ULessa Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Seeing stuff in Gearwalk makes me want a second copy of everything to display it in that (I mostly have my Valks in Battroid or fighter). All this $$$ I don't have to spend (yet) Quote
seti88 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 hello gorgeous! from tochiro's feed...https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/719175501319790592 Quote
wmkjr Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Going by the intro, I guess they have enough articulation to grab the beam canon from the back/harness in battroid? Quote
Mommar Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 The 31A has already appeared in the show??? What was the context for its appearance. Quote
Raptor One Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) FYI, we also see the VF-31 on it's gear in the second episode. It's the same design. It does look better in the show though. If I wasn't looking for it, I wouldn't have even noticed they aren't designed the standard way Edited April 10, 2016 by Raptor One Quote
ManhattanProject972 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Well looks like we know how the 31E's radome folds up now. The 31A has already appeared in the show??? What was the context for its appearance. It was seen flying in the sky by Hayate and later seen being serviced on the flight deck of the Elysium. Quote
Mommar Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Also, note the landing gear. Those DX knees will be folding under as well. Quote
Raptor One Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I dunno though. I might have to switch my vote the 31A as well. I'll give it an episode or two before I decide Quote
spanner Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 hello gorgeous! from tochiro's feed...https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/719175501319790592 oh my gosh yeah! now that is one pretty plane! looks like i may indeed be buying only the 31A after all! hubba hubba! Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 oh my gosh yeah! now that is one pretty plane! looks like i may indeed be buying only the 31A after all! hubba hubba! you know that's a lie. Quote
spanner Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 you know that's a lie. you seem to know me too well then! hehe! Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) I don't know about you, but I'm gonna need a 31A; Delta 3, 4, and 5 for OTP shipping purposes; and possibly Delta 2 as well just because. BTW is the marking on the 31A 'alpha 01'? Edited April 10, 2016 by anime52k8 Quote
spanner Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) yeah it certainly will be hard to not want to buy all of them that's for sure! for me personally im just not in as good a position as I was 12 to 18 months ago but I definitely have some serious thinking and planning to do in the next 6 months if I do decide to buy the lot. It does look like it is "01" doesn't it.. so that one is meant to be a cannon fodder variant yes or no? im still a little confused by it all. also trying to find somewhere to watch the 2nd episode.. with subs..

Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Where's the preorder button for the VF-31A!!! Quote
Moosey Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Where's the preorder button for the VF-31A!!! What he said! With bells on Quote
sh9000 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I think I'll buy them all. I'm also down to buy some DX VF-1's if Bandai makes them. Quote
Mommar Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 The gears look more realistic in animation than they do on that model. Quote
seti88 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Well looks like we know how the 31E's radome folds up now. Screen Shot 2016-04-10 at 3.20.56 PM.png It was seen flying in the sky by Hayate and later seen being serviced on the flight deck of the Elysium. That's a nice catch dude! Didnt realize the radome diameter was so small to be tucked away like that tho... Here's your damn landing gears. Hahaha damm puzzle solved! Though I wished the front struts were a lil shorter so that it had a aggressive dipped stance... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Here's your damn landing gears. 04? Waiting for a certain David to pop in to see pictures of his boo . And after all of this speculation, the appearance of the landing gears sure is...anti-climatic. -b. Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Damn, too many purchase combinations of the VF-31. I personally don't want to get all but I will prioritise the following: VF-31A VF-31F Messer x Keith SV-262 - rivals VF-31F Messer x VF-31S Arad - dual emblems VF-31J and C - Hayate Mirage pair Quote

Chronocidal Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Seeing how the gear are supposed to look is meaningless. Bandai actually has to actually care enough to make them look that way. Edited April 11, 2016 by Chronocidal Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 We all know it actually won't look like that. If anything they'll probably implement a similar foldable nose landing gear from their VF-19 Advance. It's the only way to store em in that tiny space. Quote

Nekko Basara Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Here's your damn landing gears. There ya go - with some proper mechanical detail on them, they look fine. Maybe not the most practical design, but not something from a Transformer toy. Quote
Scyla Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 That radome sure is disappointing in its transformation. However this is exactly how I thought it would transform. Still a disappointment. Quote
Sandman Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Did I miss a pic of the radome transformation? Why is it bad? Quote
Scyla Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Did I miss a pic of the radome transformation? Why is it bad? According to the picture hidden in the spoiler tags it just folds into three parts where the two outer parts fold down 90 degrees to create the VF-31 box (sorta). See here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43115&p=1267124 Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Seeing how the gear are supposed to look is meaningless. Bandai actually has to actually care enough to make them look that way. So true. At least in the animation, the main wheels are attached to angled shock struts and the kneepads are just doors, as a real aircraft would be designed. Hopefully, Bandai will follow through on the animation design for the DX. Not holding my breath, but I can still hope. I'm also a little disappointed that the radome doesn't fold into a nice rectangular box on the 31E. As it is, it resembles my kitchen table with the leaves down. Two more hinges would've made a noticeable difference. Quote

seti88 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 radome looks like taco. Thats the word am looking for! Quote
raptormesh Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Landing gear actually looks ok in the animation, one can hope it will be translated well on the DX. So... Tacovalk then? Edited April 11, 2016 by raptormesh Quote
