Valkyrie Micro Missile Launcher Pods

newest issue:

In one of the 4 newly published PS2 DYRL game books there is the assertion that the designation for the micro missile which are fired from the HMMP-02 FAST Pack launchers are the same missile which are used by the GBP-1S (Armored Valkyire), the GH-32.

This is interesting and mayve proviable since we that the VF-0's micro missile launcher (leg/engine pod-mounted FAST Packs) use GH-30s. So there is a corrilation between micro missile model numbers.

The problem is presently we have been going off Tanaka Kiyomi (Studio Nue)'s VF-1S Strike Valkyrie cutaway schematic. That cutaways depicts 3 micro missiles in each launch tube (12 per HMMP-02 launcher pod).

These micro missile have been designated HMM-1. Masahiro Chiba (MAT) has also referred to these missiles are also HMM-1s and says that there are twenty 24 per Super Valkyrie. Which is supported by Studio Nue.

Now another issue:

Considering the above... Shogakukan published a photo card collection which states that each launcher has 20 micro missiles not 12. This is later seen in Yamato's Valkyrie figures.

So which is right?

Another thing... the UMM-7 micro missile pods also are said to have HMM-1 micro missiles contain within. Yet, visually these missiles are not the same type of missiles found in the Tanaka cutaway mentioned above.

Kawamori's illustrations show that these missiles are different as well. On screen in DYRL we see what looks like "MG-37" (missile grenade - ?) written on the side of the missiles fired from the UUM-7 pods.

So which is correct?

Egan Loo, do you have any comment?

Actually, there are no newly published Do You Remember Love? game books—not since 1997. There is no Do You Remember Love-only PS2 game. The Kiyomi Tanaka poster that comes with the Macross the Movie book does not designate the micro-missiles in the HMMP-02 pod as HMM-1. Once again, please do not rely on the Macross Attack Team/"Multi-Configulation Analysis Team" unofficial fan doujinshi.

I made mistake-I was refering to the Macross Which We Love book published by Takarajima. On p.15, there is obviously an error in which the HMMP-02's missiles are named as being GH-32 micro missiles. The HMMP-02-use micro missiles look very different from the GBP-1S' GH-32s. You avoided most of the original post....
