If Isamu Dyson wasn't flying it probably a couple of dead and maimed test pilots. Same thing happened with the YF-19. It may have been too high spec that they had to downgrade it when LAI designed the VF-25. For Galaxy the tech was good enough for them to play with creating the VF-27.

Well it seems NUNS flags today is the flag of their respective fleets. Notice the VF-27 has a different symbol. This is not unpresidented. UN Spacy Galaxy Patrol of Zola have their own flag on their Valkyrie. Yes that is the SMS symbol.

Watching again episode 26 of Macross and Macross 7 Encore :The Fleet of Strongest Women makes me realize Exsedol is bloody brilliant. When Global and company were feeling this is the end with Bodolzaa's fleet coming Exsedol suddenly tells them this is not their last. He reminds them that the Macross alone stood up to the Zentradi fleet. A five million to a thousand odds of survival but they shouldn't lose hope. In The Fleet of Strongest Women Exsedol seeming took orders from UN Spacy HQ to blow up Chlore's fleet with the Macross cannon. When the Macross cannon fire it hit nothing. Giving Basara the chance to culture shock the Meltrans. He gave Miho the coordinates. Excusedly saying to the Earth UN Spacy big shot he made a mistake and he is not fit for fleet command duty. Makes me think Exsedol would have made an excellent statesman if he weren't the type to support his commander.

And VFX-2 would be called a coup attempt. Space War 1 had the right to be called a space war as it involved almost 5 million ships about to pound Earth and a fleet of 1200 and 1 ( the Macross) ships. ARMD's and Oberths not included.

Actually we don't know. Considering they were clones expected to bit the dust in combat not live a healthy peaceful life.

Actually Soji Kawamori did make a raptor Valkyrie in Super Dimension Fortress Macross: VF Experiment but is centainly not the YF-24. SW-XA1 Schneeblume

Probably a bunch of plants under force mode. Same goes for Captain Wilen.

Well Glass is only the President of the Frontier New UN Goverment not the President of the entire NUN. Leon had the title of fifth president of Frontier meaning Glass was the fourth. Which fits as they are traveling for 12 years in space. Vrlitwhai I think had a greater responsibility in protecting the interstellar growing New UN. There are still 2000+ Zentradi main fleets and Supervision Army out there. It is feasible that the unity government set up of the NUN was reverted back to a league of nations set up as more and more planets and fleets are represented in it. Earth being the headquarters of NUNS. They still have the Adoclass fleet around don't they?

Dunno looks fancy. Alto isn't much of domestic husband like Max. Oh another! Non-Alcoholic drink = drunk and child spoiled Sheryl

Yes it doesn't even have the cool pulse beam gun pod attachment. Fortunately Macross 7 isn't as cheap as Macross Frontier as they have the VF-17 as their mainline fighter and the VF-22S as their special forces fighter in 2047.

Then upgrade the hardware and software like they did with VF-1X Plus and the VF-4G Lightning III. Seems to me LAI's specialization is pimping somebody else's licensed fighter design. Did General Galaxy get money for the VF-171EX? If previous design lineage is anything I think the YF-24 is a Shinsei Industries pitch. They built the VF-0, VF-1, VF-3000 (Prior to merger), VF-5000, VF-11, VF-19.

If they only included it in Ace Frontier. A story backgrounded game like M3, VFX and VFX-2 would do.

Miho Miho got shipped out to the Vahalla III though.

Cola - start of a beautiful relationship with your superior officer plus she'll buy the drinks.

Ranka's Oji-san? *Imagines him doting little Ranka and little Brera* Well Global has been confirmed to die of old age I can't just see that with Vrlitwhai. Max and Millia are still around so I doubt that.

Possible or they were expecting a Cannon Fodder downgraded version of the YF-24. Why else would Galaxy chose its basic battroid design for the VF-27? Remember the VF-171 is a downgraded version of the VF-17. Like the YF-19 and YF-21, too fast, too furious, too awesome and too expensive that only ace pilots can use it. Can you imagine Alto wrecking a VF-19A on a regular basis?

According to compendium chronology he became UN Spacy Commander in 2016. In the 30th aniversary of the end of Space War 1 we don't see him just some human and miclone Zentradi UN officers and a politician talking about humans and Zentradi being together. We know Sharon Apple happened. Makes me wonder if Vrlitwhai was involved with the Vajra first contact as it happened in the same year.

