I love how so many parts of it work in both jet and robot mode. The articulated feet become vector nozzles, the AA turret "head" becomes a ground attack turret, it all makes sense.
5:50 I've loved Macross since I was a kid, watched it more times than I could count and I never noticed that the veritech gun pod fucking BRRRRRRTTTSSSSS
I always wanted to follow the story of Macross from before they explored the galaxy, the first time I followed from Frontier to Delta, if there is time I want to follow the previous generation
You really should start from the very beginning. it never disappoints. it holds up and may exceed even today's mech stories, and that includes macross' own current iterations.
This clip is better than most from this series!. This is the un-edited clip of Roy and Rick's encounter with the Zentraedi. What's important is at least 2 scenes which were deemed "graphic" are of one of the RDF Pilots getting killed by a Zentraedi Battle Pod and the other of the Zentraedi Soldier getting shot to death by Roy. Both of those scenes do NOT appear in the US version of the Show. Rumour had it that a lot of graphic content was removed - as it is, the Japanese version of each episode is far better - naturally.
IT DOES APPEAR IN THE US VERSION. Unless you're thinking of the prior Robotech version rather than the Uncut ADV dub, in which case it was put back in in the remastered version.
Well, they also removed the "dee-AAAHHHHHHH!!!" at 5:49 so I'll have to disagree with you. Also the background music was done better in Robotech. The Japanese version is choppy and at times too extreme for a particular scene.
robotech was raw a cartoon in the 80s on TV cartoon that showed people dying, way better than GI Joe, in combat someone has to be destroyed which never happen in GI joe.
Man how good would an Ace Combat style game of Macross be! Mission Maps the encompass the outer atmosphere. able to transform to the mecha form for on ground engagements. It stumps me why no ones done this yet.
Original combat sounds much better than the "remastered" sounds. Remastered should only be to sharpen the animation, keep the sound effects they were excellent
I grew up with robotech robotech and macross I love them both gundam came later on in my life so I'm not trying to be bias but I prefer macross and robotech over gundam but hey gundam is really good too
Macross because it makes my imagenation run wild with the sexy Valkuries. I mean the mechs in Gundam are cool and all but you can't beat a transforming F-14 that you can fly in. The later version like in Macross Frontier just make the jets even more good looking.
