    Generations of VF's

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted · Edited by Kronnang Dunn

    I'd go so far as to classify them:

    Generation 1:

    VF-1, VF-0, SV-51

    (technically the VF-0 and SV-51 are only testbed fighters, and shouldn't really be considered finished products. Nevertheless, aside from the thermonuclear engines, there isn't a technological difference between them and the VF-1)

    Actually, it can. It has the same low-thrust manuevering verniers as later VFs. Even the VF-0B painting by Tenjin Hidetaka has "space proving wing" on the side. Of course, it wouldn't be able to use it's conventional engines. But hey, it's not like it was designed to be put into combat, either.

    I read somewhere that the SV-51 was designed for combat since the begining and was more stable during battle, able to hover and with VTOL in fighter mode. However, it consumed its fuel pretty fast due to its engines and had slow transformation times.

    The VF-0 on the other hand was a rushed combat capable prototype, with little underwater operations capacity, no outerspace operations capacity, overheating engine problems, low ammunition and no VTOL in Gerwalk mode...

    All in all, the VF-1 is waaay superior to them, despite the lack of passive stealth. I don't think is fair to put the VF-1 in the same league of the Macross Zero valkyries...

    In Japan, the story of Part.01 is blamed with Ranka's fans.

    Because Sheryl is Heroine in this part.

    Is that a guy dressed like Ranka? LOL who is he? :blink::lol:

    Hoo... Looking the spoilers I can see where the direction of the next movie is.

    Me too. And I like it... This film

    basically resumed the series but the Vajra are still the enemies and Galaxy's agenda is not yet revealed.

    I bet the second film will cover that... and more! B))

    My friend had a job interview in Dec. 2006 for a position at Satellite. During that interview they told him they were already in early production of a new Macross series for the anniversary. Very hush hush, even though he told me and in Feb. of 2007 I was in LA and I told a few MW members at a Frank & Sons meet up that there was a new series being made but you didn't hear it from me kind of thing. So that all per-dates Gundam 00 Season 1 first trailer aired on June 2, 2007.

    So what you got now. B))

    Weren't both shows sponsored by some of the same companies? I wouldn't be surprised if there was some influence there. Also of note is the fact that Frontier started just as the first season of 00 ended.

    So it only took the Frontier staff six months to slap together the show? Fast work, considering most TV anime is in development for a few years before they debut.

    Actually information about the characters and units of 00 was revealed in summer 2008. Mikhail and his sniper variant first appeared in April 2009. That's nearly 10 months... ^_^

    If you didn't like it... why did you rewatch it?

    LOL, Because many of my female friends love it... (just for the characters) :lol::rolleyes:

    That's why I call it the Beverly Hills 90210/Gossip Girl/Twilight of mecha anime.

    How could Frontier have ripped it off from 00, considering the two shows were being developed more or less simultaneously?

    Gundam 00 Season 1 first trailer aired on June 2, 2007. The show ran from October 6, 2007 to March 29, 2008.

    Macross Frontier Deculture Edition was aired on December 23, 2007. The actual series ran from April 3, 2008 to September 25, 2008.

    Nuff' said... :rolleyes:

    While I liked the idea of sniper mecha and the way it was depicted in Frontier, I must add that it was obviously taken from Gundam 00.... a very very overhyped anime (I've seen it and re-seen and I still do not like it!!!).

    I agree with Itano's complaints about how most mecha anime today is just following trends. Not true innovation anymore... :unsure:

    What would you prefer?

    Don't we already have a thread discussing what the next Macross might be/should be/could be/shouldn't be?

    Yep, but I wanted to learn everybody else's opinion about a remake... so I started this thread and made the poll focusing more on the SDF remake, inspired by the CGI footage seen in the new Fever Macross pachinko game... :rolleyes:

    Its perfectly fine as it is.

    Indeed. Don't get me wrong. I love the original. What I meant was that it would be interesting to see it redone with Frontier style animation (or better!) and some new alternate designs from that era that didn't appear in the first series (imagine the SDP-1 Stampede or some VF-0s thrown in for fun).
