Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
aurance replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
If anyone’s seen Delta movie 2, do you know what the Kairos AX’s thermometer cannon does compared to, say, its gunpod? -
Yep. My point being if you had the tech to create an exact duplicate of yourself down to age, you’d most likely be able to generate any age you want to give yourself younger bodies, another sci-fi trope. Macross skips that though, which is interesting. Just big or small.
-
I can tell you as a former (cancer) molecular biologist that what’s happening in micloning isn’t cloning in any modern sense. I don’t think you can match the age of one body to another by telomere length (assuming this is causative and not just a marker of biological age, which is not at all certain) in all cells without some sort of incredibly high resolution magi-tech scanning and printing, and at that point I would assume this tech could make your other host body whatever age you want. So yeah, this is pretty anime fantasy.
-
This overlapping still seems to appear sometimes as if the ship is traveling through some hyperspace-like medium, not a Battlestar Galactica style transposition, which is what I would more expect it to be from your description. (Mac Plus Isamu with fold booster, Sheryl's ship in MacFront, etc)
-
You just remove two screws on the feet and it comes apart, that’s all. No nasty surprises.
-
I opened it up. It’s interesting, the ball joint is metal but the socket has plastic lining that presumably helps with the grip and friction. The Pledge should adhere to the plastic bits so hopefully it’ll go smoothly.
-
Yeah this is just Pledge, I have a big bottle of the stuff and it works well (for plastic joints anyway). I was wondering if anyone had any experience disassembling the feet and any potential issues. I guess I'll just try it.
-
Has anyone tried disassembling VF-25 / 29 / 30 / 31 ankles to tighten up the ball joints? They’re okay but a bit more loose than I would prefer, making balancing tricky. Any tips?
-
Public shoutout to pengbuzz again… second time you’ve rescued my valks from a sad life of staring at the wall in shame. 😝😝 Thank you for your craftsmanship and good humor!
-
Yes. All I’m saying is that the transformation does not plausibly seem to be a requirement of the power rerouting (at least any longer) per se, rather that the rerouting and transformation happen as a necessity of those other advantages that Seto mentioned, for both capital ships and fighters.
-
That doesn’t sound right. Presumably the ships could redirect power at will regardless of shape (unlike SDF-1 where the actual machinery was damaged/missing). Seto’s answers seem much more plausible.
-
Yep, the transformation of all of those are almost identical. (AX has flip out arm covers that the others don’t.) So it’s pretty much personal preference.
-
I wonder if this has drones or missiles in the leg bays. Presumably missiles because no charger? Could be wrong.
-
You’re a true craftsman!
-
You’re the best pengbuzz 🎉

And then on Xmas he’ll show up at each one of our houses and replace all our furniture with YF-21 boxes
-
I’m excited to get a new -29 with all the structural improvements to the toy.
-
Pics…
-
I’m not keen on the non-in-universe logo but a reissue set would be nice! I’d love a -25s, I missed out the first time.
-
Thanks pengbuzz 😊
-
Yeah it’s stuck in there pretty good, I don’t think I can remove it without damaging it. ☹️ Maybe the other piece was missing out of the box and I just didn’t notice until now…
-
I will try, it might be glued 😬
-
Can anyone build for me that small grey cover? It doesn’t even need surface detail. Just to cover that gap behind the right leg. I will pay $50.

Not slider, not in the drone bay
