  1. Sounds plausible actually. On a separate note, it has been noted by many that there has been a lack of non-plane mode combat. Flying is Messer's and Aerial knights' (specifically Keith's) forte. This we know. But how would they perform in Battroid mode, even Keith? Til date, the only combat scenes we have seen in battroid mode come from Hayate and Arad (as far as key characters are concerned of course). Trying to fight the Aerial Knights in the air(especially without Messer) gives Delta / Chaos/ NUNS a distinct disadvantage, they've got to take away that advantage either by, as many have said, the remainder of Delta Squadron better step up their game, or try to force the Knights to fight on the ground or at least out of their preferred mode. Maybe the 2nd tranche of episodes will see CHAOs trying to shift their strategy somewhat
  2. Nope all the time. Max was Hikaru's subordinate, but he was The Ace.
  3. Thanks guys for the podcasts, especially for this episode (10) it was carthartic listening to you guys for this episode. Really enjoy it when there are more people offering different viewpoints, and makes for more humorous banter.
  4. This should probably be part of episode 8, but I was just thinking: The planet Voldor, and perhaps their liberators (I'm assuming they were liberated) NUNS should have a captured, albeit damaged/ legless Drakken, courtesy of Bogue. Bogue didn't seem to have destroyed the aircraft after walking out from it. If this is true, we'll have the in-world assessment of the capabilities of the Drakken soon.

  6. Maybe it'll grow on me after I listen to it a few more times, but right now it isn't doing very much for me. It took me a while before Ikenai borderline grew on me. In contrast, most of Kanno's songs(musical tunes at the very least)for frontier were "insta-buys"
  7. If this one is the better ones they've got, then I would have to say that that Delta's music is seriously lack lustre. Except for Ikenai borderline, non of the songs's tunes have made it enough an impression that I am able to recall the tune. Kanno is seriously missed here.
  8. Successful, but did not escape the blast radius, which logically should be fatal
  9. Note that Hayate basically got chewed out a little. There wasn't even any form of NJP against him!
  10. While that is true in real life, in-universe, its a pretty small world as each character seems to know or related to one another somehow, some way.
  11. yes, I think there is a good possibility of that happening
  12. Watched with Subs. Absolutely enjoyed the episode. I wasn't sold by the pop idol group singing and taking part in the battle thing, but after the last 2 episodes, I must say, I am convinced(so far) that Kawamori made it work, and *gasp* I cheer when I see Hayate doing his little dances in mecha! I thought what Messer did was totally necessary. No rookie should get ahead of themselves, not even after such a win. Hayate needed to be taken down a notch or 2. Hayate is spoilt and arrogant.He needed to realise he can't always do things his own way. Messer is the Sergeant Major (or equivalent) of the squadron
  13. I'm also of the opinion that there is something fishy about those apples from Windemere
  14. Just finally got to watching the full episode 1 (had watched the preview earlier)! The last few minutes, as mentioned, was absolutely classic Macross moments. I wasn't sure if I would like this new series, but those added few minutes at the end, sold it for me. I will watch with interest Hayate's career as the series progresses. The action went well with Ikenai Borderline.

    Ah.... 2009 was the absolute golden age for Yamato 1/60 VF-1 fans.... they were pumping out releases every month back then! (Which eventually led to their downfall, me thinks)

    So I just got my GBP and after opening it up and attaching the armor (haven't transformed it yet) these are my thoughts (this is my 1st Hi-metal/ VF-100... etc): Likes: Nice heft for the size GBP Armor looks nice and well proportioned Grey 1J visors Dislikes Too many parts backpack sits a little too low and too far out from the body Removal of part (tip of nose cone) necessary for application or GBP armor Armored hips unposeable Easily dislodged waist attachment/ missles red- band markings at wrong angles Conclusion: I would not trade my 1/60 collection for the 1/100 Hi Metal-Rs. These things are great for display and the occasional fiddling on your desk though.
  17. Hydrogen Peroxide works, but you need to use a sealant to "lock-in" the new found whiteness, else the effect will be temporary. The peroxide causes minute cavities and this means a larger surface area, and the net result is faster and angrier yellowing if no sealant is used. Exposed diecast and metals would have a reaction to the peroxide too.
