The SDF-1 Macross from Super Dimension Fortress Macross.Present on the eponymous mecha of Space Runaway Ideon.The fact that they're called Fin Funnels only gives bonus points. The ν Gundam (Nu Gundam) has its funnels.◊ And in this case, the fins come mounted with cannons in addition to the standard thrusters. And the Rick Dias' successor in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, the Schuzrum Dias, takes this to ridiculous proportions.In this case, they function as either extra "limbs" for zero-G maneuvering, or thruster mounts.
