How does a Variable Fighter move?
Chief Guld Goa Bowman replied to Firefighter Destroid's topic in Movies and TV Series
This is my interpretation of the Fighter Mode/Battroid/Gerwalk Controls from watching DYRL?, Macross Plus, Macross 7, Macross Zero, Macross Frontier. Fighter Mode The fighter has two modes of flight, forward flight and short VTOL. The foot pedals control the vector nozzles(pitch and roll for vertical thrust vectoring and yaw for horizontal thrust vectoring(VF-17/VF-171)). The YF-21/VF-22 had four vector pedals for the three-dimensional thrust vectoring which controlled pitch, yaw and roll. The flight stick controls the pitch and roll while the yaw is done by buttons on the stick unless the VF has four pedals like the YF-21/VF-22. The trigger on the flight stick allows for tighter high G maneuvers (Ismau uses the trigger pitching up the fighter during his sky writing). Just like battroid and gerwalk mode, the throttle controls the thrust. Also like the other two modes the weapons are on the flight stick while the flight systems are on the throttle unless the VF has another throttle that controls the flight systems like the YF-21/VF-22 or VF-1(DYRL? and SDF Macross). The gunpod(s) in fired by the trigger on the throttle(YF-19/VF-19 and VF-11) while the missiles are fired with flight stick. The targeting system uses the eyes and head for manual targeting for specific targets(Roy Focker and Ozma Lee) and also has automated targeting. Battroid Mode The battroid has one mode of flight, hover mode. The foot pedals allow it to move forward or rearward, while the flight stick controls the posture must like pitch and roll in fighter mode. The Yaw buttons are on the flight since the pedals are already used for movement unless the VF has four pedals like the YF-21/VF-22. The trigger on the flight stick combined with stick moving left or right allows it to strafe in the given direction. The Throttle controls the thrust and along with the combination of a button allows the battroid the ascend or descend by opening or closing the throttle. The weapons systems are on the flight stick while the flight systems are on the throttle unless the VF has another throttle that controls the flight systems like the YF-21/VF-22 or VF-1(DYRL? and SDF Macross). The gunpod(s) in fired by the trigger on the throttle(YF-19/VF-19 and VF-11) while the missiles are fired with flight stick. The targeting system uses the eyes and head for manual targeting for specific targets(Roy Focker and Ozma Lee) and also has automated targeting. A button or switch on the flight stick allows the pilot to control a hand(s) pick up objects like a rock like Roy or Guld picking up Isamu's gunpod. Gerwalk Mode The gerwalk has two modes of flight, forward flight and hover mode(for hover mode see battroid mode). The forward flight operates much like a helicopter. The foot pedals are used to control the legs/vector nozzles and also air brakes. The flight stick controls the roll and pitch, while the yaw is done with buttons on the stick unless the VF has four pedals like the YF-21/VF-22. The trigger on the flight stick allows for tighter high G maneuvers (Isamu uses the trigger while pitch up YF-19 in gerwalk during his nosedive in the movie. Just like battroid and fighter mode, the throttle controls the thrust. Also like the other two modes the weapons are on the flight stick while the flight systems are on the throttle unless the VF has another throttle that controls the flight systems like the YF-21/VF-22 or VF-1(DYRL? and SDF Macross). The gunpod(s) in fired by the trigger on the throttle(YF-19/VF-19 and VF-11) while the missiles are fired with flight stick. The targeting system uses the eyes and head for manual targeting for specific targets(Roy Focker and Ozma Lee) and also has automated targeting. A button or switch on the flight stick allows the pilot to control a hand(s) pick up objects like Alto picking up Ranka and Hikaru picking up Misa. -
How does a Variable Fighter move?

How does Klan, the other members of Pixie Squadron or Themjin control the Queadluuns. I know the control system has wires connected to the fingers, but exactly how does that work? -

I demand some VF-171 in action, and please Kawamori, show us the Batroid or the Gerwalk mode at least in one frame. Your not the only one who wants to see more of the VF-171. The only time we had seen the battroid mode was in the flashback of Michael's sister shooting her ex and that shot was just a quick flash.
