WTF is this, Gundam? it's not like bandai is... oh wait.

god that's so dirty... I aprove

except the VF-25 isn't any bigger than the YF-19, but the legs are considerably skinnier. and in the official technical drawings we've seen, the engine takes almost all of the room in the lower leg (it's directly exposed when the big panel on the side of the leg opens) there is defiantly no room, and there are no pallets shown in that part of the leg if their are any missiles in the legs they're either in the back of the legs or in the little parts on the outside of the knee, and both of these places offer almost no room for missiles. also there's a difference between not being shown in the animation and not being shown in official technical drawings. if they were to say that there are missiles in the legs, they would have to completely redesign the interior of the legs. (not that I wouldn't put it past HFH)

maybe you'd like them to start writing you checks too while their at it. be realistic, regardless of how good/bad the DX looks, there's no way they could charge that little. it's not a cell phone or playstation where they can sell it bellow cost and make money back through later charges. bandai has to at minimum break even, and expect to be able to turn a profit.

well, it's in the compendium it's stated that starting with the VF-15 (not animated) onward, something called the"biological anti-G boost system is in use on valks. in the compendium its described "This system stimulates the human body with laser, electromagnetic pulse, infrared, and other means to momentarily activate metabolic functions against stress. " this is just speculation, but it's possible that the VF-25 uses a newer version of the same system but it's integrated into the EX-Gear.

it's likely the attack never really happened. the emergency transmission was probably faked.

no, there are three, but when the super parts are attached the inner most one is partially covered by the booster units the hard points are the little rectangles on the underside of the wings

test shot. it looks like the head/super packs are resin, and the rest of the body is final materials.

no, not at all

the SDF-1 is Spacy central command. it was before it was damaged and continued to be afterwords (and besides, the SDF-1 is a landmark, it be like not fixing the statue of liberty if one of the arms fell off)

2008 Sep - VF-25F (Alto) Nov - VF-25S (Ozma) Dec/Jan - VF-25F super (alto) 2009 Jan - VF-25G (Michel) *is the super version wishful thinking?* (yes it is) Mar - RVF-25 (Luca) May - VF-27 (Brera) July - VF-171 (standard) Aug - VF-25S Super + Full Armor - (Ozma) Oct - VF-171 EX (alto) Dec - VF-25G super (michel) and RVF-25 (Luca) 2010... RVF-171 EX - (luca) VF-27 Green Variant never coming Vajra (I'm sad about this one Queadluun-Rea AIF-7S Ghost Fighter - Perhaps a three-pack expansion pack to go with Luca? Koenig Monster (Start saving money if they do release it!) Quarter - Not as 1/72... revisions in red. also there will be special metallic finished versions of alto and ozma somewhere in there (and the will look like ass)

hmm... very interesting. the alto, as a toy actually looks pretty good. it's not accurate to the anime at all, but as a a toy separated form the show it looks good to me (still not buying). as for the armor, it looks good, though I think the armor is too fat (as in it's excessively thick). another thing I've noticed, it looks like the shield has to come off in order to transform, like on the model kit. overall the model looks good, the toy looks decent but not my cup of tea. and as for the gashapons... OMG WANT!!!!

I kinda sorta want to choke you through the internet.

キラッ☆ !

but blue ray sucks, the players are expensive as hell, I'm not getting a f**king PS3 just to watch movies, and not getting english subs defeats the purpose of buying the DVD for me.

the VE-1 and VT-1 also have different heads, and possibly different cockpits/avionics/other internal systems that set them apart. the difference between the VT and VE are at least as great as the difference between the 1A and the 1J. and the mecha designs in DYRL are considered cannon, but not the story. in universe DYRL is a movie produced in 2031 that depict a fictionalized account of the events of SW1. the movie used the 2012 refit version of the SDF-1 and upgraded block 6 VF-1's (the block six's have slightly different heads on the 1A's, and the cockpits have been upgraded with new ejector seats, streamlined controls, and a HUD projected on the entire canopy. as for what I'm using as my transformation reference, I'm basing my points off what I've seen from various line arts, the toy's and models that are out, and the animations themselves. I've seen/have plenty of images to support my points, but it could take me a while to find them all. edit: here's some images and links: the yamato 1/60 SV-51, (the toy's transformation is essentially anime accurate. http://gamu-toys.info/goukin/yamato/sv51/sv5102.html transformation detail on the YF-19 and the VF-25 transformation (the 27 transforms the same way more or less)

which board pray tell?

