Maybe the Frontier picked up the bits and stored it between the arms when it transformed back into carrier mode? Make repairs easier maybe if they can salvage whats left of the gunship. At least the Quarter's gun is mostly intact, it took a hit near the butt area and was thrown out of the Quarter's hand.

I voted Macross Frontier for various reasons. Overall it had fantastic animation quality for the most part (handful of horribly animated scenes and some cheaply animated filler-ish episodes). Great cast of characters that we haven't seen the likes of since the original series, as opposed to just a small handful of characters. Furthered the story without making a number of old school Macross fans vomit, like Macross 7 did. The awesomeness of Macross Plus and Zero in a tv series. Great mecha design and action scenes. This series had people more worked up over each episode than the entire of Macross Zero (see WTF-1 as a good example). Fantastic music that had a bit of everything from the history of Macross (exception of Plus and Zero). It's a great successor to the original series. For now it's what I consider to be the best animated Macross production. Macross Frontier Macross DYRL Macross Plus Macross Zero SDF Macross Macross 7 -Macross II can stay alone in its little corner, the little bastard child about a war reporter.

The voice singing Aimo at the end of the episode was Sakamoto Maya, Ranshe Mae's seiyuu, and vocalist for Triangular opening. Maybe it was the Queen Vajra singing it through Ranka's memory of Ransha Mae, since the other queen had communicated to her through Ranshe Mae's image before.

Badass. I know what kind of VF-171EX toy I want now. Sheryl Guard!

To be honest I'd be more interested in the Macross Plus standard issue pilot helmet, like what Isamu and the cannon fodders were wearing. I couldn't care less for the YF-21 flight helmet, but the helmet that Isamu wears, I really like that design. I'm also liking the SMS flight helmets, not as much as the Macross Plus helmet, but I like them a lot.

If they go the DYRL route, it'll be a retelling as a movie in the Macross universe. I'm hoping for a continuing story. We never saw the Galaxy city section get destroyed, and we don't know how much of Galaxy's fleet was actually destroyed at the Vajra planet. Who were the rest of Galaxy anonymous? Bilrer was hoping to see Minmay, so what was he hoping for? Was it to see some idols singing the fleet to victory like Minmay, or was he expecting something else via the fold quartz, like being able to communicate to another galaxy where the Megaroad may have been transported to? The love triangle isn't exactly solved, although I feel that Alto sees Ranka as like a little sister to mentor and protect, while he sees Sheryl as the love interest. I'm not saying that's the way it is, but that's how it looks to me. If it doesn't get solved without a doubt, I can still live with it the way it's ended. Will we see new mecha? VF-24? Some VF-19s? Another fleet? Any cameos from previous Macross series? How about more links to solve what happened to Sara and Shin from Macross Zero? Did Mao and Ranshe die when the 177th Research Fleet get destroyed, or are they on the Galaxy fleet now?

Anyone notice that the VF-171EXs in the final episode have a squadron emblem on their backs like Ozma's VF-25 has the skull emblem? Look at the VF-171EX that gets blown away by the Ghost V-9 at tge 3:19-3:20 mark, when he changes into battroid before screaming "YAMEROOOO!". Looks like an eagle or angel with spread wings.

I wish you were right on that one... I wonder what the penalty is for assassinating the UN president... Especially when you think about how Isamu was warning Yang that they could be executed for stealing the YF-19.

Well as of the time that DYRL was made in the Macross Universe, they had holo technology as we saw Hikaru and Minmay hopping around onto different discs trying out holographic costumes. So having Sheryl use that during her concerts is a nice tribute to DYRL.

I think I read it a long time ago. But this means that we've seen the fleet that Lynn Kaifun and the sucktastic Fire Bomber American band is.

I wonder how quality will be on it. The early run of toys of the Saint Cloth Myths had horrible quality control, so you had to be careful and inspect the toy through the split case window box, to make sure that there weren't any visible problems. From there you had to cross your fingers and hope that the armor would fit and didn't have any issues (and at first Bandai didn't have high QC standards on those toys). If Macross Frontier merchandise is successful, they may come back and redo the VF-25 to look good. Much like when they made later versions of certain characters armor from Saint Seiya, they updated how the figures looked to make them look more like the particular characters.

What valkyrie addict said. The first turn is very tight and feels like its stuck. At first I started to panic before I realized that you had to turn in a particular direction with a lot of force. After that it loosens up. They're also very tightly placed in the wheel well, and at first the landing bay doors are pretty tightly set in place.

Add me to this, so now it's "we were right that the Global was NOT the SDF Macross" And people called zinjo crazy, said he was off the deepend, and that there were invisible dragons behind him that he'd never see. He argued it more vocally, so he got more flak. We were right.

That's another thing that's been bothering me as well. That VF-25 toy isn't very well integrated with all its parts.

If it were just the helmet and priced around $300-450 range, I'd be interested if they got the Max blue right. I wouldn't want Apollo squadron's purple color. The Star Wars Master Replicas clonetrooper helmets went in that price range. And might I add that they had cushion support material inside the helmets so you could wear them.

Saw it late last night, F-ING AWESOME! And there's a movie coming out to boot! It's a good time to be a Macross Fan.

Based upon the past few releases, I'll have to go with B, the VF-11B looks so amazing it will burn out our retinas. Great looking VF-0, Fantastic YF-19, badass SV-51, fantastic YF-21, awesome VF-1 v2. Worrisome that Graham has been left out of the loop for the moment.

My my, this VF-25 sure isn't lacking in crotch size. Legs are placed too high on this one too, but the torso appears to be longer, which counterbalances it a bit. All those pieces to swap out, aw man...

I'm also afraid of leaning figure syndrome with that pose on one leg. It's a dynamic and nice pose, showing off a lot of energy, but it also puts the fear in me that she me start leaning. Yeah, I really hope that a Sheryl and a Macro-Klan Klan are released.

I hope that the gunpod won't be ungodly overly large. It's a big beefy gunpod, but it shouldn't look like the VF-11B is a 4-year old holding a Desert Eagle.

That VF-1S is a wave plastic kit. Less than vertical on the crotchpiece should make the VF-25 appear taller, not shorter, as the legs would be closer to the ground. Holy crap that's a lot of parts to lose.

I'm on the fence on it. There are other things higher on my priority list, like saving up for the VF-11B, saving up for a 1/60 VF-1A Max v2, and saving for a couple of other non-Macross figures. Plus this figure doesn't have any of the fire that makes Klan Klan Klan Klan.

The admins deserve much more respect than an outburst comparing them to nazis and telling them to "piss off", and pulling a whole "look at me being abused" stunt. If anything the admins here on Macross world have been more lenient than ever. Hell Agent One is back! The admins are here to keep the peace, keep everything smooth flowing, and keep the place enjoyable. That means locking up certain threads. That means enforcing the rules. The admins stepped in and asked people to stop spamming, and misterryno blew up. There've been more than enough "free so-and-so who got banned by breaking the rules, having a bad attitude, and being disrespectful" threads over the years. They never do well as it just becomes a popularity contest, admin bashing, accusations of abuse of power, and so-forth. I forsee a threadlock, followed by an explanation of a number of things.

It doesn't look any more vertical to me than some of the other 1/60 VF-25 pictures. Being the case, I don't see how that would have helped it make the legs sit lower even if the crotch was angled more vertical. If anything, having it be more vertical should make it appear even more squat as the legs would sit higher. The pose might be helping this 1/100 appearance-wise, but it does appear to look less hunched and have slimmer legs and an overall slimmer build.

With misinformation everywhere and quite some time to go until a third one starts up, I'll wait and see what's officially announced. I like Depp and Hoffman.
