VF5SS Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 the episode of Transformers called "Fight or Flee" has Air Raid doing gerwalk movies. Also there's a VF-1 in the crowd of Paradron Autobots. Quote

Gakken85 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 So I was watching this British show "Classic Albums". They do little documentaries about bands and specific famous albums. Anyway, I was watching the one on Judas Priest and their album "British Steel". They are talking about this song Metal Gods and they just start randomly throwing in pictures of anime robots. So weird. Anyway, they flashed a shot of the YF-19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gkDlw_WeoFk#t=229 They throw Patlabor and Gundam in there too. Quote

I saw ケンダマクロス→kenda(?)＋makurosu(=macross) It was an event of the Bandai stage, so I thought it had something to do with Macross. But it means kendama + cross. Hmm. Quote

EXO Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 lol... I think I'm a product of the critic and the nostalgist... maybe a little of the secret fan. Quote
Jefuemon Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 It's in a weird place, because there's just so much wrong with this article. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Quote Robotech is one of the most successful mecha franchises of all time. hehe... Quote The 85 episode series first launched in 1985 and seamlessly crossed over into North America from Japan. HAHAHA! Quote The more notable ones are Macross Frontier, Macross 7, Macross Plus, Macross Zero, The Shadow Chronicles. One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn't belong... Quote Udon will also be the publisher for the Kickstarter-exclusive Art of Robotech Academy book. Oh boy, an art book for a show that doesn't exist! Quote We have a ton of model sheets, and even early developmental designs that have never been seen or published anywhere. O RLY? Quote

There are so many connections between both shows like Shoji Kawamori creating the Convoy (Optimus Prime) toy for Diaclone or Yamato selling the VF-1 mold to HASBRO. I'm sure the TOEI animators for TF weren't ignorant of Macross (Macross was trend setter in transforming mecha shows) and certain scenes were a wink and nod to Macross.. Quote

frothymug Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I read the comments on that article and it's like "Can't tell if trolling, or just completely ignorant." Quote
Marzan Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 The meme "Not sure if serious" was made thinking of that article. Quote
Gerli Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I thought this photo was fake so I googled pics of the same aircraft and... that helmet is totally real. (The below photo is another aircraft) Edited August 27, 2014 by Gerli Quote

Marzan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 It seems that USAF has been keeping things from us. I can't wait to see some Gerwalk action in the next Superbowl flyover. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Bah, that's old news. I read that they were introduced in late 2007. Quote
