Budokhan Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hey Gang! Got a small question here, has there ever been such a thing as a VF-1 Valkyrie or VF-1 Strike Valkyrie with a fold booster attached to it? I cant ever remember seeing anything like this for the original MACROSS series stuff & I know it did manifest in subsequent shows but were there ever any kind of hints that it was maybe something planned & yet never executed? Like in one of the art books that show concept models & ideas for the show? I'm just curious because I was thinking of building the old 1/72 IMAI Variable Valk kit into a sortof "Skunkworks" version of a Fold booster assisted Super Strike Valk, like as if it were maybe a one-off that had a catastrophic accident which caused the whole project to be scrapped until the technology could be perfected.. Any hints, answers or general exclamations of total disbelief as to my lack of knowledge all-things-Macross, would be just swell! Thanks all!

SchizophrenicMC Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Ah, no. No, there wasn't. And, from what I've gathered, the reason was the VF-1 didn't produce enough power and didn't have a strong enough spaceframe to handle an independent fold. The YF-19 and 21 were the first to have that ability. Don't let it discourage you, though. Non-canon can be fun, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
