jipe Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi, my question is in the topic title. You can see the cover on macrossworld: entertainment bible 27 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesker99 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 It's the VF-1S.. but I've never seen that type of armor before. Probably just some drawing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 yeah, it's probably a prototype or just an early drawing of the fast packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeudi Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 fast packs seem to have some energy weapons, but the leg fast packs look like those from the hobby book, or the "High Angel" fan custom model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 well, the leg fast-packs are very similar to the VF-1 "Deep Diver" setup... no telling about the rest. It'd make a cool custom though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodMedia Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Just out of curiosity, why does every bad drawing of a Valkyrie suddenly have to be a whole new model series with officially sanctioned production histories and the blessings of the great Kawamori himself? I'm not dogging anyone, but really, it is really confusing and a bit frustrating that just because not every drawing of a Valkyrie is exactly like some other drawing that it automatically must be some obscure model of the Valyrie. To me the picture on the cover of that book just looks like a bad drawing of a plain old VF-1S. Maybe there's more in the book that I don't know about? What's the deal?

Zentrandude Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 it got me thinking of the vf-1sr from the macross 2036 game with the deep driver leg packs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people are picking up on details that you might have missed. First, let's get the picture in front of us so we can see what we're talking about... Differences off the top of my head: Weird red circles on the front of the back FP "Fingers" at tips of back FP similar to Macross cannon Large rocket engines on leg attachments Some kind of crossbar thingy on back FP (Edit) Arm attachments seem to be missing Edited July 22, 2004 by ewilen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdr Fokker Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 "Fingers" at tips of back FP similar to Macross cannon It looks to me like that could actually be the Macross in the background - or rather something resembling it. The angle of those twin booms compared to the angle of the Valkyrie makes it seem that they are not actually attached to it, but are in the background.

To me the picture on the cover of that book just looks like a bad drawing of a plain old VF-1S. Probably because this painting was done by Kawamori himself Actually, I agree with you. It's probably not fun for him to draw the same thing again and again, so that's how these unique, non-canon versions came about. Maybe there's more in the book that I don't know about? What's the deal? It's mostly cel drawings of the mecha and characters from the TV series, DYRL?, and FB2012. Nothing you haven't seen in any of the other Macross books.

Yeah, I'd say it's the Macross, you can see some of the blurred ARMD details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Enna Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 It looks only a VF-1S making that pose who hikaru makes at the end of SDF Macross opening, with strange rockets in the legs, a broken arm carring a gunpod and SDF-1 in Storm Attacker Mode on background.

Zentrandude Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 also the gunpod is slightly differnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I have Entertainment Bible # 27 and unfortuantely, there are no details or extra pictures of the cover valk inside. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 If that's the Macross in Storm Attack more in the background, where are the legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Enna Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004  If that's the Macross in Storm Attack more in the background, where are the legs? They end at the purple thing. I guess it's a old valk drawing with other elements on the background to make it like a cool photo-montage. At least, it won't become so cool.

Skull Leader Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 just because we're analyzing it doesn't mean it's canon. I was simply pointing out some of the possible influences behind the design... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 maybe an early upgraded VF-1? looks like it has a scoop on the head... I don't think I care much for the design though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scand Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Sorta reminds me of the concept art in perfect memory or the gold book. There is some wierd looking mecha in there. It was interesting to see the different concepts for the Macross though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeudi Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 It looks to me like that could actually be the Macross in the background - or rather something resembling it. Yeah, I'd say it's the Macross, you can see some of the blurred ARMD details. Sorry- there is no way that is the SDF-1. It is clearly not, those "fingertips" appear to be some sort of vane, like a canard or radar boom. Not the ARMDs. Like was said, probably just a variation drawn for fun. No one thinks it is in any way canon, but it is fun to speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 It looks only a VF-1S making that pose who hikaru makes at the end of SDF Macross opening, with strange rockets in the legs, a broken arm carring a gunpod and SDF-1 in Storm Attacker Mode on background. Broken arm ? it seems to be broken, but that's only the posture in fact, red circles are just headlights because space is very very dark more seriously, why not... Some WWII aircrafts had some lights in the nose for night fight (not really effective) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3ptune Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I think that it is just an artistic variation on the fast Packs. Also, the purple blur, is THAT the macross in "ship" mode or whatever? That's the first thing I thought it was - a blurred/stylistic Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSixx Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 COOL?! Looks like some bad bootleg painting off some cheesy toy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
