Saturn emulation is pretty young. Odds are you'll need a real Saturn.

Only partially. There WAS severe damage to the command tower.

My take on it is that given the opponent's preference for particle beams, anything that blows the windshield out is also going to vaporize everything ebhind it. Heck, they could use a good old visible light laser and slhash the crew up without even damaging the window. Assuming the glass could handle the thermal stresses, or was 100% transparent.

But it's totally out of scale. What's the point if you can't point it at your dog and make laser noises?

I think you can say that for pretty much all of their products... I guess maybe their Super deformed stuff might be all right, I haven't seen any close up. I've seen the pullback morpher things. Picked one up off the shelf once, saw a sticker saying, roughly, "This is a colelctable, not a toy. It is not intended to be used and it's not our fault if the thing expldoes when you open the package" and put it right back where it was. I'm sorry, but when the whole POINT of the thing is it winds up and rolls, it damn well BETTER not come with a disclaimer sayuing it's not intended to be wound up and rolled.

Kamjin shot the tower once, but well below the bridge. And the pinpoint barrier absorbed a lot of the damage.

I'm jsut saying, they'd be like a lot more than just Gundam if htey did do it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's actually what I was thinking of when I saw the thread title. Same here.

Most logical reason I've heard. ... Not that every OTHeR mech anime hasn't done it...

Yeah his head reminds me of Shockwave too. The whole body reminds me. Particularly the gunarm and chest area. ... As does the name. Ah well, at least they changed it a little. Shockwave's NAME is untarnished.

I am: Duo, the vaguely sane. This poll is: nonfunctional under Mozilla.

I think that's accurate. ... Unless you count the various FamiClones. Some of those have been sighted with Macross.

think he means the VF-1SR, one of the variants? I somehow doubt it.

SHOCKWAVE!!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!!!! :'( Not only is there no gun mode(big surprise THERE...), but whatever modes it DOES have are totally whacked out. The vehicle is all right, I guess, but the laser howitzer satellite of death...

'S pr'ly just a bad setting somewhere. Check and make sure your sound plugin has XA audio playback enabled. ... Personally, I prefer PSXeven to ePSXe currently.

Plus and 2 weren't delayed by any legal fuss that I know of. It's only recently that HG's started giving a crap one way or the other. And no, no Macross games have made it stateside. VFX2 almost did. It was canned at the last minute. Some suspect HG threatened legal action, but it's unverified.

I've always thoguht the destroid line DID continue on. You never SEE much of a ground fight in the later shows, so you wouldn't see much of the destroids. We know they made at LEAST one new model, and added transformation to it so it could more swiftly get where it was needed(see the VB-6).

The game is still available 1st-hand... http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-r-70-2...15-macross.html http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SLPM-65405.html http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...oducts_id=3825&

Hilde Hilde, come in here Hilde. What is it Dr. Heimlich? I have invented a maneuver! Asteroid cracker! If you don't see the problems that a user name "God" will cause... you should see my inbox full of complaints about it. I apologize. I was not aware that it was actually bothering anyone. It was not my intent to offend.

Ummm, yah. Was an IP ban REALLY necessary? Especially for something that was, to my knowledge, in violation of no rules whatsoever.

But, but... It has MAX in it!

They removed the baby-throwing scene too.

No, it's really more like having four lamps plugged into your home electrical sockets than one. The Valk's engines can (almost certainly) produce way more power than a single laser can handle. Indeed, as evidenced by the fact that it can fire the lasers while in operation.

I'd just like to note that as the Macross landed in the middle of the ocean, it wasn't very hard to hide. Especially if they made an effort to avoid major air traffic and sea traffic routes while coming in(because, you know, NOT smashing 747s full of people makes for a much happier homecoming).
