Why do they wait so long to release a Macross Series?
eugimon replied to leading edge's topic in Movies and TV Series
if only there were a series about valkyrie pilots who race each other in souped-up valkyries... and it would be cool if there could be valkyries from every show.. even custom versions of the vf-0 and sv-51! That would be really cool. Too bad something like that will never, ever happen. ever. -
the problem is, I don't like any of the designs to pay 50$ plus shipping. I like bulkhead a lot at 20$... not so much at $80.

Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie
eugimon replied to UN Spacy's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
leg is okay, not great but okay. The wing engine nacelles could use a better joint though. -
Okay, well you're going to have to get Mr. March to update his MII information then! But yeah, I accept that MII and the mainline have pretty divergent evolutionary paths for how the technology advances... I'm just saying that given there's 30+ years between when frontier takes place and when MII takes place, it's a little premature to say that the mainline is lagging.

So, okay, but going back to the original idea that the mainline valks are behind the MII valks in terms of firepower. mainline valks have integrated offensive beam weapons, integrated missile delivery systems as well as PPB systems. And yeah, at 2059 their railgun tech isn't as advanced as the MII rail guns in 2089... I still don't see how that means that mainline valk weapons are behind the curve set by MII. I mean, if you compare what the yf-29 is packing versus what the metal siren is packing, the 29 has far more unique weapon system... a heavy beam gunpod, two machine guns, the head mounted lasers, two beam cannons, the micro-missile launchers, the PPB knife... versus the MS's two gunpods and the two lasers...

I didn't say they were beam gunpods just that it had beam weapons. And while they weren't anything new, prior to the 21, beam weapons were nearly always limited in their usage while the 21 is shown using its beam weapons as a primary offensive weapon. How long is the vf-2ss in fighter mode? I ask because MMM lists the vf-2ss as 14m in battroid while the yf-21 is 15.5m in battroid.

Well, the yf-21 is sporting beam weapons in 2039 as well and the main continuity valks have a much wider variety of built in weapon systems including internal missile bays that the vf-2 lacks without it's SAP system

I wouldn't say that the mainline continuity is lagging behind MII in terms of weaponry. By 2059, the NUNS is fielding rail gun gunpods and beam weapon gunpods, they still have another 30 years to catch up with MII's, "my gun is so big that I need to have a blast shield for my face", weapons.

Okay... I don't see how the vf-2 is anything other than an antithetical derivative of the vf-1... but okay, sure, it's both the predecessor and the decedent to the vf-11.... okay...
-
sooo... you're saying all those random bits actually serve a purpose to open up a rift in space and time and send the vf-2 to the past where it gets reverse engineered into yf-19??? That would actually be better than the real plot to MII
-
it also needs more random bits hanging off it. Sure, it's got that one big ventral fin that does nothing and those boxes that the tail fins sit on top of that also do nothing and sure it has that face flap for its big ass gun, and sure, it has a CB antenna but l just feel like there's some more stuff that could be added.

soooo.... what does this have to with science fiction?
-
well, the toy has feet... so right there, that's kind of a big difference.

obviously they wait because they hate us and our tears nourish their evil black souls. -
Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
eugimon replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
AND hasbro/takara did it for, what, $12??? Man, yamatos are SO overpriced and they look nothing like the anime. -
I had shabu shabu for the chinese new years dinner. I know, I know, I'm not even chinese but my wife is so we still celebrate it.
-
actually, I half thought yamato and kawamori would have just retconned the feet into a more conventional design and ditched the flipper foot altogether. Personally, not going to get too worked up about line art comparisons as there doesn't seem to be a lot of really refined line art for the vf-4 anyways.

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
eugimon replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I still can't believe yamato made the vf-1 some sort of swing wing f-14 knock off when everyone *knows* that the vf-1 looked like a high tech bi-plane in the show. Thank god for Transformers Ransack, we can finally have an accurate vf-1! -

Scott speedman is not dead and has said he would not reprise the Michael role but some other interview with a producer or somebody said that the idea is to bring Scott back for underworld 5. So who knows.
