1st Border Red Devil Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Ok, I've already noted there are several ship types that do not conform to the standard Zentraedi type ship, including a few that showed up in Do You Remember, Love? as Meltrandi ships (and are even seen in SDF Macross in Meltrandi purple hull colouration). What I want to know is what in the frell is this ship and what its classification is, if any? Quote
Mechamaniac Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Is that the best screen cap you can find?. It's pretty hard to make out anything other than random ship shapes coming out of the explosions in the background. Also - Edited your title to reflect the "Macross" episode title, not Rowboatech.

VF5SS Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 It appears to be a Zentradi ship as drawn with the wings from Harlock's Arcadia. Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 It appears to be a Zentradi ship as drawn with the wings from Harlock's Arcadia. I believe a Zeon ship appears later as well. Quote
Knight26 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 It is unnamed zent type #5676931 COme on do we really care? Quote
the white drew carey Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 It is unnamed zent type #5676931 COme on do we really care? Apparently someone does. p.s.- Dude, you are on the longest honeymoon ever! Quote
sketchley Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I wouldn't be surprised if, under close scrutiny, more references and anime 'in-jokes' will be spotted in DYRL. It was produced pre-digital age, and as the movie already has the beer-missiles... Quote
Mephistopheles Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 That ship also appears in beginning of DYRL. It's a very small ship that fires a fairly large beam from the nose of the craft. It's about as big as the zentradi scout ship. Quote
sketchley Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 It's not a ship. It's a large-sized mecha. I believe it is called the Golg Gants Charts (going by http://macross.anime.net//mecha/index.html ) This website calls it the Heavy Figher: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/heavyfighter.htm (there's an image of it.) This one (RPG stats, but it has multiple line-art views of the vessel) refers to it as a Golg Gants Charts (Heavy Attacker): http://unsd.macrossroleplay.org/zentraedi_golggants.html Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 It appears again, apparently in DYRL, but I don't think its the Golg Gants. If I had to guess, maybe at least 100m in length/width, if not more. Here is a grainy pic of it from DYRL, but of course it doesn't shed anymore light onto how big it is. Quote
JB0 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 It appears again, apparently in DYRL, but I don't think its the Golg Gants. If I had to guess, maybe at least 100m in length/width, if not more.

STARFOX IS GONNA KICK SOME ZENTRAN ASS! Seriously, I know it's the wrong time period and everything, but that IS what it looks like in that pic. Quote
Morpheus Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 It appears again, apparently in DYRL, but I don't think its the Golg Gants. If I had to guess, maybe at least 100m in length/width, if not more. Here is a grainy pic of it from DYRL, but of course it doesn't shed anymore light onto how big it is. Its probably a Meltran ship, a command ship class probably. link As for the first pic, its the Arcadia (hides) Quote
Mephistopheles Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 It's not a Meltran ship as it appears only with Zentradi forces. Also, the Meltran ship isn't what were are referring to. The Meltran ship int he picture looks nothing like the Zentran ship in question. Watch the DYRL battle scene in the beginning where the fight reaches the Macross. You can see a few of these Zentran ships blasting away at the Macross. Quote
lord_breetai Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) It appears to be a Zentradi ship as drawn with the wings from Harlock's Arcadia. Another clearer shot of the Arcadia... you know with all the impossible situations Leiji Matsumoto has come up with for Harlock to be in while still saying it's the same universe and same harlock... I'd almost accept that he could have been at the battle against Bodolza! Edited October 12, 2006 by lord_breetai Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 Finally got my restored set... Those are at least a little cleaner. Its clearly a capital vessel of some sort. Rather large too, I guess at least the size of the Picket, if not bigger. Quote
lord_breetai Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 it is as previously state/shown from a front angle Captain Harlock's Arcadia here... compare it's just flying upside down compared to the rest of the fleet but it's the same ship. Quote
briscojr84 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 it is as previously state/shown from a front angle Captain Harlock's Arcadia here... compare it's just flying upside down compared to the rest of the fleet but it's the same ship. Looks a little short and stubby to be the Arcadia plus the rear isn't the same shape. Quote
Zinjo Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Isn't that the Zentran macross canon gunship? I could be wrong.... Though I DO want to know where the arcadia is in DYRL love (assuming it IS in there to begin with)... Lord Brettai Edited October 24, 2006 by Zinjo Quote

Lord Brettai While the small guncannon/ship does have wings they aren't pointed like that and is shaped differently. Quote
Boxer Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Hey cool! Another thing I can extraploate on and stick in the M:DYRL? mod It's got the Arcadian wings, but it's much too short and stubby to be the Arcadia herself. Looks like it even has legs from here. As for the Arcadia...well...some day someone's going to compile a list of sightings on this ship. I wonder if they continue... Quote
