So, if the monster was in a jungle, it could use the claws to grab tree roots? Because, just grabbing 500 lbs of dirt wouldn't help much I don't think.
It's ok, the monster claws are silly, no big deal.
Sheesh birdmen, relax, don't worry so much about us humans. If you wouldn't crash your super space fortresses on our planet, we would blow ourselves up at a much slower pace.
So, the Aphos activates the ship anti grav generators, then later asks Sara if the people of this planet have advanced technology? Uh, shouldn't it already know this?
The MKII monster must have some "BIG" magnets in it's feet so it can fire in space then.
So, the MKI can't fire on anything other than a carrier deck? Why not just mount some big guns on the carrier then?
I think the tie down cables make more sense.
You can still pick up a Hikaru 1J in both flavors on eBay...

I bought some from this seller recently with no problems, and the boxes were in perfect shape.
I would suggest watching the original OAV series before even thinking about watching 2040, so you can compare for yourself. Without a doubt, the original is a great show, though some people have a problem with the music.
I wasn't impressed with the story of 1-4, but enjoyed the dogfights. Same thing happened with episode 5 (though I still need to see a subbed version), but the way the Nora and DD went out was more of a let down than I expected.
Stamen0083, serious thanks for the writeups! Very useful info for me, I'm just getting into this sort of thing. Hopefully I can put some of this to use on my Yamato YF-19 project.
Slow progress due to Counter Strike Source, and Silent Hill 4 taking up my free time.
Bought a VF-19a off of sleddogg83 to use some of the better parts (like the knees, and grey arms and feet instead of blue-green).
Worked on the feet today.
Here's what they look like normally. Ratcheting front and back only.
Absolutely. There is no way to have the nice long nose in fighter, and a short one in battloid.
I am going to use two noses and make it easy to swap them with a polycap.
striderhiryu: I think yours look great, and I love the fastpacks, especially the custom arm weapons.
If you want to judge for yourself...

As for my opinion, I love them both. The problem seems to be getting a Masterpiece that doesn't have a bunch of quality problems.
You can see the blue and green here, and my old red one which will look pretty sad next to Jungs
