Graham Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Yep, definitely forearm guns. As I posted in the other thread, I guess they rotate 180° along the forearms, so that they can point forward in fighter mode. Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 That would be interesting. Make everyone think it's a warm hearted series then BOOM! 180 degrees in the 1st episode. (Just going with the what the anime series did) You still gonna need to get those 6 drakens. Each of those green/silver ones got their own markings. Muv-Luv total eclipse = total switch and bait. Start off with a bunch of moes then BANG almost all of them got blown away. Then you figure this is going to be a alien warfare is serious business anime, then BANG it turns into flight (high) school love triangle/ top gun show. Quote
Golden Arms Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Damn those are so awesome. Mad thanks to all of those who have shared pics. I'm definitely loving the color palate we are getting with both fighters. Quote

Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 here comes the double gun forearm forward pose! ala gundam wing-zero... Didn't Milia already did that in her Q-Rau in DYRL? Quote
seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Didn't Milia already did that in her Q-Rau in DYRL? yes, and now we can replicate that in a valk! pose them together LOL.... Quote
Raptor One Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Those forearm guns looks sweet. I wonder why they decided to go with the -25 style torso and not the -30 style. Well, it does seem to make for a better Gerwalk mode. Hmm, maybe for stability in battroid mode. No more brace required. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm perfectly ok with a 25 style torso really (except I've never liked how unstable the head mechanism is on all the recent valks). The YF-30's torso was kind of just a mess of folds, and if that's what it took to get the missile pod to fold away nicely, I'm all for it. Quote

SuperHobo Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If Bandai finally figures out a way to get the chest plate, backplate and neck plate to lock together in battroid mode I will pick up this VF-31 otherwise I can pass no matter how good the show is. No more relying on hinge tightness and gravity! Quote
seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So if the VF-31 is a new valk, then would you plonk $ for a first release? I thk the consensus b4 was if its a 30 makeover, it would be reasonably ok. However am not sure if the 31 constitutes new transformation sequences or structure in any way different from the 30... yes, and now we can replicate that in a valk! pose them together LOL.... and dont forget abt this pose too Quote
spanner Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 From TagHobby. image.jpg image.jpg that was choc full of sooo much awesome!!! Quote

Shukenzero Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So far it looks great. Such a Macross Plus thing going with the two valk designs. Wonder how far along Bandai is with the production, seeing as they already have full colour prototypes. Hope that means we don't have to wait very long for preorders to pop. Remember when the 30 was still a white model on display? Quote
treatment Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 From Toysdaily Geezus. Battroid looks as boringly dorky as those Eureka Seven mechas. Dafuq, Kawamori? Quote
seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 where is the turrent action on the battroid? Maybe the 31 can put its arms together and pull this pose off. LOL and sprout dragoons too... Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 where is the turrent action on the battroid? LOL and sprout dragoons too... You mean the turret? It's on the head. Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Geezus. Battroid looks as boringly dorky as those Eureka Seven mechas. Dafuq, Kawamori? Yeah, the 31 battroid is very frontierish. And to think a lot of board members here losing their mind saying the 31 is a completely new valk compare to the 30. The core of the VF-31 is still very much a 30. A different wing configuration and a few differences here and there and it's omg a new VALK! where is the turrent action on the battroid? LOL and sprout dragoons too... That 31 has a single laser mounted on top of its head aka CF style. The missile pod is the dragoons in Delta. Missiles spam instead of beam spam.

Kanedas Bike Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks for all of the pics! Whatever complaints I have are small, especially since I know I'm going to end up buying at least 1 anyway. & for Battroid -b. Quote

Missiles spam instead of beam spam. The missile pod isnt really showing the new blue and white vf31 tho, due to lack of visibility of any missile bays ala vf-30....who knows it may turn up on the others... Quote

Zonnet Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So the Macross Delta is another show with 12-16 year old main characters and massive weird hairdos. I hate it that Macross is really going off the anime deep end. It seems that Macross Plus was and will ever be the pinnacle of this series. VF-31 is YF-30 with better fighter mode and worse battroid mode. Not impressed, at all. Edited October 29, 2015 by Zonnet Quote
Sandman Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 are there any guys in this show???? Did you miss the boy band posing with the Drakens? Quote
calubin_175 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I hope they don't end up releasing all 10 VFs. If so they'll probably differentiate them with super parts. Back in Frontier we did get the 4 SMS + Brera, and then all the VF-171 and YF-29 later. Quote
seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 are there any guys in this show???? nice question... Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 From Toysdaily I like it. But for now it's not an instant buy for me. I will wait first for a Red Black White/Tan variant. Quote

The missile pod will be Bandai online exclusive. Come on now, you know the rule. are there any guys in this show???? No, just girls and girls pretending to be guys. I like it. But for now it's not an instant buy for me. I will wait first for a Red Black White/Tan variant. Agreed, I'm more interested in the SV-262 right now. Edited October 29, 2015 by Reaction Warhead Quote

Yea, i would be going for the valks with insignia's on the back... Plus, it looks like the front swept canards merge to form the shoulder pads in battroid mode! Thats something to look out for in transformation!... The missile pod will be Bandai online exclusive. Come on now, you know the rule. No, just girls and girls pretending to be guys. How could i have forgotten the golden goose rule, i just mentioned it with the red variant! thanks for the reminder and explanation... Quote
McFly!! Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks indeed for the pics, trailer, and translations! Bandai start the preorders now! XD Quote

It has the 25 torso sequence and the 30 shoulder/arm sequence. Curious on what kind of pod it carries since it doesn't look like a traditional 25 shield. Edited October 29, 2015 by no3ljm Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 image.jpg Looks like they are hosting the event in a pretty bad neighborhood. Just look at all the graffiti on that Macross Delta poster. Quote

Back in Frontier we did get the 4 SMS + Brera, and then all the VF-171 and YF-29 later. I think that only Brera's ghosts weren't released as toys (still hoping though). All CFs, yf-25, RVF-171, Koenig, even the q-raus if you consider robot tamashii, were churned out. If this is what we should expect for delta, I'm praying that the GLAUG in the trailer transforms!
