The front end bears a passing resemblance to the Logan from Southern Cross/Masters Saga. Now there's an idea... "let's make it look like a relative of a design that was considered a nigh-useless flying coffin both in the original Southern Cross AND in Robotech".

A million monkeys throwing spaghetti at the wall are bound to paint the Mona Lisa eventually.

It's also equally probable that they're going to make a nice replica of that "Monkey Jesus" mural, or wind up printing a page from the New York Times. The odds of coming up with something that people actually want to see are not very favorable.
Einherjar Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Does the mecha really matter if they they aren’t really used much in the comic beyond token appearances? Nova’s mom supposedly pilots one, but can you really tell at this point? Edited July 30, 2019 by Einherjar

Chronocidal Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Given the quality of the comic, I'm picturing the droppings looking below them, and falling up instead, because of some quantum string shenanigans that has to do with overly-massive concentrations of the stuff.

True, landing on a copy of Titan Comics' Robotech is a dire fate even for bird feces... but gravity is a terribly harsh mistress who doesn't play favorites. It's not like the comic is fit for anything else apart from, perhaps, kindling. It's certainly not meant to be read, except outside of the countries where the constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. 15 minutes ago, pengbuzz said: Gives new meaning to the term "prepare for fold". Reminds me of a line from Blackadder Goes Forth... "Ah, yes, without question my favorite magazine; soft, strong, and thoroughly absorbent."

DewPoint Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I'm no aircraft engineer, but would the vertical stabilizers even do anything with all that stuff in front of it?

See, while I can agree that's a good point to make, I believe all relevant discussions over whether it would work at all fall out of importance before the weight of just how ugly the thing is. When you design a craft that operates 99% on "rule of cool" you have to at least make the design attractive, or the entire point of the thing falls flat on its face. (See also: the bombers from TLJ )
DewPoint Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Why'd you have to go there? Strapping seats to mines does NOT make them a bomber. That being said, I totally agree with you.

anime52k8 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Just a pet peeve of mine but I hate it when people interpret the VF-1 as having stupid thick wedge shaped LERXs because that's what the old 1/55s had; as if the old toys where at all accurate, or even that sleek looking.
Chronocidal Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I think the funniest part is when people actually model the old 1/55 leg swingbars right into the airframe, as if that's how the show shows them working, let alone how they would work on a full-sized aircraft. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see fan art that included giant-sized foot-diameter phillips-head screws sticking out at various points on their aircraft.
Gerli Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 This article is about that new Remix Comic, there some interesting bits of information about the plot that picked my curiosity. https://www.denofgeek.com/us/books/robotech/282526/remixing-the-robotech-saga?fbclid=IwAR3N43YNASVEGY7n7QIFsrU6ptT2Rl1bacGy8bBvkYs2BmUIaiqykxFdF7M
Bolt Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 I will say it’s interesting. Sure can hate on it and name call , but I’d rather just say.. It’s interesting how Macross is constantly being referenced in this interview. It really triggers me. RT is NOT Macross. Why is it that they keep sucking off it so? (rhetorical..) I get that BF is a fan of Macross and up to date on it , but when he says something like Dana Sterling is a child of hero’s from the Macross arc, I get annoyed . Just keep it RT and go watch Macross 7 you ***! Oops , name called.. I will agree that RT’s. Nova would have been a better representation of the Genius offspring than DS. That would have made a much more interesting arc..but you did your best with what you got. I could say meaner things, but won’t. ultimately, I feel like BF is trying to do good by his contemporaries in this cluster F**k while trying to reconcile the fact that it’s all a rip off from other people’s original work. Well , while the pay check rolls in, keep on keeping on.. Something none of these people are acknowledging is that it doesn’t matter how many twists and turns they attempt to gymnastics through , it’s all a rip off ..Just stay away from Macross already! Good luck BF. I hope it works out for you. Maybe it’s working for RT fans that never heard of Macross (or don’t care, I know there’s plenty that don’t). But none of this works out for (this) Macross (fan)fans. (I haven’t mentioned the other 2 shows even..) Just my opinion.

In fairness, HG has spent years calling part one of Robotech "The Macross Saga", so ... he can't really be blamed for this one?
Einherjar Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I can’t help but think that the staff at Titan Comics did interviews with similar talking points as this BF guy years ago as this series started. It might end up the same way story and quality-wise despite the overly positive outlook the creators have. Oof, don’t want to be in BF’s shoes when his comic comes out after the Floating Head’s statement. Edited August 3, 2019 by Einherjar
Knight26 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Well, the latest issue of this abomination is out. And well, yep old school Robotech tracery comics are back, and really badly too.

Einherjar Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Old_Nash, knowing you please don’t start a new thread for the next comic. Just rename the thread to encompass this era of the franchise. For instance, the “We Don’t Care Anymore Chronicles.”

Knight26 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 This preview page about says it all. I think that foreground valk is straight off of an old Hasegawa box. And Iknow we've seen that Super Valk in a million other places.

Dynaman Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Wait? Ending already. Has there been any of the interpersonal relationships Macross was famous for in the comic? If so it must have been one or two panels between toothy grins.

I think any semblance of a love triangle and character development the main three were supposed to have died with Captain Global and replaced with too much plot exposition and Furmanisms.
