Explains why Roy was so good in the VF-1!

If you can handle the Moose, it's easy to control the Squirrel...

Rocky and Bullwinkle pun?

Roy was pretty good in a VF-0... But, he ended up dying in the VF-1. What does that say about his piloting skills/the plane? Hmm?

I always thought valks were simple, although floppy during transformation. My motto: If it feels solid during transformation, it's broken, and should be scrapped. Well, keep it up, man. This, in and of itself, shows how messed up the SV-51 is.

Impossible transformation? You suck, Transformers fan! This is Macross, home of the most realism one can get in a mecha anime!

When I was a kid, my teachers would give me hell because my rich vocabulary meant that on the "definition" part of the spelling tests I would always know the meaning of even the most difficult words, while on the "spelling" part I would routinely flunk.

My answer was always: "I'm gonna have a secretary!"

I just never knew her name would be OpenOffice or Word... and that she too has no clue what a Zendrati, Zendradi, Zendoradi or whatever the correct spelling is

Pete

Her name is OpenOffice? Her parents must hate her, huh? Zentradi translation device: Vajra says: "And when the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick! We're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick. Barracuda!"

Seeing how few of VA's are out there that volunteer to do these things, sometimes you gotta double or triple cast them in roles that aren't close to eachother. I figured using the PA Scramble and Claudia as the same voice worked, but Fly could do all 3 and sound different enough.

Well, g'luck, Hikuro.

Oh i was going to model the nimitz class since i found a reference. But it won't be too detailed since my focus is on the VF-1A.

About the checker patterns, i just finished unwrapping the uv's so they don't have a texture on them. The checker pattern is just like a place holder for the time being same with the engine end bit and the head of the VF-1A

Yeah, a No-Draw. It holds the place of the texture, but appears black or grey in a read-only application, such as a game.

An Ace Combat style Macross game would be cool.

Yeah.

Back on-topic, a X-02 or ADFX-2 would make a pwnsome valk.

Yeah. Well, still, I couldn't beat mission 9 on Ace, even with ADMM. It still sits there, waiting for my next attempt. I came close with the EML, but...

Cheap... That's why I like the EML. It can't be swept, like the ZOMGLAZER!. It is a hit, or don't weapon. If your aim is true, you score a kill. If not, try again. Also, it's a bitch to aim, since the CFA-44's too maneuverable. (If I could use the ADMM, I'd be a God in multiplayer. I outdid a Mobius F-22. A MOBIUS F-22! That's the most maneuverable in the game!)

People say I've got too much time on my hands... Good job, man.

Grr...

Nyan Nyan Service Medley?! That sounds awesome. Good luck widdat!

Never liked 7 much, but good luck.

While I like Robotech, (YES, I SAID IT. DISOWN ME FROM YOUR SOCIETY, OR WHATEVER) he said battroid, not battloid. Naw, seriously, though, there were 3 Robotech battloids. Macross has... More than 11.

Hot damn! That's good.

As for the carrier, it was a Prometheus-class, a fictional type of carrier. Nimitz looks lame, in comparison. Looks like your arms are no-drawed. It might be a play of light, but there's a checker pattern on them.

A holiday I enjoy called TBA.

Until I see more stuff turned in from Cristina and Fly, I'm not even gonna touch a release date anymore. I've gone from Summer of 07, to Summer of 08, to October, Winter of 08, now I dunno.

This movie WILL be done, it's just a case of when my VA's get their stuff in.

If they were getting paid, different matter, this would of been done a long time ago.

Maybe. Maybe. Even if I was getting paid for my webmastering job, I still might not get it done. Sure, I'm a lazy bastard, but...

TBA is my least favorite holiday. Too much traditional breath-holding and anorexia...

Keep working at it and don't be deterred. You'll never know if it could be something until you seen it out to the conclusion of what your creative effort can produce.

That CFA-44 is a great design. Very cool.

You know I will... Maybe you don't know... Now you do!

