Alto seems to be on the defensive in this training exercise...poor guy. She's going all out on him.

It looks like there's reactive armor on the AP shield with the super parts. Intriguing.

Looks to be the same shield as used on the Armoured Pack. I think the Super and Armoured packs share a few components in common.

The main differences appear to be the boosters and the leg packs.

I always thought it was the "Fairy Squadron"?

Now I'll have to check again.

Yep your right I was half asleep. But in some cultures in mythology a pixie and fairy are similar though in most they differ in attitude as a pixie is often the nicer of the two but a prankster where as the fairy was often violent and mischievios in a harmful manner.

Very nice, just need a translation, otherwise it's like my old Area-88 manga, lovely to look at, can only barely follow the plot by just the pictures.

Hopefully, Ackem and Steve will be able to help with that.

Hey, is that Breetai on page 33?

I think Ranka is imagining that part....

So on one hand, Alto has Sheryl and Ranka to pick from, and on the other, he has scary mini-Meltran wanting to kick his ass....Alto is a freakin chick magnet...He's not pushing the right buttons, he's pushing every button..... :blink:

Here's page 28 and 29 as a splashpage.

I did some internet searching on this because I was interested in doing some comic scans for later.

I used paint.net.

1. make a "new" blank file

2. click "image", then "canvas size"

3. uncheck maintain aspect ratio

4. type in new pixel dimensions

width 2882

length 4000

5. open up each page of scanned comic jpeg in paint.net

6. select all for each page

7. copy onto blank file

8. line up and save as jpeg

I shrunk the file down to 523kb with microsoft picture manager

p1

Ranka: Nu...Number 14! I'm Ranka Lee! How do hou do! (she stutters and pronouces a syllable

wrong here)

Announcer: Miss Ranka, can you tell us your reason for being in the Miss Macross pageant?

Sheryl: Hmmmm, so she followed through with it.

Ranka: Yes!

p3

Anouncement: Alto Unit has been shot down.

Michele: Congradulations Alto-kun!! That's the 25th timee you've gotten promoted to the second

level.

Alto: Ugh...

Michele: So! Which one do you want this time?

Signs: [Weak! Too weak! King of Weakness!] [Hermaphordite] [Whipped dog] [i love being cannon

fodder] [Fated to be a smoldering corpse]

p4

Michele: Hey! You've still got 25 laps to go! [sidetext: What's done is done]

Signs: [Clumsy pilot] [Winless]

Luca: You sure are evil, Michele-sempai.

Michele: Huh? What do you mean?

Luca: I'm talking about the difficulty settings for the simulator. I don't know if even I could do it at that level.

Michele: It's because he'd easily clear the normal difficulty. Crushing his overconfidence is

good anyway. What? [sidetext: gross] But to think that you would understand, you little

bastard.

p5

Sign: Clumsy pilot

Michele: Hey! No cell phone in the middle of training! 25 extra laps!

Alto: Ugh!

Box: Dear Alto-kun

Alto: Damn it!

Ranka: Thh-thing I'm good at? Ss-singing!

Boxes: Listen to this! I passed the preliminaries in the Miss Macross pageant! I just wanted

to try it out, but I'm glad I applied!

Phone: Passed!

p6

Boxes: Nothing will change unless I try. It's thanks to you that I understand that. I'll work

hard so I won't lose to you!

Announcement: Is there a point to this?

Alto: Like I would know!

Box: And the actual pageant is this Sunday. I'd really like you to come. Anyway, I'm going

to do my best.

p7

Alto: She's doing her...best...

Luca: Alto-sempai, if you sleep there...

p8

Michele: Since when has he known Ranka-chan

Luca: So what Nanase-san said was true after all. About the Miss Macross pageant I mean.

Michele: But we'll have too keep this from the Commander. If he...

Ozuma: Keep what from me? Whatever... Anwyay, how's the newbie doing?

p9

Michele: Well, you can see for yourself.

Ozuma: I'm not talking about that.

Michele: His skills are good and he's putting effort into it that he hasn't put in anything else before.

Ozuma: I see...then it's about time for that. The final test will be this Sunday. Let the

newbie know.

Luca: Sund...?

Michele: That's when the Miss Macross...

p10

Announcement: The special judge for today's Miss Macross, Sheryl Nome will--

Miranda: My, if it isn't Nanase from the arts department, are you participating as well?

Nanase: Um...no, I just came with someone. [sidetext Nanase: Miranda-san from the

entertainment department Ranka: How do you do]

Miranda: Hmm? So she is? [condescension sound] Well, do your best.

