Me sees guns on the cheeks on our 25J's head camera. Is me seeing things, Sir?

Wow... for a bunch of Macrossoid Otaku, you guys seriously lack of something for ST topics... Read that as: I thought we was talking about Snore Trek? anyway, DiTL, Ex Astris Scientia and a few others are very good sites to smuggle ST cannon and speculative info. Certainly EAS with all the various indepth reviews of battles (especially Wolf 359) discussed over the years. Sci Fi Flare is also a good forum for ST topics over the years... http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/ http://flare.solareclipse.net/cgi2/ultimatebb.cgi No go play nice on the Freeway!

/me Drives the Topic Bus back into oncoming traffic... I want to know (The Game!tm) 1) Does the current VF's of SDFM:F's ear have PPB? have internal Fold capabilty? 2) Is there a fortress style Macross ship in the fleet? 3) what are the odds of this Macross IP having legal issues as far as overseas marketing? any potentional wranglings related to previous legal crap? /me blinks

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Maguire-Pil...otech-6290.html with 15 pages of comments, i'm sure someone put a link up for this already but... "For those who don’t already know, Robotech is another one of those giant robot franchises lurking out there waiting to pick up Transformers’ scraps. Except unlike Transformers, the giant robots in Robotech are more like fighting vehicles, piloted by humans in a distant future where man must use giant robots to fight off an alien invasion. It’s kind of like the poor man’s Mechwarrior. Like Transformers, Robotech was a cartoon in 80s. It originated in Japan, but was re-edited and re-aired in the United States. Unlike Transformers, it was never very successful. The show was watched only by a few hardcore geeks, and the subsequent role playing games, comics, toys and ancillary Robotech products it generated were loved only by a few niche fans. It just doesn’t have the built in American audience that Optimus Prime, or even other giant robot franchises like Voltron have." now, questions? Sounds like he's bashing Robowrech (if so, i'll hand him a bigger hammer) if he think's it's just another GRF... do that mean he thinks CBT is better than Robowreck?

Thank you sir Spacy

]Well, my Millia had 4 girls and 3 boys (but not completely pink, however...) and she is a little smaller than a giant

likely they didn't consider the dangers such a mounted weapon would have to the A/C (cue the one pic with the smokin' bong ! ) though i've not seen close pics (and it's been years since i've seen a Viking upclose), i don't even think it's possible for anything to be mounted between the engine nassel and the fusilage, can it?

i liked the design myself, even though it's clearly designed around fanboydom and not tried and true areonatical needs. it's not even capable of hand-to-hand combat inside a Zentran ship (Yeah, say otherwise but Battroid in a typical corridor is impossible with the SAP's Main Beam Cannon over head, since no decernable means of folding the stock was present) the shear volume of missles is nice but.... unrealistic, sadly. The Beam Rifle is nice, though no official not of how much ammo it has per E-clip, other than the 10k number concieved from the RPG... and the chest fenders on each side of the front in battroid mode.... sorta presents two large visual blind spots for the head camera and AMS guns.... Fanboy joys. Just as well M2 is considered non cannon in most circles...

now my Kanji sucks but... is that VF-0 in the bottom Left corner.... a VF-0J? Edit: Nahhh, it looks like a S (but seeing a 0J would be nice (and some thing to extend more bang for Yamato's bucks)

if it's the pic that i'm thinking of, from over a year and half ago, or more, it was a fan art pic of a hybrid F-14 Gerwalk. flying across the ocean into oncoming fire, it's wing mate ejecting as the fighter is hit? a flooded city ruins in the back ground? Yeah, awesome pic. it was the MacWorld front pic for a short time before the VF-0S/SV-51 Gerwalk pic replaced it.... any idea when they will get the keys and finally update the current front page?

holy sh*t, good sir. I am hugely impressed and amazed (that was all done in CGI???)

