Gundam came before macross and Gundam has had head guns since the start, but Macross Head lasers are infinitely cooler. The head guns in Gundam are almost ALWAYS fixed Gatling guns as apposed to the awesome independently targeted missile shooting laser goodness of Macross.

you know, the VF-25's always looked rather large on the deck of the Quarter. I could actually see them molding very tiny aircraft. the trick would be coloring them. maybe they'll end up like an old 80's toy where the valks come unpainted and still on the sprue.

it was really cool, they show it off in SK design works (the newer one that has his Aquarion and Eureka 7 stuff.) it's just their to make Americans jealous of how awesome Japanese stuff is. (it's a full color glossy page devoted to it)

I'd prefer the VF-27 and a VF-4, but to each their own. I'm still not super into the VF100 line as a whole, but It's deffinatly a cheaper alternative to the DX's which are definitely not worth the money. I'd much rather see the 1/72 Vajra make it to production than a 1/100. has their been any news on that red Vajra prototype they showed many moons ago?

and you know that the VF-19/VF-22 are inherently more resistant to G loads how?

I think it's kind of an inverse situation. the game has generated enough hype that lots of people want to play the demo to check the game out. the hope is that the compulsion to play the demo NOW will be strong enough to encourage people to go out and buy live... which they should as for the demo, it sucks fairly hard. the ability to do things like cobra maneuvers and other good stuff like that is great but ruined by the fact that you can't execute such moves with limiter on, and in limiter off mode it's absolutely impossible to control the plane. Why did they use that stupid camera mode?!? it's not just that it's zoomed out but that it's locked to the target you're tracking so every time you try to maneuver the orientation of your controls changes. that ERS thing is real good to. I tried using it against ground targets twice and each time it aimed me right into a building... real useful. maybe they'll fix a few things before launch but I doubt it.

Ohhh Baby.

55mm is in the range of Anti-Aircraft auto cannons (40mm bofors being a prime example) or even light field guns a discussion of the largest guns mounted on airplanes http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/weapons/q0174.shtml

I think the 3 in the background are Papercraft models. the 2 up front look like the bandai MG kits.

like I said, seen the manga way more recently than the ova, and their is lots of rape in the manga. I got a copy of the OVA that I need to watch though.

well, I should point out that the Manga is one with all the rape. I haven't watched the OVA in a while but I think they cut out a lot of the depicted rape and made it a lot less sucky, but I'm being 100% honest about the Manga at any rate.

MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :lol:

I really don't want to have to explain what was going on in this OVA/manga but: the manga and anime are royally F***ed up, you have been warned. but the mech is kind of cool looking and its in super robot wars.

you called?

well for one the VF-1's only has a 1,200RPM rate of fire, compared to the A-10's 3,900RPM rate of fire. also the 55mm round for the VF-1 is fat but also short looking. the casing looks more like a pistol round than a rifle round

and now for some stats. VF-28 Guinevere Technical Data: Equipment type: Macross Avalon Fleet main variable fighter Government: NUNG/Macross Avalon Fleet Manufacturer: Avalon Forge Industries. Introduction: 2056 Operational deployment: 2058 Accommodation: 1 pilot Dimensions: • Fighter: length 18.72 • Battroid: height 15.9 meters (includes head lasers). Mass: 8.5 metric tones Propulsion: • 6 x 760 kN Avalon Forge Industries PF-1000/A thermonuclear pulse Turbine engines Other Design Features: 3-mode variable transformation; wing-mounted engines; capable of attaining unassisted orbital velocity over an Earth-class planet; ISC (Inertia Store Converter): Shinsei Industry ISC/TO20; chaff/flare/smoke discharger system; 360 degree holographic cockpit display. -Armament- Guns: • 2 x Mauler RÖV-217C coaxial 12.7mm beam guns (head mounted) • 2 x Mauler RÖV-25 25mm beam machine guns (mounted left/right of intakes in Fighter/GERWALK mode, on rotating hip mounts in Battroid mode) • 1 x GLU-1α PPB lance beam gunpod. Bombs/Missiles: • 4 x micro missile launcher tubes (mounted tip of wing nacelles)

after significantly more build up than this thing deserves here it is. VF-28 Guinevere The VF-28 is the new main variable fighter of the 23rd large-scale super-long-distance colonization fleet, Macross Avalon. the Avalon fleet is a massive colonie of 14 million people living on three Island 1 size ships connected to a single battle class carrier. they also posses a massive research and production center where they are busy developing advanced military technology. The VF-28 falls between the VF-25 and the VF-27 in terms of performance and is notable for having 6 main engines. the Engines are New Thermonuclear Pulse Turbines that are much lighter and thinner than conventional TNT's of equal output. the VF-28 also has a 360 degree holographic cockpit (standard controls though) and is armed with a new type of gunpod. the gunpod (which is energy based) has an extra long pointed barrel that combines with the Valks PPB so that it can be used as a type of lance. (sort of like the weapon on the Metal Siren but its also a gun) by the way, I've been meaning to ask this: what do you guy's think of the use of melee weapons in macross. would it be to gundam for a valk to use a sword, and what about beam sabers?

just something I did. recently

time for a quick, colorful update: some colored line arts. I'm kind of developing a whole unwriten backstory behind the design and the squadron but I don't really want to go into it to much. the important part though is that SVF-103 is field testing the VF-400 and it's variants. the VF-400A is in standard Cannon Fodder Colors (though I wouldn't call any VF-400 pilot cannon fodder); the VF-400F is the squadron leader; and the VF-400AF and RQ are are pre-production models being field tested (hence the F-15 prototype inspired paint scheme).

now I wonder who decided that the thing also needed laser boobs?

I'd say that Maxfactory and Megahouse offer the best quality-to-price levels, though I prefer Megahouse. Yamato can be up and down, but overall I like there work (My all time favorite figure is a Yamato). Goddsmile and alter Make absolutely amazing figures but are crazy expensive, deffinatly a case of you get what you pay for. Orchid seed is interesting; they don't have the best production (though they've gotten better) but they have really interesting subject matter and some really good sculpts.

I was speaking more to your obsession with 30 foot tall women but... I think you're hearing thing cause I don't hear any similarity. All I'm getting is that Yoko Kanno has a think for emulating Disney music.

I still support the idea that the Macross 7 plus design is the VA-14 and the M3 design is the VF-14, and it's just an issue of clarification. (i.e. Sk/studio Nue haven't bothered to clear things up since its an obscure design)

I think we know what your fetish is... I wonder if SK would ever do a macross story where the main characters are lesbians? speaking of lesbians who thinks that "alto pics both" should be the official triangle resolution in the Frontier movie?
