69.131.204.92: /* Which Universe? */ new section

I don't really see the resemblance to the XF5U (removed the reference - if you put it back, can you point out what's so similar?). I could've sworn I saw a German prototype or design study that looked like Highbrow's vehicle mode, but can't find anything on Luft 46 that matches. There might be some influence from the [http://www.luft46.com/bv/bvp170.html Blohm & Voss P.170], what with the general fuselage shape, the cockpit being set so far behind the wing and Highbrow's nose having an intake and propeller cone (but no prop). I think the connection's probably too tenuous to add, but maybe someone else can take a look and see.

:To me the cockpit set up being so far back is more reminiscent of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XF5F Grumman XF5F Skyrocket] than anything else. But even that is tenuous. Unless a designer comes forward with more information "modified P-38" is probably as good as we can get. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:12, 19 November 2010 (EST)
::Look at it in profile, the way the cockpit is at the very back and the general lines. That, and the fuselage front section (fake engine). There might be a bit of Skyrocket in there, too. I swear I've seen something closer than just a P-38, but I just can't place it. --[[User:Torgo|Torgo]] 19:03, 21 November 2010 (EST)
:::The P170 has the cockpit way at the end of the tail, much further back than Highbrow's. The faux central engine, maybe. But, again, unless a designer says one way or another we probably can't make any definitive statements. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 19:10, 21 November 2010 (EST)

== Which Universe? ==

Is there any indication on what universe this guy is from? Is he from the movieverse, because it mentions [[The Fallen]]? [[Special:Contributions/69.131.204.92|69.131.204.92]] 23:13, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