Well now, that is the most wrong comment I've seen on these boards in a while. As a toy collector I hate to see people post such obviously warped statements without making it clear it's a joke. Here, let's do a little game of comparison: Edit - don't mind the missiles on the MPC... i had the wings fully extended and then collapsed them back a bit for pics... my bad 355519[/snapback] wow. nice to compare the look of each type of Toy manufactured (in terms of how the legs relate to the toy, the width of the cockpits, etc...)

No, DYRL had the SDF-1, it was just a slightly different SDF than in the TV show. They are 2 completely separate stories.... I am sure some pussy will come into this thread and tell you that DYRL is part of M7 but that is BS... 10 years after DYRL came out they pimped its name in Macross7 as a pathetic attempt to breathe some life into the lamest show ever. In the SDFMacross timeline, the SDF was a Supervisional Army ship that crashed on Earth, in DYRL the SDF was a Meltohlauedy ship. Here is a picture pre-crash. 337343[/snapback] thread starter here, As is evidenced by your user name... People were just pointing out that ths SDF2 was never built, not even in DYRL. The thing is that the SDF2 concept art was ALSO a representation of the plan for the SDF1. In continuity, the Macross was originally intended to dock with the ARMD1 and ARMD2. Britai prevented that, and when they did the bad space fold that took Daedalus and Prometheus, they retrofitted them on to boost their mecha stores and give them more launch facilities. The Prometheus' catapults were especially useful given that it requires reaction mass to accelerate in space, which seemed to be lacking from the ship's integrated hangers. Every bit of starting velocity is that much less reaction mass expended, and thus the Prometheus became the primary place for VF launch. (I ASSUME the ARMDs had catapults of some sort as well). And as DYRL was attemtping to condense things greatly, they skipped most of the setup. So they went with the finalized Macross to avoid having to explain why there was an aircraft carrier hanging off a space ship. 'Cuz lets face it, the boat arms were really kinda cheezy if you didn't know why they were there. 337431[/snapback] The Short Version DYRL was always meant as movie of the events that occured in M:tv, though, with thoughs of revisionism on my mind, perhaps how DYRL looked was what we should look upon as the style and aesthetics of the VFs and the ships. after all, up until the DS9 episode (and the subiquent clearing of this with recent episodes of ENT), we were led to believe that klingons always looked like TMP klingons, simply the 60's era SFx prevented it at the time... though i didn't know that in DYRL that the Macross was a derelict Meltran ship and not a Supervision Army Gunboat.

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...e=post&id=25406 uh one critique sir... the Box Missle Pods, the aft end. i suppose they are supposed to be sealed in the back but a little more detail could be worked into them. i'm refering to the five circles specifically... other than that, i drool, sir.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment....chmentid=530406 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment....chmentid=530407 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment....chmentid=530408 i just want to know who made THESE... and what scale are they?

I think that's the problem, actually. No one can prove ANYONE doesn't own the rights. So we have... was it 4? diffrent companies all sitting on their "rights" to the show waiting for someone else to move so they can leap like a pack of rabid starving jackals and rip them to shreds. Eventually, only one company will be left, and THEY can get a DVD on the shelves. I suddenly like this plan a LOT. I think you meant gesture, not jester. But jester fits better anyway. 312048[/snapback] perhaps there is a way around this. REDO DYRL. new cells, CG up the wazzo! and licenced all legit. after all, if no one claims the copy write of the original, who is to say they can claim a remake? i know there's a fault in this but... someone point it out... or wokr this idea into something better?

Question: in the TV series Episode 'Viva Millia', during the trip to the Regult Factory (Robowrech Factor for the confused and blind), the fleet comes across a destroyed ship, one the Zentradi seem unwhilling to explore, call it a booby trap in the English HG version of macross. now, i have a copy of Macross Pefect Memory and on Page 181 of that book, they have a brief verbage in japanesse about this ship. What is the text of that section, for those with access to the book and ability to translate? what exactly was that ship supposed to be orginally? based on how little we know of the illustrations.... that was supposed to be a Inspection Army Gunboat, simular to the SDF-1... Yeah, the possiblity exists, the question was already asked but... 69 pages? nah, ill repost the question, due to lavck of interst in gauging eyes out in strain...

