Nevermind that the M4A1 and M468 have identical ergonomics and don't shoot to the same ranges, as do the SCAR-L and SCAR-H.  |
Well, that's what happens when you mix magic with gadgets - total mayhem. I won't even go into why I think the beam-spam style attacks make little sense, versus concentrating power on a shield to collapse it...

He even made Voltaire, a summoned dragon, into a summoned mecha. Oh and for his planned work Rebuilt of StikerS, he had Vita and Graf Eisen henshin into Goldion Hammer for Subaru to use.
But yeah, Haruhi-ism is crazy. Is Jason still sore on how the Haruhiists dissed Gurren Lagann?
Anyway... something interesting I note: the recon VF-171s all use hugeass AWACS radomes and long downward pointing ESM "blades". Shades of Yukikaze, them blades.  Anyway I find it curious that they're using such bigass radar dishes on recon units... then again in space you probably need hi-def radar images instead of just visual images that present-day recon birds collect. |
And you're talking to someone whose Haruhiist tendencies make him a staunch Amalthian tendencies... as a certain blog's entries make clear (you've referenced Jason's blog here, and if you search some heretical posts there, you'll see what I mean). You do NOT want to bring that up.
The RVF-171's probably have those bigass radars to show that they're a) out of date compared to the smaller ones on the RVF-25, and b) to show they're collecting all sorts of data... and to make them a tribute to the Cats Eye units of the original Macross which were similarly prone to destruction (remembering a certain asteroid field) on some missions.
