that's a nice schematic you got there and i got to agree that there is serious distortion in the city however, i thought that the city located in the legs was connected to another portion in the torso? is the torso all UN HQ or another possible extension of parks and residential areas? Why do they have cars in the first place if they were only gonna run for 300 meters back and forth the city...

Any idea on what length is the sdf-1's main cannon? the macross is 1.2km in length so I was wondering on how much is allocated to macross city including un spacy hq?

I played the DYRL just recently. It was a pretty decent shooter and it really made me feel relive the movie again. I just had a thought at the back of my head that the narration with the new opening scenes should be included for a new Macross DYRL version if they ever decide to do that. I think it bridges the gap why macross is in saturn in the first place. Just wanna ask if somebody here can provide a clear direct translation of the opening narration and the narration after the space fold?

Does the DYRL HD Remastered contain the intro japanese texts ant cut scenes from the dyrl video game prior to the scene where the 2 zentradi talk?

my money would go to ozma, check out the wikipedia entry of frontier episodes, goodbye, sister is the title.....next on the line is luca followed by another pixie squad.

The VF-171 kicks alien butt! It was pretty cool and it had a pin point barrier system for power punches.hehe, I think that pilot in ep. 14 was the survivor from galaxy... It really did look like the vf-17, although it has a slim battroid design

HA!HA! I might have been wrong of saying it was a supervision army ship but atleast I did not persist on speculating it was the SDF-1....! And to think some of you wanted to cry because I said it was not the SDF-1.... who's crying and laughing now?! Eat that!

Maybe that the WTF-1 is another WTF-1 of different origin. The Macross that crashed on earth was under the supervision army. An episode of the original macross during the factory satellite operation revealed that a similar macross class was spotted but they had to avoid it because it might be booby trapped. So I'm thinking that there are more than just 1 WTF-1s on the galaxy. This must be a supervision army relic. stay tuned for the next episode....

The Vajra are anti-UN forces...check this out...the octos mecha in macross zero transform like the red type vajra...the big machine in the VFX-2 game that is 4 legged is similar to the octos and red vajra,is also anti-un property....In macross 0 dr. hassford got a blood sample from sarah nome, the anti-un forces have kept the existing data from dr. hassfords studies of the mayan island and the birdhuman, those who survived space war I have new anti-un followers aboard macross galaxy...maybe through genetic manipulation and experiments, they developed sheryl nome as a clone of sarah to sing the song of destruction...the vajra are the smaller or production versions of the birdhuman. since the vajra are biomechanical. how they got the data to produce the vajra is probably because someone working with aries is a double agent aboard the Asuka in macross zero stole the data with the blood dripping from the birdhuman...he/she survives space war I also. sheryl must be the puppet of the anti-un and uses her celebrity image as a front because in the end, after destroying macross frontier, the anti-un who i think is composed of zentran, meltrans, humans and even zolans will strike at the many different fleets scattered across the galaxy to take over the NUNS.

Hi guys! Can somebody here give me an overview of the plot of Macross VFX 1 and 2? What about M3 in the dreamcast? Is it true that VFX2 is related to frontier and are these games canon and have any historical significance in the macross timeline?

Regarding Battroid/Gerwalk controls:\ MF showed us how hands are used in battroid and gerwalk, in episode 2 alto presses several buttons in the stick to pick-up ranka lee. Maybe that's how Roy threw a rock as a dummy for Ivanov in M0 and how Hikaru grabbed Myn mei in SDF 1. These are probably basic controls in grabbing other objects That however still doesn't answer how Isamu flipped his gun and used it to club Gould in MPlus episode 2. Does he flip a switch which commands melee combat?Or the 2 handed attack with the bayonet for that matter. Real world combat fighters like eurofighter and jsf and F-22 have voice commands for displays and weapons management. This I suggest is a probable answer when Battroids do too humanoid actions in combat. Another point to ponder on is how Battroids do different poses. Maybe from 2040 beyond as 1 of our forum mates suggest that the computer linked to the pilot via his helmet help him choose what poses or actions to do and that translates how the Vf would move in battroid.... maybe an old system of pre-BDI technology is used to do human actions like kneeling.. I don't think pulling back the throttle and pressing both pedals are an answer to that. Or how michael's Vf touched his cheek when klan slapped him. how about alto doing that kabuki pose? O yeah just a thought...in SDFM, max used zentradi clothes, was there a program in the computer to do that using pedals, throttle and stick? There's just too many questions, I wonder if Kawamori can answer that........i have a feeling it's anime magic.

thanks for the referral boinger

Well, the term Vajra is hindu or buddhist.....Messiah is alright......think of it as Evangelions fighting Angels......

