    Maybe the artist worked from a misassembled kit? That would explain much.
  2. pengbuzz
    are you talking about the ones on the "backpack" between the boosters?

    I actually have that on preorder. Been dreaming of this for 40+ years!

    Yeah, I had forgotten about his "signature line". Whoops.

    Much appreciated Seto! When you state it in that way, it does indeed work. I wonder: even if they had adopted the BDI system (and the BDS control system), wouldn't the side effects and consequences have come out sooner or later? Given enough instances of loss of control and/ or the system misinterpreting thoughts and acting on errant ones, that would have at at the least caused a number of possibly fatal (and humiliating for NUNS) situations for the Unity Government? On a whole, it also makes me wonder if this incident, along with the Sharon Apple Incident, are contributing factors to the decentralization of the Unity Government?

    Please tell me that Brook will be in this! (BTW: does anyone else think Brook resembles Slash from Guns N' Roses? )

    Seto, does any of this square up with Macross Chronicle? I don't know how in-depth it went (if it did so in any way) into Guld's past. The part about AI ARIEL and "making it play nice with Guld's BDI system" would cerainly explain much in M+ (where Guld's system interpreted his "daydream" about crashing Isamu's VF-11 as a command input into the system).

    WOW!! Talk about shooting your mouth off!

    I LOVE the off-white you painted this; it's the perfect color for Skull-1!!! :yeah:

    Yeah; it makes me wonder in the story that after the Unity Government deciding to keep all of that secret, the first thing that happens after the Valkyries and Destroids were revealed to the public was a demand for model kits and toys?

    Now if they can get this series together in one piece...

    Alternately: carve out the lights, glue in some clear styrene and file the light to match the wing contour and shape.

    A few things here: 1) As any equestrian will tell you: any sort of padding or armor is only going to do so much for you in a fall. You land the wrong way and no amount of armor in the world is going to save you from a broken neck. And their armor didn't look to have much in the way of cybernetic reinforcement for their necks. 2) "Fast travel"; in an open cockpit with no apparent restraints, windshield, shielding or whatnot. After a certain speed, your own velocity works against you, and "armor" is simply a container for your remains. 3) That armor is going to do squat for them when enemy artillery (energy or otherwise) come their way in that open cockpit. This is how open that cockpit is (not no seat belt per se): Not to mention when it transforms into robot mode, it takes several seconds. That's an eternity in which an enemy can open up on the exposed pilot. You can also see here that the "cool armor" does not have much to protect the pilot's neck from stresses involving the head being thrown around (coup/contre-coup), or sudden twisting or jarring. @Seto Kaiba I'll bet I'm missing some stuff here... anything you want to add?

    Looks like they put VF-1 legs on a VF-31...
  16. pengbuzz
    And if that's working for them, they'll probably continue to do so. And probably hiding from Mylene!

    Like for example: an actual enclosed cockpit that doesn't make it's pilot a sitting duck for all sorts of crap and is ready to dump them out at a moment's notice. I personally wonder when the designers of this mech heard the word "convertible", they were thinking of drop-tops!

    I'm thinking about the same thing: if. Being that they're using a different company, there may be a different schedule; I imagine Sunrise has other projects and have to schedule when the new Macross series can be produced. Speaking of Yoshiki Fukuyama: I wonder what Basara Nekki is doing these days in the Macross universe?
  19. pengbuzz
    Incredible!

    We could always shorten that to War in the 8th MS Memory.

    Exactly; the decal film on the older kits can be problematic. Another way to deal with them is to scan them into a program like GIMP or Photoshop (or even Paint), then print them on a new sheet of decal paper and clearcoat it. Granted, you'll have to cut each one out, but that should avoid the age/ tearing issue. And yeah: miss the old capital ship models as well! Not familiar with the 27, 31 or 262 kits, but I've had the VF-1 and 25. I agree: the VF-1 is a hot mess that will simply cause you tears and increase the possibility that the model will end up flying across the room to its' "violent disassembly"! The 25 was okay, but the transform was a bit fiddly IMO.

    More like the shark got jumped. In all seriousness, that Macross shows that former enemies can become friends is one of the most welcome ideas I've ever encountered, and is one of the things that keeps bringing me back to the franchise.

    Hang 10, dude. In a Battle Fortress.

    So, I guess the yoke's on you then? *runs*
