You are right. Sorry for the above post.

At worst the scores are equivalent. The plot is 85% the same. Macross is a very DISJOINTED series. It has no true "flow" for lack of a better word. Robotech is a true *EPIC* spanning GENERATIONS. The pieces (by PURE CHANCE I admit) flow together in a way that makes the sum far greater than its parts. The dialogue is almost the same. The only thing about RT dialogue I hate are the needles "Wah?" "Huh?" "Oh." That stuff is stupid. But if you ignore that the story is incredibly mature. The music is awesome. I have no complaints other than Minmei. I would certainly trade the American in for the Japanese equivalent, but other than one or two songs, the RT BGM is superior. The narrator is my favorite part of RT. He does a great job of tying things together. Macross is like flying in general--hours of bordeom interrupted by moments of sheer terror. It is very unbalanced IMHO. A decent show, but my vote if I compared all of Macross to all of RT would be for RT. True meaning? What true meaning? **********YAWN************* Long live the ROBOTECH. Admit it, you love it. I take pride in the fact I am mature enough to enjoy both. You should consider it. ( Besides, I thought you had me on ignore.)

That's bogus. There are TONS of moments where the characters are OBVIOUSLY thinking *SOMETHING* yet the show gives no insight whatsoever into it. At least RT took a stab at it and I prefer it. YMMV.

I would say it is about 85% faithful to the original. Some things were changed to incorporate the other three shows and ROBOTECH is nowhere near as stoic as Macross is. The characters actually have thoughts that you hear instead of dead air time. (Personally they over did it a little but I prefer it.) If you hate ROBOTECH:TMS then you basically have to hate Macross because they are so similar in all reality.

Why are you bashing on Robotech? The show is very good and most folks would never have even heard of Macross without it. Give the RT bashing a rest. It's a deeper story than Macross in many respects, any way. *Flame Retarding Undewear On*

Thanks for the support, guys>

ROTFLMAO!

Yes, but the intent is quite obviously meant to be a reference to FOKKER and not a FOCKER.

Hikaru is playing with a Fokker biplane in Macross. The link is obvious. I am sure Sir Anthony would be not-so-pleasantly amused to see his name spelled with a "C" in the middle.

Why would they be offended by that? I could no more spell something in Kanjii and I'm not offended if anyone cares to mention it. Dont' be so sensitive.

True. I guess it just looks weird to me and I can't get past it. LOL

Yeah, leave it to the Japanese to spell the name wrong.

LOL!

LONG LIVE ROBOTECH!!!!!!!!!!!

I have some Super O 1/55 wings that are made of resin and they warped UPWARD also. Very odd. I pulled them off, stuck them in boiling water and mashed them flat on a table top. We'll see if they warp again.

It has a rounded front. Especially the Super O. Looks like s--- to me.

Has anyone sanded a Yammie 1/60 nose to make it more pointy? It is WAAAAAAAAY too blunt IMHO and I want to sharpen it up. But I don't know how much meat is there and I'd hate to screw it up.

Fixed. Give it another shot.

Numbers matching 318 bored .060 over with a 4 BBL, comp cam, and electronic ignition. It will light up tires.

I asked this guy for a written "good faith" estimate and a list of references to rebuild the instrument panel on my '69 Charger. His response is hilarious but NOT for the faint of heart. (Profanity) http://www.robotech-aod.com/wav/Gary-Instr...2006-01-08b.mp3 HA HAHAHAHAH!

I hollowed the feet out and they look awesome.... But I can't do much else with them I'm afraid. Fulcy is the master on this one no doubt.

If you want the easy method check out the posts following this one: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...mp;#entry433507 Using a BIC ROUNDSTICK Pen is the easiest method to make swivel thighs. Some photos: http://robotech-aod.com/images/ValkToys/Mo...0-%20BIC%20PEN/

This assumes you are running at high power settings at all times, neh? If so, this is countered by the animation when the VF-1D crashes into the Zentraedi. The exhaust goes from low to high and the heat signature increases dramatically along with thrust output. The reactor has to be "throttleable" (for lack of a better term) or it is unworkable. Besides, it is a FUSION reactor and my understanding is that FUSION reactions are much harder to sustain than FISSION ones, relatively speaking (and from a faded memory). There is definitely a diffusive effect for reasons mentioned, but you're not going to be putting out 23K kg of thrust (how heavy is this Valk any way???) all the time during VTOL ops.
