Valkyrie Profile's a good game. Lenneth doesn't look quite right as a redhead, though(or would that be Hrist?...). And personally, I'd shift the feathers to white.

But, but... I HUNGER.

Heh. ... Actually, light-up thrusters would be pretty cool...

Not really. A story from the PoV of a destroid pilot on the Prometheus, to use an old example, wouldn't necessarily mess with the original storyline. Just add to it. Not gonna happen. The Destroids don't transform, and we all know that non-transforming mecha are just bit-players in the Macross universe. I know. It was just the first example of a "side story" I could think of. And YES! @ KingNoir. Clean things up, but keep the show essentially as-is. No replacing the 80s designs with modern 21st century ones, no changing things after the fact, no making Kamjin Minmay's biggest fan. Just visual polishing. It'd be nice to have a version of Virgin Road that didn't make my eyes bleed. If you want a full remake, go watch DYRL. Granted it's not the same depth a full series offers, but it's still a pretty radical rewrite.

None I can think of, really. BUT... SegaCD. Sega Saturn. TurboCD. 3D0. CD systems with built-in save RAM. Also all older machines, because f'ing Sony made the memory card an acceptable way to do things.

... *winces* Ya know, neither the plane nor the action figure looked that bad when I was a kid. DAMN YOU FOR SOILING MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES! On the other hand, I was always quite annoyed that it didn't transform, because aside from being a toy of a "transformer"(as all transforming vehicles were Transformers, and Robotech was CLEARLY a rip-off), it was obviously intended to change forms at one point(Look at the tail fins! They're HINGED!) yeah, the tail is hinged so it can hold the boosters. Yes, it does come with boosters. I don't think mine did. Could've been a defective package, though. ... Did the thruster feet unfold too? I'm not SURE on this point, but I think they did.

IIRC I think the developers mentioned that it was acutally based off an animation mistake. Sorry I don't have a link for you... Yes they did. And I don't doubt that's true, to a small degree. I mean, it DOES have the 3 head guns... But as has been pointed out, the YF-1R head bears very little resemblence to the animation error in question(which would have given it a 1A head between its side lasers). So I ask... would YOU admit that you were thiefing design elements from other sources? ... Even knowing HG(We can't steal from Macross because we OWN Macross!), they wouldn't, just because it covers their asses should Big West decide to sue them. They claim it's based on the VF-1A animation goof, which they actually have (non-exclusive) rights to. Then steal the VF-11 head, because "Big West can't copyright a hexagon LOLOL". Personally, I think the VF-11 similarity is too strong to just ignore.

I know why! It's because powered armor is cool. And transforming is cool. And motorbikes are cool. And transforming motorbikes change into... powered armor. It's cool cubed. Or something. </rambling>

don't assume that the VF-11 was ripped off from the what ever Robotech item you refer too. check your time lines. it's clear when the chicken and eggs achieved their orgasms... I KNOW that. I was TRYING to suggest the possibility that Rawbooteck ripped the VF-11 head off for the YF-1R.

Ha. I got one of those when I was a kid and Rawbooteck was still in it's first run. Green VF-1J. Here's the thing... everyone else is talking about Macross. You're talking about this Rawbooteck thing that very few people here like, partially for political reasons, partially because it's really not that great a writing job. IF you're gonna be a Robotech fan, you gotta be ready to take some crap for it.

Too bad Spehiroth is second only to Kefka in the "lamest villain ever" category. Sorry, but I have to say, I strongly disagree with that statement....... Kefka > Sephiroth! It's a close race. But a clown?

Can't help, but I understand your pain. Complete games are so much better than naked disks/carts.

One could argue that's what makes him an effective villain. I never took him seriously. All the way through the game, I was wondering when the REAL bad guy would show up. I felt cheated when he was it.

Too bad Spehiroth is second only to Kefka in the "lamest villain ever" category. the hell you say He's got NO personality whatsoever. He's a cardboard cutout, and could easily be replaced with any member of the Gundam Wing cast. Heck, the fans of the game are still debating if it's even Sephiroth in the game or the alien lifeform they used to make him. Or the "real" Sephiroth being controlled by the alien lifeform. #1, of course, is Kefka. Also from an FF, coincidentally. Nothing like a villain that you laugh at while he blows up large portions of the world. He's not a villain, he's a child that just found his parent's gun.

I vote that the ugly award goes to the VF-1A. And to it's close relative, the VF-11, which is actually uglier(and suspiciously similar to Rawbooteck's YF-1R...).

Of course! ....hey ...... If I weren't hodlign out for 1/1 stuff, I'd be with you.

And the ugliest. More 1Js, please. Low vis, hi-vis, infrared, whatever. As long as it's a 1J, I'm happy.

And when are you going to add the yellow stripe and Jolly Roger to your car?

of course the same thing happens in robotech... if something happens in the Macross part of RT that doesn't happen in Macross, I'd like to see it. Well, there's the Robotech Masters leaving to attack Earth shortly after the end of Space War 1, after babbling in shock and awe about how badly we kicked the zentradi's butts. Don't worry EXO, I would've forgotten that as well. It's a sign of my wasted, mis-spent youth watching taped-off-the-air Robotech episodes. What about the 1/48 Macross? Surely you want to see that too....

I WANT!

Neither's ever been a really big deal for me. And to hell with SPs. Regular GBAs are better IMO.