Where in the entire sphere of the NUN is Vrlitwhai Kradanik? One of the founding fathers of the New UN. (The other being Global) I think we sufficient evidence that by 2040 Vrlitwhai is no longer in charge of UN Spacy. General Gomez while being a hippie about the unification of humans and Zentradi is a proponent scrapping pilots for Ghosts. I don't think Vrlitwhai will agree with this. In 2046 Macross 7 UN Forces Command wanted the rogue uncultured Meltran fleet destroyed. I don't think Vrlitwhai would approve of this. Especially if Macross 7 was outnumbered 500 to 1. Also in 2046 UN Command practically abandoned Macross 7 to be fed to the Protodevlin like those old geezers in High Command that wanted to kick out the SDF-1 Macross off Earth. Considering that Vrlitwhai had friends in that fleet he would not want that to happen. In 2051 during Wilbur Garland's coup no sign of him. So what did happen to our beloved giant "bad ass" supreme commander? I think Vrlitwhai started to lose influence due to backstabing politicking in UN Spacy and politicians. Note in 2030 the Second Defensive battle of Macross City's aftermath giant Zentradi were prohibited from Earth's surface. Likely Vrlithwai took office somewhere esle outside the Macross. His command may have lasted till 2039 as General Gomez is quite a big shot. Now speaking against Gomez on the Ghost project may be a bad move politically as Gomez was vitriolitic advocate of unification. Now bastards like Leon and Galaxy Anonymous treating their citizens like pawns NUNS has fallen from their former glory. Where O Where is Vrlitwhai?

Hopefully if Galaxy does come have them show some variety in their Valkyrie fleet. Captain Wilen's bird (Where the heck is he anyway?) YF-24 as a the mass production VF-24

Director behind the original Gundam trilogy and Gundam V. Primarily the UC continuity. His depression became infamous due the gratious killing spree on Gundam V. Not to mention real sick like a severed head falling off a helmet. Shoji Kawamori may be a troll but he is not emo. Pretty hippie in his animation work really.

The question is did the Birdman really contribute to overall human evolution or just the Mayan people. 10,000 years ago isn't really that long ago as it is the Neolithic era. The story goes that Rooy Waka was given by the Birdman to Rooy Kanu and they had children. Then she left Rooy Kanu as she has to return to the stars. Kinda like Kaguya-hime who came to Earth lived as human but has to go back to the moon. Or the story of Tanabata or Ori-hime even the story of a tennyo who marries a mortal man. Also note the dooms day story it is said that the god Procacha ordered the Birdman to destroy humanity but it refused cutting it's head off. Now Procacha could be a bastardization of the Protoculture name. According to the chronology all records of Earth was lost perhaps even Zola included. Now notice Zola's cultural development. The majority of Zolan's loosing their written and oral traditions suggests a catastrophy in their history that lead to a dark age. That is why they were so enthusiastic in adopting human names and culture. The likely scenario is that some Protoculture faction did not like the evolving species that mimic the Protoculture. Foreseeing them as a danger like the Zentradi and Supervision Army an order was given to wipe out the miclone races. But this was stopped. Thus the compromise. If these races were to become an interstellar threat they would be destroyed. A Protoculture who became the legendary Rooy Waka was the one responsible to stop the slaughter. Rooy Waka left behind the Fold Quartz earrings to the natives of Earth. Similarly perhaps three eyed Zolan snakes (Which kinda remind me of Ai-kun) were left for the Zolans by the Protoculture. Such a violent response to rising miclone races suggest a different faction of Protoculture. The only one faction we did get answers was the Anima Spiritia that sealed the Protodevlin. That was 500,000 years ago.

You know Vrlitwhai and Exsedol being shocked at the Shao Pai Long charcter of Kaifun throwing a energy blast. Making Exsedol think that is how the omni-directional barrier worked just amuses me. Irony is that 34-35 years later a real pacifist with star power came emmiting an energy beam and barrier that can withstand a SD energy canon. Kaifun is a phony while Basara is the real thing.

Likely they replaced their communication network with a fold quartz based one after the old one was destroyed. But dare not do what Grace and Galaxy Anonymous is out to do. Create a network consciousness.

Sigh... I'm going to say it once and for all... Macross is not Gundam!

Humans are not directly a Protoculture creation like the Zentradi as Dr. Hasford (old man with AUN) pointed out the Protoculture accelerated our evolution through viruses. Zola seems to support that theory. Zolans evolved from marsupials to humanoids. Humans on the other hand evolved from primates. Also notice the decrepancy of the intial Protoculture colonists who seeded life on Earth around 500,000 years ago , 3 years before the Protodevlin war, and the arrival of the Birdman 10,000 years ago. It is a pretty big gap. I doubt the Mayan people can keep an oral tradition that long. Heck were not even Homo-Sapiens then too. Protoculture History The Birdman's bio technology suggests post Protodevlin War development. Also note that the Protoculture network of communication was broken around 500,000 years ago. What if they replaced it with something more sophisticated? Grace and company mentioned that they would do what the Protoculture couldn't or wouldn't do. The Spiral symbols on the Birdman, red Vajra and Vajra homeworld suggests it is the same faction of Protoculture involved. Also Mao's family heirloom as Fold Quatz earring suggests this. Grace proposed her fold network implant theory to Ranshe at the cost of the Vajra.