Has anyone watched the opening sequence of macross frontier? If you guys could notice in the intro,nearing the end of the clip, there was a female with what looks like face paint on her cheek.. is she a vajra or maybe protoculture? and there was a shot where a vf-25 silhoutte would meet with what looks like another variable fighter but not a vf-25 nor vf171...looks like more of the a protodeviln mecha from m7, ...any comments?

I was watching M0 again and we all know that with sheryl nome's singing, she was able to lift rocks and magically revive plants, and i noticed that they are able to connect telepathically,(pls. correct me if I am wrong.) the example was like mao shouting or trying to communicate with shin when he was going straight to sara...now here's the thing ....are the priestess of Mayan island or people from mayan islands anima spiritia? I didnt watch the whole of M7 but from what I read Basara is and Anima Spiritia, is it possible that he is a descendant from a surviving mayan villager?

if a remade was done...fire bomber should not fly silly looking valkyries while playing music. instead, they should be place on a dome near battle 7 or somewhere in the heart of the fleet where they can jam all they want with sound boosters surrounding them. atleast basara and fire bomber can't ruin the story and be sidelined as just military assets and he can't get in the way of military. and from there, they can generate the so called spiritia energy to counter the protodeviln the story should be done from the point of view of the military and not from basara and his pacifist singing crap. it could be nice if they focused on the max jenius and the military and this includes diamond and emerald force. pls no more fire bomber crap! fighters from from regulars to special forces should be equipped with sound boosters to confuse the varauta or protedeviln while fire bomber sings their songs and at the same time be equipped with missiles and guns and shoot down those varauta bastards. and add more real dogfight scenes. same thing goes for the ships. with numrous sound booster attached to any military asset they could bring them down in no time and not focus resources on fire bomber valkyries and basara especially. a darker story with deaths and losses affecting the citizens and characters and the need to show more emotion and desperation of survival for macross 7

just what exactly was the plot of the vfx 1 game? who are the milky dolls? what about the story of vfx2? I just wished they did a game with english subtitles

can somebody translate exactly the japanese texts seen on the screen before skull squad took off from the carrier? And the texts shown after doing the fold operation. pls. translate exactly,

wouldn't it be nice if side stories where done for each series of macross? like a side story of other squadrons engaged in the space war I or the life of destroid pilots during that time what do you think?

Elminate fire bomber and basara nekki. the focus should be on battle 7 on how max jenius handles the situation improve the fight scenes.

Vf-25 toryu (demon slayer)

The story was rushed and could have been expanded to more episodes. Personally, it's much better compared to Mac 7 with all of that basara and fire bomber crap. Atleast in macross II you get decent valkyrie action and explosions. See mac 7 and your see the same cheap action sequence. o yeah, episode 4 with all the macross cannons and white ox and firebolt units launching was great.

Macross 7 could have been great. It was a direct sequel to the original series and it include probably the greatest ace of the macross universe, max jenius. The last few episodes of the series was closer and had a serious tone like the original. How i wish that from episode 1 to up to before the ruins were discovered were given more seriousness and no the typical monster of the week theme. You don't need numerous episodes to make a series. You nedd quallity episode. The singing and not so eye candy fight scenes just alienated us all. How i wish the fight scenes from the first part of the series were like the one on the last few episodes and just like in the movie. The story would have been more interesting, it's a shame it turned out different. O yeah what i like about mac 7 is its potential that wasn't given any thought cheers!

I hope I don't get shot for this, but what about making a 3 volume compilation movie of the original series??? The orginal gundam franchise skyrocketed to immortality because of this and the new translation of zeta gundam also resulted to big bucks for the franchise. animation errors should be changed and additional new scenes like what the zeta gundam movie did are a big welcome. Or even using CGI for all combat scenes while retaining the old animation for others. somebody here running the website should contact kawamori and his group so that are voices are heard and not be stuck in just forums.

The ending made me say, "huh!!?" Therefore a an extended special edition of episode 5 should be done that narrates the events after the bird human. The 1st episode should also be revised especially the prologue so that they could give us a better background of how and what caused the unification wars. As well as how important the crash of the sdf-1 was to the world. And of course, a more expanded discussion between aries and roy regarding that protoculture theory. I'm saying this so that the new generation of viewers that don't know anything about the original 1980's macross will understand it more.