I was playing AC6 this morning. Great game. The legs are too wide to be legs, the area between them, too small. It works for an Itano Pod, but not for a set of arms, even the size of the YF-21's. The engines could be slimmed down, and it'd take care of 2 problems!

XD I wouldn't place her as sheryl, k, maybe I woouuuld...I HOPE She doesnt have a V type infection OH NOES ! god to me that sounds like an STD hah.

Well, while you are all waiting, I've been watching what is completed with smile on my face then i remember I remember I still got freaking line timing corrections to make, BAH!

V, as in Venereal? Where'd I get... ALTO!

I made a YouTube video, attempted to closed caption it, and was way off in places... Line timing is hard.

So, an estimate as to how long it could be before the release?

You know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, St. Valentine's Day... Next Christmas?

"...I see a lady, I see, you know, I see her boobs, I see her penis; Now, I'm confused..."

My nickname for the CFA-44 is the CFA-44 "Itano Circus"... The engines remind me of the YF-21's. Intake shape and Nozzle shape, anyway.

The '36 is a bit flat... Maybe a YF-21 design would work. Here's an idea: Make it a Variable Ghost. Then, the cockpit is no longer necessary, rather some sensors and computer equipment, which wouldn't require as big a space.

We're cheering you on Cristina that you get well & feel better!!! This way Hikuro can finish his film, we all want to see it!!!

Yeah! Come on, Cristina! You're Sheryl Nome!

It's still a WIP... Also, It's a quick drawing in paint. If I drew it by hand, it would look better, and make more sense. It is built around the Fighter. The Battroid would probably look funny if it was any more...

Look in the Fan Works section, under VF-1 Updated. The VF-25's like a long-nose, anorexic version of that. (VF-1=Me, the short, slightly stubby kid. VF-25=Ashley Olsen!)

VF-11 is a good VF. Mass produced a lot for that reason. Still in service after the VF-19 and 17. The UN Spacy people aren't stupid, I guess...

Even better, VF from this:

Methuselah fits the whole Biblical naming motif... It's a bit short, but the VF-1 was shorter...

The VF-11 was the intermediate step between the original and modern valks. It had elements that would be in later ones, but many original features.

Make the nose shorter, then...

So, what do you all think of the YF-29 Methuselah?

So is all you're saying they have a different transformation from the VF-1? O_o

Is the SV-51 transformation really that radical? Sure it has the crazy jointed wings but the torso transformation isn't that crazy. We still have the same fuselage folding in half thing (more like bending a bit) just with the new fuselage separating from the cockpit thing. The arrangement is different for sure but it's not like there are parts that have to rotate (vertically) like crazy to make it work.

In any case, I see it like this:

VF-1, VF-11: Fuselage folds, cockpit rotates forward

VF-19, VF-25: Fuselage flips on top, cockpit rotates backwards

SV-51: Fuselage flips on top, cockpit rotates slightly forward

Interestingly enough, the VF-22 and VF-17 are closer to the VF-1 in that they also rotate the cockpit forward and fold the fuselage onto the back.

Essentially, yes. That is all I'm saying. The VF-0, VF-1, VF-11, VF-22, VF-17, VF-3000, VF-5000, and VF-2SS (Well, technically, it is a valk) have the same nose transformation, basically. The SV-51, YF/VF-19, YF-24, VF-25, and VF-27 have a... Different transformation than the rest. Given, it does look cooler...

What do you all think of the YF-29, so far?

My point is that the YF/VF-19 didn't fold the nose down, attach the legs to it, fold the fuselage in half, pop out the arms, and call it a mecha. It had all kinds of crazy stuff, like the SV-51.

Moving on, I was bored and I went into paint, drew a simple valk with elements of the VF-0, SV-51, YF-19, and VF-25 in it.

Attached is a side and top profile of the YF-29 Methuselah, as well as a drawing of how the nose section becomes the torso.

Elements of its design were transferred into later valks: My reasoning is that the VF-19 didn't transform straightforward like a VF-1, rather it folds up like that, but in a different way.
