Here is the preview of the YF-4... over all imo a really awesome design. Tommy and ND have really out-done them selves in making a superb design even better. Again proof that Robotech is the best Mecha anime in the world imo.

it's about what i expected. VF-1 like transformation over all, basically still metal origami instead of the macross OSM VF-4's sliding puzzle style.

now i'm glad i ordered a set.

and is that a Alpha fighter style head?

Not a bad design considering the source material. It would be nice to get a lineart drawing of it.

It really looks to combine elements of the Alpha and VF-1 the ways those nacelle pods transform into limbs, but having them outrider like that probably adds complexity since they have to move inward (now we can probably see why the YF-4 didn't make it into full production) . The Folding torso is VF-1, but I don't get why they needed to angle the cockpit in Battloid mode like that (I know some of the later Macross VFs do that, but it looks ugly IMHO giving the mecha a slight beer-belly/pregnant look as opposed to the various athletic builds we see in various Veritechs).

As for the head (@glittlerboy2098). It looks to be styled after the VF-1R (maybe w/o the side lasers, the angle may simply be blocking them) given the prevalent Macross themes in the design. Though it could be styled after the late model -6Z.

It does appear to have some similarities to TY's old gamma fighter design that was based on the YF-4/Conbat from a decade ago in transformation IMHO (anyone else think that?).

i had expected the thruster assembly at the back of the nacelle/armthing to swivil sideways an d become "football player" like shoulders.

i don't think it's angled normally. it looks to me like the cockpit part is pure up/down like in the VF-1.. but the 'chest' part is mounted such that it can move seperately from the cockpit part.. basically a "waist" that lets it twist it's torso, bend over, etc.

actually thinking it looks kind of like the -6H head.. though there are some -6Z similarities too. i think it's the fact the head is very angular and lacks obvious head lasers. it certainly isn't a VF-1 style head.

It does appear to have some similarities to TY's old gamma fighter design that was based on the YF-4/Conbat from a decade ago in transformation IMHO (anyone else think that?).

hmm..

i can see some gross similarities, but the transformation of the gamma is rather different.. more Alpha like. could definately see the Gamma as a design successor though. (maybe what the UEEF will be driving in movie 3 of the shadow chronicles.. a non-PC fighter designed using a mix of new UEEF and old UEDF tech?)

No, the closest Alpha family member is the Z, as it has that bill/beak at this angle, the H/I do not have that. Add in the fin/cannon on top, and it is closer to the Z than the H in the Alpha family.

The "puffy cheeks" is a feature that one can see in both the Alpha family, and the -1R design. Given the angle though, it is possible for the -1R type cannons to be obscured.

It is hard to tell if the top fin on the head is a cannon (like on the -1A/R) or just a fin like on some of the Alphas (I/Z) since we only have the one angle.

I bring up the -1R because they might have used the -1R to either recoup/spin-off investment in technology OR to mature technology by putting it into an existing platform. The Lineart at Rt.com (and in the Macross Saga SB) does appear to show a "stacked" look like the -4, and on the -6, though no where near as pronounced as on the -4/6 so the head might actually be a mix of -1/6 model features.

glitterboy2098 wrote:i can see some gross similarities, but the transformation of the gamma is rather different.. more Alpha like. could definately see the Gamma as a design successor though.

Which is what I was getting at. They have similar enough layouts and approaches it would make sense they (YF-4/Gamma) could be directly related. What differences there are may be from the development of technology, change in philosophy, and solutions to what ever issues plagued the YF-4 reliability (comics) that result from an update to a 30year old design.

It is hard to tell because we have only one example of the Battloid mode. It could just be an illusion due to angle and such, but until we get more poses to work off of, I would have to say it is angled (just like on the VF-25 in Macross).

glitterboy2098 wrote:i had expected the thruster assembly at the back of the nacelle/armthing to swivil sideways an d become "football player" like shoulders.

I had expected the nacelles to be the legs entirely, with the arms stowed inline with the cockpit nose as on the VF-1 on the undercarriage. The nacelles would fold in like the arms fold out on the VF-1, the arms would also fold out as on the VF-1. Folding torso like the VF-1 also.