Ranka: I...I think I really don't belong here...

Nanase: Do..don't worry! Size doesn't matter! You should just be true to yourself!

p11

Ranka: [even more depressed noises]

Nanase: Huh!? What's wrong Ranka-san!!

Phone: Meow meow Deculture~ [i wonder if Alt is Alto's official name, I don't like it]

Box: I'll be late, but will definitely be there. Alto

Ranka: Alto-kun... All right!

p12

Ozuma: Ok the final test to see if you are fit to be here begins. The rules are easy, just

hit your opponent once.

Alto: Fine already, just hurry up. Who's gonna fight me?

Klan Klan: Hmph...today's newbie sure looks tough...

Ozuma: She's your opponent--

p13

Klan Klan: Captain Klan Klan of the Pixie squadron.

Alto: Zen...Zentradi.

p14

Klan Klan: I won't go easy. Come at be with everything you have, Miclone.

Alto: Hmph...don't worry, I'll finish this off quickly.

Announcement: The mock battle between Captain Klan Klan and Second Lieutenant Alto will now

commence. A direct hit to Alto's cockpit or a hit to Klan's unit will be considered

destruction of the respective units.

Luca: Alto-sempai, Captain Klan is extremely skilled! Please be careful! Isn't that right,

Michele-sempai?

Michele: No comment.

p15

Michele: Well, you're fine as long as you aren't hit directly. Just do it with no worries.

Alto: Let me out. [Thoughts: That's right--I'll finish this quickly--and go to where she is-

-] Uwa...!! From above.

p16

Klan: Hmph...seems like you have good instincts.

Klan: It's because you're relying on that fact--

p21

Alto: Ugh!!

Klan: Your flank is open!

Alto: Damn.

Klan: What's wrong!! You won't win if all you do is run away!

p22

Alto: Yeah right...

Michele: Alto!! Don't lose your cool!! You're movements are too linear!! You need to weave

more--

Alto: Shut up pervert!

Michele: Huh? What the hell are you saying, that doesn't have anything to do with this.

Luca: They get along so well...

p23

Klan: You won't hit if all you do is aim at me!

Boxes: poo! I can't get caught up here. I have hurry up and get to where she is...

p24

Boxes: It isn't just me fighting right now, she is too. She's also fighting her hardest to

grasp her dream. That's why--I have to--

p25

Alto: Ooooooooo!!

Klan: Ha!! He's coming!! It if isn't like this it would be no fun!

p26

Klan: See if you can dodge this, newbie!!

Alto: I! I promised her that I would definitely be there!

Klan: What!!

p32

Ranka: Thank you very much.

Sheryl: This year's Miss Macross is--Miss Miranda--

Alto: Ummm, you know, sorry for not making it here in time.

p33

Ranka: It's OK. It's my own fault that I was so nervous that I messed up. But you know what,

something good happened. Lots of people heard my singing and there were people who even

wanted my autograph. When that happened, I thought to myself that this is what I really want

to do.

Alto: ...I see.

p34

Alto: Anyways, you know how to do autographs?

Ranka: Huh? Ummm...that is...Actually I've been secretly...praticing...ummm...

Alto: Hmmmm....?

Ranka: Umm...That's right! We have to hurry! The SMS people are waiting.

Alto: Yeah...

p35

SMS: Well then--Cheers to Alto's inductionion into SMS!

Luca: Now Alto-sempai will be with us even at work.

Michele: This sucks, he got in so quickly.

Luca: But it was really awesome, he got in a hit on Captain Klan's Quadron. There were even

paint marks left on it.

Michele: But he sure got shot up a lot in exchange. Well, I got to see Klan's crying face--

Klan: Hmmmm...? I can't overlook that...

p36

Klan: If you use that kind of reckless attack, you won't survive no matter how many lives you

have.

Ranka: [sidetext: So cute!] Is this girl also part of SMS?

Klan: Wha...I am not a child!! I'm Captain Klan Klan!!

Alto: Klan...?!

Luca: For some reason this happens to the Captain whenever she changes to a Miclone

p37

Michele: It's because you have clumsy genes, isn't that right Klan?

Klan: Wha...!? What did you say!! Just because you're a little taller than me--Fix that part

of yourself Michele! Today I will have my vengeance! Don't...mess with me--

Thought: She jumped!?

Michele: Alto, save me!

Alto: What!? Why do I have to--

p38

Klan: Daaaa!!

Ranka: Alto-kun!?

Michele: Even though she's small her strength hasn't changed...

Klan: Uh...Sorry.

Luca: Me...medic!!

Ozuma: Heh...so young.
