He was at least a Colonel in the NUNS when he retired... very likely a Brigadier General or even higher. Not that that has any actual bearing on his rank in Xaos, which is a private civilian outfit. That said, Ozma's YF-29 in Macross 30 was basically a cosmetic difference and the Spacy's version (YF-29B) exceeded its performance and used the Alto-type head.

twich Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I too am curious on this, as I do not recall it being quantified how the YF-29B was an upgraded version of the original other than it saying "An upgraded version of the original" Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mystery... as others have said, all we're told is that the YF-29B is a higher-performance New UN Spacy Special Forces version of the YF-29 produced on a limited basis for the 815th Independent Squadron HAVAMAL's aces.

Bolt Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Lol. You're saying he got even better after living in space? Maybe he got better being married to an ace Meltran 🙅😁 I'm only keeping my Isamu 29. (Got the 29B up for grabs) But Max's 29 has me wanting..

borgified Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Anymore enabling with the DX Max 29 Full Set when you do get it @Saburo? I already have the Perceval and will be trying to get this also (if my budget doesn't explode with the HT reveals and a three year wait). Might get Osma's sometime down the road as I do like the colour scheme, however no promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm well I don't really love any of them, but I don't dislike any of them either. They're just varying levels of "decent but not amazing." Except the 30th anniversary livery. That thing is hideous. They have just enough wonky design choices to make drag them down, but not enough to make them bad. Like the tiger stripes or the angled spine stripe that kinda just tapers off. None of them really stand out to me like Focker's VF-0/VF-1 or Isamu's YF-19 or Alto/Ozma's VF-25s.

borgified Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So… Alto‘s “Heart Shield” on the 29 is used to protect his love for Sheryl correct (and the earring is for him to hear her singing right)? 🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hopefully the potential change to matte finish also brings some modifications to joints. This is still potentially the 1.5/2.0 modification to the 25 from a decade ago and those old joints can get pretty floppy in short order.

Bolt Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Yes , it is so. Did a quick search at the faithful Scorched Earth. There were a few design improvements, including this. So Max's 29 will undoubtedly have these same improvements. Edited April 15, 2022 by Bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 There's also those ratchet joints that @jenius mentioned on the wing pivot esp when Super Parts are mounted, and in the chest mechanism as well. Though he did mentioned that the ratchet joint on the chest felt too fart apart and didn't feel solid compared to non-ratchet joint version.
