GONZA Digimation did the sequence for the 20th Anniversary disc. Satelight is doing M0's CG sequences.

A week of silence....RUINED!!!!!

Considering the VF-0's engines.......nope.

First question: Probably. However, if you look at it in fighter mode, if the gunpod was extended in fighter mode, it would stick out a bit. Heck, that gunpod sticks out a bit anyways. 2nd question: Extended. (courtesy of Graham)

Admit it. You know you made a bid on it.

Hate to make this old news but I believe we had a thread on this a bit back....

http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/i/...#ichijyo_hikaru Assignment: SDF-1 Macross, VF-1 Skull Squadron, SDF-2 Megaroad-01, VF-1 Skull Squadron http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/j/...eniusMaximilian Assignment: SDF-1 Macross, Skull Squadron; Algenicus, Dancing Skull; Haruna; Red Moon; New Macross 7, Battle 7 http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/k/...l#KakizakiHayao Assignment: SDF-1 Macross, Skull Squadron

I surprised you haven't been banned already for even suggesting the idea. Probably someone who doesn't get the hint....

Just a note, look at would be the VT-1C's packs in MD7 (or the lineart).

Well, you also have to count for the fact that he's posting/reproducing material on the site. That alone probably causes him enough grief.

The history was rewritten back when M+/M7 was done so I'd hardly call it a contridiction. http://www.anime.net/macross/feedback/index.html The VF-X and the VF-X-1 are still there. What's the problem? http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...1999/index.html The VF-X was the first prototype. The VF-X-1 was the transformable prototype. The VF-0 was the first trial production fighter. To put it in a larger perspective, the VF-0 is the VF-1, minus a few things. It's still a prototype to the VF-1 because it's still a test fighter. Because everybody knows the "Valkyrie". The VF-1 was the first fighter ever to be produced and seen by the public. It is also the first fighter that was mass produced in large quantities. As to be top secret, again, nothing is wrong. The VF-1 was never displayed in it's other modes to the general public. VF-1 series [scheduled to] begin deployment for actual combat. (However, usage is to have been limited to Fighter mode only.) Who are the Mayans' going to tell about this transforming plane? Humm? They are in the middle of the Pacific, isolated from the rest of the world. Not to mention they are quite bound together by their religious beliefs. Their not the only deeply religious people out there in the world who are so deep into their religion that they create stories to explain things. Hell, the top secret thing was used in SDF Macross so it's not new. ... You know what?. Keith or anybody else can handle the rest. I'm not going to waste my time in this thread as it's going nowhere.

Won't it be easier to just point to this thread? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=28&t=2197

That one. Think of the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek.

About Asuka-II. We don't know. It could have. It couldn't have. The same could be said about the Prometheus. It was based at South Ataria so how come it didn't go? There are a lot of ships in the Pacific (the Illustria being another carrier in the Pacific). We really don't know where Asuka-II's home port is. On how many VF-0's there are in a squadron. As many as they could fit? Squadron sizes vary. The VF-1 hierarchy shows as many as 15 fighters to 1 tactical wing. But then you need to include support craft, etc, etc, etc. Then consider that all the VF-0's on Asuka-II are part of Skull.... Not necessarily. There may have just been 4 VF-0S's produced. Those 3 additional VF-0S's may just serve the role that the VF-1J served later. Perhaps Roy felt a higher calling and joined the UN forces instead of the US military, unlike Shin.

There is a shot of the 1A using Strike packs on the 20th Anniversary disc. So I would say Strike packs are more dependent on mission specifics and or squad specifications (Similar to how M16's w/M203 grenade launchers are assigned to squads). Also there are FAST packs which can be used in atmosphere (besides just the leg packs). These can be seen on the VF-11 in M7. Although those are much more streamlined compared to the normal VF-11 FAST packs.

Keith, may I? I don't see how one could compare the VF-2SS with the VF-4 as we don't have specs on the VF-2. In terms of standalone weaponry...without SAPs, the VF-2 is severly handicapped to the VF-4. Cheaper? We're talkin about an oh....70+ year economical gap. I don't see how that works as one being cheaper when the economics of the 2 might not even match. Hell, 10 bucks in the 1920s/30s bought you quite a fancy meal, IRC. But considering that 0083 wasn't Tomino's idea and that the director's chair was switched half-way through the series, I don't see what's wrong with Kawamori at the helm of M0 and M0 being his idea....When you mix other people into the fold, things are bound to be messed up, which is why the UC world is screwed up in places compared to Macross (with the exception of MII). Filling in gaps.....quite true. Let's look at the timeline....Humm....it's quite thin once we get to the 2008 (M0). I don't know about you but there seems to be something missing.

Britai did not leave with Megaroad-01. His ship escorted Megaroad-01 out of the system. His appointment to UNS's chief was in 2016, well after Megaroad-01 left. I highly doubt Britai would be the one to talk to since the Protodevlin were more of a problem for Operations. The chain of command would go to Operations first. In fact, I doubt Britai, after 30 years, would have very little dealings with Operations. BTW, The VF-0 is just called VF-0. No "Phoenix". More money = better designs and less gimmicks. If you look at the control panels of the original series, there were a lot of switches and buttons. The original series wasn't disowned, it was just gimmicky. When we got to DYRL?, things became less gimmicky and more functional. Having a bunch of big "F", "G" and "B" knobs are kinda funky. The DYRL? control set is much more functional than the original series. Same with the flight suits. The flight suits became bulkier to reflect a more functional use. It would be kinda funny if the pilots in Macross wore those tight flight suits....oh Millia did in M7...but even then they fixed the collar/neckpiece. The suits used later in Macross reflect a more functional suit rather than the spandex look. It's a more realistic approach to the designs as to gimmicks.

I agree. I can understand if that scene is going to slow the pace of the theater version (although you don't feel those 3 hours...). If it's going to be saved for the EE DVD, that's even better. Not like I've been buying the theater versions on DVD anyways.

1) Besides the "look-cool" effect, the transformation would increase the arc of fire without having to move the entire ship. Macross had this problem. When transformed, the main cannons only had a 90-degree arc of fire. If the cannons had to fire at a target beyond that arc, the whole ship would have to reposition itself. The New-Macross class accounted for this problem (and many others that plagued Macross). By having the gunship on an arm, they could significantly increase firing arc. The firing arc becomes almost a half sphere (360 by 180 by180, as in they could fire at any point or points in that coordinate range, think 3-D) without moving the ship as opposed to just a 90 degree 2-D arc. 2) Those are Macross 7 Plus! episodes. They are short episodes that were released with the video release of the series. They are meant to fill in story gaps/tidbits not vital to the series but background information and extras to the series.

*Looks at timestamps. Looks at subject* You're awesome Max Jenius! *whistling*

But all them UN boys have short hair...

Who probably heard it from a friend, who probably read it online, on some forum, on some gaming site, from some guy who's on crack, etc, etc,.

Probably allied. The Zola Patrol, for obvious reasons, is just the law enforcement for that planet (and probably the surrounding space). And since the scope of MD7 was quite small (only a coastal town and only limited to Zola's jurisdiction), there really isn't a clear idea.

I think you need to start your own thread because this is an opinionated question and not a Q&A-type question. This thread is only for Q&A and not for debate. Thank you. Come again.

Yes. That's the whole point of primer. Primer is suppose to give a paintable surface to something so that you can paint it. For smaller lesser seen pieces? That's up to you. Half the time I prime the piece, half the time, I don't, especially if it's a joint piece.
