Field Commander of the Veritech Fighter Squadrons

Robotech was one of my all time favourites cartoons when I was a kid. The story line was very unique for me compared to other cartoons at the time. Unlike Transformers that are sentient beings, these mecha you can fly and transform. What was even more cool for me is that they could even transform in three modes (Fighter, Guardian,Battloid). It was like you can be a Transformer yourself.

Roy Fokker - Ace Fighter Pilot

The leader of the veritech fighter squadrons attached to the SDF-1, Roy Fokker was the premier fighter pilot in the Robotech Defense Force. Fokker first gained fame by shooting down 108 enemy planes during the Global War and subsequent conflicts. Fokker was called back to duty by Admiral Donald Hayes and became the top test pilot for Project Valkyrie, which led to the creation of the transformable veritech fighter. As commander of the renowned Skull Squadron, Roy maintained his reputation among his fellow pilots, as his squadron earned distinction in battle after battle with the Zentraedi forces.

From an early age, Roy had a strong love of flying. His father Dan Fokker was a close friend and squadron mate of Mitchell Hunter during the final years of the Vietnam War. Dan was later killed in a classified mission for the Navy, and Mitchell Hunter assumed guardianship of Roy. From then on, Roy grew up with Hunter and his young son Rick and flew for their Flying Circus aerobatic team. The two boys grew very close. That relationship is severely tested when Roy leaves the Flying Circus to fight in the Global War, and later joins the Veritech development project on Macross Island.

Roy inherited many of his father's daredevil aspects, including a cavalier attitude towards women. A playboy for much of his early flying career, his life is changed when he meets a young air control officer named Claudia Grant.

Heroic commander of the famed "Skull Squadron" assigned the monumental task of defending SDF-1. He is the classic definition of a hero. He is also able to transcend his heroic mold to be human and compassionate. He likes to tease his friends especially Rick Hunter, and create a feeling of general camaraderie. His raw courage and skill as a fighter pilot is matched only by Maximillian Sterling.

(TT) Transformers Generations Leader Class Jetfire Figure 30th Anniversary

Transformers Generations Leader Class Jetfire Figure 30th Anniversary

  TOY TUESDAY 

*For Toys Tuesdays are the days I'm going to post Action Figures that still new in there package that are part of my collection. Many more to come.*

Transformers Generations Leader Class Jetfire Figure 30th Anniversary

Jetfire is one of my all time favourite Action Figure. I guess because he is related to Robotech and Macross mechs. I also loved him in the Transformers cartoons. I try to collect almost related to Jetfire, Macross or Robotech. I got this Jetfire for a present from my family. They accept me for my geeky ways.

Jetfire is ancient and powerful, but he would prefer to stay hidden in the background rather than on the front lines. He is a peaceful robot at heart, preferring the stately, ordered excitement of science to the frenzy of battle. But the reckless ambition of the Decepticons and the senseless violence of their war sickened him, so he left Cybertron to go into hiding. He slumbered in peace for years. Reawakened by the arrival of the war on Earth, he decided once again to enter the fight – this time on the side of the Autobots, and this time to end it for good, whatever the cost.

 Although the ancient war between the Autobots and Decepticons has been raging for centuries, the mighty Transformers robots are celebrating 30 Earth years of awesome battle action! When you add these Transformers Generations Thrilling Anniversary action figures to your collection, you can become a part of this epic history. Each toy converts from toy vehicle to robot and back. With awesome action features, amazing detail, and a variety of characters to choose from, there’s something for everyone with Transformers Generations toys! Collect your favourite characters, pick your side, and join the battle for Earth!

The science-minded Jetfire figure converts from a robot to fighter jet and back again. He's equipped with a photon missile launcher, arm-mount cannon, and detachable turbo thrusters. With a removable battle helmet he wears in robot mode, he's ready for anything the Decepticons throw at him. Battle him against your other Transformers figures!

I love this Version of Jetfire also

Super Dimension Century Orguss Orgoid / Takatoku (Robotech/Macross)

Super Dimension Century Orguss        

The Action Figure I bought many years ago from my bud many years ago. When I was younger I was told it was related to Robotech some how but I was not really sure. Now I found out some new information about this figure.