ok now overwing hard points we have no real evidence for. we see 6 points that look like hardpoints on each wing, up two 4 of them are used in the show. we also see what look like two hard points on the spikes that project from the wing gloves. and as for the legs, the legs have a thin panel that pops open, and under it is the engine. that's it. no room for anything else in there.

can we get pictures from a front angle?

yack, no way. the last thing we need is another VF-1 whatever. the VF-1 is cool and all, but there's been so many kits and toys and what not done of it already. we need something new, and the VF-25 is just that cool. (besides, a PG kit would be 1/48 and we already have a 1/48 VF-1, I want a 1/48 VF-25 to go with it.)

except for at the time the 1/60 valks came out, they WERE the best VF-1's available at the time, they were more detailed, more posable and better portioned than anything else out there. the problem with the DX is that other companies have done valks that look better and are more accurate to the show depiction than this thing. and bandai has already released a VF-25 that looks more correct than the DX in the form of the 1/72 model.

VF-0 varients: 0A - standard variant, 1 head laser, swing wings, single seat 0B - test/trainer variant, 1 head laser, swing wings, two seats 0C - special variant, 1 head laser, delta wings, single seat D - special variant, 1 head laser, delta wings, two seats S - comander variant, 2 head laser, swing wings, 1 seat B and C are only seen as hase model kits. VF-1 varients: 1A - standard/cannon fodder varient, 1 head laser,, single seat 1B - upgraded 1A, (improved avionics+ 1S head) 1D - 2 head laser, two seats 1J - flight lead variant, 2 head lasers, single seat 1S - squadron lead, variant 4 head lasers, single seat 1X - modernized VF-1 (looks like a 1A) VT-1 - dedicated trainer, no head lasers, two seats VE-1 - reconnaissance/AWAC variant, no head lasers, two seats VEFR-1 - electronic warfare variant, no head lasers, two seats VF-1 wins 9 to 5

except that the BDI and the BCS on the 21 doesn't require a neural implant. you put the helmet on and it worked. anyone can put the helmet on and use it. off hand I can't think of any examples of actual implants or human modification in plus, just development in terms of AI. and I'm not saying that they are using the same spacific system on the 21, I'm saying they're using the same type of system. I'm using BDI and BCS as generic terms the same as you would us fly-by-wire or radar. well based on the visible panel lines on the YF-24 it would apear to transform in overall the same way as the 25 and 27 (which would make sence since they are both based off the 24) except they do still the cockpit and forward fuselage point up and the nose pivots the same direction, it just rotates further. not really, the whole oriantation of the cockpit part is different. the SV-51 has the cockpit pointing down at about a 45 degree angle. with the uper torso siting above the cockpit. the 25/27 has the cockpit going strait up with the torso sitting on the nose like the 19. as for the wings, even though the SV-51 ends up with them in the same place they don't get there the same way. on the 51 the two wings are completely separate, and connect to the mech at either shoulder mount via the wing roots. on the 25/27 the wings connect to the backpack which in tern connects to the torso. and one thing no one ever mentions is the arms. on the 25/27 the arms fold behind the uper torso and lay side by side between the legs with the shield filling in the back of the fuselage between the legs just like on the YF-19. On the sv-51 the arms lay on either side of the mech along the engines with the tail planes sticking off the forearms sort of like on the YF-21. here's a picture to explain what I'm trying to say. and heres a highlighted pick to show exactly where all the parts are going.

the reaction missiles were attached to the fastpacks when the mech is wearing the armor packs, but in ep. 16 you see Alto, Michel, and Luca using super packs with a reaction missile on each wing. as for saying that the 25 uses micro missiles internally like the YF-21, the problem is that on the YF-21 it is clearly shown exactly were on the mech the missiles fire from (those black diamonds on the back). On the 25, there isn't even a place were the missiles could possibly come out let alone be stored.
