JB0

Undoubtedly. Pr'ly more so if it has the spring-loaded missile launchers. Later releases had the guns disabled due to stupid child safety regulations.

Maybe?

Correct. Well, almost. Early reactive armor is only designed to interfere with HEAT ("high explosive anti-tank, a.k.a. "shaped charge") rounds. Newer reactive armor can also interfere with AP. And in case anyone's wondering, it's been around since at least 1982--there are pictures of Syrian tanks in Lebanon which have it. It gives them a texture kind of like The Thing from Fantastic Four. The U.S. uses it too. That part in M0 where Roy's 1S has reactive armor doesn't strike me as particularly accurate, by the way, but since I've never seen a super slo-mo of a round hitting reactive armor, I could easily be mistaken. Well, I thought HEAT rounds WERE a kind of armor-piercing weapon. They sure punch through it well enough...

And make their website work right!

That's diffrent. Reaction weaponry = nuclear reaction = nukes. And the Earth is the only people with reaction weaponry, because the protoculture took it back from the Zentradi. Reactive armor = the armor reacts to an attack. Almost invariably means there's explosives that blow up, interfering with armor-piercing weaponry. Overtechnology = super-high-tech stuff reverse-engineered from the Macross.

Neither do X-Wings. And if an X-Wing was a Valkyrie, it owuldn't have proton torpedoes. And Valkyries have reaction missiles. NUKE TEH SONS OF DAUGHTERS!11

*sighs* I want a new Votlron, but ... it looks UGLY. *sighs again* Too bad I never finished that die-cast set when I was little. Then broke the 2 lions I DID have.

Wouldn't that mean a Valkyrie was the ultimate weapon?

Well, it's from Akira, and appears to be red... That's about all I know.

Beause Focker was bad-ass enough to NOT have an ugly heatshield.

Millia. Provided, of course, I can skip the knife in the face on the first date...

I TOLD her to dodge, not block!

HAHA! It looks constipated!

I had PB&J and some nachos.

Maybe Patlabor, I DID see that once. ... Looked some pics up, 'S not it. I've never played Armored Core, that can't be it. I think the SV-51 is it. The windshield gives it the right head shape. Thanks,

DAMMIT! The headlight makes me think of something, but I can't figure out what!

No prob. According to Macross Compendium, ep. 4 is scheduled for a spring release.

They aren't out yet. Dunno when they come out.

Ay-ay-ay... That's what everyone always assumes, but it's just NOT true. Look hard enough and YES, there ARE Toynami valks on the shelves of stores in Tokyo. And it pisses me off. I want to know how the hell they're getting away with this. imports? same can be said about yamato toys here. ya but we're talkin about "store shelves". You can't find Yammys on Toys R Us stores in the US, all because of the HG "Blows" license thingy Can you find Toynami MPCs on TRU shelves in Japan? I doubt so. Assume HG never interfered, and Toycom is able to distribute Yamatos freely in the US. I doubt we'll see them on US TRU shelves still. To date I have yet to see any toys distributed by Toycom on TRU shelves. I've only seen their products at comic stores. I've seen them in game stores too. Haven't actually CHECKED toy stores...

I smell a friendly-fire accident in your version of Hikaru's future. ... Well, another friendly-fire accident.

That's what I was thinking.

I was looking around that site and i found this "One of Harmony Gold's flagship titles is Robotech, the Japanese anime franchise that includes a groundbreaking TV series originated in 1985; two feature films, novels, comic books and toy" What exactly are the 'two feature films'? I hope they dont cound DYRL? as one of them Hybridchild That's just their domestic cataloge, they're more of an international distributor. Doesn't answer the question at all.

Fanboy says Space War 1. He wants to live the show. He also needs a good slap in the head. Intellectual says post SW1. He wants to see what sort of societal changes are brought about by a need to rebuild humanity on a post-apocalyptic world. Voice of reason says MacPlus. That seems a pretty safe timezone.

Well there's only so much you can do to an existing design before you reach it's technical limit. They may have implemented some ideas from OT (OverTechnology) to get a slightly more effecient engine. Or it could be something like getting the F-14 up to spec of current fighters is use. Probably at this point in the war, they've lost lots of fighters. They have lots of older fighters that could still be used. But considering that they used technology which is 10-20 years old by that time, they need to bring those fighters up to the level that their current fighters were at. It could be like taking an early 1980s car and modifying the insides of the car to bring it up to an equivalent car of today without changing the look of the car (i.e., no body kits, no lowering, etc). IMO, that's what the F-14s in M0 are. Yeah. I figured Starscream was actually a tad of a stretch. But hypothetically, the insides of the jet could be all new with only the frame being the same, if I'm not mistaken. That'd be a LOT diffrent than a standard F-14. Obviously your ultimate limit is the stress the frame can take, though that limit might can be bypassed with overtech energy armor like the VFs have. Depends on how exactly it works. ... I guess that WOULD be bringing the F-14 up to modern spec.

Yah. Teh art shows her saluting. The actual photos of the kit show it going straight down.
