  1. I'm wondering if Var Syndrome is perhaps short for Varauta Syndrome? Heh, heh

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Well, according to Sketchley's translation of the official page, the armaments are: Armaments Head Laser 2 Gun Pods built into forearms (shell firing) 6 micro-missile launchers (3 per leg) 4 wing hardpoints (2 per wing)
  3. Thanks for the explanation/clarification Tochiro, that's the first actual explanation we've got so far.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    No, no, no, it doesn't work like that. Nearly every part of the VF-19 Kai is completely different to the YF-19, so much so that about 98% new molds are needed.
  5. No, not surprised at all, they have been working on it for ages already. In fact if anything I feel they are late......haha.Anyway, hope this is not gonna be a battle of the bands, reality show, sing-off/fly-off, where they shoot at each other with non-lethal laser-tag guns and paint missiles.......urghhh

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hmm, I'm betting that grey rectangular thing on the underside of the weapons pod is a beam gun.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hmm, the toy is missing the wing hardpoints from the anime

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I think you mean are there any 'men'. We need a manly Isamu or Ozma type main character.
  9. Not really digging the forearm guns on the VF-31. If they are shell firing cannons, then with only a single barrel the rate of fire would be lower than a multi-barrelled gunpod and also looking quite small and being located on the arms, the ammo capacity would likely be very low as there is not much space to hold ammo. However, I suspect they are beam guns, given the recent trend with the VF-27, YF-29 and VF-30 to use rapid fire beam-gunpods. But unless there has been a rapid advance in beamgun technology since Frontier & Macross 30, then there is no way they will be as powerful as a full size beam-gunpod used on the VF-27/YF-29/YF-30. To me they look only slightly larger than the hip/wing-root beamguns the VF-25 has as secondary weapons. I'm a traditionalist, I like my VFs to have gunpods, whether they be shell firing or beamguns.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yep, definitely forearm guns. As I posted in the other thread, I guess they rotate 180° along the forearms, so that they can point forward in fighter mode.
  11. Wasn't Leon's call sign when flying the YF-30 Chronos "Siegfried 001"
  12. I'm guessing the VF-31's forearm guns can rotate 180° on the forearm, so they can point forward both in Battroid and Fighter modes. Anyway as well as the mystery back mounted weapon pod(s), the VF-31 seems pretty well armed. Not for me. Frontier taller gave me chills, Delta's trailer, is just meh for me.
  13. Ha, so I called it right previously on the blue (not red) color for the SV-262. No gunpod for the VF-30 But are those long barreled forearm guns I see? Anyway, while the VFs looks good, not really liking what I'm seeing of the characters or setting......urghhhh Graham
  14. Hope it's NOT "Masterpiece", don't want the Yamato legacy tarnished with a Toynami name.....yuck. I'm guessing " Mass Production". Although from what I remember from the admittedly non-canon Master Files, there was only a very small amount of VF-1J actually produced. Graham
  15. What does the "MP" in the thread title stand for? Graham
  16. I'm liking it more in those new pics. And at least it's confirmed the gunpod can attach in fighter mode. Graham
  17. Given Bandai's stellar work on the VF-19 Advance, I'd really love to see their take on the VF-2SS with SAP. I'm guessing the gunpod will not mount in fighter mode on the Evolution VF-2SS. Mind you, I always used to think that the VF-2SS should had two gunpods mounted on forearms in fighter mode based on the SAP, not just one on the centerline. Graham
  18. Still keeping my two preorders. Not perfect but not bad. Graham
  19. I think I threw my Yamato Konig in the trash a couple of years ago. It was so froppy, I couldn't be assed tying to sell it.
  20. I'd buy a red Milia VF-17S if Arcadia made it. Graham
  21. Get the Bandai without a doubt. It's a great toy. The Yamato is a froppy mess. Heck, can you even still find the Yamato anymore anyway? Graham
  22. Ah, didn't know it had been posted already.
  23. From Facebook. Originally from Twitter. Find courtesy of Ollie Barder. Can't read the Japanese from the original Twitter part, but I'm guessing this is a fan made lineart interpretation. Graham
  24. All I want is cool mecha designs and lots of amazingly choreographed and animated VF on VF fights set to great music. Everything else is secondary to that to me
