Aegis! Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I was curious as to what people think should be the next main valkyrie in a possible Macross production. Remember, this is EXCLUSIVELY about VFs i.e. NOT STORYLINES ! We´ve had enough ¨I want this to be the next plot for macross threads¨ already. Personally, I think Big West´s idea of using the VF-5000 for Macross 3D ( the never produced macross 3D series) was great, it´s the nearest thing to modern day (story-wise) VF-1, excluding the VF-11. It´s been animated before in Dynamite as well, so the people at BW and Studio Nue seem to like it too. It also had its own game of sorts in the VF-X2 special edition for PSone. I think the VF-5000 would have the best chance if they were to use an existing valk. As a second choice I would go with the VF-4, nuff said. I would settle for a new valk of course but my love for the VF-5000 comes first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 From what I gather, you're a bit of a VF-5000 fan right? That explains the sig then. I've always been a fan of the VF-11B so I'd like that to 'star' in a new Macross release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 VF-11 pre-Macross Plus or VF-22 post Mac 7. Both are fighters that we have not really been seen at their best (consideing Mac 7 used the VF-11 as a CF fighter=sacrilege!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Is a brand new valk an option? I love all the ones we have but I'm certainly not against something new. I have some preferences for how I'd like it to behave (a GERWALK mode that is more functional *looking* than the YF-19, YF-21 or VF-17) but otherwise I think SK should let the creative juices run again!

Sumdumgai Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 VF-5000 is a good choice, I like it. VF-4 is awesome (I know some would argue that). VF-14 could be cool. They looked good in M7 Plus. VF-22 (not as the main CF valkyrie, but the most prominent). And as Jenius said, a brand new valk could really kick ass!

Lonewolf Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 1st choice would be the VF-11B 2nd choice would be a new valk 3rd choice would be the VF-3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wldr Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 1st choice would be a new valk 2nd choice VF-5000 3rd choice VF-22 I would add one more choice to your list. 4th choice VF-11 doing something more than being strict cannon fodder in Mac 7 or the limited use in Mac plus.

sketchley Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 New VF. New VF, not because the old ones don't work, but because that's the way these things generally turn out. If we look at all the Macross anime released to date, every one has a new VF - some of the games even introduced new VFs as well! What will it most likely be? Somewhere in the middle of what we've seen. The VF-1/0 are a bit 'limited' (but have great selling potential in all markets,) and the VF-19/22 are a bit too uber, and may make the series a little less than interesting (who cares if the hero can take out all the enemies, with no fear of damage or injury?)

Aegis! Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sounds kinda like the SW-XAII Schneeblume (spelling?): From what I gather, you're a bit of a VF-5000 fan right? That explains the sig then. I've always been a fan of the VF-11B so I'd like that to 'star' in a new Macross release. hahha, how did you notice man ? I´m as much a valkaholic as any of us here so getting a entirely new valk would be ideal, new valks are always welcome, I just think that if they ever were to use an existing one, the VF-5000 would have very good chances of being such a valk, which in my opinion is just the perfect scenario. No one has considered that we could get the best of both choices: having an existing valk as main VF and a new valk as the newcomer kinda like the VF-11 and the YF valks from M+. Isamu was piloting the VF-11 as the introductory variable fighter in the story but then the YFs are introduced as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Sounds kinda like the SW-XAII Schneeblume (spelling?): The SW-XAII is the "Schneegans" (a FSW VF like the YF-19) The "Schneeblume" is the SW-XAI (it's an updated VF-1 from the advanced valkyrie project) Edited February 20, 2007 by Ignacio Ocamica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schneeblume is a definite choice for a "New VF" it is one of my favorite modern SK designs. Thanks for the reminder Ignacio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowe Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I want more new transforming non-valk design - along the line of the VB-6. I like to see SK does a tranfomable bomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDClip Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'd really like to see a new valk with some cool updated technology. But, if we're talking about existing VF's, I'd really like to see more of the VF-4. Afterall, it only got animated in Flashback for about 15 seconds.

Aegis! Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 The SW-XAII is the "Schneegans" (a FSW VF like the YF-19) The "Schneeblume" is the SW-XAI (it's an updated VF-1 from the advanced valkyrie project) whoops, I stand corrected. anyway, both designs look awesome, though, I would be surprised if Kawamori intended to use one of these in a next series. Even if it means no having the VF-5000 I truly believe it´s more lilely we´ll get a new valk, as it´s been like that with every new production.From existing valks, the VF-5000 still has the best chances though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) You're welcome I wished they used this VF as testbed for the VF-1 in Mac 0. Actually I wished they used the Schneeblume as the "actual" VF-1 at the end of Mac Zero. The design aesthetic is a better match between the Zero and post DYRL series'.

eugimon Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'd want to see the VF-5000 get some screen time and maybe some more time with the VF-22 as well... and a new valk? sure.. that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante74 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Whatever Valk stars in a future Macross feature, I'd like it NOT to be a special/upgraded/prototype Valk. What I loved about SDF-M and DYRL? is the fact that the heroes flew basicly the same Valks as the CF's, the only difference being the special colors.

danth Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Now that I've made my joke, a serious response: Why not ALL of them? Maybe a show about kids flying valks in mecha combat tournaments? Sort of Naruto meets Mac+. For guaranteed success make one character a 12 year old maid. Let kids watch the stupid show, and we'll buy up all the Valkyrie toys. Of course each Valk would get a new paint scheme every few episodes so the toymaker can make enough money on repaints. I have no hope for a new, truly good anime series. This might be a minority opinion, but I haven't seen great animation since the eighties, or good animation since the nineties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is tired of the franchise and justifiably so. He has his own projects he want to do and so he should. However I think the franchise is far from over and it would be a profound dis-service to the fans if it ends with SK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
