isamuDyson Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Mine is definitely VF-25, especially Ozuma's Armored VF-25, closely followed by YF-19 (though the picture is that of my VF-19) It cost me some pretty pennies to get the VF-25 renewal+their armor/super packs, but I don't regret the purchase haha.

Slave IV Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Definitely the VF-1. Changed the entire game, put an entire line of toys (Transformers) to shame and the same to all the other cartoons we had in the US. I love the idea and look of adding Super Parts and especially love the armored versions. Quote
peter Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 VF-1. I like my low vis, but my favourite is Roy's 1S, which still eludes my collection Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Well, looking at my collection, it's obviously the YF-19. I think I have 8x 1/60 transforming ones, plus 3x VF-19s, plus various non-transforming figures, diecasts, and model kits (still need to build my Hasegawa 1/48 w/ etched parts). Quote
sqidd Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 It has to be the VF-1S Focker for me. There is a LOT of nostalgia in the mix though. Purely on anesthetics: - YF-19 -VF-31 -YF-21 Quote
Knight26 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) V/YF-19 Series are tied in my list beside the OG VF-1. The YF-21/VF-22 come a close second. Third would be the VF-31 series. 4th the VF-0D Now this may be considered sacrilege, but I actually don't like the VF-25 series. Edited October 10, 2019 by Knight26 Quote

Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 VF-1S, because it was the 1st and only Macross Valkyrie I ever had. I have the Transformers Jetfire version. I paid $15 for it. Quote
rdrunner Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The VF-1 started it all for me 35 years ago. It remains my favourite valk design today. Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 My favorites from each Macross show... Macross TV: The "Booby Duck" from episode 24... what would later be referred to as the VF-1S with Super Parts. 愛 おぼえていますか (DYRL): VE-1 Elint Seeker. I get weak in the knees for that radome. Macross Plus: VF-11B Thunderbolt. Love its variable geometry wings and its clear VF-1 design lineage. Macross 7: VF-22 Sturmvogel II. Max and Miria flying these birds together in the final episode did it for me. Macross Frontier: VF-171 Nightnare Plus. Very cool seeing the VF-17 from Macross 7 get a sleeker design update. Macross Delta: VF-31C Siegfried. Normally, I am not the biggest fan of planes with forward-swept wings, but the addition of the multi-purpose container kind of won me over to the design. Quote
Rogueload Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) My top five are : 1. VF-25S with Armor Parts 2. VF-1S with S&S parts Focker 3. VF-31A 4. VF-0S 5. YF-19 Edited October 11, 2019 by Rogueload Quote
arrow Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 the VF-1, VF-0 & VF-25. simply because they have the commonality of parts you can slap on-- GBP, super parts,....... Quote
seti88 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I had thought that the vf-1 was my fav valk, until i saw macross plus, and the rest they say, is history. So, no more favorite valks, all valks are unique in their own way and i love all of em! Quote
Mog Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) As I've said in similar threads like this, gotta go with the bastard love-child of the VF-1 and Q-Rau: The YF-21. Makes sense that they'd want to make a fighter that combines the human and Zentradi/Meltradi heritages. Edited October 11, 2019 by Mog Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 1. VF-1A Hikaru 2. VF-1S Strike Hikaru 3. VF-1J w/ or wo/ GBP 4. YF-19 5. VF-4 FB 2012 Quote
Bolt Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Very difficult to have one supreme favorite.Kawamori San has designed and engineered some real beauties over the decades.. As of now, it would be the VF-19 Advance. I love it with the modern fast packs. It's a very dynamic design with a rich history and legacy ..Plus(no pun intended ) It's ace jockey is my favorite pilot Close second is the VF-4. What a unique and well engineered design! Tied for third, the YF/VF 21 is completely awesome, as well as the VF-25.. But i must also mention the VF-27 and YF-29's, and the VF-171, and SV-51.. The VF-1 and 0 will always be nostalgic..but you see what i mean? So many awesome VF's to love! Quote
Lolicon Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Kawamori has given us so many beauties over the years, and I love them all. But it's Roy's (and later Hikaru's) yellow & black skull leader unit that started it all for me. Quote
