do not disturb Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 so i finally finished watching the macross TV series and noticed that in one of the episodes(on disc 7 i think?, the one with the big space battle and all teh VF's got FP's), they showed some other mecha outside of VFs and the destroids. am i crazy or were there other mecha?

HWR MKII Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 see this thread its basically the same topic http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=12186 or vice versa but i think the mecha your referring to was from the Orgus series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 There were several "prototype" and Custom mechs in that battle, the most notable is the "Orgus Valk" which is a super VF-1A with Orguss armor parts on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 now that my projector is running again give me some key parts to look at and ill see if i can ID any of them over the next few days. i remember seeing a quick glimpse of a VE-1 elint in the mass fleet shot in the same episode.

do not disturb Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 at first glance i thought it was an orguss but the animation is so quick and dark its hard to tell what it was. a super 1A with orguss armor huh? i thought orguss was an entirely seperate from macross no?

hellohikaru Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It was an easter egg. Kawamori and gang also work on SDC Orguss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 there is a clearer pic of something similar that looks like an orgus and a VF1A had a child. i saw it flying in space in a combat scene. i think a model was even made of it.

do not disturb Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 i'll try a grab a screen shot of it or atleast more details on exactly which scene i'm speaking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 That particular thing is called an Orguss Valk, though sometimes incorrectly referred to as a Jotun Valk. If you do a web search and/or forum search on those terms, you'll find all you really need. As noted above, it's an Easter egg, not a canonical design. Similar to how you can see Captain Harlock's ship somewhere in Macross (I think in the same episode), or the old ASCII Star Trek game being played on one of computer terminals on the bridge at one point. There may also be a VEFR "Funny Chinese" in that ep., which is almost but not quite a VE-1. I think there were also some Lancer II's in the battle, but I'm not sure.

VF-18S Hornet Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 You talking about this? Hey you can see Mari IIjima and Mika Doi's name on two of the Phalanxs destriods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 The Orguss Valk looks like a prototype armor design for the VF-1. The VF in the picture above has a similar chest plate. There should be a picture of it here somewhere. There's the phalanx varient and a hurriedly repaired VF-1 battloid in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull00 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You talking about this? Hey you can see Mari IIjima and Mika Doi's name on two of the Phalanxs destriods. Yeah I own the TV box set but never noticed that before. Even though it doesn't have the Orgroid in it that screen grab is so interesting. All the graffitti the animators put in. I wonder if the girls face on the Phalanx closest to the screen is supposed to be anyone? I can't make out the characters under her picture..

ewilen Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 We had a couple threads about the picture a while back, where we were able to identify most of the references. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=6481 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=6216 I think the VF-1A is just wearing GBP-1S armor in this picture.

briscojr84 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Whats up with the other VF-1A it looks like it's either go three arms or missiles haning from it's shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
