mister_e Posted December 2, 2003 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted December 2, 2003 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 2, 2003 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxoChu Posted December 2, 2003 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
