But to hurl it, you'd have to touch it. Are you sure about that?

But Guld likely didn't have a link open. Sharon only got into the YF-19 because Yang was busy trying to hack her from the backseat, which required an open computer connection.

"Eh... I always thought the moon was a little too bright when full!" (launches missle) HAHAHA! "Well, the man in the moon was being rude, so I thought I'd teach him some manners."

As far as fighting the Ghost went, Guld's vehicle was the only one that really stood a chance, IMO. All other things being equal, the BDI/BCS gave him an edge. Guld didn't lose milliseconds interpreting readouts on gauges and display screens, he didn't lose moments reaching for the right controls. Every last bit, byte, and nybble of information was presented in an intuitive manner as fast as it came in, every control was immediatly accessible with a thought, every aspect of the vehicle from the sensor suite to the pinpoint barrier to the missiles was used as easily as if it was his own body. That was the primary advantage of the YF-21. Guld's situation was a lot closer to the Ghost, which WAS in it's own body. The only thing seperating the 2 was that the vessel containing Guld's mind was made of soft squishy bits instead of exotic titanium alloys. While he probably could have injured it some, Isamu would have been playing catch-up the entire fight and eventually would have been left behind. Or shot down, leaving Guld with the task of stopping Sharon AND dealing with the Ghost. That's why Guld went after the Ghost alone. ... Or we can just say that they really wanted 2 targets so Sharon couldn't point her weaponry at the dogfight and have both of them in her sights at once. The Ghost was enough of a problem without having to watch for gunfire from the Macross as well. With Isamu making an attack on the Macross, he was the more immediate threat, so Sharon attacked him with her guns, leaving Guld free to deal with the Ghost. That lione of reasoning leaves no room for reading any unintended slurs upon Isamu's skills or the YF-19's capabilities into the post.

Wil a QRau really HELP matters, though?

Man that would be alot of McDonald's! In the beginning they would use a lot of cows to make those straps. But just think, after the UN Spacy gets hold of resizing chambers from the Zentradi, they could use them to macronize the cows. Heh, 60ft giant cows Graham And thus was born the greatest enemy the world had ever known, the scourge of the universe, the mighty COWZILLA!

Sony humanoid robot!!!! http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/20...200312/03-060E/ http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/1218/sony.htm You know there's a Kawamori-designed Aibo? Designated the ERS-220.

Maybe it'll be on the 1/1 scale version...

Yah, that one. I was thinking it looked like it belonged in that series, actually, but I'm not familiar enough to say for certain.

I SWEAR I recognize the super robot in pic 1, but I can't for the life of me pen a name to it!

On-topic briefly, I would assume the strap is made out of kevlar, or something similarly tough. Would YOU trust a leather strap to hold up under a 15-foot gun while running?

Presumably an indicator. Aren't the flightsuits equipped with basic life support? It was never shown that such a device existed, but I would assume it's existence since it seemed to be added in Mac0 solely to explain how pilots could target fast enough to shoot down incoming missiles. If I recall, TV-style cockpits had spare joysticks that were used in battroid(and GERWALK?) mode.

I'd be more worried about the gearing. It's having force applied to it from the opposite direction it was designed to take it from. ... The fact that Sony hasn't redesigned hte PS2 to use a worm gear just to defeat this mildly surprises me.

It's everywhere. Here's a copy...

I need one of these... http://www.gamestech.com/playstation_info/...troller/psx.htm And a Macross 7 PS2 game. Then I too can be Basara.

The stabilizer fins of the AMM-1 do not extend until after the missile is launched. Use can see the side drawing on the AMM-1 page which shows the AMM-1 with its fins retracted: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...siles/amm1.html But you just said tail fin missiles aren't AMM-1s. What was being referred to before was the vertical tail of Max's VF-1 which had missiles specially attached to it..... as part of this system: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat..._armed_sys.html I know. And then you mentioned the AMM-1.

Why stop there? Would 1/5 be about right for a normal human to fit inside?

Mac7 is just like that. Friends have become enemies, families have been divided, wars have been started over whether or not the show sucks.

Heh. Methinks an extra letter might be needed.

True. DirectX didn't exist until ... I think '96. Or IS IT? Maybe Kawamori and company predicted Microsoft's rise to power 2 decades ago, when the IBM PC was just a dream and Gates was just a conman.

But I'd pay good money to see someone blast a WORKING one out. Especially if it didn't go straight up, so it spun in the air. ... This all assumes I'm a safe distance away.

Yamato will be the winners, no questions asked. Bandai's are reissues of the old toys from the original release of the show. While good for their day, and the most playable of the 3 main ones, they aren't exactly known for their accuracy. Toynami has had major quality control issues, as well as being Robotech merchandise, which earns them some more ire. Yamato, despite a few quality control problems here and there, has consistently offered the most detailed, articulated, and accurate toys.

Are you sure you're not confusing her gloved hands with tig bittes? Probably. *picks mind out of the gutter*
