Seto Kaiba Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 pics please There's one at the bottom of Dengeki Hobby's Macross R website... http://hobby.dengeki.com/macross_r/index.html Quote
TehPW Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) LOL that Defender version inspired me to make a Rifleman variant on Heavy Metal Pro with 2 RAC/5's, 4 tons of ammo and 2 Rocket/20's, all arm mounted... oh... 2 sets of missle pods per arm? hmmm... well i made a 2nd varient with 4 Rocket/10's and a 5th ton of RAC ammo. still live that idea even though its so plainly cut & paste unoriginal...

Graham Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Here's the latest scans from the new July 2011 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine. 8 pages in total this month. Enjoy! Graham Quote
e_jacob77 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 HI all, Had to change my name, was in the hospital for like a month, an forgot my password... IT used to be e_jacob77... Either way, 1st time in this thread, and WOW!!! Thought this was an actual roller coaster or something! Talk about flippin awesome!!! This is gonna be made right? More Macross!!! As long as the shows don't start to suffer from poor writing, then keep 'em coming! Quote
Kelsain Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Is it just me, or is it awesome to see the NUNS logo on old school mecha? Quote
Talos Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Is it just me, or is it awesome to see the NUNS logo on old school mecha? You should see VF-25 Master File then. There's a picture in that book of a VF-1X, VF-11, VF-17, VF-19A, VF-22S, VF-171, and VF-25 in formation, all with NUNS crests on them. As for the new pictures. Those are some interesting things. The VF-19C/MG21 in particular. That Angel Birds VF-19 they show has the VF-1 scheme instead of the Master File one seen in the VF-19 Master File book. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Finally had time today to pick up this issue. Awesome pics. Got this, along with some takoyaki, seafood dumplings, ate some miso ramen, and sweet potato apple pie. Thanks, Mitsuwa!!! Quote

Graham Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Just noticed the VF-19C/MG21 has old UN Spacy kite markings. Graham Quote
e_jacob77 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Hi all, Something happened to my old password so now I am e_jacob77 again. lol.... So these are only gonna be books?? Quote
PetarB Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for posting those Graham. That customised Defender looks very mean. Quote
Gubaba Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 So these are only gonna be books?? Didn't you read the first page of the thread? Yes, it's a book. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I don't know where I read it (probably here somewhere), but is there going to be a book with all the custom model kits and artwork for the novel in it? While I have been getting the Dengeki hobby mags for the artwork and such, I'd really like to see it in a nice combined magazine or something like that. Quote

Yeah, that's the "Visual Book", coming at the same time as the novel (see above). Edited May 31, 2011 by Renato Quote
s001 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 This need to be made into a series. It's absolutely AWESOME!!! BTW Who's the character designer for Macross R? Quote
network19 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Enami Katsumi he also did the character design for Baccano. This need to be made into a series. It's absolutely AWESOME!!! BTW Who's the character designer for Macross R? Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 That is some sweet destroid love. That Defender is sick. I remember a poll in the toys section awhile ago asking people if they would buy a Macross the First VF-1J. I think a Macross the Ride Defender toy would be awesome. I like how it incorporates the existing UUM-7 Missile pods as its shoulder missile packs instead of something else. Makes it fit more believably into the Macross world. Quote
sketchley Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Started translation of 2011.07 issue. http://www.macrossroleplay.org/Sketchley/portal/translations.htm Only the opening paragraph, but already a stunning word: Lactence. You know, the (terrorist) group that takes over the Macross 13 at the end of VF-X2 MtR is teh sex! The opening page and art have references to SDFM, DYRL, M7, VF-X2 and MF. Kawamori-san, when is this getting animated? Edited June 5, 2011 by sketchley Quote
valkyriechild Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I think the chances of this being animated is quite slim, but maybe some kind of short video clip showing off those juicy VFs racing each other would be nice. Quote
Gubaba Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 OVA in a year or so. I'm calling it I'll take that bet. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 OVA would be nice, but I doubt it. The character designs in my opinion are just as great as the custom mecha IMO. It would be a shame to only novelize it, but hey, not everything can, or needs to be animated I guess. Heck, they can maybe do this as a manga for Macross Ace. Quote
sketchley Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 The other option would be a game. Maybe not a high-end, graphics intensive (read: high development cost), but something that uses preexisting wire-frame models and a game engine. *cough* one of the PSP games *cough* Quote

Maybe not a high-end, graphics intensive (read: high development cost), but something that uses preexisting wire-frame models and a game engine. *cough* one of the PSP games *cough* They could count me in for that as well. This franchise just has the juice to do any one of those options, and it'd probably be a good seller. Quote

Gian Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Those customized VF's look fantastic. I like the destroid too I hope we get something else than the book aswell! Quote
vanpang Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 They do mention that there will be new photos taken especially for the book. Yeah, that's the "Visual Book", coming at the same time as the novel (see above). Have they started the pre-order ? 25 June is closing fast! Quote
Raptor One Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Wow these are coming out on the 25th? Can't wait to get copies of both. Gonna start learning to read japanese Quote
Jasonc Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Orders for all of it on 6/25 is taken care of and ready to go. Quote
Raptor One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Are you saying you preordered? If so where? Quote
sketchley Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Well... I never thought I'd use "redacted" in a translation, but there you go. Nor jingle, or spokes model, but the odds of the latter two were greater than redacted. Translations continue on the 2011.07 issue. "1 millionth branch store". Heh. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Are you saying you preordered? If so where? I just sent a message to Kinokuniya, and asked if they could hold me my copies of the books, and they said they would, so hopefully that'll be good enough. Quote
