Talk:Space Case (G2)

Space Case's altmode is defintely not a S-37; while the S-37 and Space Case both anve forward-swept wings and teo engines, the similarites end there. Space Case has no canards, differnt tails, no tailbooms, a different forward fuselage and a differnt nose.

Furthermore, Space Case's toy predates the S-37. --Darthfish 04:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Space Case definitely has canards. Do you have a toy in-hand? --ItsWalky 13:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Teletraan I!

For future reference, when something is wrong in a very straightforward way, it's generally not necessary to bring it up on the talk page. Just feel free to correct it and put a simple note why in the edit summary. --Suki Brits 04:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The designation was initially S-32, changed to S-37, and then to Su-47 through the plane's development. It's gone by a few number designations.

But as for Space Case being one... Not really, no. The only similarity between the two is the hypercritical wings. Space Case also has them drooped, while the Berkut has them straight across. The Berkut also has sizable upright stabilizers, which Space Case lacks, and very long horizontal tailplanes while SC has more outward-pointed ones in a very flat V-tail formation. SC's forward canards are tiny compared to the Berkut, and also have a groove implying a fixed forward section and rear flap, while the Berkut has full-flight canards.

Now, engines. The Berkut sports a pair of cylindrical thrust-vectoring nozzles for its engines, flanked by two unequal-length tailcones; Short one a rear-facing radome, the long one housing a drag chute. Space Case sports 'pointy' two-dimentional thrust-vectoring nozzles, as seen on the F-22, and lacks either of the two tailcones.

As for nosecones, the Berkut has a long, pointed, and ROUND nose and cockpit taken directly from the Su-35 series, including the raised blister which protrudes forward of the right side of the canopy. Space Case, instead, has a shortened nosecone, which is blunted, flattened and sports chines. It also lacks that forward blister. While both have intakes to either side of the nosecone, they're divergent in shape.

And all this, of course, ignores the robot kibble slung underneath Space Case, as well as the hunchbacked shape the jet's taken to fit it all underneath.

Conquest X-30

I think this mold's jet mode is based on the GI Joe Conquest X-30 (itself based on the Grumman X-29). Khajidha 20:36, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