If I'm following this correctly the VF-X-4 transforms from Fighter Mode to Guardian to Battloid mode like so:
1. From the Nacelle outward, the assembly splits S-Foil like with both sections folding inward:
-the top section segments into propulsion (along with the wing/tail) and limb modules locking into place. Limb borrows from the AGAC or VHT-2 in folding out (VHT testbed is supposed to enter test in late 2011 by the 2E RPG) given apparent placement of the forearm shield/guns.
-the lower section pulls forward locking into the side of the nose ahead of the wing glove adopting a VF-1 placement and design
2. The mecha is now in Guardian mode, Battloid mode follows forward as on the VF-1 from this point.

Actually based on teh art Wayne showed me back in May...the head is actually a sort of VF-1 derivitive.

I am not overly fond of it but then again, i saw art instead of the model so I was teased with what looked really good versus this 3d render :lol:

This one almost looks like a VF-1/Alpha hybrid like head.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

Good point, are some of the unique aspects of the RT (Yf-4, experimental version of Zent. PAs, the experimental Phalanx) going to get in game stats? I would really like to see them.

Even if they don't include stats for the RPG, they likely can be extrapolated from the initial conversion of the RPG to the Tactics game.

I was hoping they could get it in the UEDF Marines book somehow since it's under development now. That way we could see it soon. But maybe it'll come later in some kind of Malcontent themed book. So maybe we will have to extrapolate after all.

In the latest update Kevin said that after the two Marine books the next Robotech will be The Zentraedi Protectorate Sourcebook. Since that sounds like a Macross era book it seems like a good fit for the desired mecha stats.

If they get the three books out by the end of 2014 it will be a banner year.

I've been a (sometimes vocally critical) fan since the mid 90's.

Believe me, returning after a decade away to find that nothing had changed wasn't much of a surprise.

Perhaps I should've said "characteristically ambitious".

Also, sarcasm tags. Those ellipsis just aren't cuttin' it...

Damnit, there they are again!

I have been playing PB games since 1987, original Robotech. Been playing Rifts since it was first released. I can not remember a time when there ambition did not overreach there ability to get books out.

I think anytime we discuss PB release schedule sarcasm can just be implied. :roll:

Your kidding right!? I don't get how a book company can't have new product every month or every other month at the very least. Please forgive my ignorance, but that seems hard to believe. Every month I get an email from black library about new books.

So RPG stats for the YF-4 aren't coming out in the next sourcebook?

Not all companies are made equal.

Plus, word 'on the street' is that Kevin personally oversees a LOT of the material, has to edit, rewrite, rewrite some more, or flat out make from whole cloth a great many of their publications. I mean, hell, I look at my remaining collection and practically every book has him as the author on the spine, with a few where he shares the spot with another.

Some see this as a feature of PB's style, others see it as a sticking point. It is what it is, and after 3 decades or so, I doubt that pattern will change anytime soon.

I was a huge fan in the mid 90's to mid 00's and books taking months or years beyond their initial release date target was par for the course.

There was very little surprise when I returned to the forums earlier this year to find out that the more things change (farewell, long lost forum account), the more they stay the same.

Hell, there are a few things that were released in the last couple years that were being talked about back in the 90's. At this point I bet they have a backlog of material that's "due out soon!" they can flat out refuse all future material and still be set for decades.

I hope its close enough to scale with the bandai vf-4 from flashback 2012. The two vf-0 I have look like they'll make a good fit as dragon fighters. For the vf-2ss I'm thinking non transformable space fighters. The gaming possibilities make me feel giddy with excitement. Heck because of RRT I haven't bought or paid much attention to GW (40k). I dropped it like a bad habit. I not saying I'm quitting 40k just taking a nice break from it for now. Thanks PB.

OK, images galor for YF-4 Prototype Veritech. From both OSM and Robotech sources.

Although from OSM, we only have Fighter & Gerwalk (aka Guardian) modes for VFX-4 (or YF-4 in RT):

I really like the look of the unit in B mode. I hope the mini looks just as great. Thanks for the pics.
