Negotiator Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 The tabs are on the inside of the wing root. You can lock it into the raised chest. Just massage it to the correct angle. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) GERWALK was so underused in the show. They need to make a macross plus 2 where Dyson goes to prison for damaging the SDF-1 because nobody realised it was hacked and all witnesses to the event were hypnotised so they didn't believe his story after he explained what actually happened. They also blame him for Guld's death and do some testing to see if his corpse has any clues to what happened and they assume he was murdered. YF-19 is given brainwave control system and is upgraded and a new test pilot must master the machine. It has an autonomous mode which kicks in after a pilot is not inside the cockpit so it can fly by itself but this can be switched off at will. Problem is, it becomes self aware through natural means and keeps making the pilot look like a fool in front of the girls and it falls in love with the pilot causing the first Mech to Human romance in the macross universe. The military are about to scrap the project as a new transforming drone is created to replace pilots again and the test pilot and machine work together in defeating it. The mech gets hacked by the transforming drones (which are secretly AI controlled and not mere programs running under human program controls) and the mech turns against the test pilot ejecting him from the plane. Only singing will awaken the yf-19 to revert back to its old self and the mech whisperer test pilot regains control over it so he can defeat the evil drones which have an AI controlling them. The mech flies down and rescues him by grabbing him with its arm in GERWALK modes just like Hikaru saving minmay. YF-19 makes a tactical decision: fight inside the SDF-1 to take advantage of the limited space and kill the transforming drone in GERWALK mode by shield ramming it and blowing it up with a close quarters gunpod death move (pin point barrier on the tip of the gunpod nozzle). After the drone's decisive defeat, everyone is happy that humans combined with autonomous robots are victorious. (the autonomous robot doesn't let the human's brainwaves and thoughts do dangerous things and acts like a co-pilot if the pilot does something reckless) Because it was too expensive they later take out the brainwave controls and the autonomous mode of the yf-19 and that is why no VF-19 have this system in it. The end of macross plus 2. Everyone celebrates the importance of the YF-19's GERWALK mode because without it, the test pilot would not have been able to defeat the drone if he couldn't have the mech sweep down and save him in time despite its butt-ugliness.

anime52k8 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 How so, the arms are lower than the wings, even the box back shows the rear fuselage Lifted higher then the main. The rear at least on the P, won't / can't lock in With the arms out. what Negotiator said, those tabs are enough to make it perfectly solid on mine. Quote

anime52k8 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 >snip< Serious question; are you high right now? Quote
Raptor One Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 No, he is low..... I laughed way too hard at this Quote
Loop Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 OK back on topic LOL. I think it would be awesome if they gave us 2 pilots. 1x Isamu with the normal helmet headsculpt and 1x Isamu without the helmet and some blood on his face. Quote
r_hunter85 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 What about a Newman and Isamu combo figure with the headbutt! Quote
usagiz Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 How about the price tag? I feel that I need to prepare myself for 30000+ yen... Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 It can't be anymore than the VF-4, unless they want to already start digging... Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 What about a Newman and Isamu combo figure with the headbutt! How about a tiny naked Sharon apple coming out of the main console. Quote
r_hunter85 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 How about a tiny naked Sharon apple coming out of the main console. Thats pretty brilliant. lol. Its Canon and Carnal. Maybe Neuman can have a gun to Isamu's head too. Then we could have a trifecta of sex, violence, and anime accuracy. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I thought of Sharon, too. But yeah, Newman is much more needed/appropriate. And they already made one for the FAST pack set, so I'd like to see an improved version of him. Quote

Graham Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'd really like to see an all grey version with low-vis SMS markings as seen in Macross 30. Graham Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 That´s the color of the canopy on Sayonara no Tsubasa.... So, if they are doing THAT version, they´ll do the superparts, and yes, it should have the SMS markings on the sticker sheet just guessing... Quote
CoreyD Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Interesting, but that's also not technically "Macross Plus"... Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Interesting, but that's also not technically "Macross Plus"... Having Sheryl and Klang in the facebook pic says a lot too.... Edited July 10, 2013 by Astro_BS-AS Quote
raptormesh Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Well in that case I'll stick with my v2. I know they'll include options for both plus and frontier version but I'm not very fond of purple canopies. Quote
AlphaOne Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Please tell me they're painting the black stripes on the wings and fuselage 😬 Quote
AlphaOne Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Can someone post on their Facebook a plea to change the canopy color and to verify if the stripes are being tampo printed or if they're decals? I would but I don't have Facebook. Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 It seems that Kawamori LOVES purple.... Let´s face it, the canopy will be purple, and we´ll buy it anyway Quote
raptormesh Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 It seems that Kawamori LOVES purple.... Let´s face it, the canopy will be purple, and we´ll buy it anyway Nah I won't be. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 It seems that Kawamori LOVES purple.... Let´s face it, the canopy will be purple, and we´ll buy it anyway Jajajjaja...dont care the purple canopy....i will buy it anyway. Quote
AlphaOne Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I hope that the macross kite is tampoed, I remember having a hard time lining up the kites on the neck area Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) It seems that Kawamori LOVES purple.... Let´s face it, the canopy will be purple, and we´ll buy it anyway Purple? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! please nooooooooooo!!!! Edited July 10, 2013 by MILKAUTICO Quote
Loop Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, I hope they don't forget the tampo print on the wings and the kites. Not really digging the purple canopy at all. It actually looks like they are going for the frontier version of Isamu, but I don't remember him having a purple canopy in the film. I could be remembering wrong. Quote
