Does anybody know of a good site besides the Robotech Reference Guide and MAHQ to find line art for Megazone 23.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, guys, and many more.

Last of the preliminary UN uniform files are up.

Update - Basic Personnel profiles are back up.

I've only got a few more... and none with names.

I have a few more for things like the FAST pack equipped VF-4, some magazine pages from Macross World on Macross M3, and the Daedulus/ARMD II spaceship from ?Macross 2036?. I'm not sure if you're looking for these as well, or not.

Enjoy the pictures.

Sketchley - Any pictures I can get my hands on. Thanks.

Would you be able to translate these as well, http://www.macrossnexus.com/index.php?opti...&Itemid=372

Brief translations (most of the text is too small to be read... or at least read correctly.)

VF-X3

Star Crusader

(Medusa)

(Ekihiya type charged particles??) beam launcher x2

3 velocity(?) Grenade Rack x2

Infared Laser System x7

Micro-missile phalanx x2

Missile Bay x6

question marks of course mean that as the source Japanese is illegible, the translation isn't 100% trustworthy.

Thanks Sketchley.

Bad news, that mecha's name isn't in the booklet

It only appears once in the game (twice if you play it on hard) and all it does it fly around and attack you with discs that circle around the mecha. It does take a lot of hits to destroy and will fly away if it isn't destroyed within a certain amount of time. I've included two screenshots showing the discs being deployed and them circling around it.

Thanks TheLoneWolf, did it show where the disks came from or did they just appear out of nowhere.

Was there any other oddball mecha in the game.

is it me, or does the VFX-3 share a few eliments with the SDP-1S Stampede Valk?

Looks like a few, I think mainly the legs and torso a bit.

Anybody know if Akiko from M7 has a last name.

The Zentraedi mecha in the first pic is from Macross 2036. It could also be in ELS, but I haven't gotten far enough in the game to say so definitively.

The second mecha is from Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie. It's just a generic enemy, but I believe it's name is listed by it's sprite (I doubt lineart exists) in the Scrambled Valkyrie booklet. If sketchley is willing to translate, I'd be more than glad to scan and post it.

That would be great, thanks.

Hey LoneWolf since it seems you've played most of these games would it be possible to get a short blurb on their tactics and armament from you. I'd like to do a more accurate file on these in the future, and any help I can get would be much appreciated.

Crap, wrong forum.

How about either one of these, anybody know what these are called -

The first one I've seen called the Magzemig-La [Eternal Love Song] and the second as the Quinlin Rau but I have no idea what game it is from.

There were 3 other Zentraedi battlesuit images that I found at the same time, and from the same source. They are:

Zen1: ギルーザ　フリー　Giruuza Furii (Gilza Free?)

Zen3: シグノミュ Shigunomyu (Shignomyu?)

Zen4: シュルケル　ガー Shurugeru Ga (Shurgel Ger?)

Thanks Sketchley, you wouldn't happen to have any other Video-Game Art would you.

Thanks.

Thanks guys!!

@briscojr84 That is the only pics I've seen of it too,...all though yours are clearer than mine. I will be

printing that up and enhancing it.

@valkyrie Well at least I know I'm looking for that book, which was something I didn't know before. You

wouldn't happent to recall if there were any comparison shots of that and a mainstream valk or

destroid would you? I'm trying to gather as much information as possible, thanks.

If anyone else has info or can point me in the right direction in looking for it, I'd be appreciated!!

P.S. How fun was this game anyway? Strategy games are definately my thing and if its a well done macross one all the better!!

Not a problem, if you run across better pics though let me know.

Okay, need a little help with names guys, or possibley any line-art that may be floating around, the first one is this -

I'm finding To names the Shellcair-Gar and the Roguren Rau or possibly even Cigno Mul

Thanks.

I've sometimes seen magazines like that described as "helical" magazines. Drum magazines usually bring to mind the famous round magazine of the 1920s era Tommy Gun, or the horizontally-positioned magazine of a Lewis gun (or a Zaku!). Mind you, the 20mm Vulcan is often described as having a drum magazine, even though it looks to me more like a barrel!

