Gubaba Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Timeline 29A: Launching Into The Sea Of Stars (FB,Plus,7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - some interesting stuff. Though, Dr. Chiba's room, and esp. his costume, still creeps me out. You're crazy. Nothin' creepy here. Quote
sketchley Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 RM++ Project: History: F 05A: Gaul 4 Insurrection Incident: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRhistory/MCRhistory.php#MF - wow, they have a real good reason why Ogotai and Temujin look the way they do. Technology 01J: Variable Fighter: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtechnology/MCRtechnology.php - "incomplete forms". Heh. Episode: M16A: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 16 "Kung-fu Dandy": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#SDFM - who'd have thought that Lynn Kaifun was even disliked by some of the creative staff?

sketchley Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 RM++ Project: Character 7 Citizen 01B: Nekki Basara: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRcharacter/MCRcharacter.php#M7 - Basara's love life (well, kinda). Makes one think - how different would the series be if instead of treating his relationships respectfully and at a distance, if it did just the opposite? Episode: 7 24A: Macross 7 Eps. 24 "Merry-Go-Round": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#M7 - can't quite say that the Topics this time are mind blowing, but overall, I found the sheets quite interesting.

I also like how the VF-1 engines are reused for civilian purposes years later. Alas, the RM on the helicopter doesn't explain why it was unpiloted (or if it was, who was piloting it - because it certainly didn't look like someone was piloting it in the shots shown in M+). Quote

Rabidweezil Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) http://deagostini.jp/mcr/select_item.php ●表紙サイズ：縦302×横238×背53mm ●リフィルサイズ：縦290×横235mm/40ポケット(取り外しはできません) ※デザインは変更になる場合がございます。 I still would love to get one of each of these somehow. I see a date listed of 8/1/2014 on the webpage. Is that the release date? Seems a bit far off for selling pre-orders if it is. If not, can someone let me know what the release date is? Thanks!

nanoplasm Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Is this the big thing that every Macross fan is clamoring for now? Quote
Rabidweezil Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Is this the big thing that every Macross fan is clamoring for now? I wouldn't say every fan. But I imagine a few people might be interested if there was a possible "group buy" available Quote

sketchley Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 RM++ Project: Mechanic: F ETC 03B: VF-27 Lucifer: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#MF - interesting how they indicate that the AIF-9V is equipped with a gun pod. Nevertheless, lots of small changes to the names of the different VF-27 models. Character Plus Citizen 02B: Myung Fang Lone: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRcharacter/MCRcharacter.php#M+ - some more insight into (young) Isamu and the scale of the 30th armistice ceremony. Timeline 30A: Fateful Reunion (Plus,7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - even more insight into Isamu. History 7 06A: Sound Force Formation: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRhistory/MCRhistory.php#M7 - this sheet also spawns a what if question: what if the series was more focused on the attrition in the ranks during the war that the RM suggests and only plays out in the background of the series? The other RM doesn't really add anything new, IMHO, as that info's already mentioned elsewhere. Quote

Nevertheless, lots of small changes to the names of the different VF-27 models. Finally got caught up on this stuff myself... ended up having to order about twenty issues and six binders en masse. I'd always figured that was the case, that the AIF-9V was just using a cut-down BGP-01 as its main gun. I'd guess it doesn't have the beam grenade mode though, since it looks like the actual back of the gun is embedded deep inside the AIF-9V's body. Edited October 12, 2013 by Seto Kaiba Quote

Timeline 30A: Fateful Reunion (Plus,7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - even more insight into Isamu. Reading Isamu's light personality on the surface but reacted wholeheartedly for his childhood friend reminds me a little of Spike's character in Cowboy Bebop. learning a lot from your hard work. thank you for the access...

sketchley Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 RM++ Project Mechanic: M UN 09B: SDR-04-MkXII Phalanx: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#SDFM - the RM has a bit more insight into the why the Phalanx came into being, and its design philosophy. Neat! Side note - one of the things I like about Macross is how in-series the designs aren't infallible, and there's a tangible feeling of progress in the various series. Quote

