Technically Kawamori's version of Gundam was 0083 stardust memory.

I don't get why everyone rags on the F-35 it’s not like there trying to replace EVERY plane with it. There replacing things like F-16's, F-18's and AV-8B's (harriers). those plans already do the Swiss army knife, do every job you throw at them thing, the F-35 can just do it better with newer tech. were still going to have specialty planes to handle the air superiority role (F-22's) things are going to be exactly the same as they are now except with stealth. --edited for can't spell.

skull-1, you make about as much sense as those homeless guys who sit outside of department stores and yell at people.

The military wouldn't use a TF-22 trainer because a cheaper alternative is already available in the T-38. But the T-38 is cheaper because it is a smaller, older aircraft built using Vietnam War era technology. the T-38 is still an effective trainer however because if you look past all the stealth and fancy computer systems on an F-22 its still just move a stick and the plane pitches, yaws, rolls and accelerates; just like the T-38. On a VF-1 however there is no equivalent already in existence. There are no pre existing production aircraft that can turn into a Giant fighting robot which you can use as a trainer. You’re going to need something to train people on how to operate those alternate modes, and the cheapest way to do that is to modify the VF-1 (the only variable plane available.) Once they went on to newer VF's like the VF-4 or the VF-11 they were probably still using VT-1's for training purposes as those are fine for teaching the basics of Gerwalk and Batroid piloting.

Careful, statements like that can get you branded for life.

the missile pods on the top do come off. and the difference is very minimal. but it has a ghoast.

considering he's refering to the toys for this movie I would say he was spot on.

yes, yes they do... But I think its got more to do with graham just liking to make you all suffer. YAY! not cannon fodder no more!

OK, right... that was very... umm... shure. there were several shots of F-22's in there, anyone think that was starscream? oh, and the scene with incinerator was pretty cool.

I hope yamato just goes ahead and makes them. if they did do you think they'ed remember to include the nose probe and the spin recovery chute on the orange version?

Let’s see, In the OVA the stand alone ghost had internal missile bays because it was meant to act as a stand alone fighter. The ghosts strapped to the VF-0’s were striped down versions that were basically just an engine and control surfaces.

why not a two-seater. seems to work well for india.

I've been looking at the barricade render for 15 minutes now, and I still can't figure out how THAT is saposed to be a mustang.

Funny, I would hate to see any of these made into movies. actualy i wouldn't mind Vampire hunter D but they would have to fallow the books to the letter. which would be dificult as theirs like 13 of them.

Is it just me or does anyone else thing that Roy's face looks... off. Every time I look at it I get the feeling that the figure is having very dirty thoughts.

Oh yhea, now I recognize the scene. What was the explosion seen form space at the very beginning form, I swear I've seen it before? Oh and hears another one. Looks like a lot of the same content, but with different editing.

I was about to say... or maybe he just hase realy massive caves. it looks realy awsome.

lets see... the Island war of the worlds spiderman irobot X-men Matrix constantine and 2 or 3 movies I've seen who's names escape me right now. oh and terminator 3. remindes me how glad I am that the live action EVA project died.

Assuming that there number represents their position in the squadron, then that would mean he outranked both max and Hikaru, as the #3 man is usually the second highest ranked and second most experienced (right after the squadron leader).

the colors are defenatly different, but I'm going to play the optimist and say that the pics of the actual toy are what the production will be like and the offical shots are of an older version. (it turned out that way on the VF-0A, why not here)

a discussion I'd like to hear about, maybe we should just branch this topic off so we can stop hijacking this thread.

god I hope your right personaly though I'm hoping for a VF-0D (you just have to love the delta)

Oh man I'm so geting one of these. looks like theres going to be a lot of goodness comeing form yamato real soon.

lets see. there's the part you just out lined. the big similarity I see is the relationship between isamu and guld is a bit like the relationship between maverick and iceman (val kilmer). in that isamu/maverick are both natural born pilots but are arrogant hotshot apefaces and Guld/iceman is the expert pilot that's totaly by the books and this aposing nature cases them to but heads in an extremely competitive environment.
