Dobber scheme 19? Low vis version 1 19? Stealth 19? I swear if I miss out on the hlj pre-order (or worse, they cancel it on me because they took too many pre-orders), I'm going to blow a blood vessel.
-
Hot damn, I have to pre-order the 19. I don't want to have to scramble like I did with the Loz Vis v1! Guess I'll live with it covered with "25th anniversary". It could have been worse, and I'm sure it'll grow on me.

Macross 25th Anniversary and upcoming new TV series thread
Sumdumgai replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
For technology in MF for the valkyries, the wrap around holographic display system of the 19 would likely be standard issue. I doubt there will be BCS or BDI incorporated in anything except for some kind of special operations valkyrie. I don't know about omni-directional barriers, but I'm sure there will be larger pin-point barriers in use. I wouldn't be surprised if the newest generation of valkyries incorporate some kind of optical camouflage in addition to upped stealth capabilities (with limitations of course, since it's probably still new technology). Man, I'm looking forward to Yoko Kanno's music. That's a pleasant surprise to have her return to the Macross Universe. -
You can't beat him, he's Boba Fett, the greatest bounty hunter ever! *Ah du-du-du-du-du* Good luck going after bounties with him around. However, he tends to contract out to the Empire. Putting criminals behind bars, for a safe and secure society. At least the Empire pays bounties and rewards without any lip, like drugged out terrorist princesses that claim her people are peaceful, despite having been caught riding in a flying fortress bristling with blasters.

If this thing has 0 QC problems, I'll be celebrating with the rest of you. Especially thinking of the possibility of Yamato doing a Dobber SV-51!

Oh ho! So definitely what Graham speaks of in his sig is not: VA-3 Fuel/air bomb for the SV-51 Monster (any variant, including omgwtfCLAW) VF-11 YF-19 Stealth VF-0D Another type of Foldildo (Dante's guess and a good one at that ) Reactive Armor VF-11B Pink Pecker Squad SDF-1 Macross (TV version as Mog has pointed out) Minmay Doll That Graham has plans on (Exo's guess ) Octos I'm going to hazard a guess on the VF-17, Macross 13 (just watch the cutscene with it, that definitely applies to "saturation penetration"), or a 1/60 VF-1 re-do (saturation because there's so many damned VF-1s on the market, and penetration because BOHEICA/"Bend Over Here It Comes Again!"). Keeping a list of what's being guessed as of me writing this: VF-17 Macross 13 1/60 VF-1 re-do Stampede valkyrie (VF-1 or VF-11 wasn't specified) VF-22 I asked a friend who's a doujin artist, who's watched some Macross but isn't into it like me, what they thought "saturation penetration" could apply to. The only thing she could think of was "Minmay's vagina". No, I'm not putting that one up as a guess. addition: the VF-0 reactive armor wasn't announced, but it was guessed in this thread already. edit: clarified as Mog pointed out.

I like these two designs. I just don't like the line markings on the nose and over the air-brake area. You know, the concept sketches of the new Macross Frontier valkyrie from a while back (that Kawamori interview article), they really reminds me of the SW-XAI. One of the battroids reminds me of the SW-XAII the way it's set up.
-
A thought occurred to me. Maybe it's the octos Anti-UN destroid-ish thingy. It goes in the water, it penetrates lots of stuff with its armament. ..
-
Graham you sure know how to tease us and get us worked up. High speed, low drag, hell yeah!

I'm with uxi and scream man, in wanting some 1/60 perfect transformation VF-1(x) valkyries, incorporating all that Yamato has learned up to this point (like not to make the flaps on the wings moveable ). However, I am not ready for them to redo them yet. I want some non-VF-1 stuff for a bit. I would also hope that the price point would be much lower than the more recent releases. I can't remember if the VF-11B in VFX2 had the M+ gunpod or the M7 gunpod... Because I like both series' gunpods.

Hey, if you have to buy a bunch of stuff to get the parts, they can also give the option of... THE MONSTER WITH CLAW! OMGWTFCLAW!

