Mech Fighter - d6 VF-1 Valkyrie

[Esoomian]

Indeed but our population is smaller so anything that doesn't have instant mass appeal is usually initially overlooked as we don't have the consumer base to support significant investment.

Yeah, my region is much the same. Canada, overall, isn't too bad, but where I'm from is usually a bit behind the rest of the country.

Very cool having that land and transform right in front of a soldier would probably make him reconsider his career choice.

I had done stats for transformable Mecha years ago (I probably still have the notes). This brings back memories!

I had seen the original Macross, Southern Cross, & Mospeada series that Robotech was cobbled together with. I have to say I prefer the originals, but I'm a purist when it comes to foreign films.

[FightingCorsair]

This is so cool.

You might want to consider proton torpedoes and/or concussion missiles in the pods too.

[Ankhanu]

Yeah, missiles/torpedoes are a good idea... but perhaps instead of adding it to the pod, using them as an alternative pod. Laser or missiles or torpedoes, rather than all three.

I know all three works well with Robotech, but I think it gets a little further "out there" for Star Wars... though perhaps adding another module that reduces speed/manoeuverability while adding an outrigger of missiles or torpedoes below the lateral manoeuvering fins (wings) could work.

[FightingCorsair]

I seem to remember in some of the original Japanese animation there were multiple versions of the pods. Missiles, laser canons, sensors.

[schnarre]

[Ankhanu]

Guess I'll have to develop some non-prototype stats with differing PODs
Alternate universes can be fun In no way can we even think about pretending this could be anything approaching canon

You might want to consider that in battaloid mode the veritech is pretty much a starfighter scale droid without a brain or powered suit. So knocking up some droid stats might be wise.

The trade federation had transforming droid fighters, that might be worth looking into.

[Ankhanu]

I never really got the sense from watching Macross (or playing the RPG) that the Battleoid mode was automated or droid-like; it still relied upon pilot input to function. Even if that's not the case and there was a lot of automation, I don't think I'd want to incorporate that into a Star Wars universe analog... doesn't seem to jive in anything but some flavour/fluff text; in that perhaps some droid components help to interpret and implement the cockpit commands into the right movements, without changing any stat block elements.

Reminds me of the Z-95 VMF (Variable Mode Fighter) I created years ago for 1st Edition D6 Star Wars. At the time, there wasn't a pic of the fighter in the Star Wars Sourcebook and variable-geometry wings were mentioned, so we used the standard VF-1 to represent the Z-95.
