Was there some rumor before about a new Trans-shift Armor? I never heard that rumor before, that's what this seems to be dispelling. Just regular phase shift like usual. And Gilbert seems to have some plans under the table already. This might speak volumes. The episode is actually going to air on the 9th. Perahaps there was a rumor running around on a Japanese board (perhaps somewhere in the depths of 2ch's boards) but that was the first time I heard someone mentioning trans-phase on those Gundams. As for Gilbert, if he ain't a ringleader, he a pawn in this game. I'm eager to see how this game of politics turns out. With regards to Neo's mask, he's connected to Mu and Le Creuset, period. That's the obvious part. What that connection is, has yet to be played out.

You gave it 10 minutes? Geez, you didn't even try. Sad....

Unofficial. Most certainly is. But it does tell one where he got his ideas for the add-ons to the VF-0 and SV-51 in episode 5.

Hate to bring up an old nitpick, but why do people still post their avatars to the test forum? The board changes the name of the upload (attachments get a "post-*" prefix while avatars get "av-*" prefix) so that it would not get deleted (without admin intervention). As long as people learn to work with their restrictions (64x64 jpg/gif/swf/png/etc) I don't see a need to keep posting avatars to the test forum.

Since this is the beginning, I expect the car to not be sleek or nice looking. Of what I read back when they were just starting production, they wanted the car to be an urban tank. After they brought in the fact that it was an origin story, I thought that was a very good idea. In the comics, the car followed the same development path, (started big, then went down to a coupe), so this movie's Batmobile made sense. As for the costume....Everything but the mask is fine with me. I didn't like how the ears formed.

The pilots and crew on Asuka II are, for most purposes, considered UN Spacy. Where they came from and such gets moved over to UN jursidiction. This probably done, production-wise, to make it all easier to distinguish who is on which side. Roy could have been USAF, Shin was USN, Katie could have been USMC or which ever Marine Corps of her origin. From which countries' armed forces no longer matter because they all get consolidated under the UN armed-forces banner.

Well, since you happen to be responding to what I said, which was in response to Duke's comment, let me ask, why do you care what I said? Did it affect the topic of that thread? No. People still went on with the topic of the tread. It wasn't until Skull Leader, brought it back up, and then A1 happened to have responded to what I said, did this whole thing pop back up. The thread is still going without anybody needlessly ranting so what's the problem? Every thread is going to have some mindless comments, but instead of telling people to not post if they have nothing to contribute, you could do yourself a favor, save yourself the drama of ranting, and ignore the mindless comments in that thread. It's a double-edge sword. Live with it.

Look at the toy for the YF-21 and compare to the YF-21/VF-22 artwork. Those shoulders magically disappear in the artwork, yet stick out quite well on the toy so you have to wonder how those shoulders work. There are also instances where I've seen the legs thicker than they should be in battroid mode on the VF-22. There really isn't any one particular VF that is proportional because lot of the work is done from a camera POV. With M0, there are times where the VF-0's legs grow and stretch in battroid mode and then look thicker and smaller in fighter mode. The lineart/still images doesn't help either since they are done at a different perspectives. This probably isn't a newbie question since it relies more on opinion than fact.

Well, they are using the same character designer...... Oh yes, and that MA......interesting....wonder why he pilots a MA instead of a MS....

Re-read my answer on page 1. Next. The pilot you play in Macross VF-X 2. It is possible he a decendent of the Focker family. But really, we don't know. No. Keep an eye out for any news in the rest of the forum. Probably moved. Probably rebuilt. Who knows. Who cares? Never say never. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it can't.

Yet completely fan-made. Dislclaimer SW-AG? Don't know. It just refers to the type of energy-converting armor. It's AFOS, not EVOS, not Aphos, not whatever... just AFOS. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...afos/index.html PCS? It describes a type of Protoculture-related signature. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...lops/index.html

Don't you love how misinformation spreads? Start your own thread next time, this is a Q&A thread.

Kinda reminds me of a Gun Barrel... http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-msv/aqme-x04.htm

You haven't seen Earth Defense Family have you?

Look harder. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf1/index.html

Bingo. Much like our war movies and such, they are a dramatization of the actual events. Whether or not they are true is left to those who were there. Define "Kawamorish". The man has done a variety of work so what distinguishes him from others?

Because Mikimoto wanted to age Hikaru a bit more. It was like a "grown-up" look.

Most series are usually (especially the year-long or longer ones) still in production by the time they air. What they probably have at this point is the storyline roadmap (they know it will end but they don't know "how" it will end in detail, the writers are working as we speak). By this point, they should have about 25% of the series animated (if their good, perhaps 1/3) done i.e. production. They should have the first 5-8 eps past post-production or at the end of post-production and ready to air (For the TV stations to map out the broadcast schedule). S.E.E.D. = Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-factor

The show hasn't aired and yet rumors have come which sound like they will be coming from the end of the show (which probably hasn't even been written yet).

You could post in the Destiny thread....... It was said by one of the producers that "Destiny" is a name of a Gundam. It will probably replace Impulse (since it will go to Shin/protagonist) but Impulse's fate is really too early to tell at this point. So this would be a half-rumor at this moment. Too early to tell. Rumor. "Man-in-mask" is usually the big rival. Shin and Neo will probably fight in the end. As for the details of their fight....IIRC, Providence was a tight-lipped secret until what...a week before it made it's first appearence. Anything is possible at this point. (They should be about 1/3 done with the series already) Athrun does steal Savior but I'm not sure about those details and it looks like Athrun gets Savior right at the beginning. This makes it sound a little farther down the road. Kira piloting Buster and an upgraded Freedom...I thought Kira is suppose to be like Amuro in Zeta...We'll see though.

I won't say evil clone yet, but I will say, our masked man most likely has a big connection to Mu/LeCrueset. What that connection may be....we'll see. Although....it could be LeCrueset back from the grave (do a frame-by-frame, Kira actually missed his mark with that beam saber).....

reflex != Macross. Reflex == Robotech. There are no such things as "Reflex" in Macross.

Reflex reactors? Reflex engines? I think you have the wrong group.... I think these are the people you want: http://www.robotech.com Otherwise, read this: http://www.anime.net/macross/

Let the kids have their fun. Most of us old-timers will just sit back and let the kids make fools of themselves.
