Kicker773 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Then I need to rotate it. There were no images of it in the manual. Was it an S or a D used to escape the arms dealer ship in dynamite? Quote

IXTL Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 The valk is green. Wasn't referring to the fold booster. http://macross2.net/m3/macross7/variant-vf-17d-teal.htm Quote
Knightdramon Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Really, green? Need to watch the OVA again, but I could have sworn it was black with white or light blue wingstripes. Oh well Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 ooooohhh.....interesting. thanks for the idea =) Quote
Graham Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Diamond Force also used Fold Boosters in the tv series. Graham Quote
IXTL Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) There was a whole squadron of green (or teal) VF-17s with the Macross 7 fleet in MD7. I'll try to get a screencap. Edited January 17, 2013 by IXTL Quote

It's been a few years since I last watched MD7, but I don't recall any teal VF-17 with the M7 fleet. IIRC, the teal VF-17 was the one Lisa stole from the pirates. Graham Quote
3D-Brainx Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Is this the one you guys are talking about? It's in Dynamite 7 episode 3 Quote

IIRC, the teal VF-17 was the one Lisa stole from the pirates. Graham There is but it's not very noticeable. IIRC, it's in the first episode where we see the M7 fleet undergoing extensive repair. We see quite a few teal 17s among the fleet. There are also repair/maintenance VF-1s in that scene. Quote
Graham Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Can anybody get a screen cap of the VF-17 with fold booster from the TV series. Can't remember which ep. Graham Quote
Loop Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 LOL yeah, there are too many to go through to find it. Quote
Graham Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Should be around the middle of the series I think. After City 7 gets fold-jacked by the Varauta and Battle 7 are trying to locate them. Graham Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 hmm it really looks like standard Vf17D. Then again the last time I saw it was on VHS. I didn't get to the new remastered version where they showed it. Actually now that I remember on the DVD it was blue/black. Quote

Screencaps as promised. These are from the 1st MD7 episode, abut 10min in. There were less VF-17s than I remembered. Pardon my fuzzy memory. Only 3 and they were colored like the one hijacked by Laiza Hoilie in episode 3. Probably just Diamond Force. And here's the maintenance/repair VF-1. Edited January 17, 2013 by IXTL Quote
BlueMax Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 /) Yamato needs to make the VT-1Cs. I would by the 3 (or is there more?) different versions Quote
Mommar Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'd take one of those green VF-17's and a maintenance VF-1 if Yamato made them. They will have to get creative with that welders mask chest plate though, i.e. part-swapping likely. Quote
Phalanix Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Debating whether I should get a VF-17, can't say I'm a huge fan of it (thus I never jumped on it, nor the huge HLJ sale during the holidays), but the collector in me still want to get at least one (VF-171 lineage). LOL Which one would you guys recommend, the 17S or 17D? I was thinking of the 17S since it's a little more unique (different head) - the 17D's head is a bit similar to the 171's head. Then again, there may be a Milia release in the future so I wouldn't feel the urge to complete the Diamond force wing/squadron/whatever. Thoughts / suggestions? Quote

I think the S's head looks way more bad-ass but I'm not a fan of yellow so I like the look of the stripes on the D a lot more. If you're thinking unique head the S sure does look like a brute in Battroid though. Quote
locidm Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I was just watching M7 last night, the episode where they visit planet Lux (can't remember name exactly) and they were attacked and an awesome armored VF-11 went on a suicide mission to save the day. What is the name of that armored VF-11?? Quote

If you're thinking unique head the S sure does look like a brute in Battroid though. Yup, I think the light blue stripes look better on the D than the yellow. The yellow stripe sort of contradicts the "stealth" look the Diamond Force VF-17 was going for. lol Still, I think I was leaning towards the 17S because of the head and that it's something different. But if that's the case, maybe I'll just wait for the Milia version (if that comes out). As I've said, the 17D's head is similar to the 171. You're right too in that it depends on what I'll be displaying the valk predominately in. Gaah, tough call. Quote
sil80jdm Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Well let this be the factor the D is $100 more than the S Quote
ErikElvis Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I like the S head. But the D stripes are better. But yeah you cant really go wrong either way. Quote

lechuck Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I was going to ask the same thing... I could see myself pick up another one if Yamato released one with that animation colouring. Quote
dizman Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'm loving that maintenance vf-1, especially the welders canopy cover. Quote

Kurisama Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Ahem. This is my next project - a 1/60 APS-11 :-) Quote
Renato Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I remember several people were making mods of them, but I'm not sure if any were ever completed. Quote
