Interesting, but then for what purpose would you want to detach it from the mount?
-
What Is the advantage of having the VF-31 gunpod be attachable as a turret, instead of just being held like other valk models? Seems like a lot of wasted space in the weapon container.
-
Hmm... Tell us more!
-
Actually I'd rather opinions about distributors get their own threads instead of in product threads, but I don't know if that'll ever happen.
-
Well I'm schooled
-
So... an answer for this probably doesn't exist, other than it looks cool, but: Why do Battle class and Quarter class Macross ships use gunpods ("gun ships") instead of integrated main guns like SDF-1? I would assume having an integrated gun allows a lot more of the main reactor energy to channel to the gun. Also - why do those ships transform?
-
This really bugged me too. But I sort of justified it in my head-canon that holding the gunpod allows faster aim but lower power, whereas sticking it on the container makes it sort of an artillery mode with lots of power drawing directly from the fighter's thermonuclear reactors but with poor aim, so the container kinda has a use. Of course this has no basis in any actual source material as far as I know.

I hope some day they do a more sedate deco of the Hs, I'd be all about it.
-
Haven't you been agonizing about this for years now? Just stop already and find a different hobby.
-
I agree, having the weapon pod so broken from the spine was an odd design choice.
-
Do you have to part-swap the flat hands to fit in the wing? EDIT: woops, nevermind, just saw that picture with the newly articulated fingers
-
YES got one!
-
Yeah, the canard placement is really awkward for transforming to/posing in battroid mode.
-
Yesssss me too!
-
Life after Delta - if I could describe in one word, it'd be "deflated". Although if they release a DX VF-22S it would all have been worth it!
-
Yeah I dunno. I'm not a toy engineer but I would think there must be a few better ways to have made that. At least they're not laser swords. Oy.
-
So many moving pieces, tolerance QC for this would be extra important...

Haha, should hold two gunpods and then two more on the turret! -

That's reasonable, but then why have a turret at all if hand-held is better? -

I'm curious why the VF-31's gunpod can detach from the pod and be held, or why you would need to, since it's on a turret mount... -
Yep, my Alto 171 is still in great condition through many many transforms over the years.

I bet there's a terrible reality tv show about kids from Ragna Beach High School. -

I don't think that's necessarily proof that those pinpoint-enhanced attacks are of equal efficacy as a knife pinpoint-enhanced attack. I mean in-universe there must be some sort of advantage, otherwise they wouldn't be a part of military hardware. -

Why? I don't think we've seen proof of this. -

Yep, in the top left drawing, in the rear of the fuselage here, 2 banks of 3 thrusters each: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-25f/vf-25-lineart2.gif You can see it on the DX (v.2.) toy where the shield connects to the back of the fighter.
