Correction the VF-1 gunpod can survive re-entry as Hikaru ejected his due to damage from battle. 37:09 the baby pod was made because they couldn't refit Millia's VF-1J to a 2 seater configuration in the time allotted for the mission. Giving her a D type would be difficult enough due to current conditions of infrastructure.
What a remarkably info-packed video! Excellent work!! While I agree the the GBP armor is new in its introduction in "SDF Macross", I think it would have been worth mentioning the reactive armor developed for the VF-0. It basically feels like a retcon but it's too similar to ignore. Max's VF-1J is first seen in episode 24 "Goodbye Girl" before he married Milia. Excellent that you mentioned the VF-1D appearance in episode 25 "Virgin Road".
Rare to find a video that gets ALL the Valkyrie details exactly correct. You nailed it. Great work and great presentation. If you have not already seen it, seek out a video of a show-accurate radio control flying Valkyrie replica. The mecha was designed to LOOK like a real plane and shockingly, the design actually IS an extremely capable in the air, at least as a model. It is a surreal experience to see this thing actually flies just as it should. Miyatake and Kawamori were even bigger geniuses than anyone knew. What an accomplishment.
You should do more VF's from later series like M7, Macross Plus, Macross Frontier and Macross Delta as well as VF-X games and Macross M3 games and Maxross 30 game VF's my personal favourite VF's being the VF-29 DURANDAL, VF-30 Chronos, VF-31, VF-171 Nightmare's
Since this part focuses on the VF-1 models only in the original TV series, Part 2 of this series will be dealing with the VF-1 models that were in the movie Do You Remember Love which is where the Strike version was first seen. :)

I like how the game depicts vectored thrust when the valkyrie climbs & banks.

Thanks Man, Been waiting years for a detail spec design for Macross Valkyries.
Eventually all new Valkyries would receive the "Super" modification and the SDF-1 would have 270
This is one of my all time favorite anime series!

"Um thermonuclear reactor?"
"It's a great motivation not to get your plane shot up heh."
Probably a fusion reactor
Yeah it's a twin fusion reactor in the legs.
This thing has 2 arrestor hooks, i say again , 2 damn arrestor hooks! idk i think it's cool/unique
I wish I could play this game so bad
Loved it!, but someone won me saying it
thank you for all this research
What was the game you were playing for the video?
Macross 30 on the PS3
What about the Super Strike pack?
Since this part focuses on the VF-1 models only in the original TV series, Part 2 of this series will be dealing with the VF-1 models that were in the movie Do You Remember Love which is where the Strike version was first seen. :)
How did I miss this game, what system is this on? Robotech Marcross is my all time favorite since I was a kid
This is from Macross 30 voices across the Galaxy.
You left out the VF-1D-T Trainer
Hello, the VF-1D Trainer is shown and talked about starting at 28:43.
It's mentioned as early as 1:31.
South ATARIA Island.
What game is that?
You're the only person I've ever heard pronounce 'Gerwalk' with a soft G.
Always keep forgetting that Valks were powered by nukes. W/ Gundams, sheer size makes sense, but here that's some serious downsizing.
