gerwalk25 Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 This questions been bugging me for a while now. I've noticed Takatoku, Bandai, Yamato, Hasegawa, ARII, Banpresto and Toynami have their GU-11's either having the UN Spacy logo upside down or vice versa. In canon which way is the logo supposed to be? Quote
Anubis Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 The logo should be upside down on the gunpod that way it is facing right side up in fighter mode. Quote
newca Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 at least the text on Toynami's YF-1R is differ from others. Quote
BlueMax Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 The VF-0's gunpod has the wordings being upside down instead, as seen in Episode 4 Quote
Godzilla Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 The logo should be upside down on the gunpod that way it is facing right side up in fighter mode. I agree. Quote
EXO Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Though I agree it should be right side up in Fighter, a lot of the official art has the text upside down during fighter and right side up in Battroid. Even the gunpod sequence in Macross Zero has the text upside down when the refueling plane had focker's gun mounted. But even the covers to Macross 0 contradict themselves. It varies from art to art. I still think fighter mode should have the perfect look. It was suppose to be a secret that they had battroid mode so it would be weird if someone saw the gunpod mounted with the text upside down.

mbs357 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 (edited) I always figured that the VF-1 was geared to look best in fighter mode, so then the text would be upside down on the gunpod, and up in fighter mode. Edit: Also, it's called a "Variable Fighter" not a "Variable Robot" Edited June 17, 2004 by mbs357 Quote
Opus Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 If you go strictly by the animation, it shouldn't be there at all. At least in the series. I'm not too shure about DYRL. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I vote for right-side up in fighter mode. I mean---what if *all* the markings were right-side up in battroid mode? Fighter mode would have the markings all over the place. The gunpod is the only thing where it can look sort of right in both modes, but everything else only looks right in fighter mode. Quote
Gubaba Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Well...the problem seems to be that in the original series, the gunpods generally don't say U.N. Spacy at all. In Mac0, all of them have the words right side up on the left side and upside down on the right side (in fighter mode). I figure this is now the official way to do it, so I've been using it for all my VF-1s, as well. Quote
RichterX Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I think Zero is the first anime that shows the UN SPACY thing on the fighters, I don't remember it drawn in the SDF Macross, DYRL, Plus or M7 Quote
RichterX Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I was watching the Macross Zero episode 3 and in the battle of Shin vs Nora Shin's gunpod has the UN SPACY upside down at own side and straight the other side, left side of the gunpod straight for Battloid right side of the gunpod straight for fighter Any one else notice it?
