DarkReaper

Why should he need Models, he has his own private army and a hangar full of valkyries. He already is the ultimate valk nut.

The worst I have seen yet is when the camera zooms out of the Vf-25 cockpit in the beginning and it transforms from the nicely rounded drawn cockpit to the triagonal cgi cockpit. I guess they have to keep the polycount down a tad to lessen the cost for all those renderfarms. Also very visible in the opening of ep 1 where you see that the cgi model of island 1 looks a bit like a Flight simulator 95 landscape. I would guess the valkyries have about 75k-100k polys, they would have to bump them up to 500k polys to make them relatively smooth but rendering time would increase exponentially.

The cities also actually are octagonal instead of clam shaped.

Site was offline for maintenance since morning. Now it's online again.

Here is the best picture I could get of Battle 25

It's hard to tell, but does this look like battle 25 to you? Either it's tiny or frontier is friggin' huge.

I don't think that space could have cooled it down fast enough, after all in space energy can only be dissipated by radiation which isn't a very effective process, especially with such a huge heat capacity a planet has. In any way depending on core temperature most of it may already have vaporised when there wasn't enough pressure anymore to keep it in it's liquid-solid state. If it dissipated energy through expansion there would still be a whole lot of material floating out there until the gravity would eventually catch it again. Besides it would have looked way cooler to see a fiery inferno spewing forth from the planet, instead of pac-man eating lunch.

Yeah that's what disturbed me most about the ravaged planet. For it to look like that it would have to be a geologically dead and cold planet like the moon. I would have expected it to look more like that ,except with the left side still intact. The way they depicted it made it look more like a joke. I guess the bomb somehow "cauterized", flash-cooled or whatever the liquid core at it's boundary and the rest of the planet didn't have time to go through any changes yet. As the bomb doesn't explode and deposit any energy into the planet but rather simply made anything it comes into contact with to disappear, it would explain the latter but not how there's no magma especially as the bomb reached deep into the mantle. The sudden loss of pressure from all the upper layers of stone vanishing would have meant that the magma would have violently expanded. Now depending on if the pressure change already occurs progressively while the bomb is still active, it could happen that all the ejecta vanished as well and the rest of the core cooled down accordingly. If the pressure change happens instantanously when the bomb imploded would mean a plume of magma shooting out of the planet, sort of like a volcano the size of Gallia 4.

Well, Macross 7 introduced the jamming birds quite late into the series as well as Emerald force. Now of course none of them were fleshed out but atleast they got airtime.

Looks to me like Bandai wants to sell VF-171 toys, what with them featuring so prominently in this episode complete with nuclear armament. Well, personally I can't wait for them to show it in the making.

Product Overview: This item is an action toy, with some die-cast metal parts, of a science fiction/anime character or item. It does not require either cement or paint to complete or use. it's the toy.

Sort of like a Mule then.

No wonder Mikhael is a hit with the girls then. He can boing anyone without any remorse as he has safer sex built in as standard.

Uhm, Media Player Classic homecinema version. The best there is.

Feels like they are advancing the storyline too fast.

The details on those action figures are amazing. No wonder they cost a fortune.

My FP version has really loose joints though. So they didn't fix that.

So any reliable fixes for the loose knee swivel joint, shoulder joint, and all the arm joints yet? The whole arm area is a floppy mess for me. It's the Foldildo version btw.

What about making a Veritech out of the YF-23? It was the design inspiration for the yf-21 after all. It was better looking than the YF-22 anyway.

I can only speak for the ovas atm, as my series torrent hasn't finished yet, but the remastered image quality is mind-blowingly good. The images are unbelievably sharp and crisp. Easily on par with Macross Frontier or Macross Plus. Altough with slightly less animation frames obviously. Just look at that beautiful armored VF-11!

Couldn't you also simply put a cut-up felt pad in that position or would it scruff the plastic too much. I think those cables with the glue remannts will mark the nose after a few transformations.

Damn, I thought that was the 1/60. Those GN-U toys are quite detailed though.

That Shield also looks huge.

Maybe it's perspective screwing with me but aren't those feet a bit huge? They seem to be half as long as the entire leg assembly.
