Thunderforce VI finally gets its own Wikipedia entry months after making it official. It appears that they tried to continue the timeline from Thunderforce V, or is that true? I mean, take a hint on this excerpt of the RVR-00 Phoenix from the wiki:
The next generation trial production type general purpose fighter, created by scientists from the United Earth Fleet. Although its number is set before RVR-02 Vambrace, the Phoenix is more advanced than its predecessor, a multipurpose fighter that was put to the test against Orn forces. It can battle independantly without need for supporting forces, able to absorb energy from various attacks by Orn forces and perform CRAW macromolecule assist. Phoenix is originally built from the remains of an unidentified ship, however this information is kept top secret by the military.
Ship? or SHIPS? I mean, seriously, anybody who hasn’t heard of Broken Thunder should drop dead now. RVR-00 Phoenix has production designs of both RVR03G Bracer (A.K.A. Rarebrace) and FIRE-LEO05VC Syrex (A.K.A. Syrinx, but this name is also used officially for the first presumed release of TFVI, so they dropped it and took the current name instead)!

It’s the only picture of the RVR-00 Phoenix around…
From the picture’s point of perspective, let’s take a look at RVR-00 Phoenix’s wingspan. Most parts are from the Bracer’s and Syrex’s wingspans, the cannons from the former and the extended boosters from the latter. The shield on the left wing is probably from RVR-02B Brigandine, and the long Over Weapon cannon is possibly a variation of RVR-02 Vambrace’s version. The wingspan length is derived from RVR-01 Gauntlet, while the lower supports are from Bracer. The overhead booster is from Bracer as well.
Now, the design isn’t really bad. I mean, it’s VERY GOOD! All the latest possible designs from the Earth side is jammed into one experimental starfighter (to which we’re yet to know the pilot, but may still possible that it’s Cenes Crawford…) that will own interstellar ass in the future years to come. The CRAWs used by the Phoenix are also revved up with the new Marcomolecule Assist. But if its design we’re talking about, RVR-02 Vambrace still gets my vote. You never get pure power and pure simplicity in one machine.
