Official Regult illustration?

[chrono]

Hya!

I'm doing some research on the Battle Pod/Regult for a 3D project and happened to find this nicely detailed image. However I've not found this image in any of my Macross artbooks. So what I need to know whether this is an 'official' image, RPG image, or just an Artbook image.

It looks like a real cutaway -- it's not any of the tracings and "borrowings" from the Palladium RPG book. I'd wager that the identifiyers were added later, though for a website. As to its exact provenance, I don;t know. It might be from one of the R-word books, but given that there's no mention of Protoculture...

I believe that this is a Japanese drawing from the creators of Macross. As I have yet to see it in any of the lineart books that I've purchased here, I suspect that it was published in either a magazine, hobby book, or a model kit.

I think its part of one of the This Is Animation Poster Books.

Wow! that looks...uncomfortable to drive

Interesting. So it's possibly from an artbook. Does it have others like several Valkyrie drawings(like this)?

[protodeviln]

I have the DYRL This is Animation and one from the Macross series, This is animation ( not sure how many were produced) but I have not seen either of these cut away's in my 2 books.

Great Pic though

Hehehe, I got your reply chrono. What'd I tell ya? Like clock work

Glad I could help. I'm looking forward to your next model.

I think it was in one of the two SDF Macross Art Portfolios

I'll check when I can get my hands on it.

I just checked the Macross Mecha portfoliio and this illustration isn't in it. I also didn't see it in any of the Macross books that I have in my collection.

It's in the volume two (red cover) of this two book TIA books.

Anyone else get an AT-ST vibe from that drawing? Never thought of it before, but that particular drawing make me think of it.

Ahhhhh.......... I've got volumes 3 and 11

Thanks Graham. That makes it just about as canon as it gets.

David Hingtgen, yes you do. Doesn't help that the AT-ST(RoTJ) was shown in the same year that SDF:Macross was (1983). If you throw in ED-209 then you get a really nice cross-section of 'chicken walker' mecha.

If only yamato did a high detail toy of that with inner details and stuff.
