Personally I love the VF-25. I do notice it is a lot like the VF-1, but the VF-1 was one of my all time favorites in design. I am an Aerospace Engineering student (focusing on spacecraft) so this kind of thing really is what gets me interested. I can kind of see the VF-25 as a cross between the VF-1 design and the VF-19 in the transformation in some ways. I just like the VF-25 all over now. Before that I was really interested in the VF-22, but now I just can't wait for more episodes of Frontier to see more of this plane. Also, seriously, when do new episodes start?

I can't seem to find it, but what is the date for when the series 'officially' starts, I'd like to know. As for all of this, I can see both ways how Frontier could be connected to Megaroad 1 and Macross Zero. The spiral designs on the Vajra make me wonder if they have a related to AFOS from Macross Zero. There was a lot of mystery left behind with that, it would be nice to learn what exactly the Birdman was. At the same time it could have been the Vajra that caused Megaroad 1's disappearance. There are many possibilities, only time can tell.

Something to keep in mind about the genius pilot thing is in the trailer we did see a Blue and White VF-25. However it seems to me it was just a pre-lim for the first episode because if you match it up, the blue and white valk from the trailer does the same stuff that Ozma's grey/yellow armored valk does in ep.1. Whether this means he was going to have a blue originally or they are saving it for someone else I cannot guess.

I knew Robotech first, and at the time I didn't know that the other side was any different. Ironically the way of learned of Robotech was unique. I saw information and stuff on the game Robotech Battlecry which looked really cool to me at the time (in retrospect, I see now how it kind of sucked, but it still holds a place in the heart). Before I ever bothered to get this game I was a fan of all Science Fiction and mecha like things like Gundam. I went to the Robotech site to read up about this show and I was hooked on it. Then I bought that game and played it through. Eventually I learned through the internet that Robotech was in fact an Americanization of 3 Japanese anime. The interesting thing is however that I only really liked the Macross saga portion of Robotech, I could never bring myself to watch the rest, it seemed to not fit, I now know why. I eventually bought the remastered DVD's of Robotech the Macross saga, which I quite enjoyed. Since I'm an engineering buff, I was looking up for more information on the Veritechs (bear with the word people, it actually makes a bit of sense as an acronym), and I eventually started seeing a lot of stuff on Macross Valkyries from many of the OVA's, movies, and series. This led me to eventually rent the dubbed version of Macross Plus the movie edition. Ever since that day I was an official Macross fan. I from there looked up more information and such. I've wanted to buy the DVDs of the English dubbed Macross series but I've always come short of actually doing it. The thing for me is, despite Macross, which I agree is better than the Robotech version of the story and makes a lot more sense, I still like Robotech (Macross saga only though) and truthfully I still think of those characters by their American names a lot (Rick Hunter and Lisa for example, and I still like to think of Global/Gloval as Russian rather than Italian). So I walk the line as a fan of both versions while knowing Macross makes more sense and I now mainly favor that side, Robotech will still always be there in some form.

First post for me here, woot. Anyway, I kind of agree with that sentiment. I'd like a story arc where the Frontier fleet happens upon a derelict Megaroad 01 which has no life on it but a recording left by Hikaru and Misa that told what happened and how it ended. Tell a whole story in flashbacks that way.
