Has anyone noticed that Ai-kun evolved without having the weapons usually seen on stage 2 Vajira?

You're right... there is a single VF-17 variant in the video at that one instant. Though how can you be so sure its the 17D?

The wing shape and the length of the nose. The wing has a blunt tip compared to the 171's sharper wing style.

- The VF-25 has two forward beam guns on either side of the main intakes.

Not really. If you consider the dogfight between Alto and Brera then re-reference again to Alto using lasers to get into the Vajira battleship, then you can notice better that the VF-25F's head lasers can swing 180 degrees to fire forward while in fighter mode.

Hi guys. I checked out All that VF.

I was surprised by something I saw. It's more than just the YF-19 and 21 showing up.

37 seconds into the video, you can see a VF-17D in the formation. The only time it ever shows up.

OMG!

Or even better a thunder sword..................................... OVERKILL! heaps of things Mr K can do to max out the valks to take on those Gundamers.

You mean the radiant sword from Radiant Silvergun?

But that would be cool, Macross taking que from shmups.

10 bucks says they look like Terran Vikings from Starcraft II.

What VF-17 are you looking for specifically?

• The Bandai VF-17D and VF-17S Micro Macross Toys.
• The Bandai 1/65 DX VF-17D and VF-17S toys (first release).
• The Bandai 1/65 DX VF-17S (second release).
• The Bandai 1/65 DX metallic finsh VF-17S & VF-17D toys.
• The Bandai 1/144 plastic fighter & battroid model kit.
• The Wave 1/72 scale PVC VF-17D/S battroid garage kit.
• The Yellow Sub 1/100 VF-17D/S battroid resin garage kit with FAST packs.
• The Yellow Sub 1/144 VF-17D/S Fighter resin garage kit with FAST packs?

There are others, including the TECT conversion kits and some VF-17T garage kits.

Graham

thread necromancy!

I haven't seen the TECT conversion kits though... but I am interested in the yellow submarine garage kits...

Wait for Frontier to pull an Eureka Seven. I'm calling it. Ranka is an analogue to Eureka.

Wow, that's an awkward pose and expression that Alto has.

*sees scan*

I died! All that's left is to clean it up and I dunno.. blow it up to be a wallscroll? Though I don't know any places for blowing up to wallscroll.

How about reusable missiles that forcefully batter their opponent but return to their launch nacelles unscathed because of their own individual PBS & AI system?

Please, I don't like the idea of Slash Harkens as it is.

You mean you guys don't like the SRX + R-Gun combination?!

But evolution into WHAT would be the question...

Into STMCs, of course.

I'm not talking about the tailfins but the stuff on the lower leg. And yes Graham you are right about the lower leg.

Battroid mode is off in a lot of ways. *ehem...repost what I said from 4chan*...

There should be no flaps on the legs. The 3d model clearly showed that those flaps are attached to the wing swivel area.

Also, shield feels too thin...too short perhaps.. Crotch isn't set at an angle either.

As for Isamu, other than him being a hotshot pilot who lived on the edge, there's not a lot about his past or present other than what was in the anime. I mean, he's only 24 so there's not a lot to say about his life to begin with. Milliard actually got a radio drama about his time in Skull Squadron working with Hikaru Ichijo.

I'm interested in further details. Thanks.

VF-25 Raven

VF-25 Shrike

I mean, I like the Shrike idea.

Or VF-25 Falcon II

For those who can get the reference of the first two...

VF-25 Kaguya, also to piss off Alto.

VF-25 Mokou.

Now something more serious.

VF-25 Caliburn, since there's a VF-19 Excalibur.

We should prod the Japanese users in the direction we want. How are they holding up so far?

Wait for Bandai to cop out on us, by giving us something again like the Macross 7 models.

The purple valk looks like a VF-14 crossed with an SV-51. Maybe this means we get a new Feios?

Can someone re-upload the pictures in http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...st&p=531448 ?

Thanks.

Roy Focker?

How about Aegis Focker? He's only aged 8 years by Macross F, so that makes him around 30 years old.

One last thing; get rid of the blank/dead air scenes that just fill up time and give nothing..for example there's a scene of Booby trap when the Zentraedi attacks the city and the fights goes on; then they show either a random valk or Hikaru's VF flying by to the horizon and the camera suddenly pans slowly to one side just to find nothing and then pans back... I always thought WTF? they just wasted 10 seconds to shown a piece of a city in ruins anyone will take for granted..rather use that background on a fighting scene...

To each their own...

I was researching on Japanese film techniques, and the use of such "empty" scenes actually means something to the intended audience, a kind of understanding the director expects out of his audience. These kind of scenes are actually designed with a haiku-like intent. The message that comes through is based upon that kind of intent.

Do the terrorist activites have something to do with the huge fleet battle in the latter part of the game, and possibly the UN falling apart? (the NUNS on the VF-171s come to mind.)
