If Yamato made a 1/60 VF-4 would you buy it?

[eriku]

I voted no because I don't really like Battroid mode at all. However I sincerely hope one gets made for all of you guys who want one.

[Nexx]

absolutely, and not only the vf4, i hope transformable advanced walkyries ^^

[Godzilla]

I was only joking. I would buy 4, and it would be the lowest quantity for any VF I have bought.

Unless they release Max and Miria M3 versions.

I know. Thought I give you a hard time.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Voted yes

Can't say no to that sexy fighter!!

[do not disturb]

i voted yes but it would quickly change to a no if the price is too high.

[VFTF1]

I really don't see the point of

"If Yamato made [insert relatively cool Macross fighter jet] would you buy it?"

threads...

I mean - have we ever had a thread on ANYTHING in the Macross Universe where the majority of people were like "THIS SUCKS! NO WAY!" ?

So far, I haven't noticed any fandom rebellion as was the case - for example - when preview images of the TFs from Bayformers got out - people really had an "OH DEAR LORD WHAT ARE THOSE!?" moment...

But in Macross - never happened.

I'd buy the thing - even though I don't know what it even looks like - but given what Yamato has done up to now, I trust 'em

VFTF1

[eugimon]

Well, to be fair, I think the point of these threads isn't for fans but to show the yamato guys that there's a demand out there for the VF-4.

[miriya]

I just decided that I have to change my vote from HELL YES to HELL YES x 2 because I would need two of them at least.

It is one of my favorite designs in terms of Fighter mode AND in terms of Battroid mode and I would need at least two to display.

[dizman]

VF-4 = pure unadaulterated awesome so I voted yes.

[KingNor]

if i had more disposeable income right now i would, i've always liked the fighter mode on that, even if it's not actually in any of the macross i'm into.

[Sumdumgai]

With the way Yamato has managed to engineer a perfect transformation SV-51 and a PT YF-21, I'm absolutely certain they'd manage to work out a transformation method for the VF-4. To this day I'm still stumped on how the nose becomes the crotchpiece in battroid mode. I just don't understand the mechanics of it, despite the diagram in the Design Works book...

[robodragon]

They don't need to work to hard, It's been figured out on the 1/72 SHE transforming VF-4

I still want to see this in a 1/48.

VFTF1

Yes, there was a rebellion against the 1/100 VF-0 prototype which required interchangeable parts for the transformation

Yamato had to bomb that release because of the hatred!!!

Exactly! SHE did it and people have done the VF-4 in legos.

Yamato needs to borrow from SHE's catalog. VF-11, VF-4, VF-5000. Just remember for the longest time SHE was the only YF-19 with fast packs and now look at the beautiful 1/60 Yamato made.

[UN Spacy]

Rainbow canopy or not, I will definitely get one

What is this rainbow canopy you guys are referring to?

I've noticed it pop up in the new 1/60 VF-1 thread. Judging by the latest pictures it looks fine to me.

[Wicked Ace]

Max and Miria M3 versions.

These schemes are stunning to me. If someone has good pictures of these, please post them for those who haven't played M3. Here's one of my Max/Miria favorites (where they remain flying canopy-to-canopy while killing everything in sight) and a Max in cockpit shot:

I'd probably say no to a fire valkyrie. Didn't like the idea of faces on mecha to be honest or a guitar that controls a robot. Heh.

[Sumdumgai]

The VF-4 also appeared in flashbacks in the manga Macross 7 Trash.

I like that Max scheme VF-4. I like the Macross Digital Mission VFX color scheme VF-4 too.

plane on top looks like a vf-5000...

[sqidd]

I'll buy just about anything I'm dumb like that

[ghostryder]

If they can be faithful to lineart in fighter mode, and not make the battroid look like a clusterf*** (IMHO) like this, then by all means YES!

[robodragon]

I can so visualize how great a VF-4 would be with the stuff that we've see coming out of Yamato the past year or two. To me a VF-4 would be my centerpiece. My YF-19 and 21, kicked to the side. My Legions / Tread, kicked to the back. My 25 different lightsabers collection, Into storage. Well maybe I would just us the lightsabers for accent lighting for my VF-4. I don't want to go to far off the deep end.

Please Yamato, please make a 1/48 or 1/60 VF-4. I'll be your best friend.

[miriya]

True, that SHE model is nice but also a bit of an abomination too.

[Warmaker]

Nope, the VF-4 design just never took off with me.

[Dante74]

True, that SHE model is nice but also a bit of an abomination too.

So it's a nice abomination?

Gotta agree though, those exposed screws really screw it up. HAHAhaha...

haha?...

...

[dizman]

ZING ! See that always makes things funnier. I think the she model looks ok, maybe its abit too bulky and screwy but its the only tranformable VF-4 around (right?).

[Mog]

Voted maybe.

Beautiful fighter mode. No doubt.

But just ain't feelin' the battroid mode at all.

Also, I think 1/48 would be a nicer sized scale for these, would it not?

[ruskiiVFaussie]

It's a lesser Valk, keep it cheaper as 1/60, that's my thinkin..

Edited June 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

[kensei]

Let's face it. You guys want it cause it's different. Not cause it's beautiful.

Yamato, prioritise a VF-9 or 14. The 4 can be last.

[xsjado]

i would buy it in a heart beat. i've been really good about not buying valks this year since i went so overboard last year. i definitely couldn't pass this one up though.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

I want it coz Hikaru flew it. Not just in Flashback, but also whooshing around in his hands whilst he was bored.

Edited June 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

It looks different but it has a beauty all its own.

Let's just hope if it is made, the robot mode has strong hip joints to support the weight.

Edited June 26, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker

[M'Kyuun]

Absolutely would buy. Love the look in all forms. If they make it, I hope the shoulders rotate at the wings like TFA Lugnut. One of Kawamori's coolest designs, IMHO.

[miriya]

You are joking right?

The VF-4 is a gorgeous design in all modes. Some art is subjective but this is Absolutely and objectively aesthetically pleasing OK? So there! Yes I am absurd.

[Sumdumgai]

I love the VF-14, and hate the VF-9. The VF-14 looks like it's a descendant of the VF-4, let the VF-4 come first.
