baronv Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Now that the YF-1R Valk is being turned into a MPC toy, anyone have a screen cap. of it from the episode it showed up on? Quote
Nied Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 There are several pics of this "animation error" floating around on the net. The easiest to access is on the RObotech.com site in the YF-1R profile. Quote
Agent ONE Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There is no such thing in the Macross fictional universe. Quote
the white drew carey Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There are several pics of this "animation error" floating around on the net. The easiest to access is on the RObotech.com site in the YF-1R profile. Once again: The YF-1R of Robotech IS NOT the same as the animation mistake!!! The similarities: Both feature a top-mounted laser and two side-mounted lasers. The differences: The animation mistake is simply just a VF-1A head with the two lasers on the side. The YF-1R, meanwhile, also features a chin, a hexagonal eyepiece and vents on the side. Although I know of no official acknowledgement, one and all are fairly certain that the animation mistake was Tommy Yune's inspiration for the YF-1R design. Which sucks*. So, to answer Baronv's question, any screencap of the YF-1R from RT can only be found in the battlecry game. I know someone around here has a cap of the animation mistake, because it was posted on the old forums. Someone should be by shortly to satisfy your request. *And before anyone tries to chime in with "If Kawamori designed it you'd love it!" I must note that I've made mention of my dislike for the VF-1J head design numerous times. So 'nyah! Quote
Opus Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Is it an animation mistake? Has the Froating Head deemed it so? Maybe its there on purpose just like the missiles on Max's tail and the Orguss/Valk hybrid thingy. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Is it an animation mistake? I think it's a safe bet. I think there's a bit of a difference between the *ahem* VF-1R and, say, Max's tail missiles. But just to be safe, maybe somebody should bring this up with His Froatyness the next time there's an opportunity for Q&A. Edited November 20, 2003 by bsu legato Quote

bsu legato Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 the froating head laughs at the yf-1r. We SO need a Photoshop of that... Quote
azrael Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I don't consider the "YF-1R" a "Valkyrie", so . Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Yeah its a very-teck. I saw the little screencap that Rt.com had on a loop on their homepage. They remarked that it was the 1R, it was just a mess up, Hg hopeing to milk the Mpc molds. Quote
Montarvillois Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There is no such thing in the Macross fictional universe. I beg to differ, In the Macross universe, the VF-1R was assigned to retards thus explaining the R Quote

bsu legato Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 It's the valkyrie equivalent of the short school bus? Quote

Effect Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) HG bashing is fun and I have no problem with it. We all know they deserve it. But cool it with the Robotech "fan" bashing alright. No need to go there at all. Edited November 20, 2003 by Effect Quote
Anubis Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 the froating head laughs at the yf-1r. We SO need a Photoshop of that... I so concur with that Quote
GobotFool Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Hey mechlo where did ya get the emocon? Quote
Nied Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Is it an animation mistake? Has the Froating Head deemed it so? Maybe its there on purpose just like the missiles on Max's tail and the Orguss/Valk hybrid thingy. That's why I put it in quotes in my first post there. I seriously doubt given how it shows up in two distinct shots that it really is an animation error. I would say it's a deliberate change just like Max's tail missiles (desinged by Ichiro Itano as Quel-Quallie killer), or the Orgus Valk. Quote
StealthLurker Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Just think of it as a factory issue, mass produced custom. <_ Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Just to make clear I wasn't bashing Robotech fans, I was however making fun of HG. Quote
