    The 29 is so specifically designed to fight Vajra it is pretty far from Anti-VF. That said because it is so powerful due to approximating the legendary abilities of the YF/VF -24 it certainly can handle a fight, as Rod proved in his YF-29B in Macross 30, only really losing to the YF-30 which only had an edge really due to the Fold Dimensional Resonance system. As for the VF-24, as usual it is all speculation but the design for the YF-24 indicated it was more of an anti-ship platform with such gems as using fold boosters to fold into Zentradi lines (or inside big ships) unload hell and fold out before joining the unfortunate giants in firey death. This kind of fighting isn't as useful against another VF but since it is so speced out, it can probably manage.

    Yeah but it's seen they break easily and I think Windermere was relying on Epsilon for support and maintenance a bit so they might not be able to use them long term. They do still have a protoculture ship... But that's the best thing they have...

    He does the Lego thing with all of them early on. You can find lots of pictures of him with VF in Lego form. The man is truly an engineer lol. I get a lot of VF-14 vibes actually. Also hard to tell if it is manned, but it probably is. Interested to see more.

    Even so, I think Mylene despite her teenage confusion had a better future with Gamlin. That said, they have never revealed who she ends up with if anyone. It's not Basara though, cause he could care less.

    The YF-30 does have a specific mission and target... To test the fold dimensional resonance system. It really shouldn't even be a YF prototype cause they don't plan to mass produce it, but SMS lied about it to keep the specs secret. I wonder if they had to pay for that heh. By now federal NUNS probably have all that data anyway. In any case there is no expectation of a fighter based directly on the 30 for actual mission use cause it was never supposed to be that. NUNS could make a new prototype based on it for that if they wanted later to add to the already monster specs of their VF-24 (which probably doesn't even have a fold wave system). Just imagine the colossus of a full spec VF with a functioning FDR.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Master Dex replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Hmm.. I much prefer the Supers to the gawdy armored pack the 31 got, but maybe.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Master Dex replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Not really surprising on the last part, I just figured I'd ask. It does seem a weird oversight on the 31A but it was a special I suppose.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Master Dex replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I know this is a bit old news with the focus on the recent Chuck release and armored packs coming up apparently but I haven't kept up on this thread so two questions: Did the VF-31A ever get super parts and regardless how difficult would it be to get 31F super parts now outside of a private sale (which I may look into)? Same question if the 31A has any I suppose.

    I was on my phone too, we probably just balanced out. Yeah I haven't booked yet either, but I'm expecting I'll be there anyway.

    Are we going back to what is canon again? Lol, this is always fun. Unlike a lot of properties, in Macross what is canon is basically anything from a certain point of view. The only thing that was every strictly termed to be not part of the main universe is Macross II, and even that is not necessarily considered non canon. Seto can say more being the expert on M2, and all around well researched. EDIT: And Seto got in before I finished writing, ever the poised one. Speaking of, will you be at SDcon again this year Seto? I plan to again, after all it's a pretty short trip for me anyway.

    I feel like with Macross this was only a matter of time though.
  12. Master Dex
    I live right on it... It's been a rough couple of days, but I'm doing ok. A lot of my DX VFs lost their shelf spots for now, but nothing broke I think. Small victories. Not most important of course.
  13. Master Dex
    It's worth noting there already is a discord server for SDCon that I've seen a few people from here in. It has some generic chat channels as well as Macross focused stuff aside from the convention related things. It's not especially active, but it is just nice to have options in any case. Doesn't stop me coming here.. you won't get the long form discussions you get here in a Discord chat as the pace is a lot faster in the latter. Forums still have their use, one thing doesn't mean the other is obsolete. In other words, it's possible to have both, but not everyone needs to use both.

    I'll join ya for that! It'd be worth an overnight stay in LA to celebrate that (I live only 3 hours away).
  15. Master Dex
    That was a really quick turn around...
  16. Master Dex
    They're built tough (definitely more than Ford tough), with even their organs being hardy so they can accelerate like crazy and not have everything turn into jelly.. that or they have a natural ISC of their own.. which is not hard to believe considering all the tech that is based on them originally as it is.
  17. Master Dex
    In his case it may just be nostalgia of course, or he was on boats in a past career before joining SMS. It's not a military job so really anything goes there.
  18. Master Dex
    To wit, Max is a Colonal in Macross 7 as well. I think it even gets said on screen once or twice.

    Seto probably will come in shortly with the correct answer, but I suspect they have a natural version of what is the basis of the Fold Organs the Protoculture built into the EVIL series weapons (the biomechanical creatures that would ultimately be taken over by the Protodeviln... well not all of them, the one of Oroborous stayed hidden for a while. Also the Bird-Human might be one too... but it was made a lot later I think). Basically they are naturally derived biomechanical fold reactors. For the Vajra, they run off of fold quartz so they are massively efficient. We also know the Vajra can "mine" (eat) natural fold carbon and the rare natural fold quartz and basically refine it in their bodies. This is why in Frontier the best source for fold quartz was dead Vajra.
  20. Master Dex
    This has been stated for a while since the Frontier TV series ended the Protoculture were heavily inspired by the Vajra (they kinda said as much I the last episode). It's good he still elaborates a bit but I kinda always saw that as pretty clear.

    People are surely not voting based on toy sales. Besides some of those sales are because some people (read: Everyone from this forum, lol) were buying multiple copies of the VF-31A for displays, lol. Doesn't mean more people like this model than any other. If anything the YF-19 makes sense to be in the lead cause new toys keep getting made of it... it clearly is in high demand (as if any VF-1). For good reason of course.

    It's the modern take by Kawamori these days, his views evolve often. Basically everything you see in Macross is a dramatization of unseen 'real' events which may or may not be entirely the same, as the TV series and the movies all portray them a bit differently. This is why later stuff seems to prefer the aesthetic from DYRL, but calls back to the events from SDFM more often. Maybe that is more how the real events were, or maybe not as the show referencing them is also dramatized itself. Did a real guy flying a VF by pushing controls with an acoustic guitar really sing harmonies with space whales? Doesn't sound likely... but it makes a great story, lol.

    That's most likely the GG fansubs. They were very quick and dirty so they could get them out fast, and took a ton of liberties. You won't see the official subs online much (yes some horrible person probably ripped them but it's far less legal).
  24. Master Dex
    Ya know, I accept your terms, but I always thought it was just blood from the reaction warhead detonation.
  25. Master Dex
    Probably, the YF-24 is named Evolution as far as we've seen. We don't know the production name for the Federal NUNS VF-24 though, which has really only been inferred.
