Actually the VF-9 has a couple of big ass lasers mounted on the right shoulder for battroid and gerwalk, roughly where the lasers would be on the VF-1 on fighter mode. 342562[/snapback] You're right, forgot about those. I take that back then, ALL VFs have integrated weaponry.

Fine, I'll try to put this thread back on track with my favorite scenes. Silvie's bouncing boobs was a interesting scene. The Metal Siren's attack in episode 5 was good fast-paced scene. The slow-paning shots of Ishtar's body as well. That's all I can think of.

With those deleted scenes, Lucas was trying to keep the focus on Anakin. Those scenes would have been good for backstory but it would have moved away from Anakin. Maybe he'll bring them back in the Prequel Special Edition.

Yeh...

The last thing I would want in a Macross series is a remake of another Macross story....

They might have collapsed the shield for display. Well, they're going with the colors from the movie. And those are a bit brighter than the anime version. But recoloring it is completely up to you. http://www.z-gundam.net/ms/aeug.html#1

Not another game-to-movie.... Even with Jackson coming on as producer for Halo....I'm not really impressed.

Animation error. Those shots were coming from the cannons in the wing root. Just because you don't see it in action, doesn't mean it's not there. Actually, that was a leftover Monster that was used to test the penetration of the experimental arm-block cannon. Ask and ye shall receive. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...yf19/index.html JB0...you can deal with him. Oh, and JB0...you are correct. Almost every VF (that we have seen) has had some integrated weaponry. From a little head-laser to arm-mounted beam cannons to integrated missile hardpoints. The only one that comes to mind that doesn't contain any is the VF-9. However, we don't have many specs on that craft, so we can only speculate at best with just the VF-9.

They never disavowed it. Studio Nue never worked on it so really, there's nothing to disavow. They set it in a parallel world like the non-UC Gundam since Studio Nue never worked on it. Mikimoto doesn't count as being part of Studio Nue since he left the group in 1980 and joined Artland. Studio Nue still recognizes it as Macross and that it was done, but it's not part of the official timeline of the series. As the character designer, Mikimoto just does designs and still-art. He doesn't animate. It is the job of the animators to take his designs and put them on screen.

Yeah, I think that question kinda steps over the line. Big time. Like, there's this barrier of common decency right? This guy went through it. Doubled back. Went through it again, and just kept on going. 340424[/snapback] This guy is either some horny teenage pervoid or a 30-or more-something who got stuck at puberty. 340425[/snapback] and should be neutered 340428[/snapback] As I said, it's a tongue-and-cheek question. I don't expect it to be acknowledge...let alone answered....

Those pics are hosted off-site. You are using the "img" tags to post those pics. Those are all attachments. Image attachments are automatically set to generate thumbnails for those attachments. As I said, thumbnail pics are generated when the image is uploaded as an attachment. Images that posted from an off-site location use "img" tags. If you want to not attach a bunch of images in your post but want to post thumbs, use a image hosting service. Most generate a thumbnail pics and provide you with forum "img" posting code.

Which post in particular are you talking about? The forum software automatically generates a thumbnail pic for all attachments. The alternative is using a image hosting service which also generates a thumbnail for posting in forums.

Thankfully, that's not the majority of questions being asked (there are some more intelligent ones). Here are some of those questions will probably get the tongue-&-cheek response. Like this: You have to remember, many people will continue to see Macross through Robotech's eyes. It's all about mechs. When they will see beyond that...well, that's not for you or me to say.

I sense a vergence in the Force.....centered around this announcement...

That doesn't really help. All you are doing is replacing a long thread with a short thread, so of course the forums load faster...it has less to grab from the database. When you perform a search, the search still has to dig through long and short threads regardless and will end up searchig and returning more threads and be slower on average (you would not notice the speed since computers are fast anyways, but given test conditions and such, then you would notice).

As I said prototypes. They will probably end up doing the same for the Murasame as they did with Zeta. It's not gonna be a perfect variable, you'll need to swap parts. Anyways...it's a 1/144... You can't expect much.

Reading and reading comprehension is one issue... Another would be that people don't like to read and watch the screen at the same time. People have trouble processing information like that. One thing I might ask how close to your screen are you? Some shows flash a banner saying "Please watch at a proper distance and in a well lit area." Sometimes, sitting too close, you move your head around to capture the entire image. This is where a dub would come in. And to bring this up a level Roy...people are lazy. Not that they don't want to read or can't read, but they don't want to make the effort. They say "I don't know what their saying so I'll just listen to the dub. It's easier." People don't want to make an effort to read as they watch. They don't want to listen to the original voice and feel the tone of voice used in the original product because of the language barrier. They don't want to read and watch at the same time. They want to focus their attention on the image, i.e. they can't process the all the input. They want the quick and easy way out. Look at how many times people at almost every forum you go to have said, "Use the search button." Think about that and look at our dub vs. sub situation.

Hate to break it to all of you but this is indeed the TV-rip from the Bandai Channel. This is not the DVD. The lower right-hand corner has the BC logo.

We don't know. Yeah, that sounds about right. It would have to since there's no air....unless it has different kind of engine.

Can you PM the link to me? There is a raw floating out there right now. It's a TV-rip from the Bandai Channel. The DVD doesn't come out till 10/28 (Friday).

Well, it is a prototype. In any case, I'm not getting it. Not a fan of 1/144s. Too small....

Yes, they are fusion, but the yield is much greater than our modern tests with fusion so it's not quite fusion. It's intentionally mentioned that way by the creators. But we can leave it as fusion for clarity's sake. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...tion/index.html The reactor would explode...but the yield is really too small to be a like that of a nuke. The reactor would overheat and burn and then as stated, the pressure would be the source of the explosion.

Super? No. Armored? Yes.

Won't know.... You can make it as painless or as hard as you want. http://www.videohelp.com

Well isn't ADV lucky..... I just prefer to watch any show in the language it was originally made in, be it Japanese, Chinese, Russian, French, Indian, whatever. Dubbing takes out some of the feeling that the original acting had put in. Whether it be lost in translation or lack of skill, the original setting is what I prefer. I could care less if it was dubbed.
