    I'm rewatching Macross 7, and the episodes depicting the Macross 5 fleet landing on Planet Lux raised some questions. It seems clear that Macross 7 fleet has one and only one Battle/City combined ship. The shot of the Macross 5 fleet touching down on Lux shows show 3 Battle/City combined ships landing. Does this establish that fleets can have multiple Macross class ships or is it an animation error?

    I've always wanted to do Macross as a tabletop wargame. I'm not going to attempt the abortive Palladium game or the pricey Dogfights games. But I'm thinking a;most every wargamer knows Battletech. Surely in the last almost 40 years somebody has written up the Macross mecha for Battletech and shared them? Not as as far as I can tell. I thought I'd ask here before I go down the road of shoehorning the main mecha in the Battletech ruleset. And yes I'm well aware most of the Macross mecha were used in the original "Battledroids" game (as well as Fang of the Sun Dougram and Crusher Joe). But they were based only on their appearance not their in universe capabilities. There are other mecha rulesets I could use, but as I said, most wargamers know how to play Battletech already. Cheers!

    OMG. I've been living this nightmare for 30 years now. I'm not sure I can believe HG are finally going to get the boot. I do have a tangential question about Macross/HG/Battletech. Why have the rights holders for Fang of the Sun Dougram never sued Battletech/FASA for using a bunch of their designs in Battletech? There were about as many FSD designs as Macross mecha (and one from Crusher Joe) in the first iteration of the game ("BattleDroids") and they never became "unseen" IIRC.

    The Yamato Garland was cool until the shoulders disintegrated. I was planning on designing and printing 3d replacements but never got around to it. Has anyone been able to source replacement shoulders for the original Yamato edition?

    Hi MW gang. The news of Macross Δ has me interested again in our favorite anime franchise. I'll be watching for fansubs in the new year.

    Go. Tell the Spartans.... L to R. Matchbox, Takatoku? Dark Horse Miniatures (80s), New Robotech RRT, Battletech.

    Hey MechTech. I guess I can leave the 1/200 on the shelf and paint up these new ones. I could never source enough 1/200 Regults. Do you have a full load of Destroids for the Daedalus?

    In cased you missed the posts over the gaming forum, Robotech RPG Tactics has finally shipped (DEC 2014). It's called Robotech but it's only based on the good part - the 'Macross Saga'! The models have many pieces for such a small scale but build up quite nicely. Google "RRT" or Robotech RPG Tactics for pics. The first series of kits includes, the VF-1 fighter, gerwalk & battloid, Spartan, Phalanx, Tomahawk, Defender, Glaug, Regult, Missle Regult, Scout Regult, and Quel-Gulnau Recovery Pod (first time as a production model I believe).

    There are some very nice models stating to show up over on the Facebook group:

    I've started building with a Phalanx. Mostly so I can line it up with my 1/00 Matchbox "Spartan", 1/44 Takatoku Phalanx, 1/200 Dark Horse RT:RPG "Spartan", 1/285 Battletech WTF ever they called it and have five versions in a row. Pics when it happens. Palladium will sell a few of these 1/285 "kits" to Battletech players. I think it was a poor business decision to invest in the tooling for these 1/285 "kits". Plastic kit building hasn't been a popular hobby since I dunno, the 80s? They would have been better emulating a modern success like the pre-painted X-WIng. I would have dropped 10x the $$ if they had sourced the 1/200 gashapon instead of doing all the tooling

    I received my Robotech RPG Tactics shipment today. I now have a surfeit of mecha in 1/285 scale. https://www.google.ca/search?q=Robotech+RPG+Tactics&rlz=1C1LENP_enCA507CA507&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=595&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JbN2VM6AKsn1iQKhh4GoBg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

    It's 2013. Everybody know Supermans origin story. Why not do something like All-Star Superman that tells a new story while paying tribute to the 80 years of super history?

    I've tried to e-mail Yamato USA several times about this and gotten no reply. I don't think there is any hope of replacement parts. Here is the site of failure on my Garland: Even with if it was made with better plastic it's a poorly engineered joint.

    I'm merely saying Enterprise is the only TV series that takes place before the "Kelvin" incident that launches the alternate timeline. But you are correct, ST 2009 negates the most interesting part of Enterprise that ties it to TOS. I agree that, for the future, the only way to enjoy Star Trek is the Captain Harlock Method .
  15. DestroidDefender
    On the other hand though, a lot of fans hated Enterprise and probably never watched it long enough to see his episode. That's Ironic because Enterprise is the only Trek TV that's still in continuity in the J.J-verse
