I say powerfull headmounted infrared spotlight for complete darkness situations. better than the 2 shoulder lights on the vf-1. second guess would be a directional speaker so basara can sing before sound booster was invented. ps i know sound doesn't travel in space but in the mac7 universe it does. Actually, I think the speaker pod guns are there precisely beause sound DOESN'T travel in space. Of course, Minmay just used the radio...

C2 likely means "costume 2". Which, if I remember correctly, is the same thing in white instead of blue.

I KNOW! It's the speaker! So you can LISTEN TO HIS SONG! *dodges bricks*

HEY! KITT is NOT gay!

I don't get it.

didn't think it was possible for rt for mess up his name. what did they use? ray fooker In a remarkably logical change, they used "Fokker" for the last name.

They did seplling and grammar fixes? I never noticed.

I think all ASS was doing was ripping bootlegs.

Super poseable but really really costly Usually very high maintenance as well . Graham However, keep in mind they come equipped with a legioss style docking ability and a great deal of sensory stimulation equipment. "Girls" are actually an excellent buy - if you have the money. But since I'm broke I stay home and play with my toys. ... BAD MENTAL IMAGE! Or to continue the theme... COVER THAT NOSECONE!

The Gradius boss? Okay then... And I knew it was onl a matter of time before someone made a Rei with a transparent plugsuit.

Riiiiiiight...

*signs on with the UN-Amused*

Spotlights?

Nice. And diffrent. Which makes it nice++.

My favorite mode! All right!

Then, and only then, can you call yourself... THE OTAKING!! I think I owned that toy as a kid. It was like a Perdaking with glasses. And it carried little toy jets instead of guns.

DUH!

And seeing ANYTHING Golion would be nice. ... But Japan doesn't care about him.

I as under the impression the entire YF-19 toy was getting a redesign to go with the fastpacks, much like the YF-21 did.

Super poseable but really really costly So these "girls" don't transform? Why would someone want them, then?

This would be better put in the newbie questions thread. But to answer your questions... The zentradi are at war with the supervision army. The supervision army got in the habit of laying damaged vessels out and rigging them to fire on nearby zentradi as boobytraps. Britai followed a supervision army vessel that folded out to Earth, where they saw what we know as the SDF Macross. They were surprised because it didn't look like a proper supervision army vessel, it looked like a hybrid between SA and Earth tech. They were having trouble believing we could have repaired the vessel ourselves with our primitive backwards technology. And when the ship fired on them(the boobytrap kicking in) they concluded we were clearly allied with the SA. Then we fired some nukes at them, and they became very impressed because the Zentradi haven't had reaction weaponry for several centuries. The SDF Macross was not particularly special in any way, though the people aboard it came to be regarded as such.

I said ship-to-ship combat. Not ship-to-fighter. It's hard to deny that SDF-1 can engage a capital ship with the firepower it has. However, when it comes to defense of the ship, that's a new problem (it seemed to have lacked some anti-aircraft defenses pre-2012). Fair enough. But it seemed all the zentradi ships had heavy fighter escorts, so you needed good anti-fighter defenses for ship-ship combat. ... And they were marching the Monsters out too. Those aren't for anti-fighter purposes.

HOORAY!

What is this... "girl" of which you speak? Is it anything like a Gamecube? Or an XBox?

I'm pretty sure you're right. Though Bandai wanted a game that snagged the attention of non-fans as well as Macross fans, and then kept them coming back after they played it. And while the DYRL arcade may not win any points for license accuracy, it's generally regarded as a pretty good game. Much like Scrambled Valkyrie on the Super FamiCom, which has similarly wierd weapons(well, Hikaru's VF-1SOL has a semi-reasonable loadout, but Max and Millia are packing pretty un-authentic stuff). The Saturn/PS1 DYRL game is a lot more authentic, but it still makes some concessions for the sake of making a fun game. A diehard fan isn't always the best person for the job. Someone more distant can more easily see what won't work in the new medium. And arcade shooters won't have mush use for multi-mode vehicles with no diffrences but maneuverability. They're just too darn fast for people to be worrying about modes. But if you make it new weapons instead... now we're getting somewhere.
