sketchley Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Extra Report + project: Worldguide 25A: Renown VF Squadrons: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRworldguide/25ARenownVFsquads.php This feels like it'll be an easy sheet to polish off, but I also have the funny feeling that at the time of writing, it won't be worth that effort... Partial (to get rid of that feeling of deja vu that I've translated it whenever I look at the sheet...) Mechanic: D7 Etc 02B VA-3CKai Invader Kai: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/D7etc02BVA-3Ckai.php I think I got the most interesting stuff on the sheet (aka information that, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't previously been made available in English). Interesting how the poaching group has gone to so much effort to increase it's underwater performance.

Technology 03A: Destroid: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtechnology/03aDestroid.php Nothing terribly unexpected, but it reinforces the removal of the ETs from the Destroid development history.

One or two of them makes things somewhat more consistent with previously published materials, but a lot bleaker. Mechanic: Zero UN 01B: VF-0S Phoenix: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/Zeroun01bVF-0S.php - a bunch of minor edits to the existing page. The new content is interesting, but not exactly unexpected. Partial: History: Plus 02A: Sharon Apple Galaxy Tour (Eden Performance): http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRhistory/Plus02aSharonAppleConcert.php - neat that there was a temporary sales ban on her music as punishment.

However, everywhere I looked was full of interesting info (some of it heretofore untranslated into English!). Alas, there are two strikes against the sheet: they've removed the reference to where South Ataria Island is (other sources have given a specific location), and the fictitious mid-East country that is the nominal start of the Unification War.

VF30 Chronos (fighter mode)? Could be something else, picture too blurry to be certain. It's a reproduction of a page that's in issue #1 of the new Chronicle. The VF-30 isn't there... I *think* the VT-1/VE-1 pic may be new (bottom row, third from the left), and I can't recall if Tenjin did the VF-3000 and Variable Glauj (second row from the top, on the left) in the old version or not. All of the other pics look familiar. Oh, and there's a typo on the page... unless there's a VF-1SS and it looks exactly like the VF-2SS...

nexxstrait Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 What's on the next issue (# 11) cover? It is usually previewed on the last pages of the magazine. A new piece by Tenjin or some of his old works? And is the VF4 Battroid in color this time (I'm not referring to the M&M Red e Blue ones, but to the Hikaru one)?

sketchley Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Complete! (and this really, truly feels complete, as I've been slogging away at it for 4 days!) Technology 01C: Variable Fighter: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtechnology/01cVariableFighter.php - this is the mother load of info on gun pods. There's really too much new info to summarize in a few lines. There's only one thing that should probably be pointed out as it tended to get lost in the translation: the article continually reinforces that gun pods are "real object bullet" firing weapons (as opposed to beam and laser guns, that don't fire a solid object). Most times, I rendered it as bullet-firing. Sometimes as corporeal bullet pending the context (as real object bullet is just confusing, IMHO).

Renato Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 What the hell? I can't find issue 09 anywhere! And they're over 1300 yen at amazon now! They're definitely printing these in a smaller run compared to the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchley Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Complete! Worldguide 10A: Zentraadi: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRworldguide/10AZentraadi.php - quite interesting, and goes a long way toward highlighting how callously monstrous the Protoculture really were. What happened to them is kind of fitting in a way. Probably the most interesting are the clarifications in the revised edition to the differences in internal structure with humans (especially when macronized) and the possibility of humans being macronized. What the hell? I can't find issue 09 anywhere! And they're over 1300 yen at amazon now! They're definitely printing these in a smaller run compared to the originals. Could it be that stores are ordering less from the distributor? I know there are a handful of MWers who aren't purchasing it regularly, and stores are basing their orders on that. Though, I am surprised that Amazon is listing it at that price. This past Saturday I saw at least 3 issues in the neighbourhood of my workplace at 2 different bookstores. Which suggests that you *should* be able to find one at cover price if you're willing to shop around a bit more off the beaten track.
