"Macross 7's VF fighters!"

Finished watching Macross 7. It's a pretty average series, like those in the 90's, where it's always repetitive, every week bad guys come and good guys chase away bads guy kind of story. What's interesting are the characters and basically their life. It's a weird in a silly way, but there's something you'd miss after finishing the series.

Anyway, let me show you some of the Valkyrie's which appear in Macross 7

vf-19custom-fighter_small
This is the VF-19 Fire Valkyrie, owned by the hero, Nekki Basara, the lead singer of a rock band who flies out to battles, to SING, believing that the bad guys will be moved by his singing. Yeah, it's silly, but after so many episodes, I kind of believe in his songs myself!

vf-17d-diamondforce-fighter_small
VF-11D Nightmare. Diamond Force. I like these the least. They are supposed to be the elite team, but the design not so nice..

vf-19f-fighter_small
VF-19 Emerald Force. The successor to the VF-11D. Very similar to Basara's.

vf-22s-max-fighter_small
And this, the VF-22!! Appearing near the end in the one of the most explosive episode, Max Jenius (yes, the same Max the ace pilot from the original Macross, but now he's a Captain) flies out in the ultra-cool fighter, with guns blazing and missiles flying everywhere! Woo-hoo~~

Makes me want to go out and buy the model :P
