[Fanboy Rant] Only if the headlasers work! [/Fanboy Rant] Will you settle for the AnimeFriend version? I think there's room to mount some machine guns in there.

Hikaru in the TV series. Intro sequence, and Burst Point. The button that lowers the helmet visor has forever been labelled in my mind as the "bad-ass mode switch".

I remember this when it was new. Which was like 3 years ago. Makes better Megaman X names than it does Metal Gear names. http://www.solidsharkey.com/mgsname.html is another one(purely random, too). IT's a lot more fun, just for the sheer insanity it can come up with. Some of my better ones... Name-based: J B gets me Anonymous Baboon. My real name gets me Informer Camel. Random... Omni-buffalo. Pump-Action Cricket. Firepower Jackass. Dung Beetle. Erect Gnat.

Hikaru drove a Spartan in the episode where he blew off Misa to drink with Minmay. *joins the crowd*

But that's part of the charm. Macross has a vaguely spoofish air about it, and it really shows in some parts. I LOVE the over-dramatic tone they put on the next episode previews. "Next time On Super Dimensional Fortress Macross... <really cool reverb effect> A DREAM SEQUENCE!!!!!!</really cool reverb effect> I can't stand the narrator's voice in SDF. I tolerate the narrator, largely because the next episode previews make me laugh. ME TOO!

The Crescens wasn't the hero's mech. It was a late addition to the party, and belonged to the hero's kid, if I recall(haven't played Xenogears in ages, disk 2 makes me too sad). There was ONE episode of Voltron/Golion where the hero mech was armless. It was the single most incredibly retarded stunt in the entire series, though.

Ya know, 1/48 IS too big. But 1/60 is just right for those larger thigns, like the SDF-1.

Not very familiar with Macs. If it were an IBM-compatible, I'd bet the soundcard didn't have an amp, but Apple would have to be cheap beyond words to not put an onboard amp on a machine that expensive.

Yes We WANT TO KNOW! You should know what is left for the imagination is allways worst than the real thing... Im starting to have nasty toughts about what you do! Yes. Very bad to leave it to the imagination.

I liked it when I saw it. But then again, my tastes are very odd.

Steroidology.com, eh? I usually go to RX7club.com or the forums in insertcredit.com. Really though, other than Macross and my local car club's forum, I barely read forums anymore. So when the car forum went down today and Macross World was down for maintenance.. you can imagine my horror. Yes. You might have had to go OUTSIDE! The horror!

I just keep poking refresh untill it's NOT down.

I thought that Macross II (while existing in a non-canon universe) was based on DYRL and not the TV series. Could be wrong though. H Who knows? Either way has as much relevance.

NO! WE ARREST YOU AND THROW YOU IN CELL WITH BUBBA! ... Kidding. Heck, you can even like Robotech if you wish, though it is strongly discouraged. Genesis Climber MOSPEADA is the series name. It's often shortened to just MOSPEADA, which is also the motorbike/powered armor name. There's jets beause the motorbikes need a way to get from place to place quickly, and they transform because everything should transform if possible.

Macross 2 isn't real. Seriously. It was creatd without any input from Studio Nue, and has been banished to an alternate reality where the rest of the series(save the original show) don't exist. Welcome to REAL Macross, BTW.

Heh. I checked with a second browser first. 3-handed people... Wo'd've thought evolutiuon would equip mankind with an appendage intended solely for scratching their butt?

I.e., http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/...s/mechanic.html I'd have to say this is a pretty good indication that the VF-1 isn't going to be updated. Further discussion of the game, see this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ct=ST&f=6&t=281 I disagree. When's the last time you saw a 3-handed super valkyrie? (check under the mech's left FAST pack)

Well, Focker's there. And Focker without the VF-1S is just wrong.

You make it sound as if the UN military are Nazis. Well...they were bastards during Space War 1....but they were more or less wiped out leaving Global and the other general dudes forming the new military and UN Government. Well, I would argue that the preservation of the human race takes precedent over poorly-articulated arguments about the sanctity of life. ... They may practice eugenics to a degree by only cloning people they think are "better", though that's less offensive than neutering or executing the "bad" ones. Well, they won't look EXACTLY alike. Close, but not exactly. Say one has a hooked nose because he broke it and it healed wrong, another has some interesting scars, et cetera. ... Yes, I'm being nit-picky. I'll shut up. Yah. Like when hereditary diseases started increasing. Which, story-wise, is where they terminated the program and let the natural shuffling of genes through standard methods take over completely. ... I'd bet there were other programs to boost the population too. Like heavy taxes on birth-control products and special benefits for people with more than 2 children.

A. Wrong thread. B. There was no recall on defective discs. You might have gotten a manufacturing problem. Return it from where you got it and ask if they can replace it (i.e. exchange for another copy of the set) Southcross: The Macross DVDs are 1-layer, as I recall. Animeigo did that intentionally. He tried 2 disks. I suspect it's a player problem. Alas, DVD players aren't all created equal, and some are real bitches about some disks.

The VF-11 served as the main UNS fighter from 2030 through the 2040s and into the 2050s. (M+ thru M7) http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...vf11/index.html AKA the great unanimated void. It's the main jet during Macross Plus, but as Plus revolves around Project Supernova, you don't get to see much of the 11.

GASP! Max is a clone that's why he looks so young for a almost 60 yr old person! Kidding. Best serious guess is that overtechnology offered major medical advancements as well as weaponry and mecha. What they want is irrelevant if the government mandates they HAVE to submit to cloning. Survival outside of the cities is a questionable prospect at best, even with the reclamation project going on. I'd give my sample and get on with life. Same genetic material, not same person. Environment shapes appearances to some degree, and personality to a great degree. And how does the moral dilemma of cloning compare to the moral dilemma of letting humanity die out? Morals are all relative, and this one wasn't a debate people could afford to have.

I'm busy trying to decide whether authentic "science ninja team" or completely screwed up "neutrino bomb" strikes me as cheesier.

Not me. I dream in 1:2. Yes, the valk in my dreams is bigger than the real thing. And people will bitch endlessly about how the tail-fins are at a marginally diffrent angle.
