nugundamII Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Look, its totally different. The nose of the fighter splits open when its in Battroid .....(uh, sorry)...... Robot mode! And all robots are direct steals from Rossums Universal Robots anyway!! (Karel Čapek is almost exactly the same as Carl Macek, go figure......) Taksraven that picture reminds me of this http://tfu.info/1998/Destron/Stascream/robotmode.jpg Edited January 9, 2010 by nugundamII Quote
hulagu Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Am I alone when I look at the white fighter and think it's based on the old F-111? My reasons: Long nose, swing wing, and single rudder. Isn't that a delta wing? Looks more like a Chengdu J9 or J10 to me. Got to have a healthy dose of national pride in these things. Quote
wolfx Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Am I in the minority in saying that I'd like to see this and buy the toys from it? I'd join your wagon. The mecha designs actually look kinda good ....until they did those angel wing and lightsaber ultimate move things. Quote
Vince Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Gee, I wonder who's gonna make toys for those planes. bootleg Bandai China... Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Looks like Harmony Gold found their next Robotech series! Has this been posted to rt.com yet? Edited January 9, 2010 by Funkenstein Quote
Moly_Sigang Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Looks like Harmony Gold found their next Robotech series! Has this been posted to rt.com yet? Not yet though, but it'll find its way in rt.com one way or another. Quote
nugundamII Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 bootleg Bandai China... yeah its called TT HongLi Quote
Freiflug88 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Am I in the minority in saying that I'd like to see this and buy the toys from it? Not by any means. All of us know we just got to see this. And as long as HG doesn't get involved in this somehow, it will be the far lesser evil of Macross plagiarism. Quote
Robelwell202 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 bootleg Bandai China... I would've guessed Toynami... Quote
Greyryder Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Is that a VF-1 with a VF-25 body kit? Man, all it needs now, is fender flares and some spinners. Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 The fighters look more like G1 Jetfire. Quote
Repiv_Onex Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 New trailer, 2:49. http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/UlsR99vSbwg Gerwalk, fold... I'm speechless. Quote

I don't know how much more obvious they can make this thing... I saw elements of SDF-Mac, Mac-Frontier, and DYRL... All jammed into an RT:TSC-quality animation style... I need a shower, now... Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Wow, utterly shameless. How appropriate that the Flanker would be used as as base for the mechs as opposed to the VF-1's F-14. Quote
HoveringCheesecake Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Part of me really hopes HG picks this up just so I can watch the clusterfart that follows. Has the HFH weighed in on this yet? Pretty obvious that they "borrowed" the basic Valkyrie design. Quote
jenius Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Seriously, there was like an SDF-1 taking off to fight the Vajra. It's like a beautiful trainwreck of various Macross works. If I'm HG I am esctatic. This is exactly what they need. Provided it doesn't suck absolute balls and they can get US distribution rights they can totally abort Shadow Chronicles which has lower production values than this show and treat this series like a re-launch.

nugundamII Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I know I will be spammed for saying this but truth be told. The modern Chinese are shameless in copying other peoples ideas and work. I think I would have been ok if they called it Macross V2 in respect to the people who created it. S.H.A.M.E.L.E.S.S. Dont get me wrong I have made comments on the flipside when when the departed was a total ripoff of Mugando which was better anyway Quote
Gubaba Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Dont get me wrong I have made comments on the flipside when when the departed was a total ripoff of Mugando which was better anyway The Departed wasn't a rip-off, it was an adaptation. The US Studio PAID to adapt the story. Completely different situation. I will agree with you that the Hong Kong version was better, though. Quote

I will agree with you that the Hong Kong version was better, though. not to veer of topic but i didnt know they paid and im glad they did. But I remember reading in our own local paper that there was a dispute between the producers and the makers of Mugando and The Departed saying tha their film was different. I dont know how different it is since the ending elevator scense is EXACTLY like Mugando. And Mugando at least had the creativeness to have three volumes where the departed tried to squeeze everything in 120min. back on topic. About the toys. I dont care if the toys look awesome Im not supporting a franchise ripoff where the original Macross franchise has rewarded us with all kinds of Valks. Quote
Moly_Sigang Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 New trailer, 2:49. http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/UlsR99vSbwg Gerwalk, fold... I'm speechless. Ok where to begin? Macross Frontier style fold effect, the Archangel from Gundam SEED, they hired some bloke from DeviantArt as the character designer, Vajra/Invid enemies and the enemy ship reminds me of the Sentinels version of the Ark Angel. Also, it looks like they concentrated too much on the mecha and neglecting the background and the surroundings. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Really can't wait to see this anime after that second trailer. If anything this could be a good drinking anime. Spot which scenes were lifted from Macross/Gundam and take a shot. Quote

And notice that the SEED Archangel has an aft that looks exactly like the Macross Quarter... Quote
Twoducks Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 They are missing fanservice... wait, now that is something worthy of praise in this day and age. Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Character art looks about right for Teen Titans. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 As much of total rip this show seems to be, I'd buy a good toy of that transforming Flanker... Quote

Spot which scenes were lifted from Macross/Gundam and take a shot. Are you sure you want to do that? You might actually get yourself killed from drinking more than one bottle or keg per episode.

miles316 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 At least they left the Missile massacre alone for now. Quote
hulagu Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I just love the ersatz RDF/UN Spacy kite flag, Captain Ikari Gendo, the not-Vajra and how they are launching out from a pimped-out Nupetiet Vergnitz painted a fluorescent neon pink. Edited January 11, 2010 by hulagu Quote
Ghost Train Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Well at least they have a black guy in the cast.... and who says Chinese mistreat other minorities lulz? /sarcasm off. There was a case also not long ago, where 5cm/second was ripped pretty much blatantly as well, with minor cosmetic changes. Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 To be honest, it's pretty obvious that they spent time doing these designs if they could mash together Aquarion with Macross (coincidentally both Kawamori shows). The character art is about the same quality as unguided and unattended Koreans (Ahem, Shadow Chronicles). I'd like to know more about the story, which seems to include a meteor crashing into Earth.

nugundamII Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 another macross themed ripoff. A blue jet a White and red Jet A red Jet and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa grey jet sigh Quote
RedWolf Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Well at least they have a black guy in the cast.... and who says Chinese mistreat other minorities lulz? /sarcasm off. Off Topic: Technically speaking most of those minorities are still Chinese just they aren't Han. On Topic: Anybody going to watch this? Even for the sake of Lulz. Quote
Freiflug88 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 They are missing fanservice... wait, now that is something worthy of praise in this day and age. Fan service shots and Ace Combat 5 music don't mix anyways. Its way too early to discount fan service though after all it probably won't be over until the Chinese Waitress sings. I'd like to know more about the story, which seems to include a meteor crashing into Earth. Looking back at the trailer I saw a huge meteor shower crashing on to the earth. Considering the Captain Gendo Ikari, I wouldn't be surprised if its labeled something like "Second Impact." Quote
BeyondTheGrave Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 On Topic: Anybody going to watch this? Even for the sake of Lulz. If someone is translating and subbing it... I'll at least watch the first episode. Quote
