And for the record:

As I said, she's hot.

This takes place before the Frontier TV series right? So where were all these Ace pilots during the Vajra war?

Dunno. The story wasn't about them anyways. Frontier only follows a very, very, very, very, small fraction of people on a fleet that carries 10 million.

Nice Body is Japanese-English ''attractive body''.

Usually men threw words to femaIe as glamorous breast or hip.

Never women use to cool-guys.

Ah, but that doesn't mean that Puffy weren't using it correctly.

Nor does my statement mean that nice buddy isn't also a valid use of the term.

Context trumps all in the end.

Hmmm... me thinks I should've written short /o/ above, too. Short /o/ and short /u/ tend to be rendered as ア.

Finished the first page of the first issue.

It's not 100% clearly said (ie using a plural form), but it is very strongly implied that Vanquish Races exist in pretty much every Emigrant Fleet, and similar variants on Emigrant Planets.

From Nicolas' profile, air racing takes place in fleets and on planets already. The Vanquish races seem like the professional league of VF racing.

So, looks like we now know what Hakuna Aoba pilots now, VF-1X++ Hakuna spec. New fairings in front of the wings, modified nose, and boosters on the leg Super Parts.

that looks absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. :o

still liking the VF-19ACTIVE the best though.

Sweet.

I think this might just be one design that Yamato picks up.

Posted (edited)

I rather like the design myself. I wonder what it would look like with a Master File VF-1X as a base. I'm going to have to do a profile of that.

Yamato needs to jump on the Ride license. Don't like the "feathering" on that SV-52 though. <_<

I take it back...the more I look at it, the feathered ailerons  (plus after Davids A380 video) I can kind of dig them......and Lena....":wub: Never crushed on a Macross girl before, till now.B))

The VF-1 isn't up on FRAME OUT's website yet. I expect it to be up there in about 2 to 2.5 weeks.

However, there are some alternative views, and works in progress for the 3 existing kits:

And this is their MtR main page: http://frameout.blog67.fc2.com/blog-category-46.html

It's brilliant marketing strategy by both Dengeki and Hasegawa.

You commission a serialized story featuring Hasegawa kit customs and then publish it.

Dengeki and Model Graphics love to publish custom Valks, so to base a story exclusively on them is a great marketing gimick...;).

I am waiting for the "contest" for the readers to submit the "next" racer valk...

Thanks, Seto.

Here is the a pic you missed in the previous pages of this thread.

*Finally got a chance to get to my computer, today.

Wow, Kawamori finally got a VF-19MaxL into a story...:p

Posted

So, if hakuna's ride is that white VF-1X++, then whose VF is that in the end of the 1st frontier movie?

I still think (hope) it is Basara's.

Ok, did I miss something, or was the reason for the multi-segment Sv-52 ailerons never actually posted?

It was. See linky in signature

11 The reproduced replacement multistage flaps in the tips of the wings primarily act as a bluff, and are moved up and down. The arrangement that depicts a soft curve is interesting.

Interesting. Wonder if Kawamori was thinking of the F-14-----it's said that opponents learned to "read" the position of the wings as a clue for the plane's energy status---and soon after F-14 pilots started to adjust the wings manually to try to trick their opponenets.

Posted

I'm not sure how involved Kawamori-san is with these designs, other than (editorial) supervision. As Tenjin Hidetaka came up with the redesign artwork, I believe credit goes to him.

As for a connection to the F-14... unsure. The nuance in the translation is that it's simply a ploy used in racing. Might be based on the F-14, might not.

Are there any pics of these racers in Battroid and Gerwalk mode??

Not yet. Other than fighter mode, there has been, if memory serves, only one instance of a head being shown (the SV-52).

Posted

You'te right about that. Also, there are illustrations of the VF-1A in various modes. I was actually hoping to see more of the SV-52 and the YF-19.

Hopefully, more visuals or models will be showing up real soon.

Most of the visuals we've seen have been mostly in fighter mode because most of the visuals use kit-bashed 1/72 Hasegawa kits. This novel is being published by Dengeki Hobby, after all. And making a resin kit of more VFs would take some time as opposed to kit bashing a current model kit.

It's the 25th of the month (in Japan at least) and Dengeki's website has stuff from this month.

Not surprising...Hakuna's VF-1X++. The fact that one bad turn in that "bakemono" can lead to a "fireball", probably sheds some light on why Hakuna keeps losing in the big races.

Engine and performance specs of Hakuna's VF-1X++ (Hakuna Special):

2x L.A.I. ELA-3000 thermonuclear-burst turbine engine (maximum thrust in space 630 kN), emergency acceleration booster unit (output unknown), thrust reverser, 3D maneuvering nozzles. M4.8+ @ 10,000m, M19.0+ @ 30,000m and yes, the thing will turn on a dime.

The mag has quite a bit of juicy stuff:

- YF-29 Durandal buildup.

- YF-29 Durandal in alternative stickers

- Announcement of a 1/100 VF-29 to go with the YF-29 AND a 1/72 VF-25G Tornado Pack.

- Interview with Tenjin Hidetaka (!!!) About the YF-29.

- Macross the Forefront Column (DX Chougoukin VF-25G Tornado & YF-29, High-Metal VF-1 super parts, 1/60 VF-19Kai, & more)

- Macross The Ride with GERWALK picks! (VF-1++ AND VF-9 (?!?!?) for the win!)

- and the start of a new Macross the Ride tie-in column: "Vanquish Race Valkyrie Catalog 2058". This month features the VF-19A Brauhitsu sp.; piloted by Oscar Brauhitsch.

There's also a couple of pages in the figurine section dedicated to Macross (Ranka and Sheryl, SD Ranka and Sheryl, etc.).
