3-11-07 (8:59PM EDT)---- Latest Macross Animation To Be Announced At Tokyo Anime Fair 2007 Animation production company Satelight will host a Macross 25th Anniversary booth at the Tokyo Anime Fair to be held in 2 weeks in Japan. Plans are to formally announce the new work at the event. ANS was the first English source to break news on the new Macross way back on February 5th, the news was then confirmed by Victor and through a revamp at the official website this past week. Edit: forgot link

Princesse de Soleil would be Princess of Sun i believe Princesse de Rayons de Soleil would be Princess of Sunshine but it doesn't sound to good. edit: Macross73 beat me to the punch.

For one thing the new songs in Mac 2 would have been sung almost 40 years earlier in Mac 7.

Yamato gets my vote I have been happy with most of their toys.

Not happening, new vocal talent would not be needed. I don't understand why anybody would want to see SDF Macross re-made. It was a great series in its time and still remains great, a re-telling would only diminish it. I also do not want to see Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay again. If you think about it there isn't much more they could do with that story, and in a lot of ways I think what they might do with them would be a travesty to the characters.

If they want to have it out for the 25th anniversary it will need to be out by the end of the year, which is possible since I believe the applications for the audition weren't being accepted after the end of March.

With the description being idol singer/heroine, I would believe it is some sort of animation and not just a CD. New series? New OVA? New movie? New video game? These all fit the bill for a heroine, music CD doesn't make much since with that descriptor.

Yes Let the speculation begin.

Makes me think of the Saab Draken.

That is Kamjin, that attacks Roy.

Not supposed to be there. The animators used an early draft for the VF-11. See the Macross Compendium What I don't understand is why the VF-11 is so downgraded on weapons without using FAST packs. Only a gunpod and anti-aircraft laser without an attachment. The VF-5000 has internal micro launchers and comes before the VF-11 in chronology. The compendium doesn't even list wing hardpoints. I love this valkyrie but it needs something more.

Mr March there are a couple of things I noticed - 1. The head lasers on Max and Millia' VF-1J are supposed to be blue and red as in the pic below. I kind of like the gray head lasers that you have, but if you want canon lineart colors it would be the way the anime shows them. 2. The black triangular things are lights that are supposed to be blue and red see pic below.

1st choice would be a new valk 2nd choice VF-5000 3rd choice VF-22

Yeah that rank progression is kind of strange in the compendium. Unless Max goes from Captain to LT. Colonel then to Colonel then demoted to Major. I doubt that though, probably a typo or a translation problem.

Read this and you will learn much about the difference.

You can go here to pull the .flv file, then get an FLV player or software to convert it. You just need to cut and paste the url and the site will grab it for you. Of course if someone knows the person who posted it to youtube we could have a higher quality version.

Awesome

My YF-19 just showed up at my door today. Can't wait to transform this guy, I'm hoping it doesn't explode into a bunch of pieces.

Here it is, the grey is kind of weird.

Still haven't got mine yet. I'm starting to think that this may remain in fighter mode for its lifetime. These QC issues are scary to say the least. I do not want to break my 19 right out of the box.

I still have my RT Hovertank and my RT Destroids. Back to the SV-51. Graham states in his update that the SV-51 is never shown standing. I disagree, Nora smacks the gunpod out of Shin's busted up GERWALK, in battroid mode before Roy comes and chases her away. It is clearly shown standing on the ground.

Alright to put the record straight, the mecha from Southern Cross and Mospeada are much smaller than the Macross mecha with the exception of the Tread. Size in meters: (all in battroid mode) VF-1 12.68m Spartas (hovertank) 6.18m Auroran (AJAX) 8.9m Legioss 8.75m Tread 13.70m VF-19S 15.48m VF-11 12.92m VF-0 nothing official that i've seen but best guess would be about 17m VF-17D 15.18m SV-51 nothing official that i've seen but best guess would be about 18.5m - 19.5m

A 1/60 scale hovertank in robot mode would only be 4 inches tall

No he is Dr. Bashir from DeepSpace Nine. Click Here
