A macross fights a Bigger macross, then destroyed the Gun. Then even a Bigger Macross came to punch the shit out of the huge Macross. Damn, that's a mouthful.

[robotechsto]

because nothing says that you are totally pissed off at something/ somebody than punching them in the face with an aircraft carrier, got to love the Macross Attack

The best bit was Battle Frontier punching Battle Galaxy in half.

[figrmm]

I nearly screamed out when the frontier just came and smacked the galaxy. To that all I have o say DAMN!!!

[jetvulcan]

the follower up attack by the frontier is always such a bonus

Daedalus Attack was used first in episode 6 of the original SDF Macross.
Yes, they called it as such.

Macross Attack in episode 27 is a bit different because they used the ship's prow instead of the Deadalus to perform the attack.

Of course the "Macross Attack" in Frontier is more like the former, performing a punch with the reinforced Daedalus.

All the technologies in the series could not compare to the sheer awesomeness of that simple physical punch !!! "PWNED!!!" INDEED !!

When i watched this when it was first aired i was screaming my head of it gave me chills and it still dose. Felt sorry for the battle galaxy when battle frontier punched it in half. Good ships don't deserve to die just like the Yamato.

Honestly the worst way to go down in any sci fi. Having an aircraft carrier punch through your ships hull and launch nuclear missiles into your ship. It was just plain dirty tactic that works and it is epic

[LordZero]

If you think about it, it's literally a punch with the weight of an entire spaceship behind it. The enemy ship will fold like wet tissue paper.

[geoffreystorckman]

actually he orders the whole macross to attack the main "command center" and he literally rams the entire macross into it and unloads everything they have into it. just watched that episode yesterday.

The Daedalus Maneuver ^_^ What a classic move.

[Nehfarius]

0:25
M. Galaxy: ...well, shit, my gun's completely fucked.
M. Frontier: Not half as fucked as YOU're going to be! TAKE THIS!

[RMish]

Frontier is the best Macross sequel next to Plus. Bar none.

[Neosixth]

Well, I can say that "Daedalus Attack" must got to be the most baddass move or attack a SHIP could do.

[RRapierre]

Even the small Macross carriers are useful O_O
That bitch took Galaxy's entire arm off.

But I'm pretty sure Frontier could've handled it by itself...

[ironkeko]

We need the full version of what about my star and lion remix

[Kirbyeggs]

Misa, who came up with it, calls it the Daedalus attack because that arm was made out of the carrier Daedalus, Episode 6 or 7

[geoffreystorckman]

exept when your punched by 2 aircraft carrier's in a row, and he got punched in the gun and the gut
