Wow. My first thought one

Wow. My first thought one seeing that was "Is that a Valk or an Aura Battler?"

The YF-19 and YF-21 are

The YF-19 and YF-21 are the beginning of the decline of the extended Valkyrie family in my mind. Only the VF-11 and VF-2SS (and their associated SAP armored forms) were any good. Beyond that, there's too many sharp or unexplained angles, the different modes look weird, and accessories tend to be really weird. They're just not as cohesive as the originals.
Now, that's not to say I am not open to future interpretations beyond what was seen in the original series, just that none of what have come out appeal to me in the same way.

(It's the same deal with Starscream from the various Transformers series- none of the toys was appealing enough for me to want to get one until his "Transformers Animated" incarnation appeared... which I am now actively hunting for/awaiting to appear with great interest!)
