With only 20-items allowed for the poll, I tried to give each series a standard of three-valks.

Fwiw, M7-series already has four choices instead of the standard three.

You could've saved 3 slots by keeping the standard and FAST pack sets to one slot instead of two for the VF-1s.

[akabob]

I absolutely love the VF-1S with fast pack or strike pack but I voted for the vf-2ss. Go Macross II!

[Ignacio Ocamica]

My top five list:

1. SW-XAI

2. VF-3000

3. YF-21

4. VF-1S with strike pack or fast pack.

5. YF-19

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

AND this isn't the first time someone has neglected to add the VF-4.

What's wrong with you guys?

1. VF-1S

2. YF-19

3. VF-4

hmmm.

My memory's most likely hazy now, but in which anime-series did you guys see a transforming VF-4?

The only time I had seen the VF-4 in anime was in FB-2012, i.e. Hikaru in fighter-mode.

[Lightning]

you didnt really specify if it had to be shown transforming in the anime, merely that it was shown in the anime and could transform.

Top Transformation

VF-11

YF-19

VF-2J

SV-51

YF-21

[LinxCrossq]

Go Fire Valkyrie!

[Legend of TSXer]

Love them all but Metal Siren got my vote. So far the only one to vote for it! Go underdog!

That's actually a vague sentence.

It could mean all transformation-capable VFs featured in animation, or all VFs with an animated transformation.

[KingNor]

vf-1a, its a lonely world i live in.

[Renato]

At this precise moment I like the SV-51 the best. But if this poll was about all-time faves then I would take the Strike VF-1S. That thing is a work of art.

[myk]

YF-21.....The idea of not having to lift a finger to maneuver that beautiful ship is unbeatable...

[Kanzaki]

I got to say I love the VF-1 series, but in particular, it gotta be VF-1J

[kensei]

Should have dumped the MacII valks.

[zeo-mare]

The Vf-2SS is my favorite, it is a shame that people did not like the series to much, i thought it had some fantastic designs. I so wish they would make a new model or toy of it

[Anubis]

1) YF-19/VF-19A (didn't like the shortened wings on the F/S as much as the original wings)

2)VF-1S

3)VF-17 (almost a tie with #2)

4)SV-51

[baronv]

1. VF-1S (Skull leader of course)

2. VF-2SS

3. YF-21

I also agree that the MII VF-2SSis super sweet, a sleeker version of the VF-1, I do wish they do make a toy out of it since the model is kinda flimsy. Even though a lot of people discount MII, it IS still Macross whether you like it or not.

[Greyryder]

The VF-1J, prefferebly with strike packs.

The VF-2SS, and the Metal Siren are both close seconds. The VF-0 is okay, but it's just a revamp of the VF-1 design. I haven't much liked any of the other variable fighter designs.

[JB0]

*blinks*

The 1J is beating every VF-1 but the strike-pack 1S? Is it true? Has the world finally realized the 1A is ugly? JOY!

Edited August 18, 2005 by JB0

[UN_MARINE]

1S Strike

It's probably the most heavily armed VF out there

except... now it's also the shortest

[promethuem5]

Had to go YF-19, VF-1, YF-21, VF-11, VF-2ss

[VF-18S Hornet]

VF-0S

VF-1S

VF-11

YF-19

YF-21

And as for the VF-4 being left out, well there is a reason it was left out, because there was no scene of transforming seen at all.

[Awacs]

I've always had a fondness for a design with a lot of edges and stuff so my number one design is no surprise:-

1) VF-19A Excaliber

2) VF-1S Valkyrie

3) VF-4 Lighning

and last but not least:-

4) VF-11 Thunderbolt

[fansubs2000]

The best Valks are the YF-19 & the VF-1S STRIKE baby!!!!!!!!

The new Vf-0S is pretty cool too!

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

Voted VF22S.

I like the design of the body, the weapons, (both battroid and fighter modes) the shape of the armor on its limbs (round like the old regults and qrau, kinda looks sporty and high tech but strong and bulky too) and the hood that protects the head in battroid mode. (looks like an H.R Giger alien) I also like the bending and folding of the wings and the long legs as well as the tucking away of parts to gain an advantage in stealth. Its feet look well curved and have a feminine quality to them but still look still cool for males to use. The battroid combines the best stuff of human and zentradi imo. It looks agile and fast like any VF but it retains the shapes and style of fighting of the alien mecha (lots of rounded edge like the zentradi "green poo" warships) with its inbuilt arm guns for attitude and as a good close combat weapon. (I can see myself killing people by strafing and dodging fire with expert precision just so I can finish them off with a PPB punch and point blank range shot.)

I also like the cockpit canopy. It just looks different.

I think head turrets are useless now that pilots have wrap around monitors to see 360 degrees. Mecha with no necks, protected by armor around this area are the future imo. Like the Zeon from Gundam, the zentradi are more advanced for mass production robots. (its just that un spacy are too cheap to make them for everyone. For elites only )

Super VF-1S

[Roy's Blues]

YF-21 FP all the way!

Followed by the SV-71, YF-19 FP respectively.

Fan boy dream....A cell shaded PS3 with all Valks set up Armored Core style.

Drools...

[Sumdumgai]

YF-21FP

It's dark blue, it's got stealth, maneuverability, internal weapons bay for micro-missiles, BDI and BCS, manual back-up in case the BDI and BCS fails, lasers that can be used effectively in any mode (unlike the 19 series where the lasers are mounted on the hips in battroid), and it is capable of flight when the arms AND LEGS missing.

It has almost everything the 19 series has, except the rearward facing anti-aircraft laser. Downside is that you need fast-packs to hold a gunpod. Bonus, you get two gunpods when you have fast-packs! Second downside is letting your mind wander... Like:

"Oh wouldn't it be funny if I launched a nuke towards that annoying idol singers concert?" [FWOOOM, nuke gets launched because the valkyrie picked up on the stray thought]

Plus it looks like a Q-rau in battroid mode. And it's nice and sleek in fighter. I admit it's kind of fugly in gerwalk though...

following the 21 are:

VF-19A

VF-11B

VF-0A

VF-4

VF-1A DYRL style (I hate the TV series style A-heads)
