Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I'd assume so, yeah... official materials have always indicated that the coaxial laser (or particle beam) guns on later model Valkyries were meant only for defensive use to cover the fighter's blind spot (above and behind). Which official material confirms the inability of the VF-5000 head gun to f...

What about this depiction: https://i.imgur.com/zySDJXh.mp4

I'm assuming the developers took some creative liberties?

Can the head lasers aim forward in the fighter modes of the VF-5000/11/19/22/25/31.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I

カリヴァ is "Caliver", the term used for an arquebus with a standardized bore in the 16th century.+ パチェット is "Patchett"... but the only thing I can think of that they might be referencing there is L2A1 submachine gun used by the British during the second world war. Thanks for the in...

It's a robot created by an alien civilization. Nothing supernatural about it.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I

What are those two short rods on the backpack of the Demi Garrison? They look like they could be beam sabers. According to Twitter, their model name is クリバーリ "Kuribaari". No official romanization has been provided yet, it may be "Crivari" or "Coulibaly". Clibarri, accor...

The Weltall-2 reminds me of God Gundam due to the way they go into hyper mode.

Re: Unusual Super Robot?

I don't consider the golems, aura battlers, and guymelefs as "super robots". They are common tech in their respective worlds just like the mobile suits and variable fighters of Gundam and Macross, respectively. the damage it takes is registered as pain to the pilot. This idea was later reu...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I believe the only other model besides the VF-1 Valkyrie to have individual FAST Pack model numbers cited in official Macross setting materials is the VF-11. Variable Fighter Master File  offers unofficial designations for certain packs on other models of VF. Can you post the designations?

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I've never seen the VF-19 (A-D) equipped with the NP-BAP-15c booster units in GERWALK and battroid modes. Are they mounted on the shoulders or back?

Do the super/FAST packs of the VF-11, VF-17, VF-25, VF-27, VF-31, Sv-262 have designations? What about the armored packs of the VF-25 and VF-31?
