Killer Robot Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) I think it's mostly the red. Battle Frontier looked really menacing too, in a way that Battle 7 never did. Then again, Battle 7 just looked like it wanted to dance. Edited October 26, 2008 by Killer Robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWolf Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Very nice! It's funny how "evil" the Battle Galaxy looks Well this is the same bunch that names their exclusive Valkyries Lucifer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalvasflam Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Battle Galaxy is not evil... it's just misunderstood. You would be too if you carried a bunch of V-9s and a big Macross cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I agree with Killer Robot. I thought for sure that Battle Frontier would wind up an "enemy" before the end of the series because of how menacing it looked. The all dark colour scheme, with the blood red bridge dome. But beyond the colours, it looks a lot like Battle 7. Presentation goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3v Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Most of the differences between Battle Frontier and Battle Galaxy seem to be in the upper body, with Battle Galaxy having a different head, forward flight deck(arms), shoulders and those fins at the back. In any case, both look way more menacing than Battle 7 - what with it's blue on white colour scheme (Max's colours?) and big red M on it's torso (makes it look like an old school super robot). Off course, the fact that individually, both have more guns than Battle 7 does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That macdonalds sign on its front looks weird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it weird as it has Virgin Road colors. (Max and Millia's wedding Valkyrie) The Big M likely refers to Macross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Battle 7 just looked like it wanted to dance. that's great. I always' thought that Battle 7 looked rather clown like. the more menacing look of the newer NMC's make them more badass. I do find the Galaxy scarier looking than the frontier (Purple+more pointy bits=pure evil) I'm curious as to why the Galaxy has 2 points to the front of each arm flight deck instead of 1 as on all the other NMC's. though I wonder why any of the flight decks have long extended points like that in the first place.

When Millia got word that Max was chose the colours for Battle 7, she got mad and had the paintes paint the M red.

Stealth considerations, in other words, avoiding presenting any flat surfaces from the front. Edited October 26, 2008 by d3v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'd love to see Battle 7 redone in higher quality presentation. Darken the colours a bit, replace the big red "M" with the old U.N. Spacey emblem. Give it the DYRL treatment. As others pointed out, the original TV version Macross has the same colours. Primarily blue and white, with red and yellow highlights.

d3v Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) You never know, they could have simply found a new use for the VF-9 and VF-14 to keep them in service longer. Edited October 30, 2008 by d3v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one flown by Max in M3 or the Varauta VF-14. The VF-17 I can understand since in 2048 Macross 7 switched to the VF-17 as the mainline fighter replacing the VF-11. Besides the VF-17 is better than the cheaper VF-171. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the VF-17 is better than the cheaper VF-171. the Fz-109 was based on the VF-14, but it's not really a variant. and a NUNS fleet isn't going to have any of them since they were developed by the Varauta after the protodeviln had taken over. I guess VF-17's would be plausible, though I'm more inclined to believe that Galaxy feet's air wing is composed entirely of VF-27's and V-9's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If the Varauta Fz-109 Elgerzorene is any indication, the VF-14 was quite advanced and had performance comparable to the VF-17 Nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The Varauta variable fighters are definitely based off the VF-14, but you can't upgrade something into a new fighter generation, so the VF-14s had to be high performing to begin with. Even an upgraded variant based upon the VF-14 could only go so far. The VF-14 at least had to be a better performer than the newer VF-11 in order for the Varauta to upgrade it to VF-17 levels of performance. For all their vaunted powers, the Varauta never came across as significantly advanced to the UN Spacy. They couldn't even build super beam guns and were totally taken aback by the attack of the Battle 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
