I figured the base concept was glarkable from the phrasing, but yeah - Her Britannic Majesty's Super Sky-Fortress Macross is an idea that popped into my head the other day, when I realized that the already cool premise of Super Dimension Fortress Macross could be made even more awesome just by messing with the date in the setup line.

In 1879, a gigantic alien spacecraft crash-landed on an island in the Pacific...

Well, presumably that would be Lady Lisa Hayes, daughter of Admiral Donald "Dreadnaught" Hayes, 3rd Viscount Barrow, GCB, RN.

I think I'm going to have to go with Victorian Macross, though, because I think you'd have a lot of fun with it and it's such a neat idea.

And in grand EPU style, it will probably incorporate elements from just about every Victorian high-adventure story... <grin>

My vote as well, breaking what I am sure was a momentary 50-50 tie.

Anyways I voted for B-term a while back... although now i'm curious about a victorian SDF crew :O

-kinda makes sense if you think about it.

Owing to some missing equipment, the Macross has to transform that way in order to use its main armament.

Yeah, namely her fold engines. Disappeared when she did her first (and only) fold from Earth to a point just past Pluto. Good example of why you don't try folding in a gravity well, especially in a hurry. But since the engines disappeared, the connection between the reaction furnaces and the main gun was severed. About the same time, they realized the Macross was modular, so they could bridge the connection by reconfiguring the ship into its "attack mode."

This was, for those who can remember, brought up by Gryphon as a joke in The Long Road, where he asks over the com if the engines are still there after the SDF-17's first fold.

"Holy crap, it's a giant robot!" is sufficient reason.

For *anything*.

Well, you'd have trouble ditching Lynn completely--the one-clueless-guy-and-two-different girls thing is a classic. But you'd have to either make her exactly the same (ew) or change her completely (yay) to make it work. I'm playing Enchanted Arms now, and I gotta admit, the similarities are amusing.