The topics herein provide a couple of pieces of gold that -despite always being present in the movie- I've never noticed before. Eg. "Commander Max". And I'm glad I'm not the only one that missed such details - it makes a point of pointing that out! TF01E,F: Macross F Theatrical Edition ~The False Diva~: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#TMF - I'm not sure if I like the interpretation of Aruto as some uber naturally talented pilot (I guess I like the TV version better), nevertheless, the topics feel a bit light on detail (all the more so due to the gold in the DYRL sheets!) Ah well, at least we know the movie versions get 6 sheets. Should we be expecting the same for FB7? Quote

sketchley Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Complete! Ranka Lee x Rigaado / Sheryl Nome x SDF-1 Macross: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRheroine/MCRheroine.php - for some reason, the Sheryl/SDF-1 illo comes across as sacrilegious to me. The Ranka/Rigaado illo, on the other hand, is fun. Mechanic: TF ETC 04B: Vajra: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#TMF - I like how they actually put some thought into the Vajra in the movie version (take that, TV version!). This sheet does round out the Vajra that much more, but ultimately, the Vajra are still a pale protagonist next to the Protodevilun (whom also pale next to the sheer awesomeness that the Zentraadi protagonists are!).

sketchley Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 RM++ Project: Worldguide 20A: Private Military Providers: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRworldguide/MCRworldguide.php - despite being focused on S.M.S., it was more informative than I expected: some actual numbers for the mobile weapons deployed to S.M.S.. They also have an additional pair of heretofore unseen ships, too. Quote
sketchley Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 RM++ Project: Technology 01L: Variable Fighter (Specialized Mission Variable Craft): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtechnology/MCRtechnology.php - surprisingly informative. More specifically the bit on the service life of the VA-3, though the stuff on the VB-171, VB-4 and VB-5 is noteworthy, so too the idealized operational usage of the VF, VA, VB, and VE. Quote
sketchley Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Complete: Mechanic: TF NUNS 02A: VF-171 / Destroid: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#TMF - all three "mobile weapons" get a bit more expansion and refinement. On the other hand, the movie version of the VF-171 appears to be a combination of the TV version's VF-171 and VF-171EX (sans EX-Gear of course). RM++ Project: Episode: 7 25A: Macross 7 Eps. 25 "Late Night Duet.": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#M7 - quite a bit of insight into the major characters of the series. The topic on the Nature Sections leaves a bit to be desired - they're essential, yes, but why? One would think that Kawamori-san would be able to provide a specific reason for that... did the writers consult him? And a final footnote on my previous host: They sent me a mass-mailer job opportunity because I'm in Japan (part time, service type that requires Japanese fluency). Nevermind the history of the account, nor their misrepresentation of their service (or their lack of ability to stick to a contract). No thanks. Edited October 21, 2013 by sketchley Quote

jvmacross Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 issue_43_1.jpg Are we at 30 new covers now? Quote
nexxstrait Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Are we at 30 new covers now? Exactly 30 new Tenjin double pages (not all of them covers). 32 if we count the "variant" VF19P and Spartan images. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Exactly 30 new Tenjin double pages (not all of them covers). 32 if we count the "variant" VF19P and Spartan images. The Daedelus was one I think....and the Quarter.....had forgotten about the 19P variant! Hope this means they opted to pay Tenjin for new art (only way I'll keep buying them).....otherwise, lots of familiar cover art coming our way... Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 That's an awesome image of Battle Frontier. Totally happy I got to meet Tenjin at this years con. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 That's an awesome image of Battle Frontier. Totally happy I got to meet Tenjin at this years con. Is he doing any additional Arcadia box art?...Will there be more Macross Chronicle art beyond the assumed 30 new covers?... Quote
Tochiro Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Is he doing any additional Arcadia box art?...Will there be more Macross Chronicle art beyond the assumed 30 new covers?...He is not due to do any further Arcadia box art at this time. As always though this may change in the future. His other new piece of art is on a poster which is a prize in the latest Macross ichiban kuji. Quote
