Moosey Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 The silhouette looks a little Su-47 Berkut-ish. I hope there are design elements that clearly set it apart from -29/-30 although its obvious that's where it is being developed from. Quote
jenius Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 We know the odds are very good that many elements from the YF-30 toy will be also true of the VF-31 (hence why Bandai bothered making the YF-30). Soooooo... pretty good bet the VF-31 is a YF-30 with different wings and some canards (which likely means a big missile pod). I really hope the real stabilizers on the VF-31 pivot upward to get tucked into the back... I really hate the way they drop down on the YF-30 battroid. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Given what the poster showed, I think the tails are much more incorporated into the wing structure this time, it looked like the tail roots stretched nearly the entire chord of the wing, so there's going to be no stupid spinny-pin-hinge tails this time. At best, they'll probably fold flat. Now, if they can just get those hand covers to look a little more streamlined in fighter mode. The YF-30 ones weren't terrible, but they didn't blend in very well at all when the hands were inside. Also, I'll be interested to see a new take on the gadget copter launcher, hopefully this one actually has the option of folding away. Quote
spanner Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 loving that siloutte, im looking forward that VF-31. ill pay anything they ask me for with this: tumblr_mjlmlzPWd81s4rdzuo1_500.jpg agreed! "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced." Screw the wallet.. I may as well just give Bandai direct debit access to my bank account! Quote
Moosey Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So will it be codenamed "Felix" or "tomcatter" in honour of the USN squadron that shares it's name? Edited October 29, 2015 by Moosey Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So will it be codenamed "Felix" or "tomcatter" in honour of the USN squadron that shares it's name? ST2115_1_Large.jpg Would be cool if they did!! Quote
treatment Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So the vf-31 silhouette is a yf-29 with winglets instead of tail-wings, huh? Edited October 29, 2015 by treatment Quote
spanner Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So the vf-31 silhouette is a yf-29 with winglets instead of tail-wings, huh? apart from the style of the rear main wings which we still haven't gotten a proper look at but overall its silhouette more so resembles a 30.. I reckon anyway. Edited October 29, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
jenius Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So we've seen the wedding parties but where are the bride and groom? Quote
Firefox Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Obviously based on these two real life fighters: Saab 35 Draken and Su-47 Quote

treatment Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 DELTA4.jpg Pics from the press conference uhh... Those characters are like some rejects from Love Live or whatever crap anime idol shows are currently being shown these days. Next thing we know, there'll be a an actual Ship-girls design getting integrated into the Macross series... Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 My impression... MACROSS X AKB48 Collaboration desu ne. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 at least initially NO STADIUM LIGHTS in the launch pic. (but i think i saw a shadow of it in the trailer) since it's not mandatory and optional. best news ever. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 uh, well that's all... interesting. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So all the VF pilots are chicks? While most of the SV pilots are dudes? Quote

spanner Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 im impressed!!! those Valks are beautiful! Oh I can't wait to spend soooo much money on these!!! woo! Quote
mickyg Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So all the VF pilots are chicks? While most of the SV pilots are dudes? I'm very interested in hearing about why there's an SV anything at all. I thought those were long gone before the first space war. I'm looking forward to finding out about the story for this series. Quote
Mommar Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I definitely like the 0D-like Gerwalk on the 31. Quote
