Yeah, the machinations are just driving me nuts. I'm still hooked on the "internal faction" theory. I'm not ready to write off Leon, but perhaps his involvement is only incidental. Perhaps he's being used by Mr Bilrer. At any rate, it's clear there are plenty of holes in internal NUNS security. There's plenty of unauthorized movement going on and plenty of players are involved. Grace sure seems to be much more than she was before and now the Macross Galaxy connection is starting to make sense. I'm getting the impression either the Vajra are deliberate enemies possibly made by the Macross Galaxy fleet or an experiment gone wrong that the Macross Galaxy fleet is trying desperately to cover up lest their cybernetic experiments be shown as going too far (hence, they risk being deemed illegal and shut down?)

Galaxy is known to be a technological haven. Cybernetics may have been only 1 of the many areas they worked in. The whole "Playing God" aspect comes to mind...like a certain "culture"...making a race of soldiers...some with folding capabilities.

Valkyries have emoted before. It happened a bunch of times in SDF Macross. In DYRL, Hikaru's Skull 1 salutes the bridge before heading out to Boldoza. In Macross Plus, the YF-19 does a "don't blame me" shrug after hitting a friendly target with paint rounds. And there were a few times that VF-11MAXL pranced around like a school girl during Macross 7.

Personally, I thought Michel was simply trying to find the answer what went through his sister's mind when she pulled the trigger. He wasn't trying to solve a conspiracy at all, nor does he perceive her death as one.

I didn't say anything about Michel suspecting anything, the suspicious one is me... :p

Silly rabbits.... :rolleyes:

Phil, we try not to talk about those silly Valks from Mac 7 in this thread... :blink:

Here you are other (clearer, even if still blurry) pics of Galaxy insigna on VF27.

Now I'm curious: is there a VF26????

DANG!!!

Maybe Brera's VF-27 really is Macross Galaxy Valk...

BTW, why I think this is Alto-Hime's final VF-25, since its "SMS007" jut like the one in the OP: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Macr...0Large%2015.jpg

So In guess he wont be blowing up any VF-25 anymore. :D

only if you can prove that last fighter was SMS006. Can you prove that? or every fighter with that color scheme is SMS007?

maybe gillian one is also SMS007. Show me the proof.

more screencaps for VF-27

shows the VF-27 to be both a NUNS fighter and one from Macross Galaxy.

It is very similar to the VF-25 - the "crotch", the beam guns on the side of the legs, the way those wings fold behind the body.

The part with Mikhail in battroid teasing Klan Klan is really amazing. The only odd part is their size.

Reference:

VF-1 is already a good bit taller than a zentradi, so the VF-25 should almost twice as tall.

@ma2ha3: From reading your comments I thought you were spoiling for a fight with me or something.

Anyways........Looks like I need to correct myself here. It seems Alto-Hime is gonna be stuck with "SMS007," since in Episode 4 his VF-25 has an "SMS007" marking and at the same time his VF-25 in episode 9 still has "SMS007"

Loved the episode!

Liked a lot the switch to other set of characters for their development. The mess with all those apparent conspiracies going on gives Macross a less linear feel. But maybe falling too much into Hitchcock-isism??

Felt a little awkward by Michel's VF emoting. As if someone suddenly changed the channel to a Mazinger Z rerun. :mellow: Aside that, the mecha poRn was great! :lol:

Actually it was more like Isamu making it look like it was blowing the smoke from the barrel of his gun like the cocky bastard that he is.

I'm still of the opinon that Kawamori is following Mikoyan tradition and has been naming fighters with odd numbers ever since the VF-11 (even the Vf-22 originally came from the YF-21).

The one I remembered was when Roy and Hikaru talk about Minmay, and Roy hit him with the elbow (2nd episode of SDFM) :lol:

I think that Vajra could be an experiment which DIDN'T go wrong. They could be created as a lifeform programmed to invent new technology on their own to be reversed engineered. That or they came from another galaxy :ph34r:

I agree. And there are other times as well, like Roy's VF-1S ribbing Hikaru's VF-1D over Minmay. And how about Alto's Kabuki victory pose :)

EDIT: Ack, I was beaten to it :)

FV

the symbols on that red vajra suggests protoculture involvement, and the protoculture 'empire' at its peak rules over only this galaxy.

so unless those markings are not PC, it is unlikely the vajra are from another galaxy since they are probably products of PC.

although it is possible those surviving PC moved to a nearby galaxy and these vajra are their scouts to check out whats happening back here (protodeviln scared e shi+ out of the PCs huh... :p). explains the remotely controlled part too. :p

but i think macross is not ready to step out of the galaxy yet, still lots of room for future stories. ;)

You need the calibration. The VF-27 is obviously purple. Beside even if it has other colour "purple 1" is just a call sign.

Does any of this make sense:

At the end of episode seven, Brera folded back to Macross F with more than one VF-27. If he is connected to Grace, then the VF-27 squadron may have arrived with the Galaxy Liner when Sheryl arrived at the Macross Frontier. Maybe they are her escort squadron or used her arrival on the Frontier as cover to gain entry into Island 3?? Perhaps Leon is a Galaxy mole?

you need to buy a new monitor

it is call RICH MAGENTA color

but you are right about call sign can be red 1 red 2, but why choose a color so close to purple

what wrong with magenta 1, it sound cooler.

Is there a version of episode 9 that is in 1280x720 in .avi format?

why dun you wait til sat or sun, gattai should be out by then

Sheryl have an sms uniform, the pink VF-25 is getting more and more likely, in fact it is a no brainer now.

In retrospect: I'm okay with Mikhail animating his VF while talking to Klan. Even if it did seem a bit "talk to the hand"-ish. It's mainly the head bit and that whole "What?" thing he did with it after she slapped the virtual taste out of its mouth...

Thanks for those gifs. I really love the shots zooming in on Alto's Valk all the way to the head, and they did it at least twice in the new episode. Mmmmmmm Mecha heaven.......

Anybody else think that the head of Mikhails unit really looks insectoid?
