        <![CDATA[ I&#39;ve been thinking a lot about SC and why it&#39;s so unpopular.  A lot of negative comments pertain to the opinion that the Hover Tank was not a very cool
looking mecha. 


Alternately, many people remember the AJACS and I&#39;ve heard countless fans say they thought it was a very cool mecha.  No one ever puts it down like the HT.



I personally like the HT, but I do think the AJACS is way cooler.  The Hover Tank just doesnt scream &quot;cool&quot; like a robot helicopter does.

with I was trolling the web for VHT pics.

Here are the two that I have!

			<description><![CDATA[ Ever see mods people have done to the Matchbox VHT?
<br>
<br>
It&#39;s apparent, if one looks over that toy, that it was INTENDED to have been a 3-mode transformable (the &quot;catches&quot; for certain spots to secure on
3rd mode are still present on the released design), but  budget and/or design deadlines resulted in it being finalized without the 3rd mode.
<br>
<br>
Several people HAVE modified their toys to have all three modes, and it took minor changes (but ones that are on the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ As a kid, I recall thinking the Hovertank was pretty cool, and yea, big robot tanks, I approve! But the space drama aspect, and the more varied action you get
with an transforming aircraft of any kind kicks the Valkyrie and Alpha into the all-star category while the hovertank kinda languishes in the mind. And yea,
the AGACS is far more loved in hindsight it seems partially because of this. And yea, a transforming Helicopter is just plain awesome. I think the VHT had
it&#39;s own lacking... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Didn&#39;t Southern Cross get shafted with the crappy time slot?  I think that probably had more to do with it&#39;s failure than a perceived
&quot;uncoolness&quot; in mecha designs.  That and the whole not getting a complete series run thing. 
<br>
<br>
Personally, I would rather the AJACs not have featured in any prominent role.  It&#39;s an ugly mecha that does little to bring anything new to the genre.  At
least the Hovertank was different - a frikken tank that transformed.  The AJACs was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The mecha action. So on that note, would the mecha action have been better with Aurorans/AJACS?
<br>
<br>
I think so.
<br>
<br>
Ask the casual fan what they remember most and they say &quot;Veritech&#39;s&quot; or &quot;Cyclones&quot;, not &quot;Hover Tanks&quot;. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don&#39;t know if I&#39;d say &quot;unpopular&quot; as simply not as popular as Macross and possibly New Generation. If I had to guess, I don&#39;t know how
much of it was mecha design as much as story and pacing. When you were a kid, did you really care about personal stories and drama, or was it pretty much about
the mecha action? ]]></description>
