1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) I just think the foot thrusters could be useful for boost-assisted 'hopping' as opposed to hover. (backpack thruster in battroid mode could handle most of the work) So while it hops in the air using the backthrusters, (in battroid mode) the feet thrusters kind of guide the jump or slow it to absorb the shock from a fall. (just enough power to slow down as opposed to hover. The legs would be in a position to act as counter thrust for corrections in mid jump) I would love to see that detail put on the toy. I bet it has smallish hands though. Hopefully these (and the wrists they are attached to) will be strong enough to grip the gunpods properly. Edited August 16, 2007 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Chindenathus Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Here you guys go. A better view of the 21's under foot. Looks like a Macross/UNSpacy "Buster"(#) Vernier tucked up in a focusing bell the arch. I would think it would help with ballancing in Gerwalk, and battloid, especially while in space. (#) Buster as in "I ain't afraind of no ghost", basically those little circles with the lines through them that are verniers all ove rthe VF-1.)
dizman Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Its not a booster, its a large screw to keep the foot in place !
Mr March Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 So, even if "only to match the -19's abilities" a -21 needs a good chunk of lifting thrust from the main engines, via the louvers. I have to do a minor rewrite of the YF-21 profile to use that word. Louver. Cool
VFTF1 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 You know... I've noticed something that keeps coming up every so often in posts - both in this thread and in others... Namely this "my wallet will kill me" or "my wallet will have a heart attack" thing... And I just realized something. I don't have a wallet. I hate wallets. I never carried a wallet and don't plan on it. I don't understand where people fit their wallets? I mean - in the inner chest pocket of my overcoat? It looks bloated then... In my pants? It makes my pants sag down to one side... Wallets get in the way. Wallets are no good. And no wallet is going to tell me how to spend my money! VFTF1

VFTF1 I don't own a wallet either, i got one of those flash yuppie steeley credit card holders. Wallets are so 1980's. Yes, they DO sag pants. Wallets are good for Car Cash holders i spose, living in the glove box.
Sumdumgai Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Use a cash or card holster: "Time to do some damage..." While I do have a wallet... It rarely has any money in it. Thank you online shopping!
Scream Man Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I have a wallet, but we have a mutual agreement in place, overseen by Credit Card. Credit Cards job is to make sure Wallet never see's just what amounts of money never make it to its cushiony depths. Every so often I leave wallet out in the toy room, and it glares at me accusingly, soeeing all the toys it's sure itwas never involved in the purchasing of....
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 lol and lets not forget... how does one wallet aquire our beloved Macross when not in Japan....

Does a wife count as a wallet? cause if so I may have to re-evaluate my agrement to that statement....checks over shoulder to see if she is there....
Guest sh002 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) what the heck is a wallet? i can't wait for the yf-21 and all its variations. Edited August 20, 2007 by sh002
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Knock it off with the wallets, already! I want news of the 21. Or start a new thread on the "Wallets and other forms of currency transport" section. j/k
wolfx Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks Mr. March for the scans. I think the shoulder pad thing is ingenious...if not abit dangerous during transformation. But hey....they did the YF-19 bicep joint pretty durable.....so i can't see why not this shoulder joint. Lets just hope it won't suffer the VF-0 shoulder syndrome.
Mr March Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 You're welcome. A few pictures always help in these discussions, especially when we're all fumbling our english trying to describe this protrusion or that knob Plus, it's an opportunity to plug my website
eugimon Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 look like models to me, the yf-19 in any event is certainly not the yamato 1/60.
Guest sh002 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 nice pic nonetheless. makes you imagine how badass the 1/60 will look.
valkyrie13 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Aren't these the 1/100 resin completed kits that were available during Wonder Fest?
robodragon Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Aren't these the 1/100 resin completed kits that were available during Wonder Fest? Really how much did they go for? They look nice.
eugimon Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) nah, those aren't nearly so smooth and seamline free. The yf-21 looks kinda like the hasegawa kit but the fuselage seems a little too stretched out. I'm assuming by 1/100 scale you're referring to: Edited August 22, 2007 by eugimon
Vic Mancini Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Is this the 21 that we will be getting? Looks like a couple of Hasegawas to me. Edited August 22, 2007 by Vic Mancini
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I hope the 21 ends up looking close to that model. I specially love the intakes sculpt.
Graham Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 Those are 100% Hasegawa YF-21 and YF-19. Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Is this the 21 that we will be getting? 21 looks so much more sexy than the 19... yes i'm one eyed. But can't disagree can yas.
Dante74 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 21 looks so much more sexy than the 19... yes i'm one eyed. But can't disagree can yas. Actually, I can. The 19 was always the more sleek and sexy of the two IMO.
IAD Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah, the -21 looks sort of stubby, from certain angles. (Top, mainly.) In other orientations (like the one in the photo above) it looks great. (In that photo, I'd say the -21 is better-looking.) The -19 looks good from any angle though. ~Luke

The -19 looks good from any angle though. ~Luke I'm generally a bigger fan of the 19 than the 21, but the 19 has angles that are less than flattering too. It can look chunky in the rear from certain perspectives. Now the VF-11....that's a pretty fighter mode IMO.
Dante74 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Now the VF-11....that's a pretty fighter mode IMO. Quoted for truth!

It can look chunky in the rear from certain perspectives. Now the VF-11....that's a pretty fighter mode IMO. I think so as well. The YF-19 side scematic isn't very flattering, IMO. That angle is definitely superior on the YF-21. But honestly, I'm in love with both designs. It'd be very hard to choose a favorite, though my tendancy to cheer for the underdog probably tips the YF-21 a little higher, hahaha
Vic Mancini Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 But honestly, I'm in love with both designs. It'd be very hard to choose a favorite, Same here. And you can throw the VF-11 and SV-51 into that category for me too. It's very difficult for me to pick a favorite from those four designs. I love them all. And the VF-0 is right behind.
