VF5SS

He calls me mean things.

Pretty sure it was just a limited budget and less inventive choreography.

The Ride-Armor battles were really the better parts of the show. You only see a good robot fight maybe once or twice.

That only works if you assume mind control is easier than physical control and a reactionary robot. We have robots that react to external stimulus already. For example, DARPA's robotic mule can react accordingly when kicked in the side. A VF-1 is sufficiently advanced to be a large, standing machine with some kind of reactionary control system like when the VF-1D fired its backpack thruster to attempt to stay standing or when Shin VF-0D is tackled and it tries to defend itself. Like I said, these are things we can accomplished now without mind control. Also the prospect of mind control is completely unrelated anyway. Because it was a poorly researched idea that people were taking as fact about a show they were interested in.

Are you saying a mind interface is basic? The mind can be a very chaotic thing. Everyone's mind works a little differently and often times there's strange impulses and background noise. Can the brain figure out how to work with a complex machine as an extension of its body? Maybe yes or maybe no. It certainly isn't basic. Is it really? You can already make the robot run forward and you've got a way to make it jump right? It even has a way to control the pitch in robot mode like when the machine is flying about. Just run and make a little hop while pitching the robot downward so that it's shoulders strike the ground. It rolls a little due to momentum and either by letting it try to stand automatically or telling it to stand the robot ends up doing a little somersault to follow your commands. The robot is already show to be capable of coordinating its body to aim it's gun where you want it to. Zero and Frontier have suggested there's some eye tracking involved but even a joystick could move the reticule manually. You just have to know what you want to do and how the machine will react. Other shows like Patlabor get into this a little more. The machine itself learns to work with its pilot to the point where they may become inseparable. Maybe it's a little different in Macross, but the idea is very similar. Really, it's the idea of having an intelligent machine that follows what you want it to do, but takes its own way to do it. That's why the background material says all the Valkyries have SUPER AI or BATTROID CONTROL SYSTEM. It's just how you abstract a complex weapon to something familiar.

Because a sufficiently advanced robot should be able to abstract its motions down to something a person can control. Even real life vehicles abstract much of the mechanics of how they move down to something we can grasp. Ask a spider how to design a car and it'll probably be very different.

Those guys need to try again with those 3d models. Try being a little more creative than just making crappier renditions of the existing designs. If the designs were truly different then we can see if Robotech's story can stand on its own.

Are you guys going to buy and customize the YF-10 and YF-11 figures just like you used to do on 1/55 bootlegs?

you seem to have a fixation

it needs to come with that truck Ray would cart the Fire Valkyrie away with.

Ff course, this is no more derivative than Macross Frontier.

the integrity of my singing robot show is in jeopardy

At Colony Drop they blamed all the problems of the movie on Kawamori because Ishiguro has never made anything badly paced. Except Orguss which has no Kawamori.

who is gonna fansub it

Let's celebrate robotech

I'm pretty sure that's just because everyone here is posting on /m/

Hi I am a foreign buyer knowingly purchasing a toy with problems even though buying it through the gray market excludes me from the warranty. And I must buy more.

Lol those idiots quoted me at RT.com. And completely misinterpreted what I said. c'est la vie

did anyone notice Flower Girl is inside the train she's obsessed

Kawamori did a lot of the story boarding for Macross all the way through Frontier. He's still involved with it.

I uploaded a better clip of the Totsugeki Acoustic Love Heart is this on any CD?

The beauty of fast posting!

This looks vaguely familiar.

That's debatable. There's too many factors involved to cite those terribad hackjobs as being essential.

There's really nothing more than can be said. There should have been a transitional step to get everyone into Macross and off of Robotech. Instead they made comics that only Robotech fans read and novels that only Robotech fans read and a movie that only Robotech fans buy. Robotech is obsolete.
