs with an expectation of contemporary materials and engineering being used to construct it, instead of the super-strong materials they're undoubtedly using. Heck, look at what we have today-graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other materials we've barely scratched the surface of. Heck, just a month or so ago, the Navy announced a material that's as close as makes no difference to transparent aluminum! Open mind, in other words. I also like the JJ Enterprise. Not as much as the originals, but I can see where they were going and I like it.
-
It'll hold a small hangar, thereby letting you put a Valkyrie in your Valkyrie so you can variable fight while you variable fight. It'll be called the X-Z1bT type pod.

The 26th.

The Chinese government is also not nearly as factory-friendly as they used to be. They're moving China towards a service and finance based country but quick. For example, an environmental quality license that cost a few thousand a couple years ago now costs $100,000. Apparently, half the factories in Guangdong, their big manufacturing city, are idle. It's a changing China.
