    As far as a hostage rescue Valk goes... just make sure it moves fast in battroid and GERWALK modes and carry the rescuee out in a trash can in your robohand. If you're feeling ambitious, a padded trash can like the zentradi used to install spies aboard enemy vessels. See, we don't need a second seat at all! No worries. Just doing my part to raise awareness of the differences between fission and fusion. Also, fusion doesn't really have chain reactions, controlled or otherwise. It's a lot harder to make a large atom split into two smaller atoms than it is two make two small atoms combine into a larger one. Fusion reactions take a lot of energy to start(enough so that every real-world fusion bomb ever made uses a fission bomb as the detonator), and don't want to continue. It's the biggest problem facing real-world attempts to build a fusion power generator. On the upside, it also makes fusion reactors much safer. The stars keep burning because they're utterly massive. With enough weight, anything will fuse. No fancy chain reactions required. A fusion reactor is far different than a fission one, even though they're both "nuclear power." Think of a fusion reactor as a jar full of REALLY HOT fire(and now all atomic physicists in the area are sobbing quietly). If you stop feeding fuel into the fire, it uses up all the available fuel and burns out fast.

    Critical mass is a concept of great importance in fission reactions, but not one with meaning in the realm of fusion where Macross operates.

    Who the hey is Gumpy, anyway?

    I'm just surprised no one's favorite is Gubaba. Not even Gubaba's.

    But SPOILER is still correct! Oh, we all wanted to punch Sentinel in his massive chin. We were supposed to, of course. But on the other hand, Sentinel never ordered a team of autobots be buried alive because they were stupid. So... eh, the jerk scale is a little variable.

    He also survived the pineapple curse!

    Indeed it has. And ANN failed to actually link the campaign, near as I can tell. So I will.

    Hey, I'm excited to see this finished. But... wrestling meltrans is a pretty hard act to top!

    Oh, and let's not forget Sari is the least annoying human sidekick of all time.

    What everyone else said. Initial trepidation gave way to "great show, shoulda been longer."

    I think it just means I strike close to the truth of the matter.

    How is that a tossup? The coke machine is hands down the better character.

    Honestly, it made sense for Operation Stargazer. And I imagine after they got back, Millia just harangued him about it endlessly. "You got your own VF-22? " "Well, it was a necessity for the miss-" "You know they're based on MY Quedluun!" "I'm aware some of the technol-" "And one of YOUR so-called 'ace pilots' stole and destroyed MY VF-1!" "I assure you Gamlin had the best of inten-" "I'm not blaming anyone. But the VF-22 is a really nice plane." "*sigh* I can get the factory satellite to build a second one if you'd like." "Oh, if it's not too much trouble! MAKE SURE THEY PAINT IT THE RIGHT SHADE OF RED!"

    Man, I'd love that last one. Especially with that cape. I wish the too-small swimsuit wasn't a too-small swimsuit because it's an awesome style, but the, shall we say, clinginess of the outfit is just a TINY bit ridiculous. And it's TOTALLY out of character!(he said as if anyone in this thread cares about in-characterness)

    They built a -19 for a homeless rock star before the special forces got a shot at them. <noncanon musings> Which I guess means it's possible the special forces guys only got it because Basara had already demonstrated the thing had a significant real-world advantage over their current rides. I kind of like the idea of Basara getting a -19 to "beta-test" it for the rest of the fleet. Making sure the Sound Force project is useful even if Dr. Chiba's sound energy theory had turned out to be just the ravings of a mad man. </noncanon musings> And then they built a pair of -22s for their fleet commander and mayor because why not? Clearly the military and civilian leaders of your entire gig should be on the front lines where they can more effectively oversee operations. (And it was awesome and I love them for it.)

    Kakizaki. Someone's gotta root for the underdog.

    That's not true! That's impossible! Everyone knows the UPS guy doesn't talk to anyone. Just throws the box on the porch and runs.

    I knew I should've doublechecked which mold Bumblejumper was instead of just shooting from the hip.

    Bumblejumper, isn't it?

    I dunno, looks more like a VF-4 to me.

    What's this about trials and tribble-ations?
