Quote:...Hm. I'll think about it.
Pity one of the HiME isn't a military brat, or her Child could possess a Mitsu F-2 ala Artemis and use that on camera
And as for Calling Upon The Power Of the Giant Robot, well, that's Gakutenou's schtick.
And no, the Viper isn't really that similar to the VF-22 at all, in transformation, role, or abilities. If anything, it's competing with the StarMirage... As I've gotten more in-depth with my designing, the overall plane is working out somewhere between the F-16 and the F-5 in size, which makes it about, what, only a little over half the size of the VF I'd say it resembles most, the SV-51... and it is half the weight of 'most every other late-Macross fighter.
Anyway, the VF-24 Viper's virtues are apeshit agility, low cost, and a plentitude of hardpoints - in that order.
Disturbingly, I find myself most of the way through a UN Spacy-style writeup for roleplaying purposes... and supressing a strange desire to acquire a physical model of a F-16 that I can mutilate for my unnatural purposes.
Ja, -n
