now it seems like even the vajra fold reactor is purpleish... meaning that shiny purple element has the ability to transcend vast distances, transmit sounds/signals even fold without the problems posed by the fold faults. some extra-dimensional thingy. lets just hope that its not gonna be some 'flower-of-life' thing that the vajra need it to survive, which explains why they wanna capture Luca/ interest in Ranka...

woooah!! good point!! we can see a purpleish tint on the tip of that fold transmitter. explains how the prototype transmitter was able to send signals to control the ghost drones (does it mean the ghosts must have similar gems to receive signals?) and also even send real time signals back to the Frontier which was light years away. all these despite the vajra jamming. so Ranka must own something similar for the vajra to target her? but then what about all the singing and music attracting/reviving the vajra?

yup, maybe. but looking at the sideview schematics, we know that the Kaitos and Dulfim are different class of ships (look at the pic posted by Morph). And when the Monster was landing on the deck of Dulfim, we see that it has an orange hull. So far, we see the M-Galaxy has 2 types of warships - the greenish one and an orangey one (apart from the Galaxy itself). When the orangey ship de-fold close to the 2 RVF-171 in the previous ep, iirc they clearly stated that it was the Kaitos, so i really think it's a mistake by the animators / scriptwriters. BTW, there were supposed to be at least 6-7 warships de-folding, wonder if Dulfim is really the only one surviving and... actually its a miracle considering how much time it took for the distress signal to reach Frontier (with all the fold faults causing possibly a few days delay), and the time to deploy the rescue team (SMS was waiting and waiting)...

not really that odd, if u think of sheryl as an orphan. but i suppose there's some story behind her parents and that pair of earrings. yup, i think that's a real possibility. both of them having no relatives or memory of their parents. And the blood testing, we didn't get any info about Ranka after that... we've already established that Ranma is the hermaphrodite in this episode, evidence is her very famous protrusion!! if Sheryl is another hermaphrodite, we need to see some bulge. but it'd explain Sheryl and Ranma being sisters/brothers/siblings. oops... i mean Ranka..

Glad to know u're safe Kresphy! and thanks for that screencap. yup, it looks like NUNS logo to me. not only the logo, the fighter was given the designation VF-27, which is clearly an indication that there's some connection with NUNS, perhaps a secret project, watever... the VF-25 was said to be independently designed based on the YF-24, so there's a possibility that the VF-27 could be another design based on YF-24, albeit being much more highly advanced.

yup no idea on how is the M-Galaxy. My guess is that the survivors do not know the answer as well, probably everybody got lost amidst the confusion and messed up communications, so the M-Galaxy will be officially "missing", perhaps only to turn up later (like the M5? ). it really looks like Brera wasn't really hostile - he could've killed Alto & Luca if he wanted to. The hammerheads inside the vajra carrier were probably shot down by Brera, so there's a possibility of a 3-way war here . And the vf-27 is way faster than vf-25!! Brera was behind Alto but he got into the carrier first, kills those hammerheads, and hides(?) behind the pillar near Luca. Firepower was way above that of the vf-25...

nope, that is definitely NOT the M-Galaxy that was destroyed by the vajra carrier. Kaitos was the ship that was blown up. We still do not have any idea where/how is the M-Galaxy at this time. Kaitos http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3175/denebkaitosaye3.jpg strange - the kaitos looks different? color (it was orangy last ep) and shape. Now the Dulfim is orange in color and looks much more like the Kaitos from last ep. I suspect this could be a confusion by the animators. Another thing is - why did the vajra capture Luca? There must be something they want? doesn't make sense since so far, we've only seen vajra kill people... After re-watching, it seems like the fold fault was what caused Kaitos to take so much time to escape (need to get to a clear area to fold), but the vajra carrier seems to fold thru the fault without problems. Could this be due to an advanced fold technology - aka the fold reactor found by Luca? Lastly, Magical Girl Sheryl for u pervs http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2600/magi...lsherylaur7.jpg

yeah, hope he's ok. maybbe one of the mods can check his IP, see if its anywhere near the epicenter of quake (Sichuan?). or does anyone visit or know his nick at his chinese forum? hmmm ALIENS? BTW, did anyone mention the MQ is 400meters? as pointed out by the Captain.

nope. it was mentioned in one of the Toysdaily threads, at least 3 people mentioned their shades broke. iirc they said it broke when they were swapping the chest parts, but IMO after fiddling with it myself, i find that it might also break if u drop it or if u raise/lower its arms carelessly (the shades are in the way).

ahh... because the version we have is very blurry - couldn't read the english words clearly. not like the hi-res pic posted by Morph

yea, so very SUPER-ROBOTish... hmmm macross bridging the gap here huh... interesting. please tell what's the connection between Birla and Indian/hindu names? http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8505/ra...otrutionzc6.jpg Ranka grabbing her now-very-famous "protrution". really weird. should we expect a true 3-way threesome between alto x ranka x sheryl? as for the Sheryl's earrings, Brera's hairpins, and Mr Birla's ring... all these accessories... there's some connection there. so does Ranka has something similar? something she's wearing with that dress at the concert? Girdle? (chastity) belt? or maybe a strap-on (explains the stiff object)... seriously...

