except for sheryl who's dead

were you the one who was working on making a design to mach the compendium discription of the VF-5?

Single engine VFs? In Mac+? I thought those were VF-14's. I honestly think the lack of single engine valks is more of a stylistic choice on the part of SK than anything else. Designing a single engine valk is undoubtedly harder, but it isn't necessarily guaranteed to yield a more complex valk. I really don't think the design is any more complicated than say the VF-9, and I find some of his solutions rather elegant (the way the upper body moves over the cockpit while pulling up the engine for instance)

Graham's own words.

ok... back to the toy then.... WHEN WILL WE SEE NEW PICS!!! seriously, it's been like a month since anything we haven't seen already has shown up. by the way, anyone want to speculate on the likelyhood of non-cannon/ obscure repaints. I have no idea if bandai ever actualy does this kind of thing, but I I would buy the black striped 25 if they made one, I'd also like the purple striped one and one with a Red version of Michel's paint scheme.

and this is when the acting skills kick in.

that wasn't a war, it was an incident caused by technical difficuties.

the crew was probebly integrated into the frontier population or the military escort. (they may not have even known what was going on. it's possible only a limited number of people on galaxy knew what Grace and Co. were up to). as for the ship, it was probebly scraped and used for part's to maintain the rest of the fleet, or fixed up and put to use but hasn't been shown (I vote for the first option)

this is kind of how I see it. I was alway's under the impression that coloneis are to the NUN as porto rico is to the US; seperate contry, but still part of NUN. and as for the reluctance to call in backup, it's probably because if they did, a NUNS fleet would come in, take over comand of the fleet, and sail it back to the nearest safe location. and leon's little power trip would come to an end.

in theory, it would have 3 engines, 1 big short one in the back for fighter mode, and two skinny one's in each leg for batroid mode. now were have we seen a valk with super short fighter engines and batroid only leg engines? oh right, YF-21

you could. they would be rather unconventional, but you could. the shield is makes up the back of the fighter mode, so you can put something there, and you could attach booster to the wings (you'd probebly want to have them already folded.) the odd part would be leg armor, you could ad it, but based on the way the legs rest on the body, you'd end up with most of the armor on the front and inside of the leg. and you'd need to add a gap/opening pannels for the landing gear to go through... hmm... I have a feeling, I'm going to be doing something with this in the near future.

just because it's not technicaly superior to the 25 doen't mean it has to be numericaly lower than the 25. and just because something is simpler/cheeper looking doesn't mean it's more primative, it could just be filling a different role than the 25 (like with real world jets). design wise it look's to be contemporary to the 25, just cheeper (they did say in the show that the 25 was expensive as hell). if it's introduced after the 25 it would be numbered after it. course maybe it should have been called VF-26 to fill the numerical gap between the 25 and the 27. if it was developed after the 27 then it would be 28 or higher (depending on if there were any other aircaft that were given designations between the 27 and this) then again, aircraft designation isn't alway's sequential, even when it's supposed to be. for instance with real-world US designations F designations jump from F-18 to F-20 and (Y)F-23 to F-35. there is no F-19, and there are no planes with designations F-24 trough F-34. there are lot's of reasons why this happens, but the end result is the same.

I find it really hard to believe that the glass was the president of ALL of the NUN government. their has to be higher up's that the Frontier reports to back to on an actual panet, (I mean who in their right mind would put the leadership of earth and all it's colonies on a fleet that's half way across the galaxy.)

is that anything like pimp juice?

which is basicaly just an F-16 with a 3 peice canopy, a slightly larger wing, and a comprable price tag to an F-22

I think you're right. everyone will die in 25, literally. all of 25 will be a giant 4 way battle between frontier, galaxy, SMS and Vajra with flashes of revelations sprinkled in. every major character will be killed off in dramatic fashion, and at the end the detonate a super DE bomb that they'll show for like 1 second at the end of ep.24 and everyone and everything will be destroyed. then the voices in Graces' head (sans grace herself) start talking in a cryptic fashion that hit's at a continuation that will never materialize.

I think it looks awsome. other than the head and gunpod (not that they're bad, just not very "macrossy"). it looks cool in fighter mode, and I personaly love the batroid, (I think I just have a thing for super skinny mechs)

well, they needed him to die so klan could be used to force some development in the altoxsherylxranka triangle. (wasted of a good character but I'm not writing it.) but I still think he could come back, though there's no way berea saved him. I say he's not dead and he's with the vajra. why, because someone's going to have to convince alto not to kill ranka and all the vajra, and he's the man for the job. (and I'm totaly not in denial here... really I'm not... ) no, just no. If that happens I'm going to get on a plane, fly to japan, and punch someone in the face. and yet, it still would turn the show into some sort of bad fanfiction, won't happen.

somehow I don't think that's a VF, just doesn't look like it could transform to me. OHHH... I when did this show up?

Have you ever had to try and act to nothing? Neither have I but its probably hard. Having the 25's there gives the actors something to interact with. Also it gives the digital animators good reference footage for things like shadow and reflection when they fix everything. In 50 years doing the CG is probably cheap, but it still helps to have something physical there. And the SMS was probably already there acting as technical advisers, so they might as well use the valks while they’re at it. now what I wanna know is where did they get a F'ing SH-60 Seahawk 50 years from now half way across the known galaxy?

oh, you want stories, I've got stories. and there are more disturbing thing's on 4chan than /b/ if you can believe it. also 7chan...

2ch is the byproduct of japan existing. it's in japanese. 4ch is the rectum of the english speaking world. I know, I've been there... the things I've seen man, the things I can never unsee

I so want to see that.

if that were the case, we should be able to see the shield sticking out out the back of the valk, but instead there's nothing.

the newest thing I've finished... VF-25A "Sheryl Guard" (i.e. minmei guard moon act) I had this weird compultion to do this, so I did. and it was one of the most painful photoshop experiances I've ever had... and yet now I want to do a Ranka Paris act version... anyway's I'll try to get back to the side lineart now.