Orguss was originally planned to be used as the third season of Robotech in the United States just as the two other Super Dimension series (Macross and Southern Cross) were used for the two first seasons. Instead, the anime Genesis Climber Mospeada was used as the third segment of Robotech. Additionally, these three series are not sequels, prequels, or even in the same story universe as one another. They do share "The Super Dimension" moniker in their titles and were presented by Big West. That was the only connection that each of the Super Dimension shows had with each other.

ORGROID

Takatoku produced 1/40 scale Orguss Orgroid from Super Dimensional Century Orguss. The Orguss Orgroid was the flagship vehicle from the Orguss series. Orguss is piloted by Kei Katsuragi, a fighter jock and cad, who is transported to another dimensional after a dimensional Time Oscillation Bomb he sets triggers during the heat of battle.

This transformable action figure still looks pretty good after all these years in storage. Unfortunatley I do not have all the accesories, weapons and the original packaging it comes with. I hope in time I will be able to find all the parts form him.

 In the Super Dimension Century Orguss series the year is 2065. The world is at war. The two superpowers clash over the space elevator. Far more dangerous than atomic, biological, or chemical weapons are dimensional weapons, such as the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb. Despite the tremendous power of this bomb, it must be armed on-site by a team of engineers.

TANK

The Freedom Space Corps launch an offencive to plant a Space/Time Oscillation Bomb and destroy the space elevator. During this attack, the engineers are forced to abort the mission and destroy the bomb before it can be properly armed. Enraged at the decision to abort and feeling that his comrades have died in vain, brash fighter pilot Kei Katsuragi haphazardly arms the bomb with severe repercussions.

A dimensional explosion transports Kei and his Bronco 2 variable fighter to a severely damaged future. There he is pursued for unknown reasons by the militaristic Chilam and aided by the Gypsie-like Emaan. Both sides have some unknown interest in Kei referring to him as a "Tokuiten".

After Kei's fighter is damaged during a fight the Emaan modify it into the Orguss, the eponymous mecha from the series.

GERWALK

Kei Katsuragi

Second Lieutenant of the Freedom Space Corps. Age 20. He was assigned on a mission to escort and provide cover to a group of engineers who were arming the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb in order to destroy the Space Elevator. When circumstances force the mission to abort, Kei decides to properly arm the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb himself. This resulted with Kei being transported 20 years into the future, where he is found by a group of tradesfolk from Emaan, believing him to be the Idiosynchratic Point. Aside from being a formidable pilot, Kei is also a womanizer, having several different girlfriends which he dates alternately before he met the Emaans, in which he begins a new romantic relationship with Mimsy. Even in his relationship with Mimsy, Kei still tends to flirt with any other woman that catches his eye.

Super Dimension Century Orguss' 35 episodes, only 17 of them were available in English in dub-only format in the early 1990s on video tape from U.S. Renditions, before the majority of the company's shows (excluding Orguss) were bought up by Manga Entertainment. Manga Entertainment did however release Orguss 02 on both video tape and DVD.

STATS

Height: 8.7m
Width: 6.0m
 Length: 5.1m
Weight: 6.7 tons
Main Engines: FF-2060CT x 2
Armament: Missile gun x 1

The Orguss can transform to Orgroid (Robot) mode, fighter mode, Gerwalk mode and Tank mode. Each mode has advantages and disadvantages, but the wide range of transform modes can cover all combat situations.

The Orguss was named by Jaby, after his peoples' god of war, and was built by Leegh from the remains of Kei's Bronco fighter. The Orguss is armed with a projectile/missile gun early on and a beam weapon later. The tubes in the Orgroid arms are missile launchers.

The Orguss has a Drifand propulsion system, which is the Emaan's anti-gravity drive system. Emaan mecha still use thrusters for additional speed, but the primary lift (and the light weight of their mecha) is from the Drifand grav system. Kei's original Orguss is also tricked out with extra electronics and more responsive control systems to match Kei's superb piloting skills.

Soon  the Orrguss Orgoid well be going back to my buddy. It was one of his first action figures he ever got. He forgot he sold it to me.  We were talking one time and he was telling me of one of the first action figures he ever had. Then I just reminded him that I bought it from him years ago. It would be cool to reunite them again.
