    I'm afraid ScarJo's lawsuit has about as much life in it as her character did at the end of Endgame.

    More like a photocopy of a picture...

    The nose landing gear strut looks heavier on the new VF-31 as well, judging from the pic. I also see (what looks to be) heavier cannons mounted where the wing root meets the body. The ailerons also look a little larger, and their mounting to the wings looks reinforced as well. Overall wingspan looks a slight bit shorter than the top pic, and the angled canards look to be angled down a bit more too. I don't think we'll hear the end of it soon, as folks will want to insert their own version of it into the various threads about it. I'm afraid the joke will be warm for quite some time...say, the next nine months. All that will vary on it will be the delivery people use.

    ROFL, especially the last sentence!

    After: The new Armory/ Practice facility: Just need a second lift/ elevator so they can actually get to the landing pad above it! All the Autobots I have at this point : And progress on Skywarp: Stay tuned, folks...

    Nothing like made-to order work to suit your projects.

    Or it's an actual thermometer designed to measure the pizza's optimum temperature for delivery.

    Understood; just wanted to postulate a few possibilities I was thinking of in the meantime. Could also be the proprietor of the fast-food restaurant aboard the parent ship.

    I've been thinking about this one since I ran into his name being used on a VF; been doing some thinking on that. Parmenides had a few views that the makers of this fighter could have seized upon: 1) That Parmenides believed there was a difference between appearance and reality, and that we were mistaken about "the everyday perception of the real world". 2) That he postulated "the void" could not exist, since it was nothing and nothing cannot exist. 3) That (as you previously mentioned), something cannot come from nothing. Being that this is Macross, to attach that name onto a VF tells me that there is something about this particular VF variant that either: 1) Appears differently than it actually is; 2) Has a weapon/ feature that functions somehow based upon a theory that there is something in space and it uses it in some way to either power said weapon/ feature or employ it somehow using it; 3) Prevents craft/ vessels from folding/ interferes with anything using a fold system (fold reheat, fold carbon, etc.), i.e. "something cannot come from nothing" (a craft coming out of fold would be "coming from nothing" in one sense). Those are my guesses; I'm probably way off the mark here, but given the use of this name, i did a little digging around (yes, Wikipedia was involved as well as Pepsi :D).

    Yeah, this guy pretty much cut the rope that was his very lifeline when he tried to defend vermin. Moral of this story: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Not just yet: permatex plastic welder can repair it and put Voltron back in the game.

    To handle critics? :P

    I see tragic explosions in their future....

    I just hope there's no "stoner humor" in it...

    I like my version better

    Huh...I always thought Minmay's last message was: "Help me! Misa is trying to pound me into the deckplates with Hikaru's photo alb--WHAM!!WHAM!!WHAM!!WHAM!!WHAM!!"

    Ah, okay. I wasn't aware of how much of the galaxy they had controlled prior to their fall. Also makes me wonder if they had any installations near the center of the galaxy near the enormous black hole at the center of it. Well...at least that leaves the rest of the universe, eh? It would be interesting to take a jump of about a millennia and see what Earth does insofar as their own "empire".

    Some good points; I know mine bears some resemblance to the VF-19 with elements of the VF-17: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LlAvP On that note: I really should do a sheet with data on mine; thanks for the inspiration!

    Good point; I just felt the Maruk (Mardook?) were as you just said and not a separate civilization altogether. I was thinking equally advanced in comparison to the Protoculture. Since the galaxy is quite large, I would suspect it to be possible to have two such competing powers and not run into one another often unless desired. Anyways, nothing from "Word of God" ever denoted this, so I'm just out in the brambles looking probably for more than what's actually there.

    Yeah; it seems that they're just filling in with a bunch of wordy fluff for the thinness of the missing details. As for Kawamori-san; I wonder if he's getting burned-out on trying to come up with new designs? Given the aforementioned lack of original stuff in Delta, it seems at least possible to me. I know when designing my second variable fighter kitbash, I was struggling to not go over the same old ground and pretty much failed at that! (^not a mechanical engineer, nor plays one on TV!) That leads me to yet another question: (admittedly a departure from the main convo): I wonder about the possibility of yet another advanced civilization out there, perhaps a rival of the Protoculture? While not encountered in Macross as of yet, that at some point, a colony fleet ends up figuring their way past a barrier erected by the Protoculture, only to open up a new can of worms? I know that sounds in a way like what happened when researchers encountered the Protodevlin on Varauta. (maybe I need to lay off the Pastrami sandwiches before bedtime?)

    It might be the same factory that makes all those guns we see in films and TV that never run out of ammo.

    Thanks guys! Part of their charm is how "awkward" they look, although I do have a couple of the Masterpiece versions! As it stands, I'm very close to completing my 1984 Collection for the Autobots! BTW: nice job on the Titanic, derex!
  25. pengbuzz
    So it's entirely possible then that there may be an as to undiscovered facility remaining from the Protoculture that was capable of making it? I wonder if that's part of the reason for the continued exploration (aside from colonization, of course)?
