Graham Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Off topic, but I never got the feeling that the Global was the last of the Macross Class. If anything, I got the impression from Frontier that many might have been produced for purposes other than colonization. Graham

Morpheus Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Quick question, the Quarter will be transformable right? So it will have cruiser mode -> gerwalk mode? -> storm attacker mode?
DarkReaper Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I guess that's a given. Bandai wouldn't make it a DX if it weren't.
edwin3060 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 SDF-2 Megaroad (Original) became Megaroad-1 SDF-2 Megaroad (Second attempt at an SDF-2) was the SDF(N?)-2. I read that somewhere, though I don't remember where. SDF-3 is unnamed, as far as I know. SDF-4 Global was the last one, last time I checked. I read it, I believe, on the Compendium... May have changed since then, what with Chronicles. There's nothing like that on the Macross Compendium

If anything, I got the impression from Frontier that many might have been produced for purposes other than colonization. I agree, I don't get the impression it's the last either. The fact that they listed the Global as the fourth and not just the third seems to give weight to the idea that more Macross ships exist.
505thAirborne Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Quick question, the Quarter will be transformable right? So it will have cruiser mode -> gerwalk mode? -> storm attacker mode? Hopefully it will be, especially considering it will probably be an expensive toy!! We'll know in a few more days!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well, I know I read somewhere that the Global was last... Maybe it said last we know of... I dunno... Moving on: I wants this Quarter!
Cyclone Trooper Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Another off-topic statement... Maybe in the new designation system, SDFN stands for "Super Dimension Fortress-New"? Dunno... Only the Holy Froating Head knows for sure.

Only the Holy Froating Head knows for sure. I never got the N in SDFN, but I think it's got something to do with Navy.
biggooftoybox Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 What's the reported scale on the Macross Quarter? It could be cool but personally i'd rather have more valks.
Cyclone Trooper Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I never got the N in SDFN, but I think it's got something to do with Navy. Actually, you may be on to something here... Think about it: by 2059, there are literally dozens of Macross/Megaroad/New Macross fortresses, so in essence, they'd comprise a whole navy of ships. The Global would be the fourth dimensional fortress built for the SDF Navy. It's a working hypothesis, at any rate...

Only the Holy Froating Head knows for sure. I think the N stands for "now what do we do" in reference to the hole they wrote themselves into by making the megaroad the SDF-2 Edited February 21, 2009 by anime52k8
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I think the N stands for "now what do we do" in reference to the whole they wrote themselves into by making the megaroad the SDF-2 Or, maybe it's "Never do that again"...
Cyclone Trooper Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) I think the N stands for "now what do we do" in reference to the hole they wrote themselves into by making the megaroad the SDF-2 That was something I never quite wrapped my mind around either. This is another example of trying to fit something that was obviously supposed to be a spin-off of DYRL into the TV-series timeline. A square peg into a round hole, indeed. It has been cited on numerous sites that Flashback 2012 was little more than an expanded "full version" of the ending credits from DYRL with a bunch of other Minmay songs thrown in as filler between Parts I and II of the Megaroad Launch montage. But somehow, miraculously, just as the SDF-2 was nearly completed...at the last minute, it is completely stripped down and rebuilt into a completely different ship design altogether? C'mon! Structurally, the two ships don't remotely look similar at all... If anything, the Megaroad shares more design elements with the New Macross Class than either version of the SDF-1. The only common denominator it shares with the DYRL SDF-1 (or SDF-2 for that matter) is the fact that it has the huge ARMD-like structures port and starboard. It has the same supercarrier design as the New Macross ships...even if it DOES look like a space-going glass window! Edited February 21, 2009 by Cyclone Trooper
azrael Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Enough with the WTF-1 yapping. This thread is for the Macross Quarter toy.
505thAirborne Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Enough with the WTF-1 yapping. This thread is for the Macross Quarter toy. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Enough with the WTF-1 yapping. This thread is for the Macross Quarter toy. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, fine. So, what is the Quarter's designation? NMC-1/4?
edwin3060 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Ok, fine. So, what is the Quarter's designation? NMC-1/4? In going with the whole 25th anniversary thing, i'd say NMC-25/100
anime52k8 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Ok, fine. So, what is the Quarter's designation? NMC-1/4? funny... I was thinking MQ-1 realistically.
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 funny... I was thinking MQ-1 realistically. I was actually thinking it might not have a classification like that. More along the lines of a blanket class, like SS for sailing ships today... Perhaps it's MQ-25...
Cyclone Trooper Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Call me a loner here, but I never really liked the Quarter for some reason. Dunno if it's the size (or lack thereof) or the overall design. Compared to the older U.N. Spacy vessels, it and any of the newer ships look a little too smooth-hulled to me...like transformable Zentran ships or something. But maybe this DX version will make me repent...

505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 i hope this is a 2 foot toy as well Sad to say it won't be, but after seeing the new Yamato SDF-1 at 2 ft long, maybe the Battle Frontier will be that size???
Guest sh002 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 maybe 1/2000 scale as well then so we can have both stand next to each other.
macrossnake Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Sad to say it won't be, but after seeing the new Yamato SDF-1 at 2 ft long, maybe the Battle Frontier will be that size??? But they both could be in the same scale!!! (1/2000) That would be nice.
Guest sh002 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 that would be cool. like if bandai and yamato were secretly working together but not really with their 1/60 and 1/2000 stuff.
Vifam7 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 First image I could find of the Macross Quarter prototype
CF18 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks! And they are going to make EX-Gear! Now that is a surprise.
eugimon Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 First image I could find of the Macross Quarter prototype awesome, looks great. this is shaping up to be a very expensive year!
505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 First image I could find of the Macross Quarter prototype I like it !!!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 First image I could find of the Macross Quarter prototype Consider my pants sufficiently pissed. I want it. I'll get this and the new Yammie SDF-1, and I'll hang them from my ceiling.... Or, maybe for safety, sit them on my bookshelf...
