Or they just wanted something cheap to offset the AI development costs.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I think we just don't SEE destroids later. We know at the very least they made the VB-6, which was a variable Monster(I hate it, but it's canon). Offers the speedy delivery advantages of an airplane(Supersonic no less. I'm gonna hurl.), while maintaining the awesome firepower of a Monster(when on the ground, since the cannons are used as part of the propulsion system in airplane mode).

From Macross Compendium: 2005 ... August Withdrawal from Mars Base led by Harry Miler. September The third Oberth class space destroyer Tsiolkovsky is hijacked by the Anti-United Nations Military Organization. September 8 1800: The return fleet from Mars is destroyed with 3055 United Nations forces personnel onboard by this [aforementioned] destroyer's attack. September 10 Official announcement of the Mars return fleet's destruction by the United Nations Military Headquarters. And I don't think Robotech altered the timeline enough for Mars Base to be "destroyed" by Zentradi. I'm pretty sure it was still "destroyed" before the Zentradi made it to the solar system. (we have to do the "destroyed" bit, because the base was intact)

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, the YF-21's battroid DID kind of suck on the ground.

And the YF-21/VF-22, which is one of the few where battroid mode isn't just airplane origami. They worked hard on making a good battroid in that mech.

Salvador Dali?

A VF would be lousy at replacing a tank. (That's what destroids are for.) But what it WOULD be good at is... A. hauling ass on wide open flat spaces in GERWALK mode. Let's be honest, a GERWALK's gonna blow by an Abrams like it's standing still. And I DARE you to find a tank with limited flight capability. Let the tank/destroid do it's job while the GERWALK darts around covering it. And ... B. Urban combat. Tanks SUCK at urban combat. They aren't maneuverable enough. But battroids don't suck. They can dart around corners like nothing, crouch behind rubble, et cetera. Only SOME destroids(the Spartan and... the Spartan) are really built for urban combat. A group of VFs can be deployed to a distant area faster than a group of Spartans, though this advantage is balanced by the reduced durability. The GBP-1S can be used on local VFs to essentially convert them into a destroid should the need arise, giving you a mech with a nice mix of the Spartan's agility and the Phalanx's missile capacity(in fact, I'd be suprised if a destroid based on the GBP-1S design wasn't made later). GERWALK mode CAN be useful in urban combat, but only if the area's clean enough. ... Did I mention that VFs are cool?

Huh? The ski mask? Errr, I was... ummm... *runs*

I guess I downloaded that plugin then. Lemme check... http://www.ngemu.com/psx/plugins.php?cat=1...=win32&type=pad Pick a plugin. The only one I've used signifigantly is Segu's, and I admit it's not the flashiest. And while it shouldn't affect the VF-X series, it lacks rapid-fire buttons, which I think some other plugins have.

What's a set of trooper armor run these days, anyhow. It's been awhile since I've looked into this stuff. I still need a full set of Clone/Stormtrooper armor for display in the den. Someday, anyway..... Yeah, I was looking into a TIE outfit a bit through google. Not cheap And I'm afraid it'd lable me a loser... but wouldn't it be cool if I put Imperial Navy insignia on my car and drove around in a TIE uniform? Vostok 7 That's a better plan than I ever got. I got stuck at stealing a Mercury Cougar logo and painting it red and black, for that authentic Thundercats look. ... C'mon, it's perfect for the job.

But the poll works so much better this way... I have to say it's because the multi-mode setup made it a very useful general-purpose vehicle. Sure it was a fighter plane, but look at what else it did. GERWALK especially was a rather unique capability. Sort of like a tank on meth. Anyways, it revolutionized warfare. You no longer have to claim air superiority before starting the ground war, because air and ground battles can be fought with the same vehicle. At the very least, you can start the ground war before the destroids get marched in. ... And it's cool.

We got Max, they got... Kamjin. No wonder we won.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I'll try it when I get home tonight in about another 5 hours. I doubt it would work with the FPs though as those things are just so darn heavy. Graham Wanna borrow some popsicle sticks to prop it up?

Yes, he just left it dangling. Seriously, Flashback 2012, while a nice program, merely put into animation what had already been stated at the end of the TV series.

son? He had a son? I know they had a daugter but I don't remember any mention of a son. Although if I think really hard....Basara does have Hikaru hair...but then again he also looks a lot like Kaifun...hmm Hmmm.... *hastily puts pen down and sets fire to some papers*

Saw this on eBay. Skull One like you've never seen it before.

In PSXeven? Click the advanced button, go to the bottom, and for the pad1 plugin change from "Segu Direct Input Keyboard Driver" to "segu Direct Input Joystick Driver".

(Link here.) Yeah also from the Compendium: Mass cloning turned out to be a disaster. vinnie It's a logical conclusion. As the number of clones increases, so does the amount of inbreeding. Eventually you HAVE to stop cloning and let the genes get mixed up the way nature intended. They carried the project on untill the (likely predicted) negative side effects started showing, then cancelled it before things got worse. It served its purpose in repopulating the Earth in a fraction of the time otherwise required. I would consider it far from a disaster.

1/1 isn't an option...

HAHAHA!

Just as a heads-up... In my experience PSXeven is a better emulator than ePSXe. http://batard.psxfanatics.com/

Well, I'm sure we would pay much less for each part of our collection sometimes Just thing: This weekend at Wallmart!!! Tomatoe and spinach 20% off ! All Soul of Chogokin products 2x1!

Lap'lamiz drove a purple ship. That's the extent of distinctive ship design as far as I know.
