Vinny Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I just watched the episode "Rainy Night." I was wondering where that episode fits in relative to Macross Zero. Does it come before or after Zero? Thanks!
Lightning Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 before, because Roy's still flying the F-203 Dragon II and they're still getting the transformation mechanism worked out. By the time Zero happens, Roy's flying the Zero with a full working transformation and the only thing really holding the VF-1 back is the Thermonuke engine developement.
Agent ONE Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 It takes place after. It invloves the development of the VF-1. The compendium states: 2008 August VF-1 series [scheduled to] begin deployment for actual combat. (However, usage is to have been limited to Fighter mode only.) September Macross Zero The United Nations government and Anti-United Nations forces secretly deploy the VF-0 and SV-51 respectively while disputing over a recently discovered phenomenon on the island of Mayan in the South Pacific Ocean. (The events are kept secret for at least five decades.) Rollout of the first HWR-00 series model. October ARMD II commissioned. November All-environ variable fighter VF-1 series mass production begins. November 23 Rollout of the first trial production VF-1A variable fighter. November 29 Maiden flight of the first trial production VF-1A variable fighter.
dna Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 From that time line, it's possible that Rainy Night could take place that August. Really can't tell either way from that.
azrael Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 In any case, the events from "Rainy Night" occur before M0.
Vinny Posted October 30, 2003 Author Posted October 30, 2003 OK thanks i was a bit confused, because Roy was test flying the VF-1X, and he was scared of flying it, and I was thinking the VF-0 was flown before that and what not and was confused. This clears it up. Thanks again
