i'm not sure if thisbelongs here but this is actually about the anime and not the figure:

My SKull one transforming figure had come with a duo-barrel cannon you mount on the front of the right-side super-pack back-mount engine

things is i cant find any DYRL resource that can tell me tech specs of ths gun...

so can soemone pave this road for me?

((noteworthy: this wont be reflected in my Reboot series, however, it s emrely soemthing i wish to know))

www.mahq.net

www.new-un-spacy.com/m3.html

Two sites that have excellent Macross tech specs.

What you're looking for is the section on the VF-1S Super Strike

i'd heard it name before but thanks...

funny ilooked a mahq, guess i was was outt it, agian thanks

There you go.

so the Mauler duo-barrelis a beam gun eh? well that stresses the mecha's power plant somewhat but makes S-one even more fear-inducing imo

i know they mount it starbord in the seires, but due to my accursed left-handed prdie i mounted the thing port and think it looks better that way, i'll have to snap a photo soon

hmm...so those are the DYRL specs of S-one eh? hmm...my kinda plane...

For Macross mecha, you really can't go wrong with the Macross Mecha Manual, and I'm not just saying that because I helped write part of it. MAHQ is an okay resource for color line art, but accuracy-wise the tech specs leave something to be desired. (Probably because the site's author doesn't stick to the official publications for references)

Because of Macross Chronicle, there's also the prospect of fresh info about the Strike Valkyrie in the near future.

I doubt you'll find something that could stress that power system, each engine's turning out 650MWe... about six and a quarter times the output of the Westinghouse A4W fission reactors used on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

Yeah, those are the specs for the Skull 001 and the other 29 VF-1S Valkyries on the SDF-1 (not counting any among the 262 VF-1s on each ARMD or the ones salvaged from the CVS-101 Prometheus). In DYRL, Roy's VF-1S gets blown up, and both Max and Hikaru (Rick in RT) get ones of their own. Hikaru's is also equipped with strike packs.

form macross i really like the specs of the VF-1S but i've always loved the VF-1J's head best (the pentagonal diamond visor is why)

so dear ole roy'sgets destroyed i nDYRL eh? but is replaced by max and Hikaru getting two of their own eh?

hmm...all worth a watch to me,

so, technically speaking Seto, yo usay this gun wouldnt damper the operation ability of the duo-generator set up of the vf-1s...

now my question is: if you equipped two maulers, one stabbarod and one port, i know t'd cut missles capacity, but would equipping two maulers cut engine efficiency in any way?

---this is mere cusiousity because i have a firend who'd like to see it happen and i wanna know how god the fighter would be in such combinaton

You might be a bit disappointed by the treatment the VF-1J gets in DYRL then... it's a background mecha that only gets two or three scenes, and is always equipped with Protect Armor.

Yeah. In DYRL, Roy dies during the escape from Vrlitwhai 7018's (Breetai's) ship. He's fatally wounded when Quamzin (Khyron) crushes his cockpit, and his last act is to shoot Quamzin (and himself) through Quamzin's back, causing his VF-1S to explode. Because they were presumed dead, Max was made the new Skull Leader and got a VF-1S. When he went missing (hooked up with Milia after their dogfight) Hikaru was made Skull Leader and got a VF-1S.

It never adversely affected the performance of the VF-1 in any of its many appearances.

I can't imagine why you'd WANT to mount two Mauler RO-X2A beam cannons (Mauler is the name of the company that makes the weapon, not the weapon itself). I doubt it would have a measurable effect on performance, since it's typically only used as a primary weapon in fighter mode, when the VF's energy demands are at their lowest.

Well, the Macross Mecha Manual notes that there were examples of a dual mount of the two-barrell guns. Now, they're not common, but they did happen.

Actually, I don't think that's the case... I just asked the author (Mr. March) and he can't source it either. He said it was included as a "logical possibility". In the fanon section he included a fighter-mode VF-1S (Hikaru colors) in the "Dual Strike" configuration. You can see it [HERE] .

The Strike parts from Macross: Do You Remember Love? were also the inspiration for the Super Armed Pack used by the VF-2SS Valkyrie II's in the sequel, Macross II: Lovers Again.
