VB-6 König Monster Sketchley stats

[Sketchley]

I've revised the stats.  Basically tweaked a few things, added a bunch of groovy snaps from Macross F, and bumped up the medium range missiles to long range missiles.

Though... in one of the episodes of MF, the K?nig Monster can be seen firing what looks like a gun pod style attack out of the middle barrel of it's arm in gerwalk mode.  Was this an animation error?  Or the use of some kind of new anti-Vajra weapon (not very effective, mind you)?

VB-6 K?nig Monster into three modes: shuttle (fighter), Gerwalk, and Destroid (battroid) mode, depending on the situation

I always assume that the Monster's natural/original Destroid mode would be Gerwalk on the VB-6.

[Sketchley]

Me too.  But as two official sources (the Macross Frontier homepage and the Compendium) refer to it as such... why'd they switch battroid to destroid?  No idea.  In some ways, it doesn't make much sense, as the mecha has less of the more powerful weapons available in that mode.

Battroid Koning Monster

Yeah... definitely firing some type of small calibre gun out of the writsts...

updated the stats with the latest information/translations: http://www.macrossroleplay.org/Sketchley/Statistics/VB-6/VB-6.htm

Major changes:
- factual background info & stats
- greens to indicate what is canon and what's ficticious
- revision of the range and payload of the rail cannons (basically precision aim from cannon source, total range and payload base on canon source on the HWR-00 Mk II (logic being a doubling of total number of shells due to removal of chemical propellant, minus space needed for transformation system, and so on.
- revision of types of arm missiles fired and their damages (standard, multi-warhead and reaction), as well as total range  Payload and range based on canon HWR-00 Mk II info.  Reduction in total missiles (HWR-00 Mk II has 12 per arm) based on logic that arm short range missile launchers take up space.
- addition of arm high-speed launchers.  Payload based on logic that one RMS-1 equates to 15 HMM-01.  3 large missiles were removed for 45.  (Arbitrary, but the high-speed launchers are shown firing lethal volumes in the new Macross PSP game)
- addition of optional arm gatling guns on S.M.S. specification airframes.
- addition of IDECM and enhanced countermeasures based on latest translations for the VF-0 and VF-1.
- standard equipment revised with same.
- combat bonuses revised to be similar to those for the updated VF-1 and VA-3.

The only part of the stats that I'm scratching my head over is that the VB-6 is described as having armour that isn't effected by anti-air weapon.  Does that mean that say a 30 mm gun pod won't harm it but a 55 mm one will?  All gun pods won't?  :confused:

Changes:
- internal missile launchers changed to the new system.

For a while I was waffling over incorprating the arm missiles, as well as the semi-recessed missiles of the VF-4 in the missiles.htm, but have decided against it, as I feel it's implied that these missiles are only for the VFs that they're pictured with (or, the other VFs don't have the capabilities of utilizing these missiles).
