Dynaman Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Did someone already mention that Delta is the 4th letter in the Greek alphabet and this is the 4th Macross TV Series? (In addition to all the other possibilities already listed - little touches like this really make things fun)
iceberg Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Warning, sarcasm! What! There are no triangles in Macross! Certainly no love triangles! Now if only BE would do something about getting this to the States.
JB0 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I think the Δ is deeply symbolic. It's a triangle. Three sides, three angles. That's connected to Macross in a deep and profound way. A Valkyrie has three modes, three transformations. The love triangle. Three people, three relationships. Zentradi, Vajra, Protodeviln. Three major antagonists. Three is clearly important, not just to Macross Δ, but to the franchise as a whole. And then there's Robotech. Three unrelated series, three edit lists to combine them. In light of this, I think it's clear that the Δ can only mean one thing. The new show is about the SDF-3. Macross Δ: The Sentinels. Callin' it now. (And then there's me. BS, ???, Profit. Ladies and gentlemen, JB0 Δ )
gunbuster76 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 damnit. a whole new set of valks ima need. T_T
Gubaba Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 In light of this, I think it's clear that the Δ can only mean one thing. The new show is about the SDF-3. And according to the VF-1 Master File, the SDF-3 is Britai's flagship. Heavens! What does it all MEAN???
Zinjo Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) WOW two back to back series! That is a first for Macross! Usually we might get one OVA series and then have to wait several years until a new series is announced. Edited October 20, 2014 by Zinjo
maestrotaku Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) delta has 3 sides, for me those sides representive a generation...."the original", "frontier" and a "brand new", all this supported by the picture and the crazy idea about a portal that gathered different generations on the game Macross 30 Edited October 20, 2014 by maestrotaku
Black Valkyrie Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 May be the main ship transforms into Delta City from Robocop .
vsim Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Hurray! I hope they bring Basara into the story (runs and hides)
Nekko Basara Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Perhaps it's not a delta... perhaps it is a shark fin! Space sharks hunt the space whales, until Basara flies in and makes them all have a dance party with the power of his song! (And Gamlin awkwardly sways to the beat.)
Zinjo Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Just to be clear, it's not clear if the triangle/delta symbol is supposed to be read as "delta". There is nothing on the few images released so far that hint or suggest at how we're supposed to read it. It could very well be "Macross Triangle", or even something bizarre as "Macross Turn Triangle" (a la "Gundam Turn A". As much as I'd like to throw my support into the "it's a Greek letter" camp (as Kawamori-san has a penchant for appending Greek letters to enemy Valkyries), I'm inclined to opt for the "it's a stylized triangle", because love triangles are one of the core themes of Macross, and the hero Valkyries get Roman letters, not Greek ones! You likely have a point there. From a story standpoint, it could use triangles as a theme. Love triangles, conflict triangles (micro or macro) which could open many fascinating possibilities... delta has 3 sides, for me those sides representive a generation...."the original", "frontier" and a "brand new", all this supported by the picture and the crazy idea about a portal that gathered different generations on the game Macross 30 I sure hope you are mistaken!! Rainbow music beams were enough for one lifetime, adding time travel portals would be pushing even that! Unless BW is targeting a demographic younger than 12 this time... One thing I really hope BW has learned that if they add English subs / dubs to their disc releases, they will sell more copies internationally! Edited October 20, 2014 by Zinjo
Legioss Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I'm worried I'll have to move because there's no room on my desk for Macross Δ figures. Let's see. I could clear off some stuff and gather some around Lum. There's some room to fit one more behind Klan...

Wait, we are ALL doomed then... Edited October 20, 2014 by Zinjo
Astralith Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Horrible thought... what if we get a cross-series comedic show with SD characters and mecha in the same vein as Teen Titans Go! Another speculation... The cultural rift between M-Frontier and M-Galaxy may have foreshadowed future colonial conflicts like the 17th century English, Spanish and French Empires (Dutch too but not so much). There's a TRIANGLE! Edited October 20, 2014 by Astralith

There's a TRIANGLE! Having a Macross cold war would be cool! The UN Federation vs a block of colony worlds and fleets. That would make for some interesting drama. Just no black and white villans please, shades of grey to create controversy ala original MS Gundam style. Edited October 21, 2014 by Zinjo
Gerli Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Maybe some kind of Imperial power emerges and the old fashioned UNSpacy members and Separatist Colonies star a civil war across the galaxy (Three factions?)
skullmilitia Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Perhaps a UNSpacy , SMS fallout. .. Almost another triangle Left Earth's civil wars, to fight Aliens, to win to civil war again. Perhaps a civil war, that leads to actually meeting the protoculture. A civil war between SMS and NUNS would be pure mecha porn. And broken wallets. Lol Orrrrr we are just way overthinking it, and it's just the name of another city ship lol Edited October 21, 2014 by skullmilitia
Jasonc Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Delta Force. Better be some Chuck Norris, dammit!!!
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 i hope it's Skull One to Delta One's... offspring.
JB0 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 And according to the VF-1 Master File, the SDF-3 is Britai's flagship. Heavens! What does it all MEAN???I hadn't even noticed that! Britai is the focal point of the love triangle this time! ... Actually, that would be hilarious. I kinda want to see this.
SuperSenpai Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Calling it now: Shoji Kawamori and Shigeru Miyamoto are teaming up to bring you... Macross Triforce!
Renato Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I think I remember there being a "Delta War" at some point in the 2030s or something within the official Macross continuity. Back when there was one, I mean.

jenius Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Cedar Pollen Syndrome? I just googled it and learned something new. Oh, also that Delta War thing sounds cool. I hope a future Macross series explores the events closer to the original series. Then again, I'm always happy for new Macross.
Marzan Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Perhaps a UNSpacy , SMS fallout. .. Almost another triangle Left Earth's civil wars, to fight Aliens, to win to civil war again.

Lol Orrrrr we are just way overthinking it, and it's just the name of another city ship lol Most probably the latter to be honest. Or it's the name of an idol academy. "DELTA Idol Academy: Where legends are born"
Nekko Basara Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Macross a trois! That's a good title...Love. It.
Gerli Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So... that silouette in the back... is the Idol character already designed or just a placeholder draw?
azrael Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So... that silouette in the back... is the Idol character already designed or just a placeholder draw? Placeholder for the idol/singer character. "Your face could be here!"-type of thing. It would be nice if they would release some of the auditions to social media. Unless they want a certain talent.
aceoftherebellion Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So... that silouette in the back... ... is the Idol character already designed or just a placeholder draw? Definitely a placeholder. Looking at her hair, it's just another drawing of minmay that's been blocked out.
Knight26 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Hmm, so it is set 8 years after frontier, I wonder if any characters will make an appearance and what fallout there will be from Frontier. Will we see Valks with Varja tech or even a Varja main character?

Will we see Valks with Varja tech or even a Varja main character? There might be a repeat character a la Max and Miria in Macross 7? My money is on Luca, all grown up, finally wearing trousers instead of shorts.
