Skullsixx Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Kawamori deserves a tribute after all. EXACTLY!!! Quote
Macross007 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) EXACTLY!!! Unfortunately, it won't happen since Japaneses don't have the "me, myself and I" culture we have in the west. Naming things to honor a person is not a japanese thing. Edited March 10, 2008 by Macross007 Quote
taksraven Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 On the theme of birds. I look at the nose of the VF-25 and I am reminded of the Kookaburra. So maybe VF-25 Kookaburra Or part of the Kookaburra's larger bird group, VF-25 Kingfisher I think that they both sound nice. Taksraven Quote
Spitze Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 VF-25 Raven VF-25 Shrike I mean, I like the Shrike idea. Or VF-25 Falcon II Quote
Morpheus Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Supernatural theme: VF-25 Vampire II VF-25 Banshee VF-25 Nosferatu VF-25 Mutant Valkyrie VF-25 Zombie Valkyrie Edited March 10, 2008 by Morpheus Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) VF-25 Matryoshka Based on the russian Matryoshka doll which contains a doll within a doll within a doll etc The smallest doll is the human body, with the EX gear being the next stage, with the valkyrie being the next stage, and finally the full armor the last. I think of the machine as being layered like that. A person within a person within a person within a person. Each layer hiding something beneath it. Edited March 10, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Trazial Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 As I looked through the posts i did not see these names or I over looked them. VF-25 Viper VF-25 Cougar And for giggles VF-25 Airwolf Quote
valkyrie13 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) I'm going all out Japanese on this one... and will vote for badboyz' "VF-25 Raiden". Ozma's version could be VF-25 Raiden Kai... Edited March 10, 2008 by valkyrie13 Quote
Mr March Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 VF-25 Matryoshka Based on the russian Matryoshka doll which contains a doll within a doll within a doll etc The smallest doll is the human body, with the EX gear being the next stage, with the valkyrie being the next stage, and finally the full armor the last. I think of the machine as being layered like that. A person within a person within a person within a person. Each layer hiding something beneath it. Actually, I can see the Japanese doing something like that. Not for a Valkyrie name in Macross, but they do like words like that. Like adopting "Mehve" for example. I could see a slight alteration in the spelling of "Matryoshka" used for the name of something in anime Quote
Zinjo Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Raiden and Toryu are good choices as well... Quote
Alex Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I was thinking that since this iteration of Macross is called 'FRONTIER" then maybe a name from a famous explorer. The VF-25 Armstrong? The VF-25 Gagarin? Quote
Isamu test pilot Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 VF-25 Kawamori is great... My personal name could be VF-25 Wingedlion VF-25 Masamune Quote
Mog Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Too lazy to look through the whole thread, but how about: VF-25 Chimera When I look at the 25, I see a lot of elements from the old birds: the variable geometry wings of the old VF-1; the shield from the VF-11's and 19's; the complex fuselage-folding of the SV-51; etc. Much like the mythological creature, the 25 seems to be a deadly combo of the signature elements of the different Macross fighters from the past. So, Chimera seems to be a pretty appropriate and fitting name. EDIT: Okay, finally read the whole thread. Saw that 1/1 LowViz Lurker already posted the idea. My bad.

TCracker Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Dunno whether this has been posted but giving a shot:- VF-25 Silverbolt VF 25 Kamikazee VF-25 Pai Long Some trash here.... VF-25 Nyan Nyan Quote
Devil 505 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 VF-25 Kfir II. I figure if the VF-22 was named after a German plane, then the Israelis deserve one, too. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I don't know if these have been suggested yet, but how about: VF-25 Rapier VF-25 Stiletto VF-25 Scimitar VF-25 Katana VF-25 Claymore Since the VF-9 already has the code name of Cutlass, a bladed weapon moniker would be appropriate from an already established Macross naming convention. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I like VF-25 Fenrir. I've always been partial to Valhalla since my MiG-45 project. Fits with the Norse theme, but in the case of my MiG-45 it was supposed to also be a NATO reporting name (F-names for Fighters (Flanker, Fulcrum, Frogfoot), B-names for Bombers (Blackjack, Backfire, Bear), V-names for Variable Fighters, etc. etc.). So that's a suggestion. Vostok 7 Quote

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) VF-25 Silverbolt ^ It would be funny if they finally decided that they should have an onboard AI on all valkyries from now on and when the pilot is injured, the AI takes over and the valkyrie becomes like a transformer. Put a custom face on it and call him "silverbolt" from the transformers. Maybe have a different one called "jetfire", and another called starscream. And like the tacikoma in ghost in the shell they can think for themselves and stuff. The return of faces on valks! Edited March 12, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote

And, the lead character would have to contend with the fact that his aircraft is afraid of heights. (Silverbolt was acrophobic.) Quote
hellohikaru Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Of all the names suggested so far i like Halcyon the most...sounds like something the japanese would go for. Sword names would be nice too..i like Durendal and kusanagi yet the japanese might find it too 'cliche'. Besides Ace Combat already used up most of those name. I sure hope he doesnt name it Retaliator, Mirage, Phoenix or whatever currently exist. Quote
miked01 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 My suggestions: VF-25 Predator VF-25 Kris VF 25 Dragonfly Quote
charger69 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Thanks hellohikaru I considered that Basara's pacifism should have a place in Macross F, that's why I chose Halcyon. A beautiful peaceful bird Edited March 13, 2008 by charger69 Quote
Sorata Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Maybe we should do a poll of the most popular names from this thread and since we cant participate in the Japan only choosing of the name why not select a Unofficial English Fan Designation or Nickname. Unofficial nicknames of military or anime hardware isnt uncommon. IE the Star Mirage. Quote
