Yes, the gunship is a fully functional spacecraft on its own and it can fire independently as well (though firepower is limited when not fed power from the Battle 7 itself)

The Gunship from Battle Class Stealth Space Attack Carrier (from the 1994 series Macross 7). The gunship is nestled under the forward half of the ship when in Carrier Mode, carried in the right arm in Attack Mode. Gunship by Kazutaka Miyatake. Colors by me. Newtype Magazine art by Munenori Nawa
I really like some of the ideas in the concept. Especially the idea of mixing individual parts with the production version of the Armored Pack. Sorta like customizing it for a specifica mission type or role 🥰
Hehehe, just trying to entice us all to keep crafting 🥰
Did we... make the right choice?
The alternate ending and dates for Macross VF-X2 have been uploaded to YouTube!
This is the final set of uploads for this project! From the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you all.

The keyboards and green-black computer screen of a spaceship control panel are mostly hidden by the shoulders and helmet of an astronaut facing away from the viewer. They have a colorful, complex outfit with tubes and wires attached to the back. In front of the spaceship, a giant black floppy disk hangs in outer space, inexplicably.
An astronaut with tubes in the exact same spot as the other illustration looks out of a circular window of a TIE Fighter at the Death Star.
Happy Control Panel Saturday from "Walter and Jacques," the credited artists for this 1983 cover to the Portuguese microcomputer hobbiest magazine Micro Mundo. It appears to be a trace of a flipped version of this 1977 Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars concept!
I know it's not anyone's hope, but exploitative AI will go on until an artist from a poor or ill-favored country creates the next X-Wing, or VF-1 Valkyrie, or Giger Alien, or Gundam, or USS Enterprise, or Iron Man, etc. Afterward everyone will cry foul about how "we" lost the pop culture war
Concept art of the VF-1J GBP-1S Armored Valkyrie from the 1982 anime series Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Concept art plus finalized official version art. The Armored Valkyrie concept was never animated and these colors are my own fan-made interpretation. Line art by Shoji Kawamori. Colors by me

Had a lot of fun with this one.
Macross: Do You Remember Love (1984)
My newest fan art, and first for the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. I put the characters in place of their mecha. Who's zooming who, indeed? Included is the original reference image for the pool.

I love this series. Gundam 00 is still one of my all time favorites and holds up very well upon repeat viewings 🥰

Stuff!
I hope they do well! I'm so impressed with the fan made merchandise. It's worthy stuff 🥰
Been far too long to have gone without. We need so much more Battle Class goodness 🥰
Yes, I believe so. But again, there's no official trivia. I'm relying heavily upon the Hasegawa model kits which seem to indicate two thruster ports upon each wing root that produce thrust. Attached guide
That is great to hear! I'm always happy to provide folks with added insight and details into the Macross mecha. It's one of my biggest hopes for my M3 fan site 🥰
It's astounding what fans can build now with 3D printing. It's truly a new age in which all kinds of incredible fan projects can be created, ripe for those mecha which apparently are destined to never be sold as official releases 🥰
That is line art from the Macross Frontier Bandai 1/72 scale model kits, via the Macross Frontier Archives book. I've never owned a Bandai kit of the VF-25, but the book on page 8 sure seems to show two banks of 3-thrusters each upon the rear bottom torso/rear fuselage
Sometimes overlooked rockets/thrusters upon the rear torso Macross valkyries. One example is the VF-17 Nightmare from Macross 7. Another is the VF-25 Messiah from Macross Frontier. On most variable fighters, these are easily visible. Line art by Shoji Kawamori. Guide by me
