Indeed. I believe beam weaponry in the Valkyries is even more effective in the new models too. But the position of the head lasers in the dorsal area clearly indicates more of a dog-fighting/defensive role than an attack/intercepting one in fighter mode like the old valkyries had. Err... Actually the weight of the Esbeliben Regult (37 tons) is due to its bigger size (check the size comparison pic from Nue) and just by inspecting its official line-art by Kiyomi Tanaka most of its mass seems to be distributed in the weapons, avionics, electronics, very big and long robotic legs and their mechanisms, reactor and mecha thrusters... Most of its cockpit seems to be just empty space inside a bubble with the pilot sitting in the reactor furnace... I really can't see any re-inforced shielding on it (like, say... the multiple panels on the Valkyrie in battroid mode...). It just makes sense since Zentradi are very very big so their mecha cockpit design has to have a bigger "space to armor" ratio compared to that of the valkyries. From a tactical point of view is logical to assume that's the reason why the Zentradi Regult pilots are issued Heavier Body Armor than, say... the Zentradi Field Soldiers who actually have Light Armor and are supposedly more exposed and do not have any Regult mecha "armor protection"... So basically the Regult is just a heavy armored Zentradi in a thin metallic bubble with lots of energy weapons (6), 2 huge multi-directional thrusters and 2 very big big legs... (oh, and a reactor as pilot chair to power all that up...).

That Ranka is unbelievable good... Nice find... U should post it in the Macross Cosplay Thread...

Damn... 4chan is down again... Danbooru shall be enough in the meantime... Btw... After seeing the second pic... I just realised that... I'm really really missing Raramia...

I actually think that the placement has a lot to do with function. In later valkyries it seems to work just as a last ditch defensive gun against other fighters (that's why we don't see it used that much... Alto vs Brera in Episode 13 could be an exception). In the VF-0 and the original valkyrie it was more of a fighter-fighter/air-ground attack weapon... (which Roy used with great effectiveness in the original series... perhaps due to SW I Zentradi fighter/mecha being poorly armored).

I agree with you about the existence of a Vajra King (already mentioned that theory a while ago)... But I hardly believe fold dislocations are produced by the Vajra at all. They seem to be able to overcome/dominate them though...

If somebody deliberately threw a wasp nest at you, getting the hell away from the wasps and their nest would be the smartest thing to do. Trust me... If u try to kill them they'll just keep stinging at you... I believe the whole point here is that Frontier is a Colonization Fleet, by no means a War/Attack fleet. Glass knows it. That's why he had been trying to avoid open/total War with the Vajra. But now Leon has him in his pocket thanks to Grace... Yes, right now the Frontier fleet has the upper hand... But their reaction weaponry isn't infinite. And the Vajra's areas of influence are very very vast... (Btw, does somebody have a pic of those?).

Whatever it is I bet that the Megaroad 01 crew are the only ones who know... Wherever they are... Btw... I don't know why, but I believe these 2 images may be related somehow...

For me, the coolest in-your-face psychopathic/sociopathic villain ever has been and always will be Quamzin Kravshera...

Is that you, Sivil? BOMBA!!!

Sorry, but And since

It seemed more like the name of a tour, hehe... Btw... Does anybody has the pic from next episode's preview where a chibi Ranka appears?

Indeed... I believe all the cyborgs from Galaxy are mindless zombies by now...

4chan is back online...

Does anybody knows the DVD recording speed recommended for compatibility with most players?

Sadly, the only new Pixies Team art I've found is the cover of an adult publication...

Maybe that's why he likes trains so much... The railroads

Wow... Thx for the info. Updated wiki with those as usual, hehe... Btw... Does refer to ?

Now it all makes more sense...

Go here... I wonder how powerful Galaxy forces really are... Their VF-27s seem pretty dangerous and I bet they could cause lots of damage in the Frontier Colony (to its defense fleet above all)... And don't forget that Galaxy has technologies that seem far superior than those of Frontier... So I believe we haven't seen anything yet... And

It could be related to the Vajra's diverse areas of influence, does anybody has a pic of the map shown during Episode 15...?

Whoa... Just imagine an entire fleet of Birdmen... Holy be-jeezus!!!

Rancan... Btw... Some moar art...

Found these at Deviant art...

U mean hacked? Wow... Too bad...

Sorry. I really don't know. I found it in Danbooru... Btw... I haven't been able to connect to 4Chan in a while. Does anybody know what's going on? Is the site down?
