Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

Okay, so why the designers incorporated a inertia vector control system in the YF-21? Was there a reason? -

So, about the SDF-1 Macross, do the Megaroad class ships after it have different internsls compared to the SDF-1 because they're built from scratch rathrr than from an alien ship.- 7108 replies

Advanced Destroid Program (Destroid Upgrades)

Darn! So that's why we don't see them running around that much by the time Frontier takes place. -
Advanced Destroid Program (Destroid Upgrades)
cheemingwan1234 posted a topic in Movies and TV Series
Okay, Destroids have been relegated to the sidelines in Macross for Variable Fighters, so what type of upgrades can be done to Destroids to make them more relevant in a changing battlefield. (And no, the Koing Monster does not count as a Destroid. It's a Variable Bomber) Ideas: Rollers on feet a la Cheyenne II and Macross II Destroids. (and a must) Modular chassis with interchangeable and easy to swap out weapons. EX-Gear for better weapon aiming Pin point barriers and Energy Conversion Armor incorporated into Destroids (I bet they can tank more than VFs since they don' t have to contend with a thing called flying) -

It does simplify manufacture though.....- 7108 replies

So, I was trying to design a ejection mechanism for the SV-51, VF-4, and other VFs with similar fransformations and well, I think some explosive bolts can be used to blow off the upper torso to expose the cockpit.- 7108 replies

Because I think that could open up new design paths for VFs...If you can make the limbs easy to swap out, you can introduce a lot of variants and simplify repair.- 7108 replies

I was thinking of something. Hey, remember the ordnance pods of the YF-30 and VF-31? Wonder if that can be combined with the YF-21's detachable limbs to create a truly modular variable fighter? Then again, it would play havoc with aerodynamics.- 7108 replies

Darn! Really wish that Macross can try different idol groups have different music genres since it could be useful in showing music and how it changes and how it's used in different cultures. -

Do you think that the idea of Macross series featuring different idol groups that have distinct music genres in the same show could work? It could give each idol group a distinct flavor. You can have classic J-Pop idols, and other music genres such as a Zentraedi military choir (under an all Zentraedi unit in the NUNS to boost their fighting spirit)*. Plus, just imagine the final song for a movie of that theoretical series where one group sings a segment with their own instruments before switching over to another group who sings their own segment with the finale being the different idol groups singing together, showing the different aspects of music and how it brings everyone together. *I can picture the Zentraedi military choir sounding similar to this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy6AOGRsR80 And speaking of asteroid mining, okay, are asteroid fortresses built from an asteroid a thing in Macross? I know that the Fulbtzs-Berrentzs Class Mothership exists, but that just looks like an a very large asteroid. -

Though of course.....do they blow up just as good as terrestrial fuel depots? Me wants big boom! -
If I remember correctly, Macross did try experimenting with music genres in Plus (electronic), 7 (a rock band) and Zero (tribal), but does anyone wish they could try experimenting with different music genres more often? Here's my personal bucket list of music genres that Macross could experiment with. Classical orchestra. Japanese enka (traditional music) Scottish inspired music (bagpipes and all) Sabaton inspired heavy metal...(for the antagonists) Choir

Fingers crossed that they're putting the VF-19Kai and YF-21 for next year.

And that's before the nebulas start screwing with your sensors. -
Back onto the topic, will the belly plates have hardpoint to mount plyons on?

Well, that explains why the VF-19F and S have different shoulders from the VF-19A. -

So, are there official walking/running speed stats for later model VFs? I can picture the later models outrunning a VF-1 -
I really wish that there was a VF-22 style canopy option for the DX YF-21 included so that you can have a 'what if?' version of the VF-22's early prototype*. That and a canopy cover that fits on the inside of the cockpit or pilot compartment to hide the pilot.* *Bandai included an option for a conventional cockpit with their VF-27 and SV-262hs toys. *Seriously, none of the toys of the YF-21 that are perfect transformation include an option to cover the pilot up?
-
Okay, the YF-21 introduced a lot of technologies, many of which such as the BDI/BDS had to be toned down or in the case of it's composite material wing, abandoned....but the idea of the legs being separate from the engines was an idea that was'nt pursued further after the YF-21/VF-22. Why is it so? Especially since it makes it more resilient to damage that way since in more traditional VFs (such as the VF-19) , take out the legs and you can screw over the pilot a lot. As seen with the YF-21 against the Ghost X-9, it was still able to fly and fight (and it was helped by Guld disabling the safety systems of his VF to keep up with the Ghost at the cost of his life) when it's limbs were shot off thanks to the legs being independent of it's engines Surely the additional durability of keeping the legs separate from the engines that the YF-21 pioneered would be something worth developing for future Variable Fighters?

So, how does manufacturing and copyright work in Macross with the colony ships and planets? I can see some colonies with detuned VF-19s and others with VF-31As or tuned up VF-11s and SV-52s due to schematics provided by differing manufacturers. -

Even if the palletes and bays are roomy enough.....well, there's gonna be issues with space compared to just hanging bombs on the centerline/underwing.
