Mr March Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks for the kind words fellas. I'm glad you all love the site. Speaking of the fans, I was recently contacted by my first Japanese fan. His name is Hiromo and he operates a fan blog, which has recently featured my website. The blog is all Japanese of course, but for those fans who are interested, go take a peek at his corner of the internet. He has some fantastic custom models of the Macross ships. Very good stuff. Hiromo's Blog Great to see fans enjoying the site from around the world.

Whenever I have a mecha question, it's the first place I go...and the pics are awesome.
Chief Guld Goa Bowman Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Mr. March, The Macross Champion thanks you for all your hard work!
Sumdumgai Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 When it comes to referencing mecha in Macross, The Macross Mecha Manual is the first place I go for pics and diagrams. It's also first place I go for usage information, as the Compendium is lacking in that area.

It's also first place I go for usage information, as the Compendium is lacking in that area. *Nods* Indeed. Hey March when are gonna give the RVF-171 some love? Yeah I know it's just a VF-171 packed with a radome but it is the first Valkyrie we saw in Frontier.
sucker4meltrans Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Mr March you need to add Grace and Breara to the M3.
Mr March Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Sumdumgai and Chief Guld Goa Bowman Thanks fellas. I'm happy the site works well as a reference. RedWolf I was hoping some good shots from a magazine or book would become available so I didn't have to use in-show screen shots. But I'll put something together for it using screen shots. sucker4meltrans I'm not sure why. They may be cyborgs or full machines, but they are definitely more character than mecha. Including them would require entries for other cyborgs like Britai, Exedol or Bodolzaa (thinking DYRL here) and I don't think that really works for the mandate of the site.
RedWolf Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Oh yeah give the current generation of ghost its proper designation too AIF-7S Ghost.
sucker4meltrans Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) come on mr. march we know grace is more machine then man. Edited September 10, 2008 by sucker4meltrans

Hey I noticed your japanese fan made the Uraga model I was swooning about in another thread, could you maybe ask him if he is still selling those models? If he can understand your website I guess he does understand some english.
d3v Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 come on mr. march we know grace is more machine then man. And after episode 21, we all that she's also all woman. rawrrr
badboy00z Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 You might want to update the VF-25's "Accommodation" to pilot and optional passenger.
Mr March Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Dark Reaper We communicate via simplistic translation, so it's not too accurate. Just send him an e-mail (in very simple language) and he should let you know. He's a very nice chap. badboy00z Ah, good point. I'll make a note.
RedWolf Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 I know we have several days till we see it March. Ep 24 was our first glimpse at Battle 21 aka Battle Galaxy.
David Hingtgen Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 You know, that flashed by so fast I didn't realize it wasn't Brera's VF-27 until people started talking about it.
Mr March Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 I never even noticed. Big thanks to RedWolf for the screen shot.

Morpheus Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks Mr.March. Maybe you can numerous CIWS for the Vajra gunship, since we can see it firing all the way in epi.7.
Mr March Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Good idea. Change made and page updated. Make sure to hit refresh when revisiting.
Sulendil Ang Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Macross Zero Section Destroid Cheyenne Finally, my (wet) dream comes true! I'm almost certain that you might forget about it and not adding it to M3 forever... BTW, nice update! Keep up the good job!
Dante74 Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Finally, my (wet) dream comes true! I'm almost certain that you might forget about it and not adding it to M3 forever... BTW, nice update! Keep up the good job! According to the M3 it'll be deployed this month. Wouldn't that be awesome.
RedWolf Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) The VF-0 two seater variant VF-0D isn't there yet though. The VF-0S is Focker's special leader VF while the VF-0A is their cannon fodder but the VF-0D doesn't have the same variable wing configuration as the other two. Instead it has a canard wing configuration. Edited September 24, 2008 by RedWolf
Chief Guld Goa Bowman Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Mr. March, wasn't the Queadluun-Rea part of the NUNS Naval/Marine Fleet and Tehmzin did pilot one on Galia 4.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 September 23, 2008 Minor Update Minor, but GREAT update!!! Top notch as usual
taksraven Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Good idea. Change made and page updated. Make sure to hit refresh when revisiting. Fantastic stuff, thanks for the updates, just in time. The VF-171EX Super is chunky as all hell but still a nice looking machine. Taksraven
Mr March Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 I hope everyone is enjoying the Master List of Macross Mecha, since it was such a widely requested feature Sulendil Ang Well, thank the Macross Chronicle. They finally had some Macross Zero artwork inside. And it's about damn time some of it was published Dante74 LOL! I never even noticed. How bizarre RedWolf The Macross Zero section is limited by what has been published. Without fan magazines (to which I don't have access) the only line art available for Macross Zero is very limited. I'm hoping the Macross Chronicle will eventually solve all those problems. Chief Guld Goa Bowman Good point. It would just be a duplicate entry anyway, but good point. I don't have any line art for the green fellow, but I could try fudging it like the VF-27. Won't look very good though Ignacio Ocamica Thank you. I rushed it out without a lot of material just to make the finishing episode of Frontier. Thought it would help fans for the finale. Taksraven I like the poses for the VF-171EX better than the current batch of shots we have for the VF-171, especially the battroid mode.

Morpheus Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I wonder how Battle Galaxy loos like in Cruiser mode.
DarkReaper Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I wonder how Battle Galaxy loos like in Cruiser mode. The only real difference I could see between Frontier and Galaxy, except the colour of course, is in the head and shoulders. Galaxy has two gigantic rail cannons ala SDF-1 for shoulders while Frontiers are more like Battle 7's. Cruiser mode of both ships should look pretty much the same, except that Galaxy has larger frontal armament and a weird looking bridge on it.
ChrisG Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but doesn't one of the vessels located at the rear of the Macross 11 fleet look like a Three-Star class ship?

Galaxy has two gigantic rail cannons ala SDF-1 for shoulders while Frontiers are more like Battle 7's. Cruiser mode of both ships should look pretty much the same, except that Galaxy has larger frontal armament and a weird looking bridge on it. Hmmm...and the Galaxy looks like it has articulated fingers too, compared to Battle Frontier and MQuarter. To me it looked like an oversized VF-27
VF-25 Messiah Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Hmmm...and the Galaxy looks like it has articulated fingers too, compared to Battle Frontier and MQuarter. To me it looked like an oversized VF-27 All NMC carriers have hands with articulated fingers, Battle Frontier included. I seem to recall that Quarter has a hand too in the arm with the flight deck, it uses to support its main cannon when firing.
VF-25 Messiah Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but doesn't one of the vessels located at the rear of the Macross 11 fleet look like a Three-Star class ship? Believe you're right about that. Also, Macross 11 kind of looks like a predecessor to the island cluster class of colonization vessels. Is it me or is the Three-Star connected to the City block like an island as well? Scale seems to be comparable to Macross 7, so it's a lot smaller than Frontier. Also wondering what those the blue spires are...