Calico's use the helical drums.

Remember Me was for the PC-9801 computer line, actually, not the PC engine.

The book that came with the game had a couple more pics of that design (and a couple others). But I sold my copy a few years ago, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Here is the only other Pic I've seen.

He does change it right before shooting down the last enemy. THe clip is ejected from the top of the gun pod and he replaces it with a spare. I just watched it. I could not see where he pulled the spare from but the clip is definetly on top of the pod.

The spare magazines are mounted to the back of the shield.

In the OVA version you can clearly see him eject the old magazine and then slide the gun upwards or downwards [agh, can't remember at the moment] on the back of the shield, I don't know if the movie version shows this or not.

There are some good outside shots of the sub, but that one in the bridge is the only one good enough to use as reference, the others can serve to perfectionate the details.

Some time ago we agreed that the Auerstadt was the "special operations" vessel of a larger AUN force, since it is seen floating with 2 destroyers in chapter 5, and there are some freaky looking Mig-29´s in the last battle. Those facts lead us to think that there was at least one conventional AUN carrier and it´s escorts, operating in the mayan theatre, since only 12 SV-51´s are not enough to take on the Asuka´s battle group.

Would you happen to have any of those pics.

Really good job Mr. March, the shading is superb.

Sadly those weapons are not used in the anime. Also we have to consider the Auerstadt as something more than just a submarine aircraft carrier. Following russian philosophy for naval aviation plataforms it may be armed with significant anti-ship weapons and maybe some anti-air, like the Kiev and Kuznetzov, wich are considered heavy aviation cruisers instead of carriers. My guess would be VLS tubes for cruise missiles and sea-skimmers and some torpedo tubes, also we have to consider if the octos were launched from the ship.

I have a feeling the Octos probably were [unless there were other AUN vessels shown?], man is that the only exterior image of the Auerstadt.

Thank you all mateys, for your kind words and appreciation. Sketchley made me see the agreement thing on a different level, thanks man.

To answer Knight26: As you know I was working on the VF-0 too, but I halted it to focus on getting my history degree and to work on the DYRL mod for HomeWorld 2, but I will resume work on it soon. The escort destroyers are almost done, I recently finished a 5" gun for the burkes, the non stealth version used by the flight 1. To make the model final I need a good photoshop tutorial and a game engine to run it

Concerning the Auerstadt. My first intention was to make an Sv-51 and the sub-carrier, I have the greatest admiration for Sukhoi aircraft and russian subs, also it will be easer to complete it as a pack, since there are only 2 vehicles to model and we get a very good lineart from the anime itself, but I fell in love with the Asuka and got carried away

I promess I wil make an Auerstadt model, all I need to know is it´s real size and maybe what kind of conventional weapons it carries and where exactly, if not we can give it typhoon weapons

I haven't seen all of M0 yet, maybe someone has pics of it using it's forward and aft weapon systems, a screen cap hopefully, that is if it actually used them in the show.

I have the idea I am seen as the anti-compemdium guy everyones hates, because no one has commented my "possitive" non conflicting findings-statements on the Asuka, like the amphibious launch bay and the sea sparrow, those things are in the anime and not in the compendium.

I think we have to realize that most macross fans are not as hardcore as we are and maybe the information released by the creators to the public aims at the majority that does not want to know wich brand of lipstick Claudia La Salle uses

My point is: if something is not stated by the creators in the macross compendium it does not mean it does not exists and for the last time I am not against the compendium, it just does not have all of the answers.

You are doing a good job man, let's see some more stuff, maybe a CG'ed Auerstadt.

Some files that I've been sitting on for a few days have been uploaded.

exactly

I think part of the problem with the Macross cannon is that everbody originally jumped to the conclusion that those were NV's rather than new built, unless there is a source somewhere says those are NV's.

I'll admit when I first saw the ship I thought to myself that they had attached four of them, but on retrospect I think it may be all newly built vessel.

Rambling.....
