What's a "Guardian"...? Do you mean "Gerwalk"?

And no, I think it's the shoulder pads.

And specifically the dude wearing the shoulder pads and and almost (by that I mean vaguely) DYRL flight suit.

sadly I can see HG pitching a fit and doing that.

So after seeing that house for sale on Macross Court on the last page, I was bored and thought I'd try to see how many streets named Macross there were in the US.

Went to Google Maps and found this:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Macross,+Mountain+View,+CA+94043/@37.4199669,-122.0838372,17z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x808fba020103726d:0xa2ecaa4a27da7ddb!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fba01fe474411:0x4d3425e994c32210

Took me a sec to figure out what it was, but from what I can tell there's a Macross room next to the Gundam and Voltron rooms in one of the buildings on Google's main campus :D

Awesome find.

There's also a Evangelion and a Professor Ochanomizu (the creator of Astro Boy) room and one named friggin Dr.Tenma (main character of the Monster manga). That was mindblowing.

I recognized the Evangelion room, and I noticed the others, but I didn't really get the references, I knew they were important to nerdom, just not how...

Ernest Cline's "Armada" has a Max Jenius reference (MMO player's call sign) and mentions a Robotech veritech fighter model, whatever that is ;)

Not sure if this has been posted before but, as I'm watching SDC Orguss episode 18 yet another Macross reference...

ORGUSS MACROSS

I guess it's not the weirdest place for it but it's still something to talk about!

Every time I check back on this thread, there is something cool in it! I'm glad to see we're getting ground indentations and rooms named after our favorite series! - MT

That's cute that they used both the alphanumeric designation and the craft name. Leaves no room for doubt that it's Macross :)

No wonder. They already have Valkyrie parts available to make that Orguss-Valkyrie. Probably when the Space/TimeOscillation Bomb exploded the remains of the Orguss-Valkyrie ended up in Macross Island. Lol ;)

Forgot to post this earlier since I need to put it in the computer first so I can upload it here. Taken at Northbound US101 Freeway. I'd be surprised if the owner of this car is not a member here. ;)

That would be cool. Post it here when it gets approved and mounted to your vehicle. ;)

Awesome photo...is that in San Mateo?

Yes sir. It's yours? ;)

Actually, it cut me off during traffic. And instead of getting mad, I just smiled when I read the plate number. Good thing I have those phone mount holder installed in the car. :)

Cant do it.. the state I live in only allows for 6 digit rego plates so it would look crap.. I think other states like Western Australia allow more than 6? But I ain't moving interstate just for a rego plate! LOL! :rolleyes::lol:

I think the Dr.Tenma they mean is actually the Astro Boy character, the original creator of the robot. Urazawa's character in Monster was probably a homage to him, as Urazawa is known as a Tezuka fan.

Good point.

This isn't a cameo but more like a nod. When i'm not Macross-ing i'm board gaming. So i stumbled upon this Kickstarter of a nano-boardgame, called Star Patrol: Carrier Commander.

No valkyries here, but notice the counter sheet. One team's base is called Prometheus Base and the other is Daedalus Base. I understand if you back $25, you get to name the Carriers so maybe they got the name from a backer who is a Macross fan. If yes, and its someone from here, good on ya. ;)

Not to mention the "Admiral On Deck" card looks kinda like Admiral Max Jenius.

Back it for just $3. :D Sounds fun and easy to carry around. (I'm in no way affiliated to this game or its creator, just spreading the word)
