Anubis Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I can't remember the last time we did this, so here we go: What is your favorite Variable Fighter? Sorry if I missed one, but there are only ten choices allowed anyway. Each VF encompases all variants. For example the VF-1 would include all heads, GBP, VE-1, etc. The VF-17 is still my precious.

Draykov Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) Sorry if I missed one, but there are only ten choices allowed anyway. What, no VF-0? I've got to go with the most familiar one that started it all: the VF-1 (the S model in particular has always been my favorite). Edited November 5, 2003 by Draykov Quote
pfunk Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 And the VF-1's destroy the others by a landslide Quote
Sumdumgai Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I love the VF-1 and the VF-0, but I got charmed by the VF-11 in Macross Plus (since I haven't seen Macross 7 yet). Quote
mikeszekely Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I remember last time the VF-1 dominated, too. People tend to like what they saw first, grew up with, or consider to be "classic." Just like there are people who think the NES is still the best for videogames or have a fondness of 60's and 70's muscle cars. Personally, though, I'm always looking forward to the next new thing, and I went with the VF-22. (I lean toward PS2 for my current game system of choice, although I play everything, and my ideal car was a 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT. Hope the rumor that they might bring them back in 2005 is true...)

Roy's Blues Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 The Few. The Proud. And The Brave Support the YF-21/22 Quote
Anubis Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 I admit I love the VF-1 too (don't we all), it comes a close second to the 17 in fact. I just like the 17's design better. I'm not really surprized the VF-1 has a commanding lead so far, I want to see how the spread looks after a day or two. Quote
Toonz Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) simply VF-1 Edited November 5, 2003 by Toonz Quote
the white drew carey Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Macross M3- Blows Chunks. VF-9 Cutlass- Coolest VF design ever... at least to me. Althought the Battroid mode isn't spectacular, I love the sleak, sporty look it has in fighter mode, and I also think it has the most intriguing and decidedly unique GERWALK mode of any VF (with the VF-17's "I'm about to fall over" GERWALK stance taking a close second).

Murphy Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) the YF-19/VF-19A excalabur version gets my vote, but on the other side the VF-19S, VF-19F, VF-19kai really looked ugly to me and totally took the original design and crapped on it... Edited November 5, 2003 by Murphy Quote
NoSuchFile Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 VF-22/Yf-21 got my vote , mainly because of what they did to the 19 in Macross 7 Quote
dna Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 The VF-9 is indeed one of the best in fighter mode, but battroid kinda dissapoints, so it didn't make the cut. Took the 5000 instead.. If Snow Flower had been on the list, it would have taken my vote. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Yeah, might want to toss the VB-6 (it isn't even a VF, it's a VB ) and add in the VF-0. (My fave's the -19 BTW) Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 1) VF-1 [in general] 2) YF/VF-19 Quote
Noyhauser Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I probably put more words to print about why I love the YF-21 than all the essays papers and articles I did in University combined... You can't argue with an UBER fighter with all the bells and whistles. Its like the difference between a nice sports car and a Maclaren F-1. I also thought the YF-21's Battroid mode is the best looking out of all the other fighters, it looks a lot more elegant and graceful than the other VFs (long thin legs, thin arms and a organic looking structure... by far the best. Quote
Ranger_Karl Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I was torn between the Nightmare and the Sturmvogel. Hard to make a choice, but I bit the bullet and chose the -22. Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 After playing it a lot more on the PS2 Macross game I'm voting for the VF-4 Lightning. It's the one 1/48 that'd I hope Yamato considers releasing. Quote
JELEINEN Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 The VF-4 looks the coolest to me. I'd kill to have it in toy form. Quote
one_one Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I went for the 21/21. For ages I liked the 19 best, it's almost like I got bored of it tho, don't know why maybe i'll go back the 19 someday. Anyone else think it's a bit odd that, in regards to macross plus, the 19 was pushed tot he forefront in advertising/representing the show. I.e it's much easier to find posters and the 19 toys always seem fought after and the 19 was on one of the covers but int he show and movie it seem the 21 is pushed tot he forfront. Althougth are some excelent scenes of the 19 it seems more time was spent in showing the YF-21 dodging the missles or when we see the 21 fight the ghost. It just seems to outshine the 19. just an observation. Quote
J A Dare Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Guys guys guys...there is enough love to go around for all the Valks! Quote
imode Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Guys guys guys...there is enough love to go around for all the Valks! What in god's name?! Okay, I may love Macross, but that's taking it one step too far... Quote
NoSuchFile Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Guys guys guys...there is enough love to go around for all the Valks! Why is Milia's VF-1 shorter than Max's ??? Quote
Coota0 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 The VF-1 for this poll, particulary the VF-1J, but I think for me it would have to be a toss up if the VF-0 were on here Quote
ArchVile Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 My fav is the VF-22s but the VF-4 and VF-1 are close seconds. Quote
hellohikaru Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 With the exception of the VF-1...you guys are all uber VF-22/YF-21 and VF/YF-19 I hate the bubble above the canopy thing which makes it look silly. The VF-17 is way better looking. Anyway my favourites are VF-11, VF-5000, VF-4 and VF-9 Cutlass definitely the most slick looking ones beside the VF-1. Quote
Graham Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Here's my current list of top 5 VFs. This list changes fairly frequently 1st place goes to the VF-17D/S Nightmare Stealth Valkyrie, especially when fitted with FAST packs. 2nd place= Hikaru's VF-1S Strike Valk. 3rd Place = VF-5000B Star Mirage. 4th place = VA-3M Invader. 5th Place = VF-3000 Crusader. I'm really getting into the Macross Zero VF-0A/D/S and SV-51, but I need to see them in action some more before I consider moving them into my top 5. Although I love Macross Plus and the YF-19, YF-21 and VF-11 used to be on my top five, I've sort of got a bit tired of them recently. Graham Quote
Montarvillois Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Guys guys guys...there is enough love to go around for all the Valks! GET A ROOM YOU HORNY BATTROIDS !!! Quote
Nitrous Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 VF-22 got my vote. It looked cool in battroid. And yes, too much singing and "LISTEN TO MY SONG" thing really gets into my nerves, plane included... Quote
