Macross Frontier - Speculation Thread [Spoilers]

[ReddyRedWolf]

They do have hair thus pointy ears are not seen.

What are the chances the mystery of the disappearance of Megaroad-1 or the fate of Shin Kudo and Sara Nome would be revealed in Macross Frontier?

[DonQuigleone]

Eh his status as Zentradi is a bit mysterious. Either way the guy's awesome, I mean his teeth TINGED, that's gotta be worth GAR points... right?

The only problem with keeping them as xenomorph like things is that I don't know where the plot would go, one of the great things about previous Macross series is you got a realistic depiction from both sides with neither being particularly demonised (Like Gundam), It would be a shame to lose that part of the story. Plus I always thought it was great the way The Power Of Love conquered the original Zentraedi.

Spoiler for speculation with Macross Zero spoilers:

I speculate that the Vajra are part of the automated booby trap left behind by the Protoculture and were activated along with the Birdman relic (you'll probably need more than one of those to exterminate what was supposedly a civilization with spacefaring technology). Remember, humanity technically failed the test in Macross Zero, partly due to taking it prematurely (but the Birdman/Sara Nome later abstained from making a decision and refrained from destroying mankind). In light of this confusing stay of execution, it may be trying to locate another Nome descendant for an updated opinion on humanity to make a final decision on its fate. Sheryl almost certainly is one, and perhaps Ranka also, given her unknown heritage.

That would also also fit the codename "Vajra", as the wrathful thunderbolt of the gods.

It'll be somewhat anticlimatic to run into a living protoculture civilization though. All indications are that they have been extinct for a long while.

Well, he is a homage to Max Jenius. He doesn't seem to be nearly as good as Max was, but he IS better than Alto, wears glasses and pilots a blue VF.

Spoiler for MF manga:

And the manga hints of a dynamic between KK, pilot of a RED Queadluun-Rau and him. Quite different though, since KK has a defect that isn't all that appealing to the natural playboy in Mikhail.

[DonQuigleone]

I like glyph's theory there, though I think the vajras are seeking out Ranka, I mean the previous attack was in her vicinity as well, though Sheryl's name couldn't be a coincidence, though it could be something to throw us off.

Also Mikhail< Max though that might change as Max took a while to become the awesome juggernaut he was, though he had that cool style of his throughout, which Mikhail doesn't completely hit yet. I am looking forward to future playboy antics though. Also I'm sure we'll get more awesome characters later. Max only came in around episode 10 of Macross

Meh Mikhail will never measure up to Nikki Basara the man that lauched a thousand and one Queadluun-Rau.

Now all he needs to do is guess someone's bust size.

[DonQuigleone]

Well yeah, but he only really earns those points if he guesses it while completely dominating her in a game AT THE SAME TIME.

I think the defect he's talking about can be spotted if you watch the op closely, also the wikipedia has something to say about it, I can't tell you how true it is.

She's...

Spoiler for manga:

loli when miclonized.

Then again, KK is her true form is perfectly up his alley. I suppose he has the choice of playing Basara or enlarging himself ala DYRL.

[DonQuigleone]

Spoiler for More on KK:

It's not THAT bad if you look at the op, she seems to be around Ranka's size, unfortunately we haven't seen whether she has breasts or not in the op, so we can't really know what she looks like micloned

Well...

Spoiler for manga:

.... >_>

[ReddyRedWolf]

My miclonization techniques has really improved in the past 5 decades.

From giant hottie to loli.

[Lanis]

Spoiler:

does she chose to be lolified or is it a glitch in the system? also, since when did zentraedi have elf ears? they were all normal in the original macross.

[Lanis]

also, got a pic of her in normal mode?

Spoiler:

It's a glitch in her genes. Basically there's a genetic factor inside her that causes miclonization to make her look younger than she is, while returning back to her meltrandi form would restore her real look.

Well, Guld Bowman had elf-ears in Macross+, and he was a half-breed.

There's that split-second OP shot. Pretty good enough of a look.

And the manga's...

Spoiler:

[Lanis]

they have elf ears from dyrl in advance, i think the authors thougth they look cool and letf it

[Westlo]

Okay Klein Klan should be awesome, I never put together that in the OP she was in it twice, just thought they had they had the same color hair. Speaking of the manga how far ahead is it from the anime atm? 1 more episode roughly or maybe 2? It's a monthly release right so it should be overtaken by the anime rather quickly.