I second that. likely because at the time, VFA-84 existed as well (i suspect the idea of the Navy going all Hornets was alive even back then)

but that story, "Yesterday's Enterprise", was just classic, 'The path not taken' scenerio, not a true MU deal. here's a few pics that the folks from Flare are talking about... yeah, it pretty much was fanboy conny action. still vague though on questions like where are the phaser bank mounts located? (but now it's cannon that the conny had aft mounts, appearantly above the aft hanger bay...)

i guess i should be more specific. /me real thread *snorts* anyway, my querry is what are the comparasons between M:DYRL and BSG, situational wise between the Macross Island citizens and the Colony Suvivers? is that a little more clear? *sighs* probably should have posted on Flare... *snorts, amused*

here's something that been banging in my head for a few weeks... what was simular between Macross's (preferabley the DYRL timeline) situation with it's population of South Atara island post fold and BSG (current era version) and it's rag-tag fleet? was Macross City too cheery honestly compared to the harsh drama on the Galatica and her fleet? /me Game on!

I completely agree. Revisionistic, yes, Macross Zero's Valkyries are like that since alot of the inspiration of the designs come from Macross Plus and current aircraft in production, most notably the F-22 or simular designs. i guess it's comparative to Star Trek: Enterprise and speculation of what 23rd century ships (TOS) would look like, using ST:E's NX-01 as a template. would the VF-1 look more like the VF-0, owing a more logical design using current philosophies?

*Sneers* VT only came to light from the moron book 'authors' way back in the 80's when the book versions of the TV episodes came out. likely the confusion occured when he/they saw the first episodes, saw the little 'VT-102' on the art and Misa/Lisa's dialog. (to my knowledge, the first RPG books were still being worked on at the time). it probably never occured to them the fubar in the making... you'd think they would have EDITED the books after all this time.

don't assume that the VF-11 was ripped off from the what ever Robotech item you refer too. check your time lines. it's clear when the chicken and eggs achieved their orgasms...

I know what you are saying, but I think there is a link in the sense that we learn more about the Protoculture, which does link it to the original series... Ok, woody's two cents on M0 ep 5: (it's already been discussed and 28 pages of posts, thats a roger that but what ever) One: In the M0 Pefect collection disc 2, the bomb dropped in the end of Episode 4 was a fuel air bomb. Two: Vector thrust used in close combat in Fighter Mode makes me drool and self~pleasure the Fanboy in me. Three: The old kook of a Professor want to use Sara to create a 'song of creation', to end the war, presumable in the Anti-UN's favor as oppossed to simply ending hostilities. Four: The ABH's of V-1 Division didn't put enough chains on the few pieces of Support Equipement that started skidding to the the Port deck edges of the carrier. Yeah, explain that one to the Air Boss. Five: Simular to Episode 4 of Macross 2, where Silvie Genus's VF-2SS's head module gets destroyed by a incoming micro-missle, Shin's VF-0A's head eats a bullet from the side, thankfully. i assume there is some means of self decapatation of the damaged module to ensure transformation is still possible. it's this event that finally forces Sara over the edge to power up the birdman. later on you see the lower portion intact. the angles are kinda bad to determine the exact damage... Six: Man's hatred and desire for violence is the song of destruction, the catalist to activate the Birdman, who destroys by Reflex beams, it's wings forming the coil usually required to use such energies. Liked the flower effect of the destroyed ships before their aft weapons magazine ignite from the shock. Seven: too many things occur then to make understanding then. it's more.... phylisophical than actually 'It happened'. Shin becomes the 'Birdman', for what ever purpose, will likely be unknown. but japanesse are know for putting vague 'you could think of a 100 different directions' deals like that. Overall, excellent ending. So say, Pensive.
