mister_e Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Just curious, what up with the circle-bar (you know, the little design that looks like a black circle with a bar through it) on the VF-1? Do they actually have some kind of fuction or are they purely cosmetic? I've always just wondered.
mikeszekely Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Good question, especially since there's so many. If I had to guess, though, I'd say maybe they're verniers.
Graham Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Yes, they are verniers and the bar is a hook-handle for attachment of chains for tying down or lifting the valk. Graham
ManxoChu Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) Vernier thrusters might be plausible, which was why that was my *second* guess. My first guesstimate were that they're anchor points for use when lifting the mecha. Why so many? If they are anchor points, imagine taking apart a Valkyrie for repairing/replacing damaged sections of the variable fighter. Anchor points would make it easier to move parts about. Edit: N/m... Thanks, Graham, for letting me know it was BOTH of my guesses combined. Edited December 2, 2003 by ManxoChu
