Dynamite 7 Mecha Guide

Mechs of Dynamite 7

General
Most of the mechs in Dynamite 7, are far from being "new". The 3 new Valkyries are remodelled versions of existing designs. Now whilst this might sound like they are cutting corners with the production, I think it actually makes the continuity seem more realistic. I mean why should there be new Valkyrie's designed the whole time?

Thanks to Graham Parkes and Oliver Barder for some mecha information and comments.

VT-1C

Pilot: Basara
Details: A remodelled VT-1, with a harpoon gun. It is equipped with FAST packs and looks really cool! Basara is without his VF-19, and so uses this Valkyrie to travel into space and sing! Singing from a VF-1 seems to blend the old and new Macross rather nicely for me.

VF-5000G

Pilot: Laiza, and other Zora Police
Details: A remodelled VF-5000 - first found in the Macross Plus This is Animation Special (OVA version), which included a "Variable Fighters Report". It looks a little like a fatter VF-19, with a dorsal mounted FAST pack in Fighter mode. Until Dynamite 7 it was never seen in Battroid or Gerwalk in the anime or design work!
The VF-5000G is equiped with a weapon looks similar to the VF-1 type GU-11 55mmX3 gunpod not a speaker pod or harpoon weapon, and it appears to have some micro-missile launchers on the FAST pack, side of the legs, and on the forearms.

VC-3 Kai
VC-3

Pilot: Unknown
Details: This is a similarly remodelled version of the VA-3 (also from the same Macross Plus TIA book as the VF-5000), with harpoon and whaling type weapons.

Graham's Suit

Pilot: Graham
Details: Equipped with harpoon weapons. Seems to have no power source and so is unaffected by the Galactic Whale's disruption of normal mechanized equipment.

VF-19P 'Zolan'
VF-19 Zolan

Pilot: Basara
Details: To come.

VF-19 Timeline:
The varying designs of the VF-19 across the series of Macross has lead to some questions about the timeline of its development. Graham Parkes has written this interesting article of ideas on the subject.
