Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

What are the differences between these gunpods used by the VF-22: Howard/General GV-17L and Howard BP-14D?

Which are the default wing root guns for the YF-19 (Mauler REB-20G or Mauler REB-23) and VF-25 / VF-27 (Mauler ROV-25 or Remmington ES-25A??

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Looking at the VF-22 Master File, it seems that when the VF-22 equips a reaction missile, it also removes the nearby compartment that houses the gunpod and micro-missiles? Speaking of that compartment, can it equip both a gunpod and micro-missiles at the same time? What kind of weapons are the LPP-1...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Are those guns on the forearms of the Armored VF-25, Tornado VF-25, and YF-29? https://i2.wp.com/anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/V2-Armored-VF-25-101.jpg https://i1.wp.com/anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Bandai-DX-V1-Tornado-VF-25F-10.jpg https://i1.wp.com/anymoon.com/blog/wp...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Is there art or animation of the VF-171 either ejecting its gunpod from its leg compartment or storing it away?

Supposedly the gunpod is stored inside one of the legs but I've seen the 1/60 toy mount the gunpod externally underneath the main body.

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I thought Earth's policy, ever since the debacle with the YF-19 and YF-21, was to keep the more advanced VFs and tech for itself. I assumed that the YF-24 plans provided to the colony worlds and fleets were actually not complete or had restrictions so as to not give them an edge over Earth.

Aside from the VF-171, does Earth use other VFs of the same performance and/or combat capability as the Messiah, Lucifer, Durandal, Chronos, Kairos, and Siegfried?

Is it true that Macross II is part of the main timeline?

EDIT: Already got my answer: Not in the same continuity as Plus, 7, Frontier, and Delta.

So the AIF-9B has exact same weapons as the X-9?

Do the booster pods of the X-9, 7S, and 9V have missile launcher ports or does the front part of each pod open up on a hinge?
