The6ftTallAZN Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Um... I didn't know where this should go (as usual) so here I go... does anybody have a pic of the VF-1S that Max flies in DYRL? I'm in the middle of drawing a pic of all of Max's Valkyries and can't remember the colors of the 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Seems hard to find "official" VF-1S Max pictures, I quickly looked on google and the only decent thing I could find was this, but that's just somebody's custom. My guess is just use Max's VF-1A scheme from DYRL and put a 1S head on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 <---- How about my avator? I have a larger picture of it if you are interested. Whether it is a truly accruate portrail of the colour scheme, I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Max's heatshield should be blue though. No it shouldn't... Watch DYRL. When one gets a 1S their heatshield is black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 (edited) Here is one small piece of evidence that discounts that. Even in DYRL, where the animation and art was so much better than the TV series. In this scene I present you with Max's VF-1S with NO COLOR AT ALL. It also bears mentioning that in one screenshot that Roy had a YELLOW heatshield. My best guess is that the color does not really matter. Most here would like to think that it was a blue heatshield. A few think it was black (and yes, a couple of screenshots substantiate this).... but you could get away with either. Personally I think that Blue would've held better... especially since Hikaru's VF-1S had a red heatshield (as seen in good-solid scenes that were clear) Edit: Ok, the damn picture won't work.... at any rate, there's a scene while he's fighting milia inside the ship where his valkyrie is black and white only.

Personally, I think the colored heatshields look very ugly. So given the disturbing lack of continuity present, I choose black heatshields as "correct".

Graham Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry, officially Max's VF-1S heatshield is blue, just as Hikaru's VF-1S heatshield is officially red. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Roy's heat shield was only gold as the light reflected off it just right, Max assumedly uses a similar dark reflective color in his blue heat shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent ONE Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Perhaps Max just had it repainted at one point? Nah, animation mistakes all over the place... If BW changed their minds and made the heatshield color for Max and Hikaru, but not for Roy, they are dumber than I thought. 1S heatshield should be black.

The instructions clearly shows a black shield for Roy and a red one for Hikaru and Hase kits are officially sanctioned AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I like the blue-on-blue color sceme for Max's VF-1S. Only Roy's looks good with the blac heatshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as we all know that BW approves all designs before they are made, I guess Graham is mistaken about what is "official." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 ... but the one actually coming out from Yamato will have a RED heatshield! That pic of the Hikaru 1S with the black heatshield is only like that because they photoshopped a pre-exsisting Roy 1S into red and could not change the black shield. RED RULES! BLACK DROOLS!

bandit29 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 One could argue either for the black or red heat shield since the Hikaru VF-1S appears with both in DYRL. Even the skulls on the FP boosters change colors. IIRC, the VF-1S Max is clearly black in every scene. I don't think an "official" pic of the Max VF-1S with a blue heat shield exists.

Skull Leader Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 How's about we just let it drop here? We're going in circles. Use the heatshield of your choice. Some think the 1S should have a black heatshield regardless of who's piloting it... others think it should be a representative color... . <---------------------------- see that? That's about TEN MILLION pounds of compressed "I don't give a damn"..... use the version of your choice ad-nauseum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, even Bandai later made a correct red clip on heatshield for the 1/55 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie. See here. Banpresto made an SD VF-1S Hikaru with red heatshield and removable Strike Armor a couple of years ago. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