Heavy Quantum Reaction Cannon Gubaba almost got it right but particle is 粒子. 量子 translates to Quantum for a while i was thinking mega particle cannon... /runs PS > @Morpheus wow ur pic is very clear. which version is it from?

its 12hrs already... no need spoilers right? yeah, u can call them simon john and peter... but i was trying to spell them as close to how Luca pronounced it. And those are what i found to be the same names in other languages. reaction weapons - my impression (think i read somewhere?) is that they are nukes minus the residual radiation? just the destructive force of it... OMG!! u got it!! its really him!! must've been thrown here due to a fold dislocation, and took a big hit on his face not yet known. that's why Jeffrey said they must ensure Dulfim is safe to find out more from them. doesn't look good IMO... but sheryl might have some consolation since she gets to stay in Frontier... and finds more excuses to be with Hime...

Episode 07 walk-thru hope to be helpful for guys who r trying to understand what's happening. no guarantees on accuracy tho [my comments in square brackets] Macross Galaxy begun its journey several years before the M-Frontier, and it is the 21st migration fleet. Initiated by a big enterprise, the fleet invests in advanced technology. Even during its voyage, technology is constantly being developed such as the cybernetics implant and other high technologies, which the M-Galaxy boasts of, but evenso, in the face of a vajra attack... MQ defolds, Cathy says priority is to rescue the ships, but data collection of the vajra are also/even more important. [i guess Leon put Cathy in MQ for this reason] MQ Captain Jeffrey asked her if it is NOT the NUNS' but the President's order to which Cathy somewhat stumbles [makes it fishy...]. Sheryl Live Concert... Ranka finally reached her seat but the other seat is empty [Alto...]. Sheryl starts singing 'Sagittarius @ 9pm, Don't be late' [not so pleased with the recycled animation... ] Back at the scene of battle, SMS' mission is to lead the military in the battle against the vajra as the frontlines [sheesh... PMCs as vanguard to the military, wonder how the NUNS pilots feel...], Luca has that prototype fold communications system [the stick on the port side of his valk] to counter the vajra's ECM on the ghosts [which i guess is also what links the latest updates back to the M-Frontier & MQ?], Ozma tells Alto to hold back to which Alto protests. Ozma: "All fighters, PLANET DANCE!!" Luca calls his drones - Shimon, Johanne, Petero [Luca a Christian?]. Klan Klan teases Michel asks him not to cry if he doesn't see her (?not sure if i got it right). Michel seems to be a cry-baby when he was younger [might be referring to an upcoming episode i guess... ep09? KK and Michel seem to go a long way back]. Michel anchors to an asteroid and snipes a red lobster, but the first shot only takes out its head, his second shot cuts off its top cannon, the third severs the right pincer and some limbs, and the forth hit the torso, sends it spinning and finally explodes. [so hard to kill it!] Alto was awed by Michel's kill and gets chided by Ozma for being distracted. Alto had a hard time trying to catch up with Ozma, even though Ozma's valk is much heavier with the armored pack. Ozma goes on a killing spree [why didn't the hammerheads deploy their tentacle chaffs like in ep1?] to open a path for Kanaria and her Konig Monster. The Monster codenamed 'Rabbit 1' [hmm reminds me of the Jagd Mirage a monster mech from FSS... 'my little rabbit' ] lands on the deck of one of the M-Galaxy ships, Dulfim [Deneb class Dulfim, referenced from star names?] and deals alot of damage with (reactive) weapons. Alto awed by the Monster gets chided again by Ozma to stay alert. Ozma:'Next we have to let the damaged Kaitos retreat'. Luca then reports that the fold communication with Frontier is verified to be working. [Luca's RVF-25 -> communications pod (similar to the one dropped by the vf-171 in last ep) -> Frontier] Kaitos damage at 45%. During her concert break, Sheryl acts as if she's not concerned with the rescue operation of the ships from M-Galaxy. Grace shows her the real time images - she somehow manages to hack into the system?! [Cathy forgot to change the passwords huh? -.-] Ranka gets a recorded message from Ozma saying that he's at 'work' and not coming home, and Ranka realizes why Alto is not there with her. Grace comments that the pilot (Alto) Sheryl cares about is 'working hard', to which Sheryl blushes and denies. Back at the battlefield, a vajra carrier defolds and Luca's drone Petero gets smashed to bits. Vajra carrier fires its main cannon and destroys Kaitos [weird - kaitos looks greenish here, but was orangy in last ep]. At the Frontier, they were surprised but Leon utters "Finally"... Richard Vilra [ending credits names him Richard Vilra] looks on with wide eyes... Ozma tells Luca to come back, but Luca seems to want to collect more data and have found something interesting in the Vajra carrier (Fold Reactor?), then gets caught by a lobster which dragged the rvf-25 back into the carrier. @Frontier Concert, Sheryl gets emotional, saying that she don't know when she'll see them again [probably referring to Alto... ], and gets teary. Ranka cheers her on. Sheryl says she wants to dedicate her last song to a person - no - a group of people who are risking their lives in battle. "Let's sing together" [oh noes, we get a Gundam Newtype feel to this scene here LMAO ... Sheryl and Ranka having some mutual understanding/bond here?]. Alto gets impulsive and rushes into the Vajra carrier, Ozma couldn't call him back, so he asked Michel to give supporting fire. Michel notices an unknown fighter speeding towards the vajra carrier [VF-27]. SMS Bridge - Captain Jeffrey asks about the odds of winning. Bridge bunny Ram had done simulations based on the data collected by Luca, and concludes that the MQ will win if it rushes in at top speed. Mina confirms MQ conditions are normal, although this is the "first time after modifications". Monica sets up the evasion navigations based on the attack patterns of the opponent. Cathy tries to stop them, but the Captain points out that Dulfim will be destroyed, and they have the means to fulfill the President's orders. Alto managed to find and escape with Luca. Seems like Alto and Brera both heard the song (via the earring?). Still puzzled if the VF-27 was assisting or an enemy. MQ transforms and fires its Quantum Reactive Cannon [wow, Bobby seems to be a changed person when the MQ is in Storm Attacker mode!? very masculine..]. The battle is over, Cathy complains about the recklessness of 准尉/Warrant Officer Alto and the SMS, but she couldn't finish her sentence... ... (using army rank names here, easier for me ) (More than one VF-27 folding along with Brera's. One of the VF-27 didn't have a gun?) http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1717/ep07vf2701ny5.jpg more pics coming up

