VF-171 Nightmare Plus in its fighter form from Macross Frontier.

nuns? Intersting... lol My fighters are Shivan fighters from Freespace 2. lol Do they fire bullets or lasers? (Battlestar Galactica had the humans using bullets against the Cylons. lol)

Ignore the NUNS bit :3 That stands for New United Nations Spacy in the anime.

They use something like a laser machinegun as their main weapons and plenty of missiles. Plasma knives as secondary weapons (Robot form only for obvious reasons) and they do possess a weak energy barrier, which, when needed can be used to energise the fist to do a punching attack (Not making this up, it was in the anime ). Some also have beam guns as well.

you need a strong shield to survive in order of rping group :3 Seven-kun

These are only fighters ^_^ but don't worry they're get stronger progessively.

... as all we ^_^
