From Macross Compendium:
The Macross Quarter, a Variable Space Carrier, which is the operational base of the S.M.S. in the Macross Frontier fleet. It is one-quarter the size of the current Macross class warship and approximately the size of regular carriers. Despite being equivalent to a 400m-class vessel, it has a transformation system allowing it to transform from a warship (cruiser mode) to storm-attacker mode (battle mode) for close-combat. The port side of the ship functions as an aircraft carrier. It boasts the of mobility and combat performance of a fighter even though it is the size of mid-scale warship. Colonel Jeffrey Wilder is the ship's captain.
Macross Quarter is easily one of the most impressive display piece in my entire Macross collection, not to mention the biggest.
It has high metal content, making it considerably heavier than the rest of the DX Chogokin line.
It also comes with these mini figures:
The one and only representation of Vajra as a toy :P
Gerwalk
Gerwalk?!! Yeah, it's pretty silly for a capital ship to have Gerwalk mode, but it does appear in the series!
And finally, the attack mode! Transformation is very easy... theoretically! The high metal content and super tight joints make it much harder~~ though there's not much of a risk of breaking anything...
He can also store the Carrier (ARMD-L) on the back with the use of an external connector...
... so that he can use both hands to fire the Macross Cannon!
Macross ships never looked so stylish............. :P
And here's the box:
Ordered this from Hobby Link Japan during their clearance sales and it costs only RM498 including shipping, compared to the retail price of RM880 in Malaysia! Good deal~~
