[Macross] I feel like I wanted to see a bit more of the skirmishes between humans before the full-scale war with the Zentraedi.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:15

The mechs of the Anti-Alliance are really cool, right?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:15

Flapping its wings looks cool, doesn’t it…?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:17

It’s a super late topic, but does the development of the weapon called Valkyrie have no relation to the Macross’s fall or the technology gained from it?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:19

>>3The power, weapons, and armor all come from technology derived from Macross.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:20

>>4It starts from there, doesn’t it…? Thank you.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:23

>>5Also about the variable ability of humanoid forms.
The people who made Macross are freaking awesome! → When they attacked, we charged into their battleships with fighter jets! → We transformed into humanoid shapes the same size as the enemy and fought in close quarters inside the ship!
It was supposed to be that way (there are various theories).

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:21

I want to see it, but the VF-0 hasn’t been used in practice very much…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:23

Macross Zero itself takes place 7 months before the main story, and even then, VF fighters are still circulating in very small numbers… the anti-unification movement feels similar as well.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:24

Isn’t Ivanov too strong?
I just ended up fighting with Fokker multiple times and getting my gun pod destroyed.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:25

>>9Iwanov is probably in the top 5 of the Macross world.
After all, he’s Fokker’s master.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:26Yeahx4

>>9As it’s a Focker instructor, and SV itself has a higher level of completion than VF, there’s nearly no chance of winning.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:26

Thank you for killing me in a nice way… Bird person.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:28

I at least wanted them to let Shin defeat Nora…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:30

The only clear victory was with the surprise armored, I guess…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:33

This engineer is going to make a Draken, huh…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:46

>>15Where have you been hiding until now…?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:39Yeahx2

Even though humanity was on the brink of extinction, the lineage of the development team of the threads still survived during the Delta era, which is incredibly resilient.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:41

>>16Is it these guys from the Vampire series?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:42

It’s nice that from the perspective of the general fighter pilots of the integrated forces at that time, it was almost like death encampment…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:43Yeahx1

>>18But I like that Shin is clearly winning in normal combat maneuvers.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:43

From the beginning, the precious VF-0 is being shot down left and right by Nora…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:44

During the ZERO era, the basic components of the variable fighter were mostly completed, but since the thermonuclear turbine engine was incomplete for both the Unified Forces and the Anti-Unified Alliance, they were operating with conventional jet engines that were finely tuned.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:49

>>21In short, the thread image and Zero should have a fuel tank, but I wonder where it is attached.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:53

>>29Like a normal fighter jet, the main wings and fuselage.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:45

The VF-0, which has terrible fuel efficiency and requires in-flight refueling, is great, isn’t it?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:45Yeahx1

It’s like General Galaxy, or rather, SV Works is just too much of a legendary machine development group.
The problem is that the design philosophy is oriented towards human civil war.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:46

>>23It’s almost all of these guys for innovative technology…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:46

It’s before the installation of the thermonuclear engine, VF-0.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:46

The F-14 that Shin is piloting has also been upgraded with technology obtained from Macross, right?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:57

>>27It was probably an A-type base modified with OTM.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:49

The Ghost Booster has reverted to zero…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:52

Rather, why were you so easily defeated by the bird person, Ivanov?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:58

>>30Rather, it’s not an opponent we have a chance against with the aircraft from that era…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:56

At that time, only Fokker could handle variable fighter aircraft, which is why most of the planes were shot down.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:58

The instructor who was the most capable is in the anti-integration division…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)22:59

I feel like there are hardly any pilots who could compete against a bird person even with the VF-1.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:00

It doesn’t seem like the opponent is someone against whom regular aerial combat maneuvers would work, huh, bird person?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:02

>>37That’s an ultraweapon of the Protoculture piled up like Fold Quartz.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:03Yeahx2

The setting of the Zero aircraft being a transitional phase between a regular fighter jet and the VF-1 Valkyrie is quite cool.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:05

There is also the VF-X1, which has a reaction engine but it’s unclear if it can transform.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:06

The technology obtained from the SDF-1 includes gravity control and barrier technology.
The difference from 0 is that the Valkyrie has technology packed into the backpack area.
In the field of gravity control, Destruction Monsters are forced to operate on two legs through gravity control.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:09Yeahx1

>>41Fold and super-efficient thermonuclear reactor also OTM

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:08Yeahx1

>ゼントランと本格的な戦争になる前の人類同士の小競り合い的な話もうちょい見たかった気がするBut honestly, I can’t say that Zero was really that interesting…
It might just be that it’s been too long and I don’t remember the battle.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:10

I feel like there was a setting where Valkyrie has a thin film-like barrier, but I forgot where I saw it.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:12

>>44That’s energy conversion armor, isn’t it?
Flow EN to strengthen intermolecular bonds and enhance armor.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:12

I have a memory of reading a setting that explained the principle of how monsters can walk, and I found myself wondering what that really meant.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:13

Fokker says “energy conversion armor is as tough as a tank,” but that’s just about it.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:14

>>47Well, a fighter jet that can withstand direct hits from two or three missiles is definitely a huge threat.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:14

>>47It’s okay to crash into a building.
You can only deploy it when it’s transformed into Battroid mode as VF-1.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:14

Energy conversion armor can only be used in part for fighters even at level 25, so it’s probably very power-hungry.
It seems that it was originally also designed to consume surplus energy during battroid mode.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:14

I was incredibly excited when I connected to F.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:16

>>50I was amazed when I connected to F from the VF-X2’s hyperspace resonance crystal.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:15

Well, it’s an era where there’s no one who can properly handle a battroid with functioning energy conversion armor.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:18

>>52I didn’t become a pilot just to crawl on the ground…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:23

(A gravity-defying device flying off from the hull into space)

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:23Yeahx2

>>55It’s because I use things that I picked up.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:23

If it’s about getting into a scuffle, the Destroyed Squad should take care of it…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)23:25

I didn’t know that the Armored version existed in the TV series but broke before docking with Macross.
