scand Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Does anybody have a picture of Hikaru sitting in his cockpit. The picture was on the inside cover of the Robotech CD. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurel Tristen Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I've never seen this in the form of a Japanese source... I wonder if one exists. Interesting missile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) http://steampowered.net/temp/hikaru-cdbook.jpg hmm. that art looks like it has DYRL-controls. Edited June 23, 2004 by treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 The second CD also has a picture of a Strike Valkyrie on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 that art looks like it has DYRL-controls. Actually, I was just thinking it was TV-style controls. The left hand in DYRL-style controls is in an enclosed handle, and this pic has a manual thrust control. Plus the uniform and helmet are all TV-style, so it would make sense that the vehicle would follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Tristen Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Probably some Robo-crap comic picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 It looks too good and older in origin to be Robotech. I rather like it. Any "Robocrap" Comic picture from back then is pretty easily identifiable due to its lack of quality. And 99.9% certainly weren't painted, as this one is.

scand Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks guys. I believe this art looks to good for HG to have anything to do with it. I'm sure it comes from an official source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebhead Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 most art is not Robotech-made, with the exception of the comics and recent Tommy Y stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 http://steampowered.net/temp/hikaru-cdbook.jpg hmm. that art looks like it has DYRL-controls. That pic is straight out of lineart with Hikaru added in. I can't believe it's been mistaken for RT art... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 The helmet looks like taken out from G-Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypiman247 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 The second CD also has a picture of a Strike Valkyrie on it. On a similar note, the first Robotech novel by Jack McKinney has the DYRL version of the SDF-1 Macross on it, as opposed to the version from the series. This really threw me off when I first purchased the book, since I didn't know of DYRL's existance at the time, and I was wondering what the hell the Macross had on its arms (they later turned out to be the redesinged ARMD carriers)... So young, so naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypiman247 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Here's the reverse of my last post. On the cover of the movie "SuperdimensionalFortress Macross" (not the original series, but instead, a 1995 U.S. dub of DYRL that came out on vhs) they use the series SDF-1. Weird. Here's the pic: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6303501141.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Khyron_Prime Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Weird. Yeah. Too bad that even third-party liscensors can't get the freakin' differences right. But heck, I can't oppose ANYONE using the DYRL? Macross, 'cause y'all know its the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
