UN Spacy Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 What about Komiria's? Is that the regular DYRL helmet? Quote
Aegis! Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Ok , I think one things is to just love the original series and a whole other thing is to to let that passion blind us when talking about design value. That´s just my opinion though. Anyway , for me it would be like this : 1- Macross Zero Anti-UN helmets 2- Macross Zero VF-0 helmets 3- VF-X2 Ravens Helmet 4- VF-X helmet 5- DYRL helmet 6- M+ Isamu´s helmet 7- SDF VF-1 helmet M7 VF-11 helmets are particularly ugly , along with the Varuta fighters helmets .

That´s just my opinion though. we're not being blinded. its an anime. we're appreciating their effort that they put into the designs. its the same as mechs. some ppl like one mech over another. all designs. we're just discussing designs that are less significant.

Anything new will have a much higher chance of being more aesthetically pleasant than older designs , with some rather impressive exceptions of course. Quote

scand Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Isamu, helmet is the coolest. Only followed by Hikaru's sdf helmet. Male Zentradi helmets are pure cheese! Quote
Druna Skass Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 The VFX2 helmet looks a bit Macross II-ish to me. Toss up between Zero and Plus. Though the helmet on the TV Zentran heavy armor didn't look too bad either. Quote
USCOLMRNE Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Macross Plus and Macross VFX helmets are the best in my opinion. The VFX space suit Helmets look a tadd different, less pointy on the front. The chest plate is completely different, other than that suit looks the same. Only hardcore Macross gamers will notice the difference. DYRL comes after. The main true thing I like about Macross Zero was the realistic flight suits, those are the best in my opinion Quote
Agent ONE Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 DYRL... No contest here. Macross 2 was the lamest. Quote
Nightbat Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 DYRL... No contest here.Macross 2 was the lamest. High praise from someone hating M7 [AgentOne]"M... what? I don't know anything starting with 'M' and ending with '3+4' "[/AgentOne] Quote
Zentrandude Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 DYRL to me best. followed by M0. ones i think are lame. isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. most of the m7 helms Quote
peter Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 DYRL to me best.followed by M0. ones i think are lame. isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. most of the m7 helms The M7 helmet I hated the most belonged to the guy who flew the stealth-looking Valkrie (if you can really call that a valkrie....looked like it was going to tip forward whenever in gerwalk) Quote
Prime Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. Indeed. In some shots he looks like a bobblehead. Quote
LinxCrossq Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. Indeed. In some shots he looks like a bobblehead. Finally someone agrees with me. Isamu's helmet looks funny Quote
AlphaHX Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. Indeed. In some shots he looks like a bobblehead. then what does gamlin look like? Quote
valk1j Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Love DYRL helmets, followed by SDF Macross. I agree that Isamu's helmet is to big and fugly. Quote
AlphaHX Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Love DYRL helmets, followed by SDF Macross. I agree that Isamu's helmet is to big and fugly. You know, all this big helmet talk got me thinking... Shouldnt they be using different helmets in space as opposed to on Earth? Kind of like today... big for space and small for sky...? I just thought it was kind of weird that all the helmets in macross, sdfm, dyrl, macII were all relatively small until it got to macplus, mac7 where the planes started to have both sky/space capability in the sense that they can launch from the ground but was able to go into space. Then in maczero, the helmets got smaller again. I dunno... was just thinking that maybe kawamori decided to do this after dyrl/flashback. Quote
striderhiryu Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 my favorite helmets: 1.- roy`s helmet in mac zero 2.- anti-UN helmet 3.- aegis`s helmet in VF-X2 4.- VF-X digital mission helmet 5.- DYRL helmet 6.- 1/48 low viz pilot`s helmet 7.- gamlin`s helmet Quote
peter Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head. Indeed. In some shots he looks like a bobblehead. then what does gamlin look like? Yes! That's him! The 2nd guy from the right! I hate him! He had a brutal haircut. The helmet he sported didn't help his cause. Quote
Prime Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 then what does gamlin look like? I didn't say that Isamu was the only one that looked like a bobblehead. Quote
AlphaHX Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 then what does gamlin look like? I didn't say that Isamu was the only one that looked like a bobblehead. hehe, good point. Gamlin is super bobblehead! Its interesting that Gamlin and Guld has similar helmets... Quote
LinxCrossq Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Yeah, they are very similar and still a lot of people say "Plus all the way" and Gamlin's helmet sucks... Good thing Basara doesn't use a helmet, I can't imagine how it's be Quote
Ido Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Civilian need valks but not space flight suit and helmets. Quote
AlphaHX Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Yeah, they are very similar and still a lot of people say "Plus all the way" and Gamlin's helmet sucks...Good thing Basara doesn't use a helmet, I can't imagine how it's be Well, when ppl say "Plus all the way" I think theyre talking about Isamu's helmet. I see the reason why Guld's helmet is big but why is Gamlins big? Civilian need valks but not space flight suit and helmets. Hahahah... another great aspect of Mac7. Quote
macplus Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) Hahahah... another great aspect of Mac7. Another shamefull and lame aspect of M7 would be a more accurate selection of words Edited November 19, 2004 by macplus Quote
LinxCrossq Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Well, when ppl say "Plus all the way" I think theyre talking about Isamu's helmet Of corse they do but if you say Plus you are impliying Guld's helmet whether they like it or not. I think Basara not using a space suit add a lot to his character. Quote
AlphaHX Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Hahahah... another great aspect of Mac7. Another shamefull and lame aspect of M7 would be a more accurate selection of words hahah, I was being sarcastic. I like ur description just fine. Quote

chillyche Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Obviously the best is the Macross Aria M3 variant. Wait... did nobody want an update to a 17 year old thread? Quote