twich Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 to emphasize, I think that there are so many greats that have been presented to us in Macross, it is hard to nail down one specific one.....though, I have always loved the YF/VF-19, I think that the VF-19Advance is the best representation of this. I really like the "bad guy valks", such as the VF-27 and the SV-262. Currently though, since they are the ones that I currently have toys of are the: 1) VF-31F Siegfried 2) VF-19Advance 3) SV-262 Draken III 4) YF-19 Bird of Prey (old yamato 1/60, the orange really does it for me...) 5) VF-2SS SAP Nexx custom I will reinforce the notion that the VF-1 holds a dear place in every Macross fans heart, specifically the VF-1J Hikaru, that more than VF-1S Roy is the most iconic VF-1 to me. I think that the VF-0 made the VF-1 more in line with size and whatnot with current valkyries and love the designs......unless I win the lottery or actually win at a casino, the $500 price tag for the VF-0D is just out of reach. had an original VF-0S that was cool and had a Sv-51Alpha that was good, also great designs. Looking forward to what we will be presented with in the new Macross Delta movie, the mystery valk is sexy looking... Twich Quote
seti88 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Kawamori seems to have a tendency of going back to old design elements into new valk releases, probably due to difficulty in justifying releasing old valks. In that spirit (since the tease looks vf-14'ish), lets see what elements make it, and what elements will kawamori tweak into the new macross movie valk... Quote
Bishop Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 - VF-31 is a great design - YF-25 prophecy has a nice color scheme - VF-1S Roy (looking forward the eventual DX Chogokin release) Quote
Saviant Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 To me it is the VF-31, but mainly the 31A. But following that it the VF-25 they both just look good in all modes. Quote
Bing Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) YF-19 great design, great story Edited October 11, 2019 by Bing Quote
HardlyNever Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 VF-1 for sure. Classic, can't be beat. I think Tomino san from Gundam said that he still thinks the original gundam and zeon designs are the best, and can never be topped (at least by gundams). I feel the same way about the VF-1 in Macross. YF-19 is a not-too-distant second; great battroid mode especially. The SDFM zentradi mech also hold a soft spot in my heart. There is just something so alien, 80s, and awesome about that one-eye design. It still looks alien and menacing today, in a good way. Quote
Bolt Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Interesting. This survey seems to mirror the NHK survey that happened a few months ago in Japan.. VF-1 and YF-19 love.. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Vf-1 by a good margin although i love the Vf-0, YF-19, VF-11B, and VF-25 probably above all the other macross mechs. the glaug is probably my favorite non valk. hoping bandai does a VF-11B at some point..i mean they did the VF-19....can't imagine the VF-11B and YF-21 would be far behind...but its been a while. oh well. If we are getting specific...as far as absolute favorite..it used to be the Vf-1S Roy fokker deco. Gotta say I like the Vf-1D or VF-1J hikaru deco as much or more now. Edited October 11, 2019 by Mechapilot77 Quote
theraiden Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 VF-1 and out of all of them i like the VF-1D the most and the VF-1S the second. Quote
bhchan Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) For me, it'll always be the GBP-1 in the Miss Macross episode. Edited October 11, 2019 by bhchan Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Hard to narrow that down to just 1 choice, so I'm gonna cheat; 1a. Bandai DX Chogokin VF-19 Advance 1b. Bandai DX Chogokin VF-31S 1c. Arcadia Premium 1/60 VF-1S Roy with Strike Parts 1d. Yamato 1/60 v2. VF-1S Max custom To add another wrinkle, if we're talking about only in Animation, then the VF-25F with Tornado Parts in Macross Frontier - The False Songstress. Tried to find a clip of the battle it was in, but my Google-Fu is apparently weak today. Both of Bandia's DX Chogokin efforts left me underwhelmed. -b. Quote
Podtastic Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 The TV Queadluun-Rau obviously. My top 5 Macross mecha would be (order not fixed): 1. Queadluun-Rau (TV) 2. Nousjadeul-Ger (DYRL) 3. Regult 4. Glaug 5. Gnerl Quote