Macross 25th Anniversary and upcoming new TV series thread
Sumdumgai replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I doubt the city was deserted. I mean they ran/slid/glided through some boulevards, and an intersection or two, all while stepping on cars and busses. I just figure it was cheaper to animate the battle sequences without having a buttload of extra moving things to handle in the background, like cars and little squishy people. As for Isamu getting off the hook. I figure he got in deep trouble, but not buried up to his neck in s$%t due to saving the day. I'm willing to bet that UN Spacy covered up a lot of stuff. Hell, they could have written off the YF-21 as having been stolen by Anti-UN Spacy forces, with the 19 sent to intercept. -

Aliens Vs. Predator 2 Script and Movie Review
Sumdumgai replied to bsu legato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I love and hate trailers. Love because the trailers either make me want to see the movie, or avoid it like the plague. Hate, because if I want to see the movie, they usually show so many important scenes that you wait to see them in the movie. Kind of spoiler-ish. I'm waiting for another trailer, and some reviews. Maybe this will turn out like transformers, and be not-that-bad after all. -
RoboCop: 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition
Sumdumgai replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Funny, I was just thinking about Robocop today and went to watch the opening of the first cartoon on youtube, since I remember watching it as a kid... And being horribly disappointed that Robocop didn't kill anyone like he did in the movie. Much like how I was disappointed that Beetlejuice was a hero-ish character with bad sides in that cartoon incarnation. -
Black Q-rau. Hell they have the molds, all they'd have to do is make it black plastic with gold trim. Although to be honest, I already have one Q-rau, I don't need anymore, and it's not as cool as having a repaint of a valkyrie. A black Q-rau would be cool though...

Rebel propaganda. The final battle didn't really happen at Endor, and it wasn't ewoks they were up against. It was at Kashyyk, and it was against those giant poo covered walking rugs that like to tear limbs off and hit people with them. The rebel terrorists will try to convince anyone of anything! Besides look at Leia. She's obviously a drug addict, hooked on Solo's smuggled goods. She became totally wasted after hooking up with that drug dealer! It's also unfortunate that STAR Destroyers are named so, a name widely abused by the rebel terrorists. They're actually Space Trash and Rubbish Destroyers. Keeping your galaxy clean of space litter and rubbish. The stormtroopers did an excellent job at apprehending Princess Leia aboard the terrorist blockade runner (diplomatic mission, no weapons, yeah right), and stopping her crew of violent thugs. Over the DEATH Star, imperial pilots took down x-wing after x-wing after x-wing, with no shields at that.

I thought the flier had the release date for December...

Macross 25th Anniversary and upcoming new TV series thread
Sumdumgai replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I certainly hope there won't be anything stupid like the Megaroad 01 got sucked through a black hole, went back in time and they became the protoculture. Or worse, the space time shift is causing the MII universe to merge with the cannon Macross universe. Ick. -
The rebel terrorist group claims to be equal opportunity, but let's face the truth. Whenever there's a perilous mission where someone is likely to be killed, who do they send? Non-humans, in particular bothans. And most of their jedihadist leaders are human, with the token trophy non-human general like Akbar. The rebel terrorists are composed of pedophiles, drug dealers, assassins, thieves, murderers, con-men, and hardcore fanatics of an ancient religion that preaches genocide upon their enemy the sith. Under the empire, overall crime rates dropped and there was peace in the galaxy. Then rebel terrorist propaganda spread tales of widespread discontent, to attempt to brainwash the contented population to their diabolic cause!

For the SV-51, wait and see how things turn out. The SV-51 could turn out like the YF-19 and have minimal problems. I just realized I never put the pitot tube on my VF-0A because I didn't want to lose it. I forgot that it had one. While I did leave my VF-0A in fighter most of the time, it's sad to not be able to transform it and be able to pose it. And I don't want to pay 1/3 the price of a whole valkyrie for replacement arms.

Ah but stormtroopers can't aim worth poo when it's against heros, it's against the laws of the universe , set-up a long time ago in a galaxy far far away post clone wars. The brand new galactic empire's clonetroopers did a pretty damned good job in wiping out the jedi according to the movie (not the comics, where every other pedo-jedi and their stockholmed victim survived and went into hiding), shooting accurately as infantry, as artillery, and as pilots. And on a plus side the Emperor took down three jedi masters in under ten seconds, toyed with Mace Windu, and owned Yoda. A leader that's not only cunning, but powerful. The way an emperor should be.
-
I originally didn't like the stealth VF-1A. But I'm liking it now. I kind of wish I didn't pass up on one now. Well, now I'm saving up for non-VF-1 valkyries. I have too many already.

Tamashi spec Eva-01 Synchro rate of 400%
Sumdumgai replied to Swoosh's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's because Evas are anorexic. Not enough meat or calcium. You guys play too roughly with those girls. -
Empire. They had Clonetroopers, then they went to Stormtroopers. I like the whole totalitarian iron fist thing. Terrorists want to f&*k with the empire? Blow their planet up. Anarchists using a protest rally to cause trouble? Land a shuttle on the crowd. Considering that the Rebel Alliance is a terrorist organization, although the leaders might have high and mighty goals, you have to wonder about the personal gains and the sub-commanders. "Senator Organa says go blow up the Imperial Spaceport using bothans and wookies." Besides the Empire has Sith. They choose to use force powers for awesome, not good.
