    I've always liked other Macross fans. I'll see myself out. Alternatively you could imagine I put on sunglasses there and the CSI Miami theme began playing.

    I think the covers that slid off to reveal the laser was the ear-things in fact.. which could make the emitter the eyes as stated. That is my current theory.

    Well episode 6 was in an asteroid thicket near a planet with var controlled pilots. They can certainly send the song to any area via fold transmission (as it were) but you are right the ruins are what make it a planetary attack for sure. As for main gun usage, I think they are trying to save such things as signs of big trouble nowadays. SDFM needed the main gun most battles because they were that outgunned (luckily they managed to spice it up with an occasional Daedalus Attack, which only backfired on them once, lol). Macross 7 didn't give us a Battle 7 transformation and gun firing until episode 17 I think it was.. but after that it happened nearly every week, and often with stock footage (one of 7's most notorious sins). Frontier on the other hand didn't show us a New Macross class cannon firing until episode 18, 2/3rds into the series, and it was done is cruiser mode. To wit when Battle Frontier finally did transform in the finale it never even got to fire its cannon (Battle Galaxy did, but it was not a full power shot I think. Though Battle Frontier countered with a Macross Attack to Galaxy's gut which made me squee, lol). Now the movies gave us a lot more Battle Frontier love in terms of transformation and cannon firings, but it seems clear the they are trying more now to limit the reliance on the Heavy Quantum Converging Beam cannons which can become easy win buttons. I bet we'll see Elysion fire it's big gun eventually.. but it may be a while.

    In fact if you look at the mecha section of the Macross Delta official site it shows seperate pics of each of the Draken with and without their add-on packs. You can clearly see there are strap on portions on the legs as well as having the lil Draken on the wings.

    That too, since we got NyanNyan FIRE!! ~ Totsugeki Planet Explosion out of it (Plus Virgin Story, but that one was just a Fire Bomber song). Seems the video of May'n and Fukuyama singing Totsugeki Love Heart isn't on youtube anymore. It was on May'n's own page I think at one point.. maybe studio wanted it taken down. Oh well, there are also videos of them and Megumi Nakajima doing the aforementioned song as well.

    It is funny to me when people compare this to Macross 7 as if 7 is universally considered a bad show. While it definitely is the black sheep of the franchise, that reputation is mostly put on by a subset of Macross fans. It wasn't perfect and had a lot of issues but it was a highly successful show when it aired, and has some of the best music. I grew to enjoy it after taking time to really find things to like in it. More importantly, that and the post this is replying to aren't really related to the DX Sv-262 figure and probably should be in the Movies and TV section instead... so... um... yeah head/nosecone lasers are pretty killer, as they can cause a bit of a Messy situation.... (I'm terrible I know).
  7. Master Dex
    A lot really. Fukuyama-san appeared at one of her concerts to duet Totsugeki Love Heart. Probably more examples. Just search YouTube.

    This is the full series bluray right? It has English subtitles for a reason so I'd hope it sells to America at least...

    I never really doubted this (at least after I learned I was wrong about the YF-29 and 30 having self-folding capability since I misunderstood their tech). I figure though if this was the first for that then they'd make a bigger case of it. Now there does exist a case for the 262 but I'm still skeptical.
  10. Master Dex
    Nah... As this show is, there is a limit to how much Bomba you can sustain. Macross 7 played dangerous games with that limit, lol.

    It would be something of a retcon.. in Plus it was implied it was just his Zentradi nature that made him violent. It was common for first generation and some 2nd generation Zentradi after Space War 1 to not be adapting perfectly. It seems to be that by the time of Delta there are less and less overtly violent Zentradi (then again we have the Zentradi on Galia 4 in Frontier). I am convinced either way that Guld was not suffering any infection.. but merely a psychological issue.

    I think you are good as far as spoilers.. this is the episode 9 thread a week after airing after all, with no episode 10 yet. It's an interesting idea, though we know what happened to Windermere was likely their own fault. At the very least, we know they detonated a Dimensional weapon, blamed it on the NUNS, and it seems to be having a long term effect of some unknown type. The theory that they have damaged their ruins somehow is one I kind of like but it doesn't entirely explain everything yet.
  14. Master Dex
    There's model kits for that. Yeah they aren't DX level sturdy but... still.
  15. Master Dex
    Ah, fascinating... I had mistakenly believed it to be older. So Ex-Gear is just an addition to this or perhaps part of it I guess. Also fighters without Ex-gear must still use it but have different forms of seats and ejection systems (we know this is true of the Draken). The VF-27 counts though... clearly it was designed for cyborgs.
  16. Master Dex
    You answered your own question, heh. Hamera is the right arm carrier yeah. Best we can guess though, it was deployed on a mission at the time of the attack. Fold Wave sure... but ISCs existed before fold quartz was a regular thing right? I guess they did that on earlier fighters with the fold carbon?

    Is there anywhere with translations of the master file books? I know Seto Kaiba on these forums does work with them but I'm not sure if there is any online translation.
  18. Master Dex
    Probably just the crotch plate (from the under fuselage) not folded down correctly.
  19. Master Dex
    I don't recall him saying anything about the Draken's legs in that interview..
  20. Master Dex
    With respect to the SK interview, I had a laugh at how the only reason he isn't doing male singers again is because he doesn't think he can top Basara. Even the creator believes in the legend, lol.
  21. Master Dex
    Nah, I bet they'll have Heinz song activate them remotely I bet so they can impede Delta Squadron by creating Var outbreaks there.EDIT Lol, Eko and I posted the same idea at the same time.

    There is also the fact we haven't seen them exiting fold except for episode one which gave no close up. It is not impossible they are carrying fold boosters and dropping them, then picking them up when they leave. Frontier showed modern boosters are reusable, unlike in 7 and Plus. That being said, the animation of their defold in episode 1 was unique. Blue and spiraly instead of the typical pinkish fold window. Maybe that is an indicator of something unique. If you ask me, I think they shouldn't have changed the space fold aesthetic in Frontier. I liked it better in the older shows with the blinking and that sound effect.
  23. Master Dex
    It's not that strange really.. Battle Frontier was really underutilized in Frontier compared to how often Battle 7 was used in Macross 7. We didn't even see it transform until the last 2 episodes of Frontier. Now the movies gave it a lot more screen time. They also got it taken over by a mind controlled Vajra queen (instead of Battle Galaxy as in the show, which never even showed up... I always wondered if it was destroyed in the initial attack on the Galaxy Fleet in the movie).
  24. Master Dex
    As in the New Macross class battleship connected to the Frontier fleet... it was called Battle Frontier.
  25. Master Dex
    Considering they went through the effort to show Hayate's Battroid arm missing even in fighter mode, it would be disappointing if they did magic gunpods for the 171, worth rechecking. I assume you didn't mean Alto but Hayate... (both blue haired main characters anyway). If so, the VF-31's guns are stored in the forearms and just flip out. They do have a beam gunpod which is part of the backpack but can be detached and held.. though I don't recall that being used in the climax of this episode.
