Flaming Guantlet Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Hey guys. I thought I'd share an interesting find with y'all. I decided to try out Bing search engine to see how it searches. I typed in "VF-27" to see if it'll find anything google hasn't. Low and behold it actually did and something REALLY good too. I happened to stumble upon a japanese site with some unseen lineart (for me at least) for the vfs and 2 ships of Frontier(also includes some aquarion stuff too). http://robot.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/news/...12/09/1494.html Seeing art like this gives me hope that we'll see them properly published, in some design works book later down should they do so (which I REALLY hope they will). Enjoy! Quote

Enjoy! very cool, looks like the Vf-27 had a slightly different design before the final Quote
Thom Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Yes, thanks for passing that on. Too bad there weren't any more of the ship... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 More thanks for sharing/passing this along - I would love to see those in a Frontier or in a Kawamori Artbook too. -b. Quote
Zinjo Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Very Cool! Interesting how he was fixated on a stealth looking VF-27 until he switched it to more of a SV-51 style... Quote
sketchley Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Very Cool! Interesting how he was fixated on a stealth looking VF-27 until he switched it to more of a SV-51 style... I think the change was deliberate. Macross Chronicle lists an SV-52 on the SV-51 sheet (as in the successor design, like the VF-4 to the VF-1), and one of the Great Mechanics.DX articles has a line coming out of the SV-51 leading to a question mark in a VF design flow chart. It's entirely probably that the SV-51 design continued and was eventually brought back into UN VFs by General Galaxy in the VF-25, possibly others, too. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Never saw this before. Thanks for putting this up. I never would have happened upon it otherwise. Quote

Maybe it was utilized on Zentradi fighters. With the abiguity Kawamori keeps in his back pocket anything is possible. Quote
