505thAirborne Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Heh, October 29th is my birthday! They remembered........LOL The craft at the back looks like some sort of Ghost to me also. Liking what little we can make out of the VF in the foreground. 'Im Oct 28th! So I'm calling this a birthday gift, plus any Valks I pick up! The teaser artwork looks good, hope the character design are good. We should live so long that Mikimoto is back on board.
abbadon Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Great news! Can't wait to see what more will be revealed Oct. 29!
wmkjr Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) The front valk reminds me of a Morgan from Ace Combat but with the vertical stabilizers smaller and on a Wyvern type wings. And the other one a draken. Edited September 25, 2015 by wmkjr
wmkjr Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Nice pic! But it was fun to guess the shapes of the valks. It's got the yf-30 style pod. Edited September 25, 2015 by wmkjr
Mr March Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Well, we wanted different, those certainly look quite different. They are taking the name "Delta" quite literally That top craft almost looks like a variable fighter version of a Saab Draken Edited September 25, 2015 by Mr March
Save Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hi-Res Macross Delta image over at official site.
abbadon Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Cool! Single booster variable fighter! Or is it a Ghost? Edited September 25, 2015 by abbadon
nel2012 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 so it begins...... Red vs Blue???? GASP! *________________*
Graham Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Heavy Saab Draken influence in that fighter at the back, along with a color scheme somewhat reminiscent of Nora's SV-51. The blue and white VF definitely looks like the love child of a YF-30 and VF-19. And yeah, I agree that is almost certainly a YF-30 type weapons pod between the legs. Is it just me or do the lower legs of the white and blue VF seem to have a bit of Meltrandi Q-Rau styling? Note no NUNS or SMS markings on either craft! Maybe the marking on the tail of the blue and white VF represents Another PMC group, or possibly an independent colony? Hope this is not an anime about VF racing........urghhhhh! As much as I enjoyed looking at the pretty pictures in the 'Macross The Ride', books I personally have zero interest in seeing an anime about VF racing. Graham
Tochiro Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hmmm... a planet in the logo.Planet Dance Confirmed! lol

antibiotictab Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 More news was revealed on Twitter. Well, never stops... According to the official tweet, the new Macross exclusive plamodel bland, "Macross Modellers" will be launched. Not only one manufacturer, but some other ones also join in it.
Mr March Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 The red Saab Draken-like craft looks like an enemy craft, not only becuase of the colors but also the lack of a transparent cockpit, which has often been associated with the antagonist craft.
no3Ljm Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hmmm... Hope there will be a Red, White and Black stripe motif on this one. Sure buy for me.
ChaoticYeti Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Alien enemy mecha? Nice! I am digging the fighter mode on the 30ish. Much better integration of the vertical stabs over the Chronos. I'd be down for some 19-esque hip thingies.
VF-15 Banshee Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Also, I don't see any SMS or NUNS logos...?

If the one piloting the Red one wears red and wears a mask or sunglasses and the other one had special abilities I'd trip. Edited September 25, 2015 by wmkjr
Graham Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm wondering if the Draken VF is blue not red. Looking at the nosecone, it looks more like dark blue to me. Graham
skiman94 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Soon...I can't wait for October to get here
treatment Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 i foresee ridiculously moar back kibble respectively from these two in battroid-mode...
ChaoticYeti Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm wondering if the Draken VF is blue not red. Looking at the nosecone, it looks more like dark blue to me. Graham There isn't a whole lot of information there.
Graham Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Ha, this is gonna end up like that white-gold or blue-black dress meme from earlier this year. Anyway, I'm calling dark blue with yellow trim (ala YF-21) on the Draken-esq VF. Graham
wolfx Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 One thing is for sure. The "Hero Valk" 's air frame and basic transformation will be very similar to Frontier-era valks. Not sure if that's a good thing. As much as I loved the Frontier-era valks I was hoping for a whole new revolutionary valkyrie with new transformation scheme. But really I' m not sure how would Kawamori improve on it. Anyway, anyone wanna start naming the Valks? To continue the Arthurian theme: VF-34 Lancelot? VF-37 Mordred? XD
Graham Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Given that we previously heard that Delta is only set a few years after Frontier (I forget how many), it's not surprising that the airframe and basic transformation of the hero VF will likely be similar to Frontier-era / Macross 30 era VFs. Anyway, from what we can see of the design, it's pushing all the right buttons for me so far. I just hope it's a military VF, in a conflict / war based story. I really don't want see a Macross anime about racing VFs, basketball playing VFs or sky surfing VFs.....yuk! Graham
Skull Leader Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm over the forward-swept wing fad. It worked well enough for the YF/VF-19 I suppose, but I didn't really care for it in the VF-9 or the YF-29. Just my personal tastes though. Am I alone in saying I'd rather see some kind of SW1 side story (much in the same vein as Gundam's 08th MS Team)? Or a story that took place during the reconstruction?
Graham Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 A reconstruction era story would make a cool OVA IMO. Graham
seti88 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 the draken valk looks interesting fi wonder how they will pull off the battroid mode...most likely there will be a sharks fin on his back of some sort... the yf-30 (soon to be vf) lookalike was expected so not much of a surprise there tho ..liking some of the reinforcement holes on the side of the thrusters ... and ....it looks like an updated macross zero poster of some sort? i thk there was talk of going more character development somewhere...

I really don't want see a Macross anime about racing VFs, basketball playing VFs or sky surfing VFs.....yuk! Graham Frontier is 2059. Delta is 2067 based on the first post of this thread. So its only 8 years. As for war based story, yes please. No hippy pacifism via power of song, no eco-preservation undertones. Considering the world's current affairs, i wonder if it might have themes of terrorism, racial discrimination, refugees, etc. Maybe enough human worlds are colonised and some worlds decide to go to war with others over limited resources. I'm over the forward-swept wing fad. It worked well enough for the YF/VF-19 I suppose, but I didn't really care for it in the VF-9 or the YF-29. Just my personal tastes though. Am I alone in saying I'd rather see some kind of SW1 side story (much in the same vein as Gundam's 08th MS Team)? Or a story that took place during the reconstruction? You're not alone. I've been dreaming up a SW1 side story following a rag-tag squad of Destroids + Valks engaged in guerilla warfare with the occupying Zentran garrison forces. It features retro-fitted military hardware and valks going hand-to-hand with Zentradi soldiers in jungle settings. Takes place somewhere after the Macross folds away from Earth (the ones left behind on earth) until its eventual return. Unfortunately the only way we'll ever see such a side story is via visual novels, manga, or video games or stay in the realm of fan-fiction.
ivorysniper Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 The engine nozzles/battroid feet on the white and blue bird look like the ones on the FF-3001 engine..... and the other valk seems to be brainwave-controlled......... Interesting....... Macross Plus ???.......
jos3m Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 the "enemy" valk feels like a yf-21, hope to see a meltran like battroid.
Mr March Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I wonder if it's even possible that red-Draken-like craft could be single-engine. THat would certainly be different.
treatment Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 8 years after, eh? There might moar bugroms to, uhmm, fight or something...
