Kylwell Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I was wandering through my borrowed copy of Macross Hobby Handbook 1: Macross Model world and noticed a little picture feature some booster/space equiped Ghosts. Now I just need to buy another one of Hon's Ghosts. [attachmentid=37116] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 OMG!! There are more mechas variety in Macross than Star Wars... By the way.... WHERE IS HONNEAMISSE???? WHERE IS OUR COLA MACHINE?? XD HONNEAMISSE= HONNEAMISSED?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchley Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Y'all might be interested in the FAST pack equipped RC-4E Rabbit that appears in one of the pages of one of the books on DYRL. It was mounting the VT-1 trainer packs. But that implies that it can mount any dorsal FAST packs mountable on the VF-1. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/rc-4e.htm (doesn't have the FAST packs. Providing link so people know which vehicle I'm referring to.) Regarding the Ghost... a civilian, piloted version of them did appear in the Macross 7 Trash manga. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/macross7trash/qf3000.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylwell Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'll try and get the three alternative heads for the Phalanx up also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Kylwell wasnt that the version of the ghost seen in M+? Or did that one have standard VF-1 style fastpacks installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylwell Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Well, given the age of this book.... they could have used it. Think this was printed before Mac+ came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardann Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I loved the old Space Ghost cartoon! His "talk show" was pretty good too. ........................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berttt Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) The two drones seen in M+ seem to be VF-11's converted to the task (earth Ghost fighter testing scene) or the remote control type launched from that badarsed bomber in ep. 1.

(YF-21 testing scene) There were VF-11s in that scene yes but there were also a couple QF-3000 ghosts being hit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I thought that both the Ghost and the Rabbit looked cool with fast packs! I'm tempted to build the Rabbit some day, but most of what I have is TV, not DYRL. - MT [attachmentid=37128] - Just so no one else thinks were high on glue...

sketchley Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ah! Thanks MechaTech. I forgot that the Rabbit has legs - and they can mount VF-1 type conformal fuel tank FAST packs on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 No sweat sketchlyey, OK, now I'm gonna have to build one because it's just too easy to pass up! I'll just take a Nichimo kit and I'm about 1/4 way there. Daedalus first though! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Didn't Egan Loo establish back on the old boards that the legs on the Rabbit were not official and that SK had said he did it as a joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylwell Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thought I'd add the full illustations. These are tagged 1983, for those in the need. [attachmentid=37137] [attachmentid=37138] [attachmentid=37139] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Seeing that ELINT Battroid gives me ideas for a wrecked elint and Super battroid i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiriyu Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 That looks like a VEFR-1 rather than the more refined Elint. I always thought that the gerwalk rabbit with fastpacks was more of a joke than anything else, but it would be cool to see someone model it nonetheless.

sketchley Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Shouji Kawamori might have done them as a joke, but the legs on the Rabbit certainly make much more sense than 'hunky and huge landing skids.' If they aren't legs, and they aren't 'height adjustable' (ie: able to land on uneven surfaces,) then the usefulness of the Rabbit, as a SAR vehicle drops considerably. Aside from transport and SAR, what other roles does the Rabbit fulfill? Perhaps some C&C duties - but there doesn't appear to be a lot of internal space. The VEFR-1 "Funny Chinese" appeared (briefly, at best, I believe,) in the later episodes of the SDF:M TV series. One of them is visible amongst the plethora of VFs in the pan-up the SDF-1 when it is leading the charge against the Bodolza flagship.

Yeah, looks like a VF-1D with a radome and the arm antennae from an Elint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I got the picture from the "This is Animation" DYRL Movie book. Most of Kylwell's stuff is in there too, although on a yellow backround. I think it is a joke, but it would look cool built up! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The two drones seen in M+ seem to be VF-11's converted to the task (earth Ghost fighter testing scene) or the remote control type launched from that badarsed bomber in ep. 1. (YF-21 testing scene) I double checked today and were both off. The first ones shown from the front are a weird ghost/VF-11/something VF-1 hybrid. The next are just VF-11 drones. still it is weird.

honneamise Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I double checked today and were both off. The first ones shown from the front are a weird ghost/VF-11/something VF-1 hybrid. The next are just VF-11 drones. still it is weird. I thought those were VF-11´s with a QF-3000 head added and painted orange.... I have still got to see original QF-300´s in M+... BTW, I´m still here, I´ve just got an awful lot to do at the moment.. work for architects and a new master in the making! But it is not Macross (I strayed away, it is a BSG commission this time) and I have to finish it before I can go on with the vehicles (the 6-wheeler is about 75% done, need to get some pics soon). I wish I had like 4 hands or a machine that extends 1 working hour to a week -without getting a week older of course..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