that's the Denib class Kaitos - the one they were trying to rescue. but its just one of several ships from M-Galaxy. the one that the Monster landed on is named Dulfim, which is one of the ships that are saved by SMS (n NUNS? should we give NUNS credit? ).

Gurran Lagann's backpack will come with the Lazangann, but the wings... no news yet. yup they want u to buy other revoltechs Street fighter it says coming this summer. Gurren Lagann paintjob isn't very nice... but overall is really cool.

as requested...

Ranka getting a hard-on "protrusion"... becos she is a hermaphrodite which explains her lack of breasts. j/k been looking on SHARE for some time now, still no signs of bigger resolution, there's only one 704x396... guess its because of the recent arrest of the 3 uploaders. are u guys getting the episode summary from elsewhere?

@electric indigo: yup, revy alien been talked about since the WF exhibition some time ago. @UN Spacy: nice poses with your Gurren Lagann! looks like he stole something from getter BTW, a note to folks who are buying revy Gurren Lagann - be very careful with that translucent "eye piece", read that its easily breakable and quite a few people broke theirs.

just received my Revoltech Gurren Lagann, Regult x 3, Max 1J x2, Ultra Magnus... those who are not yet poisoned by revoltechs, turn back now... before its too late...

just want to point out that in the original Southern Cross anime, they are called Logan and Auroran. and the Auroran did appear in all its 3 modes.

yeah, i'm not saying protodevlin r involved with the vajra, just saying that my impression is that they're still around... somewhere. OMG, when i read that, the song echo-ed in my head... And thanks GGemini for that pic!! it's my wallpaper now

Protodeviln r still somewhere around in this universe, maybe even in this galaxy isn't it?

OK, i'm now experiencing similar problem with the topic starter. I started experiencing very slow loading times about 2-3 days ago, and today, i totally cannot load the MW forum and homepage. I can ping to MW with 0% loss but the browser will time out when i try to go MW. I'm don't have any problems with other websites. Using a temp proxy to post this now. is there anything wrong with the network/server that's running MW?

wow is mentioning of vf-27 considered spoiler? as much as i wanna support DestroidDefender's suggestion VF-27 Shiva VF-27 Raksha (Hindu shapechanger demon)
