What if... Earth had left Zor's SDF buried on Macross Island?

feeds@yuku.com (rtsurfer) — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:10:08 GMT

What would have happened if Zor's crashed SDF(-1) had been left unsalvaged, would the Zentraedi have retrieved it without incident to Earth and everything that followed have been avoided... would our insignificant, primitive world have been left alone???

SDF Launch Date: Is it in the stars?

feeds@yuku.com (CavScout) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:04:12 GMT

The other thread about the launch dates got me thinking, I wanted to see what a few months difference would really make in the position of planets regarding when the SDF1 launched. My assumption was the outer planets have such long orbits that, in context with the story, the date shifting would have little real impact. NASA's JPL has a neat tool that allows you to...

New Mecha Speculation

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 06:56:58 GMT

Due to a combination of sleep deprivation and watching a combination of several animes in quick succession, I had a few ideas I wanted to throw passed you guys.

First off, I was watching Macross Frontier and I got to thinking that the Ex-Gear flight suits are in many ways the same sort of device as a cyclone except that they lack their own dedicated vehicle mode. The principle is the same, a survival mecha suit to aid in combat operations and escaping a downed fighter. From this I...

Color Blindness in the RT Universe

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:02:01 GMT

I've been wondering and I wanted an opinion from you guys.

Are the Invid Color blind? All views from their equipment/eyes view have been overcast in red with the only other color differentiation being teh denote protoculture power supplies. Would you agree or disagree that Invid have no concept of camouflage in the sense of hiding in plain site via coloring?

21st Mars Division a misnomer?

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 08:11:11 GMT

Somethings been bugging me this morning. Official RT.com stuff and a few other sources keep referring to the fleet wiped out in "The Invid Invasion" collectively as the 21st Mars Division. Except I don't think that's right. Scott's with the 21st Squadron certainly, but we see other carriers listed with other numbers, denoting them as belonging to a different squad/division that Scott. Describing that whole huge force as a division seems entirely wrong to me.

Hypothetical: Use of the "FAST Pack" idea to supply Veritech limbs?

feeds@yuku.com (ShadowLogan) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:17:11 GMT

In the Macross Saga the VF-1 Veritech receives the augmentation pack upgrade resulting in the Armored Veritech configuration over half way through the saga. Now the Macross OSM continued developing the FAST packs in a similar manner to the original (at least as far as I...

'Tech Help

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 23:28:32 GMT

Hi there, new here, How's it goin'?

I've recently been inspired to dust off my Robotech collection and have a go at some fan fiction perhaps. In the process of reviewing the show, movie, and other segways (Sentinels video and novels etc), I had a few questions I am hoping you folks can help me with.

Now, I am flexible when it comes to "canon". I can accept the McKinley novelizations as easily as the Academy Comics and so on. TSC is good too for my...

Discussion of the GMP Battloid/Robot and other wonky art in the SC episodes...

feeds@yuku.com (Basara 549) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:19:05 GMT

Okay, after much experimenting, I found a way to copy the relevant threads out of the other one.

Let's discuss.

How should we view the "Orgus" cameo mecha to appear in 3 different episodes of Robotech?

feeds@yuku.com (ShadowLogan) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 05:16:11 GMT

1. Animation "Error". More like an Animation Cameo than an error. The issue I have here is that it is animated differently 2/3 of the time (not sure about the 3rd). RobotechResearch lists 2 different pics that include the mecha, the uRRG states its in 3 episodes. Given the frequency, I'm not really inclined to this idea.

2. Treat it as a non-transformable Battloid (/Destroid) design. Only issue I have here is that other RT periods have 3 operational veritechs...

Zor Prime's Flashbacks with ASC issue items

feeds@yuku.com (ShadowLogan) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:05:58 GMT

This sort of ties in with an earlier suggestion that Supreme Commander Leonard was replaced by the Robotech Masters BEFORE the start of the 2RW*. Now most people I think when viewing Zor Prime's flashbacks and the viewing of ASC issue items (armor, clothing, etc) assume one of two basic positions:

[Draft] ASC Organizational Chart

feeds@yuku.com (CavScout) — Sun, 18 May 2008 16:20:11 GMT

Under the current ASC command structure the day-to-day management of the ASC is distinct from the command of military operations. The services are administered through the Joint Forces Command (JFC), with the head of each service (the Chief of Land Forces, Chief of Aerospace forces and Chief of Civil Defense) and...

[Draft] ASC History

feeds@yuku.com (CavScout) — Thu, 15 May 2008 19:03:31 GMT

"For dash and gallantry the bloodthirsty Scots, Australians and Canadians led the way, with the impetuous Irish close behind. The Australian to my mind were the most aggressive, and managed to keep their form in spite of their questionable discipline. Out of the line they were undoubtedly difficult to handle, but once in it they loved a fight. They were a curious mixture of toughness and sentimentality..." - Lieutenant-General Adrian Carton de Wiart...

TMS Organization and Force Structure

feeds@yuku.com (CavScout) — Mon, 12 May 2008 07:43:47 GMT

For the purposes of this thread, the UEF is one unified military force composed of 4 service branches: Army of the Southern Cross, Air/Space Force, Global Military Police and (wet) Navy. The only difference between a UEF and UEEF trooper is that one is assigned to a 'rear area' (Earth) while another is assigned to a 'forward area'. Just as in the real US Military, Expeditionary Forces are multi-service Combatant Commands, not fully realised Service...

Wing Design on the Specter/Sylphid: AE or un-noticed feature until now?

feeds@yuku.com (ShadowLogan) — Sun, 11 May 2008 06:09:59 GMT

While looking at the picture archive at www.RobotechResearch.com concerning the Specter/Sylphid I noticed something differrent between several shots concerning the outboard wings.

Robosaurus type vehicles in Robotech as a precursor to the RDF Battloids?

feeds@yuku.com (ShadowLogan) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:48:18 GMT

Do you think that the RDF used a military model of a mass produced version(s) of a Robosaurus-type vehicle(s) as a stopgap measure to engage the giant Aliens in close quarters combat until the Battloids (Destroid & Veritechs) could enter service? If not, what do you think filled the particular roles only the Battloids could...
