Well, we've seen that active stealth can make a craft disappear from radar altogether in Mac Plus episode 1. In episode 4 however,as they're defolding and preparing to fly into Earth, Yang mentions to Isamu that the probability of their active stealth keeping Earth's defenses from detecting them is 58%. So it seems that the arms race in terms of LO tech vs. sensors seems to move so quickly that stealth tech isn't as effective as it is today IRL.

If your good enough, you should be able to take out a 25 with nothing but a guitar and the power of song.

Sheryl For simply being one of the most interesting and well developed characters I've had the pleasure of watching in a TV series.

They found a hyper talented, annoyingly emo (and possibly disturbingly pretty) macronized teenage zentraedi kid and let him into the bridge.

Downloading the THORA releases since they're the only DVD release I can find at the moment. Still, I'm kinda considering getting another set of subs in case I find the THORA ones iffy (I've only seen their Yack! Deculture release so far though).

But why the Three Musketeers when you can have the Three Amigos instead? All that's missing is a Ghost V-9 named El Guapo that does not kill crying women.

Dusty Bottoms, Lucky Day and Ned Nederlander.

Well, we still don't have a proper count of how many extra beam cannons the later NMC carriers have. However, the NMC's do seem to be more dependent on their fighter screen than the original Macross class.

Looks like what would happen if Bobby and the bridge bunnies had their way.

Gaia, Mash and Ortega.

Fourthed! I say we celebrate with a song! Saza hajimaruze SATURDAY NIGHT Choshi ha dodai, LET'S STAND UP. BEAT wo kanjirukai

I shall name them Mylene, Ray and Vefidas. And they shall be outfitted with sound boosters and speaker pods and their controls linked to my guitar-stick

No, I believe that name is reserved for Battle Frontier, nicknamed the "Big Mac" as it flies alongside the "Quarter Pounder".

Agreed! You don't cast Kikuko Inoue, someone who's range goes from A!MG's Belldandy to MGS3's the Boss if you don't plan to use her to the fullest. I am of the opinion that you need to change your username to Luca-kun or something.

I've already submitted my application for residence in South Ataria as well as the necessary papers to have my named changed. All I need is to grow my hair and dye it blue then I'm gonna get myself some hot meltran loving and 7 kids.

Currently doing a SDFM marathon at home, I'm 1/3 of the way through. From what I've seen, there's a lot of small homages/parallelisms/similarities in Frontier that we (or at least I) may have missed.

I loled. Off course to steer things backs to Macross (and away from Philippine high society), you'd have to ad Bilrer to the list.

It doesn't look like Sheryl. It's like some underaged, overendowed asian loligoth chick trying to cosplay as Sheryl. Sheryl is a bit more normally proportioned and more on the lean and slightly toned side.

Well it does make more sense from a maintenance point of view, since with a PPB system, the blade itself doesn't really touch whatever it's cutting trhough which means less wear and tear on it.

I wouldn't say that Basara-sama is a loli, it's more like he's not really a fan of DFCs.

What? No Basara - guitar - everyone else?

Part of me is hoping that Grace isn't dead and that she's once again being rebuilt in a Cylon res... Galaxie's city section. Can't keep a good woman/villain down I always say.

It could simply be a matter of choice. Mao probably get's more freebies that way. Besides, who knows what she has hidden in that wheelchair - for all we know it actually turns into a EX-Gear.

I'm sure alot of us "veterans" remembered the fact that the lead character in a Macross TV series usually either "dies" or at least gets shot up badly in before or during the big fight.

I believe we were discussing this same issue of valk control in another thread some weeks back. Last I remember, we were all speculating that it was some sort of AI system that was able to predict what the pilot wanted through a combination of certain inputs, eye movement tracking, etc.
