    Is there a picture of this camel mech? Or was it just text descriptions.
  2. aurance
    Oh that's interesting, this model has the same size/shape of canards and fold crystal housing as the Siegfried rather than stock Kairos, I'm sure it was just an oversight but still neat.
  3. aurance
    Haha, now I'm demanding that the next VF be made of gold and called the Money Pit.

    Do you think it’s possible that the drone charger housing on VF-31 can contain ECM or sensor module or something instead of a drone charger? It would nicely explain why so many 31s are flying around with what look like chargers and not carrying drones or hang around Walkure.

    Thank you borgified.

    Cool, thank you. 1) Is there any explanation in-universe for why they fire huge swarms of missiles? Is it because of shitty guidance systems or amazing missile countermeasures or both? 2) In a related vein to our discussion above, is there an in-universe explanation for why the base model VF-11 was so minimally armed vs. some of the others with more comprehensive weapons packages built in?

    I don’t suppose anyone knows a good way to stiffen up the ball joint ankles?

    I think you're right, I compared the game footage of GERWALK firing with the containers up, and container down, and both seem to be depleting from the same "gauge".
  9. aurance
    Sure, but it doesn't really conclusively support your assertion either that the thing is comparatively lightly armed. And wherever the information from Macross Mecha Manual came from, also says there are hardpoints. I really appreciate your knowledge (I always look forward to reading your responses!) but sometimes I think you make some definitive statements based on suggestive evidence when the conclusions allow for a fair bit more leeway.

    So in Macross 30 the YF-30 sometimes appears to shoot missiles from around its legs(?) without deploying its container, and they seem a different type ( https://youtu.be/yUiwsQrb-Vk 5:00 as an example). Does it have another missile bay, or is it just video game artistic license?

    I'm with Jenius, I definitely think the Minmei et al. stories are nicely finished, but I'd love to see another fleet from that era, classic mecha with modern CGI. VF-1's of course but I'd love a more star treatment of VF-4's and VF-5000's.

    Ahh, I picked mine up after about 3 years of standing still in battroid mode, and its legs are like noodles, haha. The ball joints in the feet are quite bad. Surprisingly the nose still doesn't droop at all without a bracket.

    Actually looking at my YF-30 toy it seems like it has the hard points to carry those missiles just as easily...
  14. aurance
    Yeah okay but how cool is Rick Hunter JUST KIDDING DON’T HURT ME!
  15. aurance
    Ahh, hard points. Gotcha.
  16. aurance
    I suppose so, but compared to, say a VF-25 it's between its hip guns vs the extra power of a heavy quantum beam rifle. Seems kind of like a wash to me. I guess I always forget about the knife.
  17. aurance
    Yeah, it definitely helps to know *how* a certain VF is specialized for something. The Sv-262 thing is logical. Did they think there was some combat advantage to that weird transformation, or was it just aesthetics (in-universe of course)?
  18. aurance
    Couple things. 1) I think the YF-29 has been described as an example of “crippling overspecialization” elsewhere on the topic. But not knowing exactly which of its enhancements are conducive to fighting vajra and how, can we really say that definitively? At first glance its specs and weapons make it just fine for killing VFs and most other roles. 2) YF-30 is described as “lightly armed.” But is that really the case comparatively? Even without the ordinance container it had a heavy quantum beam gun and head lasers, which seems like fairly normal equipment for a lot of “standard” valks.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yes exactly that. Thank you, it looks fine, just checking that I did it correctly.

    When you fold the arms forward, are the hinged shoulder parts behind the canard supposed to sit flush instead of having a gap? I don’t want to force it.
  21. aurance
    How do gun pods go from fighter to hands? Magnets? Magic?
  22. aurance
    This is just really really cool stuff.
  23. aurance
    That’s just a mirror photoshop for the most part.
  24. aurance
    You know what, I really like it as it is (still gonna buy the heck out of this thing), but I do agree your changes would make it nicer.
  25. aurance
    I’ll paint out Guld’s eyeballs.
