Not really, if you look REALLY closely at the Vf-27 and how it transforms it's actually identical to the VF-25, which in turn is actually more like the YF/VF-19's transformation The similarities between the VF-27 and the SV-51 are all purely cosmetic. The three toed feet, the funky canards, and how the torso and winds look in batroid mode look similar, but they don't transform in anywhere near the same way. OOU its Sk reusing the elements that he currently likes putting on 'evil' mechs. in universe, it's probably a case of two designers in two different times independently coming up with the same solutions to similar design problems. (It happens in the real world.)

eww... awful movie

very cool talos, so does the AB VF-4 still look like a school girl uniform in Batroid mode?

WHAT THE DEUCE?!?!? so does this mean the Battle Galaxy transforms, or that there's actualy a battle galaxy at all? I've alway's wondered how exactly the Galaxy as a ship was set up. is the Barney looking ship we've seen so far the whole galaxy (battle and civilian sections) or is it just the battle portion. also if it is the island section, where do people live, in the green disk things?

huh? to make line art? to color with? I cant think of anything that's good AND free. MS paint is the last thing to use. for making line art you really need Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. anything less really won't yield good results. also you can make line art in Photoshop, but it's tedious as hell and not as good, I just do it because I suck at Illustrator.

again I really wish I had a better grasp of things like physics.

wilber? who's wilber?

screw that, she's dead! (damnit stop killing off the characters I like. kill luca or leon, hell kill brera. leave sheryl alown though man )

if only.... this sucks waiting for subs...

well, we did try to put a nuclear reactor on a bomber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion short version is you can suck air into an engine, and superheat it with a nuclear reactor and shoot it out the back. but it didn't work because if you had proper radiation containment and shielding the plane would be to heavy to fly; and if you don't then the crew gets irradiated, and you end up turning the planes flight path into a fallout zone without ever dropping a bomb.

so they were expecting altos flying style.

how's it hypocritical, we want official subs and to have actual DVD's but we would like to know what is going on in the last two episodes without haveing to wait a year.

well, the EX-Gear IS the seat (it's like a valk, but rather than a robot that turns into a jet, it's a robot that turns into a chair), and I think they just leave the EX-Gear in the plane unless the pilot ejects with it. edit: as for the G compansation thing, to quote the compendium (from the VF-15 entry): the pilots survive high G's through systems that temporarily make the body more resilient to G loads up to a point. beyond that you still die. I think in some way's it works like energy conversion armor, except on your flesh and bones.

not to be a buzzkill, but I'm going to call BS on this until we get a more official source. looks way to much like a tweeked 1/72 to me.

found it. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...=VF-5&st=0 I forgot how old this thread was.

the most recent version is the gray unpainted VF-25F

sadly we'll be waiting until the VF-11 toy's unveiled.

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.
