How can you not like it? It's THE ROBOT THAT CHANGES!

Destroids are not behemoths. They are severely underpowered (I am talking about power output) compared with VFs and Regults, and their agility sucks. FV That Spartan Hikaru drove in that one episode was agile enough. 'S also one of the few destroids that NEEDS to be particularly agile. Things like the Phalanx, Monster, and Defender don't have much need for fast movement. The power diffrence is, IMO, largely because they don't fly or transform. And a naked destroid tends to pack far heavier weapons and armor than a naked Valkyrie. That's important. You will never see a Valk firing a 30 centimeter railgun because the recoil would rip it apart. By the same token, you will never see a Monster leaping into the middle of a pack of enemies and inflicting pain and suffering on them, because it just can't leap. Well, it might could, but it would almost certainly be seriously damaged on landing. And once it was there, it would be little more than a slow-moving target. It's sole reason for being is to tote those railguns around. It is a long-range artillery piece. Agility is not needed. The Spartan is explicitly designed for melee combat. Agility is needed, and it delivers. The Valk is a jack of all trades. It's fast and nimble enough for melee combat, but lacks enough mass to do a whole lot of damage.

Overtech face cream, of course. Guaranteed to make you look and feel 30 years younger, or your money back. Seriously, I chalk it up to advanced medical techniques. People live longer healthier lives as technology advances. I assume we got some sort of medical advances from the crash of the Macross, instead of just laser guns, origami jets, and walking vending machines.

That quote has just destroyed every last shred of hope for the movie. Think reality? WHAT THE FRICKING HELL KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT FOR A MOVIE ABOUT ALIEN ROBOTS THAT TRANSFORM INTO CARS?!?!?!?!

At least Robotech has human characters for the actors... Seriously, on the list of dumb ideas, this ranks up there with the square wheel and the flammable fireplace.

I think we can all agree that tha Valcione is one of the odder mech designs ever. And an armored cannon fodder... Isn't he worried the missiles will go off before he fires them?

Yes. Seriously, the extras are fun to look at sometimes.

It's worth noting that the game tells you what you fly during character select.

No they sucked, GI joe figures put these to shame. The joints on these matchbox figures were horrible. What really bothered me about this line of toys was the scale issue. I'm fine with somethings being out of scale, but just about everything matchbox had was out of scale. Guess I was a hard kid to make happy. I DO admit to wondering as a kid what the heck I was gonna do with a zentradi that was eye-level to Rick Hunter...

It was an animation error that Robotech recently embraced as a "real" mech.

You're so cynical... I suppose next you'll say a 1:1 VF-1J is impractical too. Footnote: A 1:48 Macross would be roughly 83 feet long(or tall, depending on configuration and making assumptions about attack mode dimensions).

Interesting. Now the important question remains... WHO'S PLAYING SUPERMAN?

They should've based the movie on this... http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=8172

The only old DVDs are japanese only. Those are the Animeigo disks, which are the remastered ones.

You didn't know the Dreamcast can boot CD-Rs? how do you burn Dreamcast games? I downloaded M3, but i don't know how. Use Google. In the time you've spent waiting for a reply, you could ahve already found out how. Jolly Rogers: My mistake. I thought you were implying "buy it or ignore it".

This one? Yep, that one.

HEY HEY HEY! When the battleship at the top turns blue and flashes(tcan't tell what causes this, turns out it's NOT shooting the battleship), RAM IT!(actually, fly into the opening, just ramming it kills you) After replaying the title screen animation(sans Macross logo) you go inside, where you get to use battroid mode to fight Glaugs. Shoot the pink doors(battroids have 4-way firing) to advance inside. The second interior screen has a core that oyu have to shoot to start it exploding. Once that's started, a timer starts counting down. Run back out, and watch it blow up. Lather, rinse, repeat on a higher difficulty. Far fancier game than I expected. But yes, it does suck.

Ooooohhhh... *downloads*

Nice hack. The death animation especially is nice. Too bad VCS Defender sucks so bad to begin with... Personally, I'd rather see a dump of the Arcadia Macross game. I HAVE seen it confirmed that the game exists.

Now I have to get the game just to see what's been done to the poor star of Gradius.

The game effects were as follows: If you stop firing your weapon, a field of some sort develops around the valkyrie. If you touch certain enemies with this field, they convert to your side and start shooting at enemies. You can only do this with one enemy at a time, and once I had one I was never able to get a different one (it stayed with you), so I always did my best to wait for a Glaug or Nas-Jer to show up and use it on them I could swap out pretty good. You just gotta make sure the guy you're tagging is stealable. Otherwise your old guy retreats and you don't get a new one. Also, since the Minmay Beam is the same size and shape regardless of mode, Fighter mode is best for vertical tagging, and battroid mode is best for horizontal tagging. Otherwise you get a lot of ramming damage(F mode is especially bad, as horizontal tagging is easier than vertical and the nose of the Valk touches the front edge of the Minmay Beam).

BTW, my weapon of choice was a laser gun. ... I didn't think I picked ANY Sonic-esque answers. Hell, I even said I was an 8-bit character.

Seen it before. Some really lucky bastards on that tugboat...
