Graphics and sound update? Sure, sounds good. Bring that in line with modern animation. Keep the story as near to the same as possible, though, junk and all. (Except the recap episode. I don't suppose as we need that. Unless you can pass it off better as more than just a recap) Then again, I'm just a sucker for the level of detailed in a lot of these newer mecha anime. Gundam Unicorn has some fantastic battle scenes.

Because Rainbow Dash is best pony

You mean this one? I think he meant that one. It's good to be back.

Hot damn. That's all that needs to be said.

All this reminds me: I have to re-watch DYRL. Time to queue it up.

A vernier thruster is a small maneuvering rocket, capable of a wide range of precisely controlled thrust levels. To the best of my knowledge, that fits perfectly with what is mounted to VFs. And what the hell is a burner? I thought a burner was what you cooked grilled cheese with.

Sounds like a right festival. Too bad I can't make it >.> In other news, long time no see, guys.

I can do it with the 1/48 VF-1

While I absolutely love the 171, I can't stand the VF-17. It just looks a lot chunkier and boxier, which is something I do not like at all. That said, since the former is a derivative of the latter, it can't be too hard to modify...

Tobe! Barukiri? 0_0

I like the way the paint looks in fighter. Let's call it yes.

I said tits, you said tits, everyone who quoted said tits. TITS! ...So if Basara had tits...

...So, giant alien sacks of tits with jetpacks, firing giant robot machine guns are more believable than badasses with guitars using their main character syndrome to their advantage?

I just assume when he posts "x kg" for a thrust rating, he refers to kgF, because all measurements are done in metric, already. I mean, 1 kgf is 9.8N(kgM/s^2), which corresponds to standard gravity, right? And that translates to 2.2 lbf. I mean, it's just a semantic thing, I guess, writing kg instead of kgf, because it's pretty easy to assume the meaning as the metric equivalent of lbf, in that kind of situation.

Quick skim again, and I can't believe this didn't come to anyone's mind:

Oh, trust me, I have, but those kits cost me between $5 and $10, depending on what and where I bought. That's a good bit less than $15-20.

Where did that come from, and why is it significant? I mean, I assume you mean there's some difference between kg-f and kgm/s/s.

Your use of canon frustrates me because my argument becomes harder to make, and I keep on wanting the 25th anniversary Zero video to be canon. (Implied use of the VF-0, 50 years later, and what appear to be Reaction Turbine plumes, as opposed to carbon-fueled exhaust) All that said, the VF-0 was never designed for combat, and to see it actually have reached it is fairly impressive, not to mention its design at least influenced the VF-1, which was the basis of design for many later models, including the VF-25, at least in Fighter mode. I mean, there's no proof the SV-52s are actually SV-51s, and anyone can rebuild a craft if they reverse engineer it. I could conceivably build my own F-14, given money and facilities, and slap a couple F119s on it, call it an F-17, or whatever designation hasn't been used yet. It would look like an F-14 and act like some new plane, and, well, it'd be a new plane, BASED on the design of the F-14, and not an actual F-14. (Like the VF-1, based on the VF-0, potentially?) The VF-0 is still larger than most VFs to 2059, hinting that newer parts could indeed be swapped into its large airframe (spaceframe?), with some jury-rigging, if necessary. At least, it isn't smaller than a better fighter, so I don't see size issues being a great issue when upgrading. (The switch from the TF30 to the F101 in the Tomcat comes to my mind) Just because a VF uses FAST packs, doesn't make it impossible to upgrade, internally. As far as I can think of, every VF in the animated productions has a FAST pack, and, we still see several variants and upgrades on most of them. I think the use of FAST packs in the VF-0 alludes more to its hastily-converted nature. And let's be honest, the VF-0's fast pack consisted of a couple missile pods and conformal tanks, not dissimilar to the F-16. It seems easier, to me, to bolt gas tanks to the outside, and add a missile pod to a hard point. (Unless you mean the Angel configuration, which, well, was obviously an on-the-spot jury rig) By that logic, the VF-0 should win.

That's also true, Vifam. The big thing is Gundam is a cash cow that appeals to a much larger mass of people than Macross, so they can afford to put out more volume of Gunpla, for cheaper, than Macross merchandise, and, while I respect that, I'd rather be charged $40 or $50 for a MG-level kit, than $15-20 for a NG-level kit. (Actually, in honesty, I've bought better-looking NG kits than this) I mean, I guess I'm not actually part of the target consumer base, but the hassle and cost of shipping that model actually exceeds the price of the model, where I order. So, I'll take my larger quantity of money, buy some Gundam in bulk, and have my (more)cost-effective models. Still, this is Bandai, and I expect better. They usually do it right, but every once in a while, they put out a kit that just fails to impress. This is one such kit.

I dunno, I think they were both pretty Roy. And, come on, he had a good several months to hook up with Claudia after uh... Aries? I can never remember

Yeah, those are pretty good points

Yeah, RG Gundam was like 2000 yen, and it's a fantastic piece of engineering that I wouldn't dream of painting, because I'd actually LOSE detail in that. And they packed it into a tinier package. I can reasonably expect high quality from Bandai for relatively low price.

In other news, WELCOME TO PLOT ENGINEERING 101!

Oh, come on, he couldn't have been going over 120 miles per hour. (You know, Terminal Velocity and all that) That wind isn't enough to rip a canopy from its mounts.
